This is a very crucial topic ever and is still the trend of disobedient and hardship among us, especially we the Christians. Sometimes, is annoying when the totally of salvation had been completely written off from the Bible by Bible Preachers. The idea of wealth creation and competition among 'Servant of God' (Decalled and Uncalled) baffle me in person. Pay Tithe, I love my Pastor, Offering, Covenant Offering, Plalete, gift, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and even 4th offering has also lead us to change 100 naira note into 10, 10 naira note to enable us participate in all around activity. The question is who is fooling who? Unemployment had increase fake preachers and everybody want to impress the other by their luxuries, which had lead to the removal of the salvation message totally from the church because everybody want to make numbers instead of members. This idea of the Satan, Dedevil is to pack many with him to hellfire. That is why he (the Devil) unleash the "hardest slave drive" (sex drive) unto us the, the creation of God to enable him succeed in his mission. Sexual urge is one of the shortest way to destruction be it in church or the society, even in public and private offices. The only way to overcome this slavery, is to understand that we are enemies to an enemy, be conscious of heaven, remove your naked eyes from flashy things and luxury especially the Ladies who are the carrier of this entanglement and above all read your Bible. All these will follow if only we repent and confess that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Personal Saviour. Also, be born again inwardly and know we are fighting with an unseen agent of Darkness which is the father of sex and immorality. Remain bless in Jesus name

I know many will castigate me or hate me for this. But then it is what is happening around in so many churches. Almost all religions in the world promotes moral chastity. Even the traditional religion does.

Christianity isn't left out. For over 10-15 years many us have been going to church, reading in the Bible that fornication and sexual immorality is a serious SIN against God. And those practicing it will not inherit His kingdom. 1 Corinthians 6: 9. Yet after reading this, Many wont stop to fornicate.

To this extent, many Christian brothers and sisters, have form their own moral standard. They claim it wrong to sleep with one you are not dating, but as along you both are dating, there is nothing wrong if you both have sex.

It wonders one to think if the Bible says fornication is only for those dating.
I Corinthians 7:1-5 makes it clear sex was for only married people.
1 Thessalonian 4:3-8 urges all Christians to flee from fornication.

From what is happening in today churches, people no longer has issues engaging in premarital sex. They believe as long they obey other laws it more than enough. No matter how many times they read it in their Bible, it wont stop them. Their conscience doesn't trouble them.

The hypocritical part is, they are quick to condemn prostitutes. You defile your body for free, prostitutes does it for money, who is now cheap? They condemn homosexuals and say it a serious SIN and yet they glorify fornication to an extent that people are virgins are regarded as fools. Ask yourself who really is God proud of?

The truth is no true christian or a God-fearing person will indulge in fornication. Even if he does, he repents and never return back to it.

There are no ways about it. You cant slave for two masters. It either you are a slave to sex or to God. And as the Bible tells us, the sins of sexual immorality leads to eternal destruction. Who fornication epp?

Why don't we live by what we read in our Bible? It definitely mean 95% of Christians wont not inherit the Kingdom of God. God has no double standard.

many christians i.e (true christians I mean not just church goers ) fornicate and know dat it is wrong without having any esques for it. It is a bad habit, just like masturbation which u can control even for months n just do it one day just for any reason. What m I saying, those christian who do it are batling with it n because bad habit can hardly be cancelled, they hardly overcome totally, so they depend and put their trust upon God to help them. But I don't think u should have ur eyes on that or even talk abt this topic because there are valid reason why God strictly warned us not 2 Judge! Thanks brilliant write up though.

In as much as Christians are also subject to the same temptation of formication as everyone else; it may not be true that they fall in the curious percent given by the op. Besides, others may not fare better! Come to think of it, a Christian is one who is like Christ, and one who is like Christ cannot continue to fornicate. Hence, anyone who fornicates is either non of Christ or has fallen to the previous vomit and needs restoration.
The foundation of the Lord standeth sure... the Lord knows those who are His.

Op
Blame the pastors.
They no longer preach against premarital sex.
They talk of money, tithe, offering and prosperity.

They don't expelled unrepentant sinners cos they want to retain their members.

Church leaders dey lash, and on Sunday will come to church acting like they are in spirit.

NO, you shouldn't blame any pastor. Salvation is a personal thing, on the day of judgement the pastor will only answer for himself. You have the Bible and your Conscience for guidance.

Christianity is not the life of individual righteousness but the righteousness of God made available to us through christ! its the life of sufficient grace and mercy. though we should nt live in sin that grace may abound...know what the word of God instructs and abide by it!

The word prohibits fornication, the whole point of this thread.

What is 'spirit filled'?

How does one become spirit filled?

Name me some well known 'spirit filled' people.

Thanks.
Spirit filled is to have the spirit of Christ in you which would in turn make you act Christ-like

To become spirit filled, you'd need to acknowledge Christ, genuinely repent of your sins, totally submit to him and invite him into your life.

This, I can not provide because like I metioned earlier, it's between you and God. Only God knows who is really for him. I can speak only for myself.

Re: Why Do Christians Still Fornicate After Knowing It's A Serious Sin? by achorladey: 4:05pm On Jun 12, 2016
Simple: 1. Christians still live under the influence of Satan the Devil and the Devil has control over the world. 1 John 5:19. In Satan's world illicit sex sells. It's all over the entertainment industry. So Christians need to keep there senses because Satan still look for them to devour and one of the best way today is FORNICATION.

2. After the fall of man, his thoughts is inclined to do bad all the time Genesis 6:5. and Ecclesiastes 8:11. Despite having a clean conscience in faith in christ ransom, imperfect tendencies still surrounds man.

3. Religious leaders and teachers have water-down the truth concerning morality. Explain the solemnization of couples with the wife heavily pregnant. Cohabitation all over the place. 1 Corinthians 10:8,11-13.

GENUINE VICTORY OVER IMMORALITY :
"You have heard how it was said, you shall not commit adultery. But I say this to you, if a man looks at a woman lustfully, He has already committed adultery with her in his heart" (Matt. 5:27-28)
It's only a man or woman who is ready and willing to conquer his/her mind that can achieve True Purity on this world however whether you believe it or not; you can achieve True Purity on this earth in fact so many people are living by this Grace in our world currently not minding the over-hyping of immorality in our world NOW. You can also live this glorious virtue in your soul and you will never be the same in life. This is something the Holy Spirit poured into my heart; the only TRUE VICTORY over the MIND is to fill our minds with THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT by spending quality time at least 1-hr every day listening to UNDILUTED MESSAGES ON JESUS CHRIST AND THE HOLY SPIRIT. When a man's heart is occupied with the Holy Presence and Spirit of God habits of sin becomes a thing of the past "No one who is a child of God sins because God's seed remains in him Nor can he sin, because he is a child of God" (1Jn.3:9) To become a genuine and sincere believer in Jesus Christ, you must make a conscious deliberate commitment to be filled with the Holy Presence and Spirit of God at every passing second!!! "If you are of the Spirit let the Spirit be the RULE of your life"(Gal. 5:25)

vinceton:
the reason why pastors are not to be exonorated is that they too know what's in the Bible regarding formication , but they refuse to preach it for fear of loosing members. Its like leaving substance and pursuing shadow. They chose to tell people what they want to hear. Remember God said in the scriptures they in d last days false prophets will arise . if we ignore their mistakes then ,we shall be punished with them.
Then I was right when I inferred earlier that the Bible is there for everyone...thank God for that. Since the Bible already made it clear that fake pastors will arise in the end of days, why would you see the end time trait in a pastor and not take to your heels? It's not like you are being tied down there.

I didn't exonerate them, neither did I pronounce them guilty. I just made it clear that we'd all account for our deeds and the amazing part is no one would have any excuse. If your pastor ain't saying it and it's in the Bible you have no excuse and if he's saying it and it ain't in the Bible, you have no excuse

About correcting them, Becareful enough not to invite the wrath of God upon yourself.

Finally, Let not your pastor be your God or standard. The Bible is sufficient for you an i

This is why I keep asking people that if God is to judge us according to his standards for real, will anyone make heaven?

Remember, sexual immorality is not limited to sexual act alone, staring lustfully at someone amounts to sexual immorality.

However, it's time we stopped blaming pastors for not preaching this or that. The Bible is there and it's written in English. We can always refer to the Bible because in the end, it's not between you and your pastor, it's between you and God.
I keep asking this too
