Sometimes, no matter how spiritual you are… you can get bored during the hymns or sermon.
Years ago a friend shared this naughty little trick with me to liven things up…at least for you.
Whatever song is being sung at the moment… just say the title of the song in your head… and add “between the sheets”.
Amazing Grace… between the sheets.
How Great thou Are… between the sheets.
Love Lifted Me…. between the sheets.
And one of my favs… The King is Coming… between the sheets!
And if it’s already passed into the Sermon portion of the service… well those hymnals are just right in front of you… hundreds of amazing inspired songs just waiting for… between the sheets.
Just if you get busted… you didn’t hear anything so irreverent from Lover of Passion here on WordPress.
Therefore, (according to the facts presented in my last post) —Homosexuals can NEVER participate in The Act of Marriage and thus can never consummate the physical act of Marriage.
Homosexuality is a sexual act but it can never be The Act of Sex (also called the Act of Marriage).
I’ve steered clear of most discussions about homosexuality. It’s widely discussed in a wide plethora of avenues and outlets. The Bible is clear in both Old and New Testaments about homosexuality being a sin.
The Bible isn’t as clear about other topics such as masturbation or nudity, or even polygamy, but it’s very clear that homosexuality is always considered a sin.
22 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.
23 “ ‘Do not have sexual relations with an animal and defile yourself with it. A woman must not present herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it; that is a perversion.
24 “ ‘Do not defile yourselves in any of these ways, because this is how the nations that I am going to drive out before you became defiled.
—–Leviticus 18:22-24
18The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen. 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. 32 Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
—–Romans 1:18-32
I included the longer passage from Romans because I believe the entire passage describes not only God’s feelings towards homosexuality but also His heartbreak and subsequent anger in turning over a people (like the nations of the West), who no longer like to retain the knowledge of God anymore —-over to this hard hearted prideful worldview that we see and witness unfolding before us each and every day.
Most all the once Christian nations have kicked Jesus out of our schools, our governments, our homes and our hearts… and we are receiving the just “fruit” of what we have sown… As Billy Graham once quoted “We have sown the wind and we will reap the whirlwind”.
With the Bible being clear about the subject of homosexuality, I found it interesting several years ago while thinking about the topic of the last blog post. When I was first learning about what the Bible does and does not say about sex and nudity and passion and pleasure, I learned where the “line” is.
Most young people who are Christians, want to know just where the actual line between sin and passion lies! Can we make out with our girlfriend? Is copping a feel a sin? What about stuff like blow jobs, going down on your girlfriend, or even anal sex. We find this incredible beautiful world of sex, romance and passion and we want desperately to know where the line actually is.
Some of us, like myself, read I Kissed Dating Goodbye ” by the now infidel Joshua Harris. I spent five years trying to “court” instead of date. I don’t regret those years of focusing on Jesus and going to the best Bible School ever, The Brownsville Revival School of Ministry in 2000-2002. However after leaving Bible School and desiring to get married… I was really lost with how to practice courtship , when neither of my parents really “got” the premise. After five years of trying to practice courtship, I reverted back to dating.
At the same time I was just coming to the conclusions written here on this blog. I wish I could say that I retained the same purify dating as I had done practicing courtship. I didn’t know where the lines were and in my ignorance, I crossed several lines into sin.
The simple version of where the lines are with being physical in dating, is that anything that involves the contact of your penis or your vagina is a sexual act. I know that leaves groping bums and boobs, but I can’t assert that touching those non-sexual areas to be sinful. I believe there’s a pretty clear line that our masculine and feminine sex organs are definitely the actual “no fly zones”.
If you’re man handling your boyfriend’s cock or balls ladies, that an area God reserved to be touched by his actual wife alone. And the same goes for the reverse gentlemen. That’s our sexual body parts and touching those sexual body parts is strictly forbidden, except for spouses. Any touching or intentionally manipulating of the penis or vagina constitutes “a sexual act”. Any sexual act falls under the wide umbrella of acts considered to be fornication in Scripture.
All sexual sins can be summed up in two to three categories.
Let’s start with the two categories from the Old Testament: sinful sexual acts and sinfully commiting the Act of Sex.
All physical sexual acts would always include: bestiality, homosexuality, incest, rape, as well as ALL sexual acts that are committed with someone that you are not married to. Touching someone’s penis or vagina with ANY part of your own body, orally sucking, licking or manipulation of someone else’s penis or vagina, and anal sex – any of these acts or any others that I failed to mention that are committed with anyone that you are not Biblically married to would constitute a “sexual act”.
The second kind of sexual sin listed in the Old Testament is committing the Act of Sex (also called the Act of Marriage) with anyone other than your husband or wife is called adultery.
So in the Old Testament we are told to refrain from all sexual acts AND the Act of Marriage with anyone with whom we are not married to.
In the New Testament, Jesus tells us in the Sermon on the Mount, to not even imagine committing ANY sexual act OR the Act of Marriage with anyone with whom we are not married to. Jesus took the physical restrictions and told us not only to refrain from doing them in the flesh but also in our own minds. This is called sexual lust, when we imagine doing a sexual act or the Act of Marriage with anyone who isn’t our betrothed before Almighty God. The Old Testament clean/unclean laws were done away with in the New Testament, but in one of the only ways that Jesus “upped” the moral laws; He forbids us from even imagining doing these sexual sins.
So although you could list many sexual sins, they all fall neatly into three basic categories: Sexual Acts, Committing the Act of Marriage out of Wedlock, and The Act of Lusting (committing those physical sexual sins in our thoughts).
Going back to our title; because homosexuality is a sexual act and can NEVER be The Act of Marriage (interchangeablely called the Act of Sex), NO homosexuals can EVER consummate a marriage as it’s meant to be consummated. The Act of Marriage requires a penis AND a vagina. It’s simple biology (though people today seem offended by the most simple and basic human biology today).
This isn’t to say that homosexual’s “vows” at the mock weddings of today are valid either. Marriage is an institution created by God Himself and He sets the moral rules as well as the physical rules of matrimony. Satan can only pervert what God creates. Satan can NEVER create some new and good. He can only twist and pervert what IS.
Foolish people can call homosexual “marriage” valid and true, but in the realm of Authority, the highest Authority gets to make the rules. God is Always the Ultimate Authority and His Revealed Word, The Holy Bible, is His Final and Unalterable Revelation of His Law and Will. The Bible never once honors the perversion of homosexuality and is not silent on the topic as He is on many other topics. He revealed His Will what defines marriage and what marriage is in this temporal life. These millions of people saying otherwise is utter pride, which oddly enough is the first reason given in the book of Ezekiel as to why God Himself destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.
Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit.
Ezekiel 16:49-50
So besides going back to telling a little of my story of learning the difference between sexual acts and the Act of Marriage and reiterating what lust is: We can clearly see that even though things are referred to as “gay sex”, all homosexual acts are “sexual acts” and can never be The Act of Sex or Marriage. Besides knowing that homosexuals can never engage in the Act of Marriage, we also logically know why that they can never fulfill the Act of Marriage, which if never performed after an actual wedding, those involved can never consummate the Marriage before God and mankind. Not only are homosexual “wedding” vows unattainable in the sight of a Holy and Loving God, but the second requirement for a marriage to be consummated in a Holy physical act in the sight of God can NEVER be consummated. The Act of Marriage always requires a penis AND a vagina.
The “champions” of perversion and gross immorality and pride can call a pig in a wedding dress a bride or groom until Jesus returns for His Bride, The Church, BUT calling a homosexual “marriage” real or legitimate in any way will NEVER make it real or legitimate in even the tiniest detail. Like calling men, “she” or “her” will never change biology or the Truth, though everyone on the planet agrees or disagrees. God’s Word is the Truth and it’s precious, unalterable and Holy.
I find there’s a good deal of confusion between the Act of Marriage or the Act of Sex and “sexual acts”.
The Act of Sex is simply when a man and a woman have vaginal sex. This is the actual Act of Sex. Without this act of the man penetrating his wife with his penis, No marriage is complete. If a couple doesn’t consummate their marriage, usually on the wedding night, then it is possible to have a marriage annulled – like the ceremony never happened.
Many cultures would wait outside the room, after a wedding, and check the sheets to verify (by the breaking of the hymen and subsequent bleeding) that the act of Marriage had taken place.
Technically, a true marriage covenant, requires BOTH a public ceremony of lifelong commitment before God and man AND The Act of Marriage (vaginal intercourse). This Act is only possible between One Man and One Woman.
This seems to be a prominent source of confusion in our day. However, the Act of Sex (or Marriage) is always considered the joining together of the penis and the vagina. Whereas sexual acts include all other forms of touching genitals with another person or animal (bestiality…gross!).
Whereas, sexual acts are ANY kind of healthy OR sinful sexual act that involves a penis or a vagina to contact any other human (or even animal). Sexual acts include oral sex, simply touching the sexual organ of another human being, anal sex, hand jobs, as well as the always deviant homosexual acts, bestiality, molestation, rape, etc.
This is a very important distinction and very important to remember.
The first time I saw a mostly naked woman (no clothes except panties) was at a local strip club called Peaches in Valdosta, Georgia.
It took all the courage I could muster to even go in the darkened doors to the club. My heart was racing. I didn’t know what to expect at a strip club.
I had recently searched the scriptures about viewing nudity and couldn’t find any commands to “look the other way” regarding nudity or sex. Still… I was so nervous and excited in a way that is somewhat rare in life.
I remember seeing the dancers on the stage and it was utterly intoxicating… Seeing a naked woman is the most exciting thing in this life outside of my relationship with Jesus. I actually imagined Him sitting with me, because I was still new in my beliefs and didn’t want to go anywhere that He wouldn’t go with me. That really comforted me because as much as I love naked women, I love Him so much more as a Christian.
I don’t remember the girls dancing on the stage as much as I remember one of the girls who was walking around talking drink orders… she had never put her top back on and I was entranced to not only see this woman’s legs and soft feminine arms but her breasts called to the deep places in my heart…. here was beauty… here was romance…. here was Eros walking amongst mere mortals
I don’t remember many details as the years pass, but I remember this goddess walking around and her bare breasts so close that I could feel eternity beckon from the deep primal places in the heart that God had placed in my chest…. such pure intoxication…. such ecstasy to just “behold” raw beauty….beauty that pierces my heart and soul to this day…
I was tempted to try to create Christian pornography recently. Would you ever consider hiring a nice looking married couple to pose and make love while you or a photographer filmed them?
Would you actually buy magazines full of nudity that had articles about the Bible and sexuality in them? Sort of a Christian version of Playboy?
Would you attend a Christian Strip Club if one existed?… I have so many many hot ideas for this idea?
Is there anyone out there with the financial means of funding or producing Christian Pornography magazines or investing in a Christian Strip Club?
I am going to write a book one day called “Controversial Christianity” and explore what the Bible does and does not say about several topics that are mostly considered sinful by large portions of the church…. some of the topics we’ll find that the Bible does actually condemn… and others it doesn’t…
Do you struggle with lust? One of the reasons that I started this site was to explore the difference between watching nudity and sex… without imagining ourselves performing sexual acts with anyone who isn’t our spouse.
I did really well for about 12 years, but as my marriage disintegrated…i found myself imagining myself having sexual encounters with my therapist at the time, because I could sense she liked me as a Man… while it turned out that my wife loathed me in her heart for loving Jesus more than her (or anyone… kinda the heart of being a true Christian)
Rachel from Wow Girls
I slowly got things back to holiness and have struggled off and on over the last 12 years… even though it really does help knowing where the ‘line’ is and what lust actually is.
Do you struggle with lust often, or can you truly savor and enjoy sexuality and pornography and nudity without lusting after the women…or men if you are a woman?
