KEEPING THE SANCTITY OF MARRIAGE
Saturday, July 9th, 2011
There is a great wave of discontent among some people on the earth today in regard to the usefulness and correctness of homosexual relationships, and even marriages. The Apostle Paul long ago wrote of these matters to the Romans, as recorded in Rom. 1:18-32, in a way that expressed the Lord’s viewpoint leaving no doubt about these things: “The wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who hold the truth in unrighteousness: Because that which may be known of GOD is manifest in them; for God has shown unto them. For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even HIS eternal power and GODHEAD; so that they are without excuse; because that when they knew GOD, they glorified HIM not as GOD, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the uncorruptible GOD into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Wherefore GOD also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves. They changed the truth of GOD into a lie (Compare the Old Testament Book Leviticus Ch. 18), and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, Who is forever blessed. (Rom. 18-25).
The Bible discloses that many times GOD has given over HIS will to HIS children to observe that they will do, all of man’s earth experiences being a test of the knowledge and understanding of each,; what he will do in each situation that confronts him during his earthly appearances.
Apostle Paul, the Apostle of the Gentiles, is quoted in 1 Cor. 6:13-20 as having commented to the Corinthians: “Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body. And God has raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by His own power. Know ye not that bodies are the members of Christ? Shall I then take the member of Christ and make them the members of a harlot? GOD forbid. What, know ye not that he which is joined to a harlot is one body? for he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is without the the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of GOD, and you are nor your own? For you are bought with a price: therefore glorify GOD in your body, and in your spirit, which are GOD’s.”
And consider 1 Cor. 7:1-17, which adds that “every MAN should have his own wife, and every WOMAN have her own husband;” which makes excellent sense because a man and a woman may together bring a child into the earth dimension, whereas neither a man nor woman alone is able to bear children able to carry their DNA into future generations, a crucial factor in sustaining mankind’s generations. An old saying claims, “It is a wise man who knows his own father, if his family’s generations are not properly maintained.” This is one way of saying that unstable relationships will produce more of the same, because the vibrational patterns of the flesh — the hormones in men being radically different from the hormones in women — are stamped into permanence, perhaps even by the union of a homosexual to a non-homosexual mate. As Paul commented: “I keep under my body and bring it into subjection; lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway!” (1 Cor. 9:27).
