Sorry I don't agree with your take on it. But I will agree that sex inside of marriage is a beautiful thing. But God intended it to be for marriage not fornication. I just see it as fornication outside of marriage now. This one of the views that was changed in my conversion to a life of faith.Hell, no. Not nearly as much heartache as marriages have caused in peoples' lives.
KK, you're a mess. Sex is beautiful. Marriage is slavery.
It is also a strong conviction I have personally. But I do realize many believe what's right for me is not right for them. In other words they agree to disagree with their own personal perception of it. But again I go to God's word and see something like this... Life by the Spirit
So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature. For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under law.
The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions,and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
I myself want to choose a life that shows fruit of the spirit rather than being someone who chooses to be more carnally minded.
Gulp!
