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!
The bible doesnt really say sex before marriage is straight out sin. However we cant fool the Convicting Spirit of God within us, Sex is meant for you and your spouse for the rest of your lives, and any sex outside of Gods covenant is wrong. Just look at the scriptures, they dont say sex before marriage is sin, they say ANY AROUSAL BEFORE MARRIAGE IS SIN! Lust is sin, immoral thoughts are sin, sex goes way beyond your thoughts, you make the evil in your heart reality, you manifest lust and wickedness from your heart and give birth to the wickedness of your heart. Sex is truly only meant for Gods covenant of marriage, and i never believed this until i broke myself down before the Cross of Christ, until i encountered our Savior. If anyone denies that sex before marriage is sin, it is because they are already birthing wickedness in there hearts from there lust, and there sinful flesh is in rebellion against God.
I am so glad to see this post. I have read other blogs that talk about how God cannot be against a loving and monogamous relationship, using this to support either heterosexual relationships outside the bonds of matrimony or homosexual partnership.
I am a simple guy and take the words of Genesis 2:24 pretty literally.
I love how the truth is so crisp and clear. No tingles in the pants ’till marriage. Your biggest sex organ is your mind, how funny is that… good thing Jesus took on the crown of thorns for freedom in our stupid minds..
…but where in the Bible, literally, does it define this and define a meaningful relationship?
