Sexuality &
Marriage Straight
Talk
With all the talk about sexuality and marriage,
it only seemed right that I have an article that takes on this topic.
This is especially with all the distortion that goes on in the world about
these two things. So let's begin.
Keep in mind that the people I am
addressing on this topic are Christians, biblical born again Christians.
The natural man/woman is just not going to get what I am talking about
here. This is because they don't want to get it and because they do not
have the Holy Spirit to lead and teach them the things of God.
The
bible is very simple on the topic of sexuality and marriage. It says
marriage is between one man and one woman. We see this in Genesis where
scripture says, "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and
called their name Adam, in the day when they were created." Then we
see in the book of Matthew, Jesus saying, "Have ye not read, that he
which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said,
For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to
his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no
more twain, but one flesh." This is very clear, one man with one
woman.
The bible shows us that any sexual activity outside of a
marriage is wrong. Even when men had more than one wife, scripture showed
that to not work out well. And clearly more than two people are not going
to become one, as we see what Jesus said. Also, two people of the same
gender are not what scripture speaks of for marriage. But today some
state governments are perverting marriage and allowing that
which is not true marriage to take place and handing out licenses for
such.
I have come to believe that there should be no such thing as
a marriage license. Marriage is a private thing and only those who wish to
participate should do so (this means no forcing businesses to
participate.) All the government should do is recognize that two people
make the claim to be married and that should be all that is needed. If the
government is not going to do it God's way, then it should not do it at
all. In other words, I don't believe our government should say what is and
is not a legal marriage. Imagine the power that this would take out of the
hands of the wicked, if we could just get our government out of the
business of marriage and to respect the rights of businesses to say no if
they choose to.
Marriage is a beautiful thing between two
Christians who do it God's way. When two Christians come together and
make a life together it is going to be rough and they are going to spend
time fighting and crying. But they will also have good times, loving
times, times where they really feel that oneness with each other. And
marriage is not all about sex. Yes, sex is a great thing in a marriage.
But there is far more to marriage than sex. And no, I do not believe that
God meant anything goes in the marriage bed, when He said it is undefiled.
I believe He was meaning that sex is not a sin in the marriage bed. I
don't believe He was meaning we could do disgusting perverted things in
bed that cause harm.
Keep in mind that scripture tells both the
husband and the wife to submit to one-another. Then scripture tells the
woman the same thing again and goes on to tell the man to love
his wife as Jesus loves the church. This scripture is meaning exactly what
it says. Couples should not make more or less of it than it says. Submit
to each other. Yes, that means wives too. And husbands, die to yourself
and do what is right for your wife, love her with all that is in you and
begin with loving God before all else.
In a true biblical Christian
marriage there are three. There is the husband, the wife, and the Lord.
Married Christian couples should not forget about the Lord. There is no
better way to be close to each other than to study God's word together and
pray and praise the Lord together. Prayer for blessings on the marriage
are a wonderful thing. Actually, a good way to know if what you are doing
or about to do sexually in your marriage is okay with God to do, is to see
if you can actually ask God to bless it. If you cannot even get those
words out of your mouth about something you are getting ready to do, then
do not do whatever that something is. There is your answer. Let God
be who you go to about
everything. |
