Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter
Page 2
WARNING: This is a sexually explicit chapter designed for mature
readers and students of the Holy Bible. Having said that, I am writing this chapter with my grandchildren in mind who now range in ages 1-16. God, in His divine wisdom, is sexually explicit in the Holy Bible. The reason for that is His desire that we should be informed of all sexual matters from His
perspective. If you are old enough to understand this paragraph, you are old enough to read this chapter. If you do not fully understand what I am saying right now, go get your parent or guardian to assist you before continuing on. For too long, Christians have not had a substantive teaching about God’s perspective on human sexuality.
God has said that those who are “sexually immoral” are excluded from Heaven and are even destined for “the lake of fire and a second death.” Therefore, every Christian should learn God’s truth and His perspective on
our human sexuality. These might be the end times! In this chapter, I will attempt to clarify what God considers sexually moral v. immoral in His Holy Bible. While it is true that the Bible does not speak directly to some sexual subjects like oral sex or masturbation, God’s Word still provides guidance to
us on those subjects. Just like the subject of abortion, if you consider His character and relevant Bible verses, God will give your heart understanding of human sexuality. This assumes you’ve given your heart to God.
The last chapter considered the heart v. intellect in obeying God. This chapter considers the issue of you exerting control over your own sin. God expects you to exert control over sin! Given the physical pleasure in sex, it has to be the biggest test of our human spirit’s ability to demonstrate control.
Many fail to exert any control over their sexual sins. Others simply ignore sexual sins claiming that Jesus Christ has forgiven them and its now okay to be a “willful sinner.” Yet God does reject sexually immoral people.
God Says To Rule Over Your Sin!
“If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin lies at the door [of your heart]. And its desire is for you, but you should rule over it.” Genesis 4:7 NKJV
