A good example of practice of self-control is exemplified in marriage or the lack of it results in divorce. In today's society, the solution to marital difficulties even when children are involved is: "if it doesn't work out well I guess is time to start over." As a result of this behavior leaves children without parents to be raised by either a single parent or a relative or stranger. Another example of acceptable behavior is homosexuality, instead of a homosexuality being considered a possible emotional disturbance that results in rejecting the need for an intimate relationship with a member of the opposite sex, the homosexual is considered normal by choice. Or, a form of blame shifting for this condition is �God created me this way� here we go blaming God for our failures to be able to fulfill his plan for our lives. People that commit adultery often times will blame God for this act of infidelity, disloyalty, and self-indulgent pride. Many times, usually by men, in order to justify their am immorality, fornication and adultery often this statement is said: "If God did not create me this way then I would not have these desires." Now that's about as big a lie can get.
God made man and woman for the sole purpose be joined together and become one flesh. One flesh means just that, one-woman one-man come together and joins their bodies and hearts together intimately and the result of this is the birth of a child; which is in fact one flesh from the flesh union between a man and a woman. For this reason, in order for a human being to properly develop into adulthood, the child must remain in union with both his father and mother for all of the years of development, adolescence, and young adulthood; until the day in which the child becomes an adult. When a young adult begins his or her own family, most likely that young parent will develop their children in the same manner in which he or she was raised.
The reason adultery fornication and immorality should be abhorred is because of the emotional destruction that it brings not only to the adults involved. Even worse the children are cut off from a natural relationship of which the Bible calls one flesh. Their flesh becomes divided as well and so confusion and emotional and physical damage is done in whenever parents divide a marriage and try to rebuild the marriage using any stranger to reconcile a union between the three people. This is same as putting a square peg in a round hole and expecting it to fill all of the space. It is possible to fit a square peg in a round hole but there will still remain empty spots. The result is, instead of strength and unity being achieved the void creates weakness and lack of fulfillment.
Of all things homosexuality is an absolute defiance of God's immaculate plan for man and woman to become one flesh and one-person. And homosexual cannot procreate with a person of his or her own sex. Therefore, God couldn't possibly have anything to do with this type of behavior, as part of His plan. Instead, God makes very clear that even when man finds certain traditions and other behavior acceptable they're not by any means, healthy either physically or emotionally for any person that practices things that society would call acceptable and the word of God calls an abomination.
The truth is that an abomination to God is and anything that God has created has not fulfilled its created purpose. Sickness and disease in humans� plants or animals are abominations to God. Theft, murder, war, famine, deception, selfishness, thanklessness, obstinate-ness, hate, envy, strife, un-forgiveness, manipulation, lying, cheating, bitterness, un-forgiveness, sorcery, intoxication, witchcraft, confusion, cowardice, paranoia, acts of immorality, adultery, fornication, pornography, and thoughts that dwell on these things are all abominations to God. None of these things will not, and cannot be a part of Heaven here on Earth or for eternity as well. Therefore, any thing that is contrary to the nature of God including pestilence, pollution, and all things that alter the manner in which God has given them to us from creation, are all abominations to God.
God has given us the power to be able to put everything in the proper order after which he created it to be. When Jesus died on the Cross an exchange was made. All of mankind was in bondage to sin and death. Before the cross Satan and his demons ruled the earth and there all of mankind was subject to him. By faith men would obey the laws of God and sacrifice the blood of animals for the atonement of sin. Yet men lived in a time that an indwelling of the Holy Spirit was not available as a witness to the soul of a man. Man was doomed. On the Cross Jesus was made the sin of the entire world starting from the Garden of Eden all the way to the last day that Satan is eventually thrown in the Lake of Fire forever. Jesus literally exchanged his perfection for our abominations. His blood was shed so all that believe this gospel shall have complete power over all of the circumstances in life. They shall have the Holy Spirit dwelling within them, revealing the truth to the soul. More over they shall share in His resurrection. |
