Marriage Is Honorable If The Bed Is undefiled
Marriage Is Honorable, If The Bed Be Undefiled
First and foremost, it is important to understand that the Christian faith places a high value on sexual purity. This means that sex is intended to be a sacred act reserved for marriage between one man and one woman. Any sexual activity outside of this context is considered to be a violation of God's plan for human sexuality.
The Bible provides several passages that condemn sexual immorality and uphold the importance of sexual purity. For instance, in 1 Corinthians 6:18-20, it states, "Flee from sexual immorality. All other sins a person commits are outside the body, but whoever sins sexually, sins against their own body. Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies."
This passage, along with others in the Bible, make it clear that sexual immorality is not to be taken lightly. Instead, it is something that should be actively avoided, as it is a sin against both God and one's own body.
From a Christian perspective, premarital sex is viewed as a form of sexual immorality. This is because it involves engaging in sexual activity outside of the context of marriage. It is important to note that this is not meant to shame or judge those who have engaged in premarital sex. Instead, it is a recognition that all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
However, this recognition of sin should not lead to despair or hopelessness. Instead, it should lead to repentance and a turning away from sinful behavior. As Christians, we are called to live a life of holiness and purity, and this includes our sexual behavior.
Ultimately, the Christian perspective on premarital sex is rooted in the belief that sex is a gift from God intended to be shared within the context of marriage. Any sexual activity outside of this context is considered to be a violation of God's plan for human sexuality. While this may be a difficult standard to uphold, it is one that Christians are called to strive for as a way of honoring God and living a life of purity and holiness.
Experientially, I can tell you that as true spirit filled christian it affects your right standing with God in so many ways and gives the devil an opportunity to guilt trip you amongst other things, our convictions of God supersedes other things, like trying to keep a man by having premarital sex, which seems to be culture now and if you boldly try to keep yourself, you are the odd one.
If you can, abstain, it takes grace and a conscious - intentional decision, otherwise practice safe sex.
Hearty Cheers!!!
Abstaining from sex also protects you from other things that could affect you for the rest of your life unless by the mercy of God. Most people may not believe this but demons are transferred during sex wether we like it or believe it or not. God knew what he was doing when he commanded that we don’t indulge in sexual immorality. Once it’s been tasted, it becomes difficult to abstain. Not everyone can have tasted sex have the self will power to abstain. So I’ll say if you’ve never tasted sex, wait until marriage.
ReplyDeleteIf its true that demons can be transferred during sex, it means, Angels can also be transferred and received during sex too. To me its all about intentions. When you have come of age and have become your own man or woman, paying your bills and even taking care of your parents and happen to be single for one reason or another. What should you do when you feel horny? Just as you exercise your body to keep fit, exercise your mind through education, prayers, you also need to exercise your pleasures once in a while. And as long as it is consensual between these two grown and independent man and woman, I don't see anything wrong. You just have to be safe by choosing just one person and being careful.
Delete99.9% of all married men cheat. Yes you may be able to run away from the demons before marriage, but what about the one your husband is bringing home from all his weekend hookup ladies? Or the one the cheating wives bring home?
Just live a balanced life, everything in moderation. Too much of anything is bad, even food, prayer and enjoyment.

I learnt the hard way, that sex goes beyond the natural pleasure of intimacy, sex is a covenant between two people.
DeleteNow the way it works is this: Because man is spirit primarily, and he is the zenith of God's creation, man was designed to function sexually with his soul mate (in marriage). Because beyond the flesh is the soul, and the soul is connected to his soul mate in marriage, they are one, not two.
So if sex is a covenant with one's soul mate, it therefore means that having sex with who ever is not my soul mate means enacting a covenant with them.
I got to understand that whether you know it or not, whether you are aware or not, covenants are enacted or renewed through sexual intercourse.
Imagine how many people have entered into covenants and not aware, then life becomes difficult, the flesh has gained dominion and Satan can easily access a person, because he who breaks the hedge, the serpent will bite - Ecclesiastes 10:8b
It is important to make informed and responsible decisions regarding one's sexual behavior. Engaging in consensual sexual activity with a trusted partner can be a healthy way to express one's sexuality, as long as it is done safely and respectfully.
DeleteHowever, it is not accurate to claim that 99.9% of married men cheat. Such a statistic is not supported by reputable research and can perpetuate harmful stereotypes and stigmas about men and their behavior in relationships.
life is spiritual I believe and as christians, we know that sex is a consumation of God's intents for marriage and we know the consequences of delving into spiritual activities outside the confines of God's will
Regardless, all lovely and deep perspective... Thank you all
DeleteIt's good to keep yourself before marriage. But you should know that you are doing it for you. Because there are no guarantees that the other person is keeping themselves. Let me speak from a guys point of view. All the male friends I know sleeps with another lady a night to their wedding, and continue even inside their marriage. If you think back on how you kept yourself for this man, you will be shattered. So make your decisions wisely and for you.
ReplyDeleteBecause they do it, do we now call light darkness? Do you know what the scriptures says about Sex outside of marriage? Respectfully, it's either we're Christians or not, period.

DeleteThere are various religions with different beliefs, so there would be several point of views that may seem like an endless debate. If you do according to your belief system, you would always be blissful. So its a mindset thing at the end of the day.
DeleteWhat is light and what is darkness Bassy? Light is not nessecarily good, neither is darkness nessecarily bad, but all exist for our growth and development. Would you say you would accept the day and reject the night time? Just like day cannot exist without night so does light can't exist without darkness.
DeleteWhen you kill all your demons, your angels would die too, they have no work left. So if darkness dissappears, light will also dissappear, because light alone cannot sustain itself. It needs darkness. Many might not understand this...
From a Christian perspective, sexual activity is considered a sacred and intimate act that should be reserved for marriage. The Bible teaches that sex is a gift from God to be enjoyed within the context of a committed, monogamous relationship between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:24; 1 Corinthians 7:2-5; Hebrews 13:4).
DeleteThe Bible also warns against sexual immorality, which includes any sexual activity outside of marriage, such as casual sex or adultery (1 Corinthians 6:18; Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 5:3-5). This is because sexual immorality can lead to negative consequences such as emotional pain, physical harm, and the erosion of trust in relationships.
Christians are called to live a life of holiness and to honor God with their bodies (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). This means making wise choices when it comes to sexual behavior and avoiding activities that could harm themselves or others.
Furthermore, Christians believe in the importance of repentance and forgiveness. If one has engaged in sexual activity outside of marriage, they can seek forgiveness from God and strive to make better choices in the future. Christians are also called to show love and compassion towards others, regardless of their past mistakes or choices.
In summary, from a Christian perspective, sexual activity should be reserved for marriage and avoided outside of that context. Christians are called to honor God with their bodies and make wise choices when it comes to sexual behavior. If one has engaged in sexual immorality, they can seek forgiveness and make efforts to live a life of holiness and love towards others.
Sex before marriage is not biblical, and also it's not safe.(both physically, morally, emotionally and spiritually)
ReplyDeleteGoing to bed with someone to prove your love is purely deceit based. If your partner can't keep his/her self before marriage no matter how much they speaks in tongues they'll cheat,( wether they hide it or confess) and a door has been opened for demons to access that relationship.if you find someone that can keep himself until marriage, that one has the capability of self-control even in marriage. Thanks
Perfectly said ma'am...
