The God KindSex: Why is it so misused and abused?
We live in an age where sex is a theme across the planet. It has a multitude of variations in how it is applied, such as fornication (sex outside marriage), adultery, homosexuality, pedaphilia, child sexual trade, sex with animals, group sex, etc. Why is sex so prevalent and so misused when compared to so many other sins in the world? Why isn't theft, or murder, or lying as prevalent? Of course, those things ARE around far more than they should be, but sex seems to be a preoccupation of millions or even billions of people. WHY?
Sexual sins are probably the most long term destructive and devastating sin human kind is subjected to. Wars and murder certainly are immediately destructive to flesh and blood, but this destruction takes place quickly, except where injuries take place. In sexual sins, the damage is being done in the MIND as well as the body. Satan is the author of sin, and his lusts and perversions are what people across the planet are picking up... tuning into as it were, and are following his lead. Why would Satan be interested in sex?
Sex, when misused, affects not only relationships, but individuals, and it slowly damages people's MINDS. Satan is interested in preventing humankind from achieving the destiny God has planned. To simply kill a human leaves their minds as they were, but when Satan can encroach into people's minds, over time, it is here he can do damage that he hopes will be permanent, and will destine that person to the lake of fire, never to be able to achieve eternal life.
Satan and his angels seem to be involved with sex, not only vicariously through human activities, but also genetically. This, too, has an affect on the offspring of humankind.
To understand how pervasive attacks on humans is, and the agenda of individuals and groups have for us and our children, check out information on the movie Narnia and Walt Disney productions, and many other links available from this website on what we are facing in this world.
Sex is to be between a man and woman who have made a commitment to each other for life. It is far more than a physical act. It involves commitment... choice... and not fleeting relationships based on physical lusts. Marriage, where sex was designed to work in, is actually symbolic of the relationship between God and His people. Sex is a binding tool. It creates intimacy within a relationship, and helps strengthen that relationship. When people misuse sex outside such a relationship, it makes future relationships harder to maintain. It becomes easy to abandon a relationship because people have been practicing for that by casual sexual encounters without commitment or attachments.
It is like grade school and high school "boy friends" and "girl friends." Most people go through numerous such relationships in their school days, and these sort of casual "puppy love" arrangements... going "steady," is simply practice for divorce and easily dropping a relationship you grow tired of. Add sex to these relationships, and you create greater emotional issues where someone invariably gets hurt far more, and where our kids are saddled with adult responsibilities and adult emotional challenges they haven't grown into as yet.
The same goes for adults who practice these things. It is destructive to relationships, the family structure, which is a major key to a civilization's ability to survive. Disease is spread, in far more ways than most realize, and the bugs are provided a huge number of hosts upon which to feed and be spread. Sexual misuse is a major contributor of subclinical infective agents. Sex was designed by God to be between one man and one woman, for life. This, if practiced, would remove a huge number of penalties, and suffering by so many, especially our children. The practice of sexual encounters, whether actual intercourse takes place or not, is threatening their futures, their health and their eternity.
God's laws are here for our protection.
