Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter
Page 90
Where there is no such heart commitment, I believe there is no calling
by God to get together or to get married. This is just another test of the start of a life-long relationship in God’s eyes. If your prospective partner’s heart needs convincing, you are barking up the wrong tree. If you’ve got to twist your partner’s arm or even repeat the request more than twice for a marriage
commitment, walk away from the relationship. It is just not of God.
Likewise, do not rush out to get a marriage certificate just because I’ve reminded you that you are headed towards Hell in such a relationship.
If your heart is not right with God, no legal paper will mean anything to your soul’s eternal outcome. If you are living together now, I suggest you first repent to God and then separate for a period of not less than 90 days from each other. Why 90 days? To give both of you some space, time and distance to clear your minds and to think clearly about what you really want
in life. Start to date again and reconsider your relationship with one another in the perspective of an eternal life. If you find that your hearts then want to spend the rest of their lives together, feel free to then get married. Only when you are married will it be safe to resume sexual activities. Of course,
we are then talking about the marriage bed and your first wedding night. They are fun and possess sexual freedom in God’s eyes for true lovers.
Millions of people are now dying of AIDS, which is preventable in all
but the most rare cases. When you have casual sex with anyone, you are literally having sex with everyone your partner has ever had sex with. If ever there was a time to return to old fashioned courting rituals between a man and woman, it is today. Get to know your prospective lover before you
get married. Then, in the marriage bed, you will find the freedom to let loose and enjoy what God has given us in terms of true sexual pleasures.
God Defines Mortal Sin, Not the Church!
Now lets add some clarity to the issue of mortal sin. The Church has distorted this subject and I will now remind all Christians that it is God Almighty and His Word that defines what constitutes a mortal sin and not the Church.
