After Sinful Sex, What Next?

It's usually regret that follows, hence this is a question we must ask ourselves beforehand, when the urge to commit sexual sins, becomes as though if we don't commit it, our whole world would crash.

After we finally get sinful sex we so desperately craved, what next?

Would it be worth it?

Would the hype or craving prior to it meet up with the feeling thereafter?

This is one of the major reasons behind domestic violence. Some think that once they got that thing that eluded them, their whole problems in life would be solved. So they sometimes pay heaven and earth just to get it, only to end up bitterly disappointed afterwards, and their eyes become open as that thing they direly crave wasn't truly what it appeared to be.

That's how Adam and Eve got us to this miserable point. Of all the fruits in the garden of Eden which God had given freedom to eat, it was the one which God commanded them not to touch that they thought they couldn't survive without.

But guess what? They finally tasted of that fruit they desperately desired, but after that, what next?

Regrets, regrets, and more regrets as their eyes became open to realize the craving wasn't worth it.

The woman who thought it would solve her problems, was now filled with regret knowing she had been deceived by the lying serpent. Genesis 3:13

The man who was so proud of the woman after God gave her to him, that he called her "the bone of my bones" and "flesh of my flesh" now saw her as the enemy and a stranger, calling her "the woman you gave me." Genesis 2:23, 3:12.

Although the sin Adam and Eve committed wasn't a sexual sin, it was from that one sin that all other sins emerged including sexual lust.

So was it worth the fruit?

All the consequences, the sufferings, the regrets, the pain, the poverty, the enmity, the complications, the famines, the disasters, the diseases, the deaths?

The next time we find ourselves in a situation where it appears as though we cannot survive without committing a sexual sin, let's ask ourselves the question, after we've done that, what next?

Although yours may not have the kind of widespread impact the sin of Adam and Eve had on humanity, there are certainly damning consequences for any sexual sins committed, because it gives the devil license to cause you harm.

May we not give the enemy another reason to use us as his plaything. Amen!

God bless.

There's nothing sinful in consensual sex

There's nothing sinful in consensual sex

Yeah! That's what the society and world says, but this is the NL religious section remember, hence the rules are different here.

Hmmm

Sex, the biggest fail of many modern day Christians.

From the top to the bottom, most Christians want to fornicate without strings attached. Even pastors and the married aren't exempt.

Sexual purity is something of a fantasy nowadays.

But what is the benefit? The sexually pure remain unmarried for years, or permanently single, or barren, or tied to devils when they finally do get married. While there's a reward the sexually impure which is the opposite of that, and smooth sailing in life. Afterwards, their sins will be forgiven. So what is the point?

There's little motivation for purity.

Hi Bratislava. I trust you're doing great.

One of the things that has benefited me immensely in my walk with God, is not hinge my relationship with Him on any thing else but on Him and what He does or says.

That's why I'm not moved by what people were doing or saying but God, because allowing men's actions to determine my faith, whether they truly be men of God or not, is like building a house on an unsure foundation which could crash at any moment since men were not infallible.

I feel immense pity for the sheep who have to rely on the kind of leaders we have these days in the church, because they've hardly been exemplary, and these has caused many sheep to go astray.

However I don't think it's always warranted, because why must one allow such ones to determine their standing with God or their obedience of His Word?

I know the leaders ought to be better examples themselves, however i believe it's not the wisest thing to let such ones determine one's spiritual life.

I have tasted and I'm fully convinced that whenever anyone walked in obedience to God's Word, such as being sexually pure, that person would surely not lose his reward for God always remembers and rewards those who keep His Word.

Thanks and God bless.

I am. How do you do?

Thanks for the response.

There are wolves in sheep clothing, quite alright. I guess the whole thing, the main point, as you have strongly pointed out, is to trust in God above all things and that will carry one through. It's not the easiest thing in the world, though.

Too many Christians and up living unfulfilled lives and their only reward is in death. These are some of the mysteries that I don't understand, but questioning the way of things is not the solution. Sometimes.

Thanks.

Nice to know you're fine. I'm also fine, Thanks.

You're right saying that it's not easy, because saying the otherwise would be false. It's not easy at all but one thing I've learnt is that God is able to see His own through even the most impossible things.

That's why it's important to become His own, and for that to happen it's absolutely crucial that the person is committed to His ways and doing what He instructs.

And who says believers hardly get rewarded on Earth but only after death?

Although the ways of God differs from the way of the world, so to compare the lives of those who walk with God with those of the world using worldly criteria like riches may not be appropriate, the Truth is that there are many examples of the godly who God exalted above the worldly even when worldly criteria applied. There is the instance of Job, Abraham, David, Solomon (although he later lost his way), and several others.

Aside this, there's the spiritual angle of works which the worldly could only dream about which was exhibited by the likes of Moses, Elijah, Elisha, and the apostles.

Moreover the definition of fulfilment is subject to one's orientation, hence one could be fulfilled despite being married and yet childless, or being unmarried and living lowly lives as some of the apostles, who wouldn't trade their lives for those of anyone else even the Bill Gates or Dangotes of this world, because they believed they had and achieved much more than such ones according to their own orientation which was shaped by Christ's teachings, who Himself felt fulfilled by His death on the cross.

So it's all about the orientation, for those of the world would see things much differently. That's why those of God ought to have and use the orientation of the Kingdom of God not that of this world to measure themselves, otherwise they are bound to miss the mark.

Moreover a lot of Christians are to blame for some difficulties they experience, because not all is of God. They could be as a result of going contrary to the plan of God for their lives, but anyone that is of God, is for their own good, because God knows what best for them, and although they may not understand it earlier, but when the results begin to unfold, they'd get to realize why and appreciate the process.

That's speaking from experience.

God bless.

I think Leviticus 18 has all the sexual prohibition..

As long as you keep them especially another man's wife and incest...

You are good.

Sex is natural and pleasurable. To abstain from it is against nature...

What you are saying is that people already break many many Laws, and Disobey, therefore they continue in their Disobedience.

Which is further implemented Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Ecclesiastics 8:11

BRATISLAVA:
.... It's not the easiest thing in the world,

It is easy, if only people will take the time to deeply look at God's Laws, His Testimonies and Sayings and JUDGEMENTS!

if only people would examine them.

If you do not follow the instructions of your manual, your device will not work properly.

So it is with The Word of God. If not properly and rightly executed, no one shall obtain its guaranteed promises and results.

God told you in Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20 that you are not included as part of the agreement with the Levites and those who have the blood of Jacob flowing through their veins. So what do you hope to accomplish by trying to circumvent God's own decree?

Jesus Christ is instead the New Covenant agrement God has made open to you and others who want to come to Him and in Jesus Christ God has set for you a New standard. He instructed you that it is not the act that is sin but the lust in your heart that He counts as sin. God indicts you for sin, not when you commit sexual sin but when you think in your heart to do it - lust.

What that means is that even if you never get to committing the sexual sin itself, if you never even get to sleep with that girl, the fact that you even considered it in your heart already leaves you condemned in the sight of God for it.

You will always be in support of evil things. If consensual sex does not affect us, then why do people cry "LovePeddler, Hoe, Slut, Bitch, Ashawo, homo, Olosho, Brolosho , "these hoes ain't loyal, men are dogs" etc as romance, family and crime section have proven?

Again...God gave that very particular rule only to those of the blood of Jacob, meaning that for those who were excluded by God from that agreement, even if they worshipped 1000 idols and idolets, there would never be a penalty against them for such. Basically, all those who were excluded remain condemned as Adam was regardless of conduct.

Just trying to point out the futility in your living according to that which God Himself removed you from. And we know God does not change His mind, right?

Hahahaha...

So you choose to worship an idol. Because God did not include none jews in his covenant. And you saying God will forgive you. So you saying it is one set of laws for the jews and another set for the rest of man kind.
So the traditionalist and Muslims still have hope.

You no get sense at all...Kai. how you take pass primary 6?

This isn't even aboy my choice at all... the topic here is still the futility in the attempts of a Gentile at latching himself to a Law that his kind were directly excluded from benefitting from, this by the Law giver Himself.

God Himself created that Law specifically for the Jews and unless you think God a fool, you would understand and accept that Truth of God's - my say means nothing in this.

God gave his laws to all of humanity..
You only know the version written by the jews. The igbos have it, The yorubas have it too, The Indians have it..all of humanity Different stories same law...it is just the stories that is different the messages in the story are consistent...
Same God different nomenclature...the jews calls him Hashem, the yorubas calls him Eledumare, the binis calls him osanobua, the babylonians called him Marduk., the igbos calls him chukwu...same creator of the universe different names in different cultures.
There was never any need for jesus. To God or to man. God already gave humans solutions to the problem of sin. Animal sacrifice..never a human. (Female goat less than a year old. Without blemish) which is to follow a sincere repentance of sin....

No believing in the death of an idol. No worship of a dead jew that never existed, no pretending to eat the flesh and drink the blood of an idol or a man....these are all pagan practices that the romans inculcated in their pagan scriptures( new testament).

But you will not understand, or accept it because you have invested your whole life and resources on it...
I really dont know how to educate you.

God made this particular Law for those who are of the Blood of Jacob, not all of humanity as you claim- Deuteronomy 30 vs 15 - 20. No other people on this planet can boast of having the same set of rules given them by God, not even the ibos can dare that lie, because anyone who has even studied the particular of this Law will admit to it being tailor made for the Jews(those of the blood of Jacob) and only the Jews.

As for Igbo Omenani, and Yoruba Ifa, you have to be more specific on what exactly I should be looking for. From what I know the belief various from community to community so, let's be more specific here shall we.
Pull up religious text so we can examine whatever laws you claim are followed in these beliefs against those of the Old Covenant Law in the bible.
