Greetings in the name of my Master, Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Sex has become an idol to most of us in the world today. Too many people worship sex. They can’t get enough of it. It’s sex in the morning, noon and night. Slow down my people.
When God created man and woman it was never designed to be like that. Many people go to the extreme for sex. It is unbelievable to know and think of the things most people will do for sex. Some rape, steal and exploit.
God gave sex to man as a gift, not to become a slave to it. First, sex is for married couples, not for the single man or woman. Sex out of marriage is a sin. Young boys and girls should never have sex until they are married. Most are doing it, but it’s wrong. Why do you want to have sex at an early age, end up with a sexual transmitted disease or three kids by the time you are 20 years old with a man who is not going to marry you? And when you find your husband, he wants three more kids (that’s six); then your first kids don’t respect him because he is not their father.
Adam and Eve were married before they had sex. GENESIS 6, verse 2: “That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair (pretty) and they took them wives of all which they chose.”
The word is wives, not girlfriend, boyfriend, common-law wife, sweetheart, sugar daddy, etc. All those who are not married should leave sex for the married, or get married. The word of God said that.
God bless.
What Pastor Rawls Pacquette fails to consider is that if ‘his’ God created Adam and Eve as the first two persons on the planet, then who did the children of Adam and Eve marry and who did they have sex with as there were no other people around? If Adam and Eve’s children did not marry each other, then they committed a sin. If Adam and Eve’s children had sex with each other, then that is a sin. If Adam and Eve’s children had sex with Adam and/or Eve then that is incest, and a sin.
If Pastor Rawls Pacquette is going to perpetuate the fables of these stories, then he should at least take the time to create a plausible explanation(s) to the questions which will arise from such absurdities.
As to Pastor Rawls Pacquette’s comment ‘Why do you want to have sex at an early age, end up with a sexual transmitted disease ‘, it should be noted that marriage does not prevent the spread of STDs as marriage is a piece of paper, not a vial of penicillin. Perhaps the Pastor should stick to commenting on issues in which he is fully versed, but for the life of me, I am unsure as to what exactly that would be.
Pastor good to know that you are still around
Yeah I am studying in Jamaica at the moment and I can see You guys have a major problem here. The Young ladies seem to think that child bearing is going out of style and loads of men are fatherless and doing the same thing to the children. I think you should listen to the Pastor.
Dominican Studying in Jamaica
Pastor cool out, have a little more sex, get a female to give u some good oral and blow ur brains out. Pastor most marriages are miserable and unhappy as such that is where u find the poorest sex….lol…..This is such a beautiful gift enjoy more of it (not boring married sex) and your opinion will change……
Wishing you good sex from Jamaica…
You are one vile creature.
I can tell you have a messed up life even if it is not obvious to all who know you.
Your inner circle of friends would not include many people of high rank because they would not want to be in your company.
However Ja.freethinkers, it does not have to be this way. You talk like somebody who has not had the best start in life. God loved you enough to send His Son to die to pay the penalty for your sins by shedding His precious blood. If you will believe this and receive Jesus Christ as your Saviour He make you a new person from the inside out.
Please get a Bible and read the following verses:
Romans 3:23
Romans 5:6-8
Romans 10:9
St. John 1:11,12
1 John 1:7
2 Corinthians 5:17.

Finishing my post to individual with identity of Gary
Key accidentally submitted my comment before I was ready.
So now that you have told me that you are not a creature, you have left me baffled. Since the term “person, man, woman, and human being” all come under the category of the term: CREATURE, and you decline to be none of the above, as you say: “I AM NOT A CREATURE” then who or what are you? And why do you think that it matters to me what is in your mind, that is, if you have one of those.
Also you have declared your actual level of intelligence when you said: I AM NOT A CREATURE! Perhaps that will make you think twice before you post your next comment against me. Maybe you will remember that I am convinced that you do not know what you are talking about.
But if you think that you are hurting me, as you try to discredit my Life in Jesus Christ to the public view, you are wasting your breath. But it makes you feel good to do so, don’t it?. Who do you think is influencing you to provoke me that you will find reasons to condemn my character and my faith? Believe me, I am well aware of what you are doing, but does that make you a better person than I am?.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees did the same thing to Jesus, as Satan guided them; the way he is doing through you in his stance against me. They also thought that they were better than Jesus too. But Jesus had the power to ignore their provocation. Unfortunately for me I still have the weakness of the flesh in me, for I am not the perfect human being that Jesus was.
When the provocaters realized they could hold nothing against Jesus, they accused Him of doing His work by the power of beelzebub. But then if you do not know that you are part of the creatures of the world, you probably do not know what is beelzebub either.
Unfortunately you do not agree with anything i say, so I wouldn’t dare attempt to satisfy your hunger for knowledge of your existence. But that is your greatest problem, even if pride and haughtiness force you to believe that you are tallest structure in the world..
To the individual with the identity of Gary
The term CREATURE refers to both man and beast: but I will list some of the exact referrals to you taken from my thesaurus of my Microsoft Office Word 2007. Here they are:
CREATURE—–meaning: person, man, woman, human being, individual
CREATURE—- meaning: animal, beast, insect
That is my problem with you. Even since I came on DNO you have attacked every comment I have posted with a negative attitude. I noticed that you stopped for a while, until i revealed my previous identity in a previous article, specifically to the person named Watcher. That person and I are your greatest enemies on DNO, but you do not agree with anyone.
That was the reason I addressed you as Person or Creature. But my term CREATURE there, meant that I can only think of you as an INDIVIDUAL, because it is difficult for me to perceive your character, base on the nature of the comments you post on DNO
I used the term CREATURE, meaning INDIVIDUAL because I perceived an ECCENTRIC–meaning peculiar, strange, and weird mentality in you. But now you tell me that you are not a CREATURE,
I will say it again:
1. If you are a Christian or believe in some holy book that that says sex before marriage is a sin then it is a sin
2. If you an atheist and don’t believe in the bible then sex is NOT a sin.
3. Whether you are a christian or not, a LOT of sex cannot be an idol. If you love it as I do, then you are a DOWASCO employee because you are laying some serious pipe.
So pastor, preach all you want but unless you can clarify you position on what is too much sex and how can sex be an idol just shut up. Ge with the program the and and start laying pipe before you loose out.
@Lizavier4Jesus:
Just to let you know I’m not a creature. Where has you Christian values gone, the nice things you always talk about and preach, i guess now you’re showing your other side of who you really are calling another person a creature.
@But…:
Well said, what a great contribution you have made on the topic.
@Watcher: Alas, the issue remains. You consistently refer to the Bible and what it says to back up your claims. I on the other hand, dispute the Bible and its validity as a record of God’s word, so on that basis there is no level playing ground for us.
But for the record, sex did not cause STDs, unwanted pregnancies, etc. Humans beings with poor judgment caused the spread of STDs and the increase in unwanted pregnanices. Those humans included religious AND non-religious people.
The Bible and some of its teachings create a moral hazard in that people think that they can get away with sinning if they just repent and get God’s forgiveness. So where is the incentive to just DO GOOD??!!
Well then there is the promise of life forever after. So then you have people who may do good, but only because they long for the afterlife in God’s presence or because they may be afraid of the alternative. This is similar to a young boy studying only because mom promised him a $10 for every A he gets. In the end that child ends up doing well not because he sees the value in learning and education, but because he wants that $10. As a thinking adult, is that good enough for you?! Well it isn’t good enough for me.
I will be a good person because I feel better when the people around me are better off… not because I wanna get into heaven. I will donate to charity because as a society we are only as good as the poorest in our society. So to each his own.
Peace.
@Uncle: You see, this is where the separation is: the Bible says sex before marriage is wrong and many people take this as an absolute rule. Literal or not makes no difference in this case. Others disagree and I guess there is no way for one side to convince the other, because the belief is based on one’s faith in the Bible’s validity (or invalidity).
Do remember, that David was one of God’s chosen ones and he had concubines by the hundreds. I say this not to condone promiscuity, but to dissuade some of you from vilifying people who have pre-marital sex.
In the end, we all chose to believe what suits us, so to each his/her own. But for those Christians out there (those who are Christians in name only, but rarely in action)… one of the Bible’s greatest lessons as portrayed by Jesus’ life, is Tolerance. At the very least, even casual readers of the Bible should by able to get that from its verses.
Peace.
@Josh: So, “thou shalt not murder” and this gives you ample evidence to take as literal everything else in the Bible? No… I get your point.
this is so true, sex before marriage is a SIN!!!. whether u agree with it or not. Amen! 2 that pastor, but i have 2 admit it is pretty hard!! U have 2 pray that u don’t everyday!! and u have 2 be extra careful!! Oh lord, father forgive these Dominicans, for they do not know what they are saying. And bless them, oh father do bless them.
To the person or creature with the identity of GARY
I have there words for you. AWAY WITH YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!
@But…: Okay, but based on the pastor’s article, The bible’s stance on pre-marital sex isn’t literal?
Hmm, so you’re telling me there’s:
Figurative
Emotional
Mental
Psychological
etc… ways to fornicate?
@But…: Right… Thou shall not commit murder… Figuratively. Ah yes, I see your point.
Where do i begin to shine the light upon the deaf, dumb and blind who uses this one book called the bible to guide them through life. It’s like doing research with one source. Mr. Preacher man please point your little mouse arrow to this web address:
http://app.bishop-accountability.org/priestdb/PriestDBbylastName-S.html
@My2Sense: Read Revelation 21. Because sex is such a sweet thing yes we try to justify what we know is not correct. The Heavenly father has asked that every man should have his wife in order to prevent fornication. The marriage bed is undefiled. Yes we are all sinners but we must ry to live within his commandments. The Enemy is very subtle and uses everything that our Heavenly Father created and makes it seem like it is clean. For example revelry and dancing. yes we can dance but dance to glorify and praise our Father. Yes we can have sex and lots of it but we must be married. Look what sex is doing – std’s, unwanted pregnancy. Sex for one night stands, sex because I like your body. Calling young women sexy even if one is not familiar with the young lady. What has happenned to the other beautiful adjectives?? Satisfying lust and feelings of the flesh in one’s mind by picturing how it would be with a man or woman in bed. Lust.. The bible states that if a man looks at a woman and thinks along those lines, he has already commited a sin. So if just mere thinking, can you imagine having the actual act and not being married to her or even contemplating being married to her. Just to satisfy the spur of the moment feeling and exhaling and feeling good for a few seconds.
So let us not heed the teachings and do as though we own the world and can have sex with who we want and how we want at any time we want. Young Ladies and Young men remember your bodies do not belong to you but the Father and it should be a temple of the Holy Spirit. Let your sexual urges be used with your husband and wife.
Do not hit at the pastor because he is speaking and spreading the good news. Mind you he is human and we are all sinners and we must acknowledge that and develop relationship with the father who is the only one who can strengthen us and make us strong.
@Lizavier4Jesus:
I just do not understand you religious people, Why do you think you have a patterned to God. and just quoting your bible to prove things. If you don’t want to have sex before your’re married based on your religious beliefs that is fine,you have a right to what you want to believe but to tell other people that if they don’t follow you they are doing something immoral and not what God wants, that is ridiculous and absurd nonsensical. Keep your beliefs for your self. You made some statements quote “If sex was a blessing from God, why would He manifest that blessing in the flesh, whereas He manifest all His other blessings by faith and in the spiritual being of mankind beginning with his conscience” that is just gibberish nonsense, there are so many statements like this. I do not know where the thinking cap went, but anyways that is what religion is all about robing the the Human being from using his gift of thinking.
In closing, one of you comments you said quote ” Woe be unto those so-called Christians who believe they can continue with their devour of sexual activities, and God is accepting them, just because they are married.” Why are you so judgmental to your other Christian brothers / sisters. what makes you think you have the answer and the truth to pass judgment on other people. The certainty with which a religious belief is held is usually in direct proportion to its absurdity. Thanks God that the Bible cannot possibly be the word of God.
@Josh: Regarding the birth of Christ, who was informed, Mary or Joseph? Matthew and Luke disagree (see Matthew 1:20 and Luke 1:28)
Is God a forgiving God? The books Exekiel and Exodus disagree (see Ezekiel 18:20 and Exodus 20:5)
Did Jesus allow His disciples to carry staffs? Mark and Luke disagree (see Mark 6:8 and Luke 9:3)
These are just a few simple examples. But if you read further you will find a few more significant examples such as the first visitors to Jesus’ tomb after the His death or whether or not the stone covering the tomb was rolled away, etc.
My point is the Bible is an anthology by contributed by different men at different times, all trying to give an account of their experience regarding either God’s word or Jesus’ work. So choose carefully what you believe and see the scriptures for what they really are; examples to learn from NOT words to be taken literally, especially in this day and age.
@Jayne: In my opinion there’s a difference between someone falling off the wagon (making mistakes, we all do it) and someone continually doing something they know they shouldn’t do.
@But…: Ok, please supply some examples.
@Kanpeche: And here I was waiting to read something in your comment that actually makes sense in agreement or disagreement of the article, instead all you did was throw a rock in the air. So you disagree with the article because the pastor is a religious fanatic throwing around words of the bible that suits him. Do you know this pastor? Sounds like you do if you accuse him of something like that. If not, then you are without a doubt passing a pretty big plate of judgement, unrighteous judgement if I may add. There’s no need to call ppl names on an article, especially ppl you don’t know.
It is amazing that people living in the twenty first century have not realized that christianity is but one of many religions. Every religions has its own rules, regulations, and beliefs. The Christians say one thing, the budhist another. The Hindu says take a right, the Muslin says take a left. However, true religion says one thing: respect each man’s belief and don’t cast judgement. Every organized religion says that their teachings and scriptures are the way the go. You guys are just a bunch of fanatics trying to muscle your way to the front of the line, and then impose your teachings on others. The funny thing is, it is possible that you will get to the front of the line, and there will be a complete void.
Sadly, there was nothing new in this article. But the conversation that has ensued is definitely one to note.
Those who are ‘for’ this article all quote some form of scripture to justify their claims and qualify their own beliefs. But my question is this; how valid is the Bible as a source? I’m a firm believer in the idea that the Bible was written by men who claim to have been ‘inspired’ by God and who say that they were instructed to put pen to paper in order to record things occurring at that time.
So think about this; what would you think if tomorrow a few men sat down and penned their ‘inspired’ words and then claimed that it was the work of God? How would those men be received? (think the Mormons; Church of Latter Day Saints, etc). I assert that those men would be considered crazy and their sect would be ostracized by most.
That said, why do we consider sacred and Holy the words written in the Bible? Some people take the stories and scriptures literally even though the Bible contradicts itself endlessly. Some people believe that the words of the Bible can be used as law even…!
I think that the words of the Bible can be used as anecdotes of life in a different time. From these accounts, we can learn valuable lessons if we take note of the real point behind the stories.
There are countless things written in the Bible that Christians do not follow on a daily basis. So why cling to the idea of pre-marital sex as a sin? Why pick and choose what God sees as a sin today?
People and their way of thinking have evolved over the 1000’s of years since the Bible was written. So is it really unreasonable for a man/woman to want to experience sex before committing to one person for the remainder of their life?? I think it is prudent for a serious young person to want to know what he/she likes and dislikes before a lofty commitment such as marriage.
I do agree that one should not idolize sex; that sort of obsession or addiction is unhealthy and can only cause one to be a slave to that idol. The same goes for food, alcohol, TV, or any other activity or material good one can consume.
My2Sense
@JOKER: Not that I agree with Lizavier4jesus, but the Bible has contradictory statements throughout its scriptures. So why call him/her on their writing in that way?
I am sitting here waiting for a conference to begin, and I am bored. Therefore, here is what I think of this article: You holier-than-thou religious zealots always amuse me with your bible thumping, preacher jumping surmons. You fanatics throw the words of the bible around when it is convenient for you to do so; and ride around on your sacred clouds thinking that your soul is purer that someone else’s. You people make me laugh. The artiticle is rubbish. Those screaming the loudest are the ones who normally fracture the rules of the game. Jokers!!!
@Makie: You are so right about doing what the Lord says but are you saying you ALWAYS do what the Lord says?…that you’ve never fall off the wagon? I do compliment all those who are waiting until they are married before having sex but isn’t every sin the same in the eyes of God? I pray every chance I get and God knows I have my moments but on like you I’m not going to act like I always do as he says. We all have our flaws and asking for forgiveness from our Good Lord is a step in the right direction. Giving someone two thumbs don’t always mean the person is right; it just mean you agree with some of what the person says.
@Lizavier4Jesus: Are you saying sex out of marriage is right,what kind of Christian are you,sex out of marriage is a sin.sex is a gift,some people have sex just for fun,not to have kids.1 CORINTHIANS:7 vs,28-But and if thou marry,thou hast not sinned;and if a virgin marry,she has not sinned.a virgin is one who has never had sex.you are writing one thing and saying something else.you can’t have it both ways.anyone who is a true Christian must condemn sex before marriage,because it’s a sin. go with God.
@VIRGO: While I agree that sex is for people who commit themselves to each other in marriage, but by suggesting that Sunday is the Sabbath it is you who are disrespecting the Lord’s Sabbath. Please go back and read your Bible If you are a Bible believing Christian. Where in the Bible is it written that Sunday is Sabbath? Some of you including the Pastor, who focus on premarital sex as a sin are at the same time disobeying God and breaking his true Sabbath. Is premarital sex any bigger a sin than profaning the Lord’s Sabbath?.
I have already written a long comment pertaining to this article, but I need to extend my concern pertaining to the teachings of men and women who proclaim to be messengers of God, not understanding a word that God speaks to them, as they use human wisdom and philosophy to further confuse those of us who are diligently searching for the Truth of Life.
Personally, I do not disagree with Pastor Rawls message, advising people to exercise self-control throughout their attitude and conducts pertaining to sexual activity. If overeating is a sin called glutton, how much more for our devouring conducts of sex on a daily basis. It is also true that people tend to idolized all sorts of things in life, sexual activity is not any exception.
But what disturbs me in the pastors message is that, like most of his counterparts, he failed to use the wisdom of God Holy Spirit to present this message pertaining to sexual activities in the lives of human beings. I am saying that this pastor has sent a message about sexual conducts as he condones to it in his own life.
The statements of the pastor which bother me most is in his saying that: God give sex to man as a gift, which follows with, sex is for married couple, not single people. Regardless of if that man is married, or is single and living a celibate life, that statement is bias and discriminating against the the unmarried of the human race. It is not the teaching of God’s Holy Spirit.
The fundamental gift from God to mankind is Life, and if God allows for man to receive every other gift, regardless of who they are, why would He discriminate with a certain set of mankind with the gift of sex, if that is what people believe the ability to have sex is? But not me anyway, God has taught me enough to know better than that.
Why do men believe that sex is a gift from God, when the terms, sin, immorality, and lust is mentioned everywhere in the Bible whenever it talks about sexual conducts. Here is one for example: “For all that is in the world–the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life–is not of the Father, but is of the world”. 1st. John 2:16
So why do men believe that sex is a gift from God? Most of them use the statement of God at Genesis, where He says: “Be fruitful and multiply”. Genesis 1: 22.
But God had not even formed the physical body of Adam as yet when He said that; for He was talking to the lower creatures.
And what is that statement about Adam and Eve being married before they had sex? So why did the pregnancy happened only after they were out of the Garden of Eden? It seems to me that sex was a part of the curse–a sinful and fleshly desire–that continued to bring the rest of us to this world with the nature of sin, the reason Jesus tells us that we must be born again! For Adam and Eve were sent out of from the Garden of Eden with a lot of curses from God. The biggest one is “dust you are and to dust you shall return” With our sex partners of course!
Pastor Rawls used Genesis 6: 2 to prove that his idea was true as he referred to sex being for married people only, saying that “The Sons of God saw that the women of the earth were beautiful and they took them as wives for themselves as it suited them”. But did the Bible say that there was a long line of men on the side of the groom and the same line of women on the side of bride like what human beings calls marriage in this world? Not at all.
The Sons of God took the beautiful women as wives, mean that they had sexual relationship with those women, so the particular women became the particular Sons of God’s wives. And this example of men having wives is mentioned everywhere in the Old Testament. Here is another one: “Then Isaac brought her into his mother, Sarah’s tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife”. Genesis 24: 67
That encounter was the first time Isaac and Rebekah had seen each other. But their parents had chosen them for each other; and marriage to those people meant that they have sex with each other. God has never changed that rule. That is the reason in Canada, for example, people are accepted as common law husband and wife, if they did not take marital vows in public and with human witnesses.
Sex between two people becomes nasty, and the Bible calls it fornication because those two people live in different homes, but they come together to have sex; which is what most single people do. Hence they have two or three partners at the same time.
Unfortunately Pastor Rawls did not tells us that these acts of the Sons of God was also an abomination in His sight, even if the Bible said they took those women as their wives. Because their actions were still sinful and rebellious as the were angels of God.
Can anyone imagine a gift of God that is only for married people, and yet the performance of that gift grieves God. What is Pastor Rawls and the rest like him talking about?
Right after the Sons of God committed those acts of abomination in the face of God, He said: “My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for He is indeed flesh.” Genesis 6:3.
Genesis 7 describes the effect of a flood that came and took away all of those in the days of Noah, who were getting married and being given in marriage. Sex is a gift of God, which is only for married people, says Pastor Rawls.
But I know that God gives people gifts that they might glorify His Love and magnify His name. Did God sound as if His Love was glorified and His name magnified through the conducts of the Son’s of God and their wives at Genesis 6: 2, based on His statement: “My Spirit will not strive with man for he is indeed flesh”?
People of my homeland, Dominica, I would not be surprised if a survey would tell me that less than 25% of everyone in Dominica read and study God’s Word in the Bible. Because that is the problem of the whole world. That is the reason the world is so full of corruption, confusion, and dissatisfaction. People are dislocated, not knowing where they belong in life, because they have no divine control and guidance, which has to be evidence of Life in them.
We are feeding on our existence of the flesh as Satan started to do this work in the Garden of Eden. For we have no hunger for Life in Spirit and Truth, which is the food of God, by faith in His Son Jesus Christ.
The worst part is that we allow all of those self-righteous human beings and false teachers to tell us what is right and wrong as long as those situation matches their own lifestyles. And yet it does not have to be so.
God desires that we die to the flesh that we might be raised to live the Life of Love in Jesus Christ. We never have man teaching those things to us because they cannot understand it themselves. We must allow God to teach us through our personal choice. God has made that promise to us. Jeremiah 31: 31-34
God said that His Spirit cannot abide with man, for man relies on the control of the flesh. But the things of the flesh is vanity and futility which will eventually pass away. So is the conducts of sex regardless if people are doing in the marriage rules of present man or that of long-time man.
Human beings need to learn about the difference between their natural existence, which is mortality and their spiritual existence which is immortality and comes through their spiritual rebirth. But we have no one to teach us, unless we decide to turn to God’s Holy Spirit by faith, in Jesus Christ.
God kept His promise of Jeremiah on the Day of Pentecost, a few weeks after Jesus had ascended into heaven. It is a promise for all those whom God has chosen for Himself.
Pastor, when I read your second paragraph,I do not know if you are referring to married or unmarried .couples. But if you are talking about married couples having too much sex, well I believe your ting la la out already. There is no way a man can have too much sex.. he’s not a ram goat. Both couples have to be in consent. Sometimes the wife might say she is tired today due to a rough day at work or something. But if she says, hussy I’ll pass someting on me, is pass it . Morning, noon and night.
Don’t forget Pas, the wife always get at least 2 weeks break each month. God design it that way for us. So there’s nothing call too much sex and used as an idol.
I agreed with you, as God has design sex only for married people.
talk talk talk.even the one most of us worship today were born in a way we would consider sinful if we were living in this time.So the ones who cannot afford to get married should stay hungry.bullcrap.
@Karkabeff, at least you can take a timeout, even on a Sunday, come on you should respect the sabbath. Go to church, have fun with the family and friends, how many times will satisfy you.hope you are also married.
Never buy a car before you give it a test drive.never buy a house which is not in good shape.you can always fix a car and house anyway but you cannot test you patner after you hang yourself.total bullshit.young people must explore before running into marriage.lovers don’t need to marry to have sex.bible say what?How can it be forbiden if is love.
Does the teachings of the bible apply to any one these days? People pick and choice what they want from the bible… But be warned people the bible is the word of the Lord adhere to its words. Like they say ” who dont hear will feel”!!!!~!!!
@prissy: Hypocrites! All you hypocrites, you gonna spell it right someday!
once someone says something going against you all actions…ALU VEX…! TAKE FOOD FOR THOUGHT..IS THE SAME ONES THAT DIEING WITH AIDS SAYING ”IF I KNEW” THE SAME ONES WHO HAVE 8 CHILDREN AND EACH ONE HAVE A DIFFERENT FATHER…AND ALU ALWAYS CHECKING PEOPLE WHO CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS AND LIVING WILD LIFE…GIVE A CHECK ON THOSE WHO LIVING FOR GOD AND GOD BLESSING THEM!
Going by your words pastor, who married Adam and Eve and these sons of men that took these pretty ladies to be their wives? I’m assuming you’re gonna tell me that it’s God who married them since Adam and Eve were the first people, well if that’s the case, if I’m with my woman and we both decided we’re married in the eyes of God, who is to tell us we’re not married and committing a sin.
U see pastor marriage is an institution created by man not God and if you’re gonna tell me it’s written in the bible, then remember, the bible was written by men (inspired by God you say), then who was the people who said that these men were inspired by God? It all goes back to circular reasoning.
You’re right about man being a slave to sex, but being in a committed relationship with somebody is no different from marriage (except legally of course, which is the laws of man).
Hypocretes! all of you Hypocretes! you gonna pay the price someday
@CD: I had no idea chocolate was against the bible. No seriously if you comparing these two things, something must be wrong with you. David was a king, and the law at that time permitted him to have as many wives as he (And Solomon) desired. “Stop telling God what to say?” If the bible (god’s word) says something is wrong, then, what’s your point again?
Warma I feel sorry for you, May the blessing of the Lord fall upon you
@WARMA: I have two words for you:
GROW UP.
@Karkabeff: Interestingly enough, if a homosexual commented on this article and said that “He likes his thing often” most of us would be disgusted and completely disagree with his opinion. But hey, fornication doesn’t hold a candle to that, doesn’t it (sarcasm intended). If someone believes that something isn’t wrong, no matter how much proof or evidence you come up with to try to make them see the light, they will continue to back up their “personal” convictions. In Yahweh’s eyes,sin is sin. Time can’t change it, society can’t change it and our personal opinions won’t change it. We have to drop this “If I do it, its not wrong” attitude and read our bibles. NO, REALLY READ THEM. Not just read a part or two to make us feel like we’ll be loved and accepted even if we disobey. The truth hurts, so disagree if u want, just promise me you’ll read your bibles, properly.
Wow, interesting article, I’d like to give props to the Pastor for going “against the grain” and speaking about this issue. Firstly i’d like to say that i’m a 25 year old male who abstains because I believe that sex is for married couples. I’ve spoken about this many times to people who inquire of my abstinence (and many who disbelieve simply because they can’t wrap their heads around someone who abstains from sex).
I don’t mean to be blunt, but some of the comments here based on the article are either ignorant, hypocritical, or just immature all together. Many comments here actually prove the pastors point: Sex is idolized by world culture. Maybe he should’ve included that married couples can also idolize sex (some couples unfortunately divorce over sex-related issues) but the bulk of his article is addressed to the fact that sex is idolized by people who shouldn’t be having sex.
Some ridiculous (and amusing) responses have been made in comments (try it before you buy it, do you really believe this nonsense?) to the article and it is unfortunate that we are THIS confused about the bible.We even speak like the pastor is just balls out crazy and has no idea what the bible says. Fornication is wrong, at least be honest about it Dominica. Its not his word or mine, but the bible that says so.
It’s interesting to see that we are against sins like homosexuality and adultery so boldly, but we defend fornication so plainly. I’m sorry as some ppl may be offended by this comparison, but the truth offends and the guilty are easily offended. Hypocrisy by anyone (pastor or not) will lead to their demise.
I have 3 words for this pastor – GET A LIFE
this is so true, dominicans plz don’t try to justify your wrong and obey the lord and do what he says, sex is for married people… to the individuals who are abstaining TWO THUMBS UP, to those who are involved STOP IT BECAUSE GOD’S SPIRIT WILL NOT ALWAYS STRIVE WITH MAN. he’s a long suffering God, but he’s also a consuming fire. we need to do what the lord says and he says SEX IS FOR MARRIED PEOPLE.
God made man in his own image and likeness then out of the ribs of man God made woman..that’s what I read in the bible. Now I go to church sometimes and I don’t claim to know the bible as much I as I would love to but sometimes these pastors go over board. If a married couple enjoys sex morning, noon and night does that means they worship sex like an idol? I don’t know about you but I don’t buy no car before I test drive it. I have to know the man can satify me before saying I do or else I’ll look esle where and that won’t be right now would it? I have a few cousins well in there 30s and still virgins because they’re waiting to get married first…I say good luck to them. I’m on the injured list now cause I’m not seeing anyone but if I happend to find someone I care about and he wants to marry me then he has to give up the goods first or else no deal….
MARRIAGE????????????????MAN AND MAN DOING IT.SOON MAN AND DOG,COW,HORSE. SEX TAKES BRAVERY OUT OF A MAN.AFTER SEX WOMEN MAKE THERE DEMANDS WHEN THE MAN IS WEAK.THIS TRICK IS PLAYED ON HUSBANDS TOO. LIKE AFTER SEX,DARLING TODAY WE GOING AND TAKE CARE OF THE WILL AS YOU PROMISE. SEX IS A BUSINESS MARRIED OR NOT.
son’t u know that all high school seniors and some juniors are already in sexual activity and that’s why they don’t respect their teachers and principals
Such confusion… its a sin but its only for married people… but wait even with married people its still corruption??? You people all need some good sex in your lives! You obviously have not had any… Stop trying to tell God what to say. David had all his hundreds of concubines and God loved him. Soon ya’ll will want to ban chocolate like the Catholic church did long ago because it tastes too good… must be a sin…Puhleeze!
Sexual desire is another hunger or craving of the flesh just like the hunger or craving for a large serving of chicken and Lentil stew with rice; or the craving of a nice cold beer on a very hot day. In other words sexual satisfaction is something every human being will want just as every human being will at a certain time want to have money, whether through their work wages, stealing, cheating, or drug trafficking.
I would hate to believe that God will condemn all people who have had sex without some kind of marriage vows and He will allow those people who are married but do not love each other to go free. If all sorts of dogs, cats, and wild animals have the desire for sex, how does God expect human beings to control their desire for sex until they reach a certain age that allows for marriage in their societies.
In some cultures like the culture of Indians, parents arrange for a marriage between their baby daughter and an adult male. So that man can decide to have sexual relationship with that girl as soon as she turns 15 years of age. Does that makes God happy?
Marriage is a vow that is taken before God, between two people who love each other, regardless of if this vow is taken in a public place or in the privacy of those two people with God Holy Spirit as the witness, along with their faith. When God knows what is in people’s heart, it does not matter what human beings think.
Abraham had already fathered Ishmael with Sarah’s maidservant, Haggai, when God chose him as His best friend. Jacob, Abraham’s grandson, had two wives, Rachel and Leigh, who were two sisters, but he had twelve sons, among those sons, were the sons of his wives’ maidservants. But God chose all the children of those twelve sons to be His people–the people of Israel, who was Jacob at first.
Marriage does not make sexual activities different or less sinful in the sight of God. regardless of how people took their marital vows. I am saying that sexual activities is lust, a passion of the flesh, so this activity does nothing for the spiritual upbringing of a person, which is the only concern of God as far as human beings are concerned. For Jesus said, in heaven we neither marry, nor are given in marriage, for people will live like angels. So marriage is for until death do us part and so is sexual activities.
At Exodus 19 verse 15, Moses counsels the people of Israel to refrain from sexual activities for three days before they were to gather below Mount Zion, to receive the Ten Commandments from God. David, as he confessed his sins to God, he said: in sin did my mother conceive me. The apostle John, as he spoke about Jesus and a person being born of Life in the Spirit, he said that this person is born, not of the will of the flesh, nor of the decisions of man and his wife, but he, or she is born of God by faith.
Jesus was here among us, in the form of a human being, but His human body was conceived through a woman who had not known any man. He told His disciples that it was better to live a celibate Life than to have a wife. He also told Nicodemus that human beings must be born again of Water and the Spirit, if we desire to enter the Kingdom of God. God will not accept us in our clothing of flesh and blood, by which we came into this world through the sexual activities of our human parents.
The apostle Paul told the people of Corinth, that he wished they all could live like him, because he lived a celibate Life, but he advised them to get married only if they could not maintain the control over their sexual passion.
It is pass time for those of us who preach the Word of God to preach the truth about sexual activities. If sex was a blessing from God as they would like us to believe, why would He cause it to be a desire that provokes all sorts of immoral behavior, and in all sorts of ages.
Just as Jesus waited until He was 30 years old for Him to demonstrate baptism, as an example, to us, God sending His Holy Spirit in the physical form of a Dove for those around Him to witness, it is the same way that He gives us His blessing at an age that we are able to recognize them.
But even a healthy baby boy wakes up with an erection, much more for if he was even ten years old. And that is the reason young people are already all involved in sexual activities long before they reach 15 years old.
If sex was a blessing from God, why would He manifest that blessing in the flesh, whereas He manifest all His other blessings by faith and in the spiritual being of mankind beginning with his conscience. Most people are even ashamed to look at the person they are having sex with in the eye, that is to say how guilty or ashamed they feel in their conscience. No wonder sexual activities is known as a habit of the darkness and behind closed doors.
And finally, if sex was a blessing from God, why does the activity involves so much immoral conducts? The apostle Paul teaches us that just as darkness cannot blend with light, it is the same way corruption cannot blend with in-corruption.
But sexual desires came into us through the conduct of our parents Adam and Eve. Their interaction with Satan was a form of sexual intercourse, in that Satan disrobed them from their clothing of Spiritual Light, to plague them with his wicked lies, leaving them exposed in their state of physical nakedness. That is why they were ashamed of themselves and they thought they could hide from God. Having allowed Satan to interfere with them through this form of intimate relationship, they committed a great sin of adultery against God, a sin that caused Him not to desire to continue His divine plan of reproduction through them.
Hence God allowed Adam and Eve to conceive through their sinful sexual desire, but with the intention to restore Life in their offspring by faith. That is why Jesus said man must be born again of Water of and the Spirit. As man is born again in Spirit and in Truth, he begins to grow in that state on his return to God, who will again dress him with His clothing of Spiritual Light.
Woe be unto those so-called Christians who believe they can continue with their devour of sexual activities, and God is accepting them, just because they are married.
@Karkabeff: God laid down his rules whether or not the world has evolved. He specifically asked not to follow the ways of the world. Governments and entire societies who allow immoralality, don’t make them God. They are simply going against God. It is up to man to decide what you want for yourself.
You missed the point of the article when you talk about the idol part – and you just make yourself sound like an idiot.
Good article pastor! Any addictions of the world are wrong. And sex is only for the married.
Don’t know about you pastor but I like my fing and very often. The world has evolved and as far as I am concerned any man expecting to marry a virgin stands a 99% chance of being disappointed if the lady is older than 15 years old. Sad but true!
All sins are forgiveable including murder. Matter of fact, the word sin only makes sense to those of us who believe in the Almighty. Therefore, your attempt at preaching abstenance may be right in the sight of Christians but nonsensical to the wider audience. Demonizing sex because some people love a lot of it is also wrong. I am sure you would not mind having it three times a day when you are really in the mood if you can handle it. I myself like it three times a day and maybe five times on Sundays whenever possible. Does that make it my idol? Give me a break! Likewise I love food at least three times a day so I am guessing that make it my second idol.
You are 1000% correct by saying it is a sin and was only meant as a gift to married “christians” or believers in the Almighty. But classifying it as an idol for those of us who like a whole LOT of it is ridiculous to say the least. I have a very close friend who is a known man of god (pastor) that cant have enough sex with his wife on a daily basis. If they are anywhere by themselves then pipe will be laid accordingly. I consider him a stallion and his wife loves it too. So, does that make sex his idol?
I have a lot of respect for “some” of you men of the bible but sometimes you guys spew nothing but pure garbage. Go get a better understanding of the term idol as it pertains to the bible, then wheel and come again. Just maybe you will appreciate and enjoy sex a little more often than you currently do.
THE PIPELINE CHOKE, THE NEXT LEVEL IS STILL A DREAM!
