Sex is not sin.

     This blog was inspired by someone saying "sex is just a urge us weak people can not withstand" This was a offensive statement to me because it reflects the idea of a biblical thought that is simply not true. This idea promotes defeat. I am just a weak individual  & until God gives me the ability not to fail I have no choice. I know this because I fell into it for a time. Rom 6:6 says that sin is powerless over us because of Yeshua. If that is true then our ability is from Him is given "past tence"  How often is our prayer lost  on things already given? So if this battle is won how can we improve our own personal success rate of not falling to "immoral sex" The answer is by realizing sin has a promise and Adonai has a promise as well. One promise is short term gratification. The other may take some time to get to. The question now becomes who's promise do you want to chase?
     To make it real lets use me as an example. I was married but my wife wanted out. So I let her go. However now I am a guy who has needs. My sexual needs reigned over my life until I realized to chase the promise. The bible says that He does not withhold from those He loves. I found a girl that I would do almost anything for. However I have not talked to her in years. However this is what she does to me to just think her name "Rachel" I suddenly find that I strive to obey Adonai.  She is part of my promise."in faith"   Now I stand clear of sexual immorality in pursuance of that promise. My strength  in Adonai  is realized to me because I am faithfully chasing His promise & telling false promise to ***s off.  Sex was not my weakness ignorance of The Word was! Sex is a precious gift that we should not squander. It is part of the intimate bond that husband and wife have. And it reveals the character of Adonai. Marriage reveals a part of Him that we as people could not see without it. And sex is the deepest revealing of intimacy between man and wife. Therefore one of the greatest gifts from Him. I would rather reveal the character of Adonai through marriage than speak in tongues of angels.
