Love, marriage and sex
Have you ever wondered … What is love …?
Why does marriage exist? Why the need? Can’t we get on with our lives without him? What is sex Why does it have to be between a man and a woman? Why not man to man and woman to woman?
Regardless of how we look at it, sex has a lot to do with the Kingdom of God. Without sex, God’s purpose for humanity will not be realized. It was incorporated into the Master Plan of God’s creation, the part that involved humanity, from the beginning. We will see shortly.
A good number of people, especially the prudes, consider the subject of sex taboo when it comes to God and religion. For them, sex is bad, it is dirty. It should not be mentioned, even in casual conversation. On the other hand, the vast majority have fun with the subject. It is often the main subject of songs, poems, advertisements, news, articles, movies, television and theatrical shows, and any other activity in which the man may participate. But what is sex and why sex? Would humanity be better off without him?
It is very unfortunate, in fact, that due to the lack of understanding of the mystery of the Kingdom of God and the direct relationship of sex with it, people have fallen into all kinds of problems and miseries related to sex. It is humanity’s greatest weakness. In the face of temptation, men and women become powerless. Through the ages, powerful and notable and high-caliber men have fallen due to sex scandals. Countless people lived miserable lives (many still do) due to rampant sex. From the wealthy to what society calls “scum,” most, if not all, gave in to the seductive lure of sex at one point or another in their lives.
What is the purpose of sex?
We cannot have an objective, intelligent and sensitive discussion of the subject unless we approach it in the context of the Kingdom of God. Our starting point would be God’s plan to create man to replicate himself.
Due to the transcendent purpose of God in creating humanity, which was to raise a family of beings similar to Himself to populate the Kingdom that He was going to establish for His Son, it was necessary that He create them physical beings according to the natural law of God. reproduction or the direct transfer of the properties, attributes and basic qualities of the parent to the offspring resulting from generation to generation without loss of identity, regardless of the number of times the process is repeated, the “DNA” that science has come to call that.
With all the power available to Him (“Because for God nothing is impossible” [Luke 1:37]God could have created Adam as a single-celled living being capable of fission-reproducing like the amoeba, to accomplish His purpose, but He did not. Instead, he created a multicellular Adam incapable of reproducing himself, on his own. I needed a partner to carry out the process. Why?
Let’s read Genesis 2:18, “The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a help meet for him.’ He then formed Eve from the body of Adam (verses 21-22). instead of forming it from the dust as he did with Adam.
From this brief account of the creation of Adam, God is giving us insight into the deep meaning of love, which is the building block of His nature, the foundation of all that He is. “God is love” (1 John 4:16).
God imbued Adam with his basic attributes and traits, the main one of which is love, which Adam will then pass on to his children and his children to his children, to each and every subsequent generation. “We create man in our image, after our likeness,” God said (Genesis 1:26). From then on, he told Adam and Eve, “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it” (verse 28).
In addition to other attributes, God created Adam with the ability and ability to feel and express God’s reciprocal love. It is a feeling of concern for others that is equal in degree to concern for oneself. It is an innate desire for companionship and togetherness: to love and be loved. It is not instinct as in the case of animals. Considering this, logic will tell us that it was natural, therefore, for God to create a woman as a man’s companion, because how could Adam love if he had no one to love?
But why did it have to be a woman instead of another man? To answer the question, we first have to consider the natural law of reproduction which involves begetting or impregnation in contrast to fission. Science will tell us that, with the exception of the unicellular amoeba that reproduces by fission or cell division, all other living creatures that are multicellular: animals, insects, and birds, reproduce through fertilization, the union of sperm and sperm. Ovum. that are present in separate entities: the male and the female.
Through the process of conception, the physical properties, along with other attributes, of the parents are passed on and developed directly in the offspring. This process of reproduction requires intercourse between two opposite sexes (male and female) with different but complementary reproductive organs, to produce offspring. There is no way that a child can be conceived naturally except by this process. Science has devised “cloning” as an alternative to this natural process, but that is not acceptable to God.
That God created man necessarily to need a woman has everything to do with love. He created the woman from the man so that the man would desire the woman who is part of himself; and that the woman desires the man of which she is a part. God wanted them to complement each other, to complete what is lacking in their individual and separate selves. God created them one flesh for that purpose (Genesis 2:24). They share the same basic physical properties, but are equipped with different reproductive organs to carry out God’s purpose in creating humanity. God’s purpose cannot be realized between man and man or between two women. It just doesn’t work technically, morally, and spiritually. Any same-sex couple that imitates the type of relationship (including the sexual act) that God intended to have only between man and woman is an abomination to Him (Romans 1: 26-27).
God created in man and woman the desire or need to have sexual intercourse, regardless of the time factor, as the maximum expression of his love, not LUSTANCE or TASTE, for each other. That is why there is an orgasm in sex; also why the impulse to do so could reach the man or the woman at any moment. Compare this to the sexual behavior of animals and other living organisms that instinctively copulate or mate in response to nature’s call solely for the purpose of reproducing, therefore cyclical or seasonal.
Satan hates mankind because of his potential to be in the Kingdom of God while he himself will be cast out. Therefore, she is hell-bent on destroying man and one of her most effective tools to carry out her evil plan is the sex drive. It is a weakness that he observed in Adam when he consented to Eve’s seductive invitation to eat the forbidden fruit. Since then, he had perfected his craft and has never stopped corrupting the minds of people with lust through the centuries, right up to the present day. The worst thing is that it has influenced man to perform perverted acts that not even wild beasts do.
God knew, from the beginning, the weaknesses of men (and women) regarding sex, so He established guidelines for sexual behavior and responses through the written code (the law) that Jesus Christ later magnified in his ” Sermon on the Mount “. “He instituted marriage to formalize and unite the union of man and woman in love. God intended that sex, in fulfillment of His purpose and as an expression of love, be done within the limits of marriage between husband and wife. Then He blesses abundantly the faithful relationship with the birth of adorable children and a happy, God-centered family. God hates sex outside of marriage. Satan, however, takes great delight in it.
Sex is the most wonderful experience that a man and woman in love could enjoy in their physical life if it were done with the Plan of the Kingdom of God in mind. It is not only gratifying, but also truly satisfying, since with this act, the child that God forms in His likeness and image, a replica of Himself, is born and with each child that is born, the Master Plan of the Kingdom of God draws near. to the realization.
