My concern after all of these posts is the sister that had the initial question. Have you found the truth regarding this? Did you find the answer you needed? There is no defense for fornication in the life of a Beleiver. This subject should be closed.
As beleiver's His truth is all that matters. Not our opinion. Not what I "receive" or what makes my flesh tingle with agreement. His Word is clear. We have to ask ourselves why do we so readily receive the promises of God but have to be so heavily convinced of His law? Yes, He indeed loves us all but willfull sin has and always will separate us from God. Jer. 29 demonstrates how God who greatly loved and still loves Israel, had to turn them over to their enemy because of their disobedience. You'll read how He lovingly speaks to them of their restoration but that is after He tells them that they will be going to Babylon as captives for 70 years!!! It's like a parent who has to discipline their child ..."this hurts me more than it hurts you"...
He loved and still loves them but He's holy and there are consequences for making the wrong choice. That is why He leaves it plainly in His word so that we would make the right choice.
You don't need some deep revealtion from God when His word is clear on this subject. You just have to ask yourself , if you need scripture after scripture or you want to avoid this subject, is this the Will of God concerning you? Would the Holy Spiirt be leading you to "leave this alone"? No, only the enemy wants to deter you from the truth. Don't wait for your flesh to agree with this because it won't. The flesh will always war against the Spirit. If anyone prefers to continue in sin then that's fine. Really it is. Because God gives you a choice. Just understand what choice you are making. Understand when you accept this behaviour you are rejecting Him.
