Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter
Page 91
All mortal sin by His definition is the type of sin that keeps you out of
Heaven, gets you throne into the lake of fire and ultimately results in your second death. That second death is the death of your soul. Therefore, the idea that mortal sin is a “qualified or conditioned” type of “grave sin” and the idea of “venial sin” per se is simply wrong. Go back and study Lev.
18:22, 20:13; John 8:34-35; Romans 1:26-32; Romans 2:2-3; 1 Cor. 6:9; 2 Cor. 12:21; Col. 3:5-7; 2 Peter 2:18; Jude 1:4; and, Revelations 21:8, 22:15 along with others and show me any qualification from God. Those who do what God says will result in the lake of fire and second death will actually
find them self there and no church theology will prevent Christ from fully executing God’s will in this regards. To teach otherwise is apostasy.
My sixteen year old grandson Christopher and I had a conversation a
few weeks ago and I was trying to illustrate the issue of exactly how reason works in the area of male sexuality. I told him I remembered what it was like when I was sixteen back in 1962. My hormones raged and my young male body was on autopilot. Young men don’t have to think much about sex
to experience a spontaneous erection. This erection fact of the male sexual makeup takes place even into the mid 30’s or longer. Just seeing a beautiful woman, whether I even thought about her breasts or other body parts was irrelevant. It just happened, even in some rather embarrassing situations. If
a young man actually thinks about sex, he is liable to go nuts. Instead, to counter this autonomic physical response, a young man thinks about fixing a car engine or any other mental thought that might take his mind off the idea of sex. This aspect of a young male body continues on for quite some time.
Even in marriage, thinking of sex while having sex can lead to premature ejaculation in an inexperienced male. It is an attribute of male sexuality.
Between Christopher and I is my son Brian who is now 32 years old.
I remember when Brian was 13 years old. It was 1985 and it seemed like female liberation was unfolding in terms of sexual freedom. A young girl 15 years old was trying to bag Brian in the sack, which is to say have sex with him. My first male thought was: “Darn, I should have been so lucky back in
1959.” That thought quickly gave way to yikes! Jackie and I had a few talks with Brian about sexuality to say the least.
