This is a question sent in by anonymous on the “Ask Aaron Anything” link:
My Answer:
Sexual immorality is defined clearly in scripture if you look to the greek word porneia and not the english dictionary. The term was used frequently in Judeo-Christian literature to refer to premarital or extramarital intercourse. Sexual immorality (poneia) is defined as any extra marital sexual arousal. It seems to me you are wanting God to bless your sex as long as you think it is a meaningful relationship. God defines a meaningful relationship and that is the covenant relationship of marriage. You do not get the leisure in your lust to define whether or not sex is immoral or meaningful, you will always say it is meaningful because you want to have sex.
If you love God and want to obey all His commands then you will not try and define sex or relationships outside of the protective, loving, boundaries of scripture. I would suggest that you listen to my series, “Summer Sex Talk.” I pray that you are not looking to the world or your lust to define sex and relationship. The only one that has the right to define sex and relationship is the one that created it, GOD!
