In the beginning.....
#1 - God made man in His image and after His likeness.
#2 - God made man and woman to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.
#3 - And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bore Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
In the beginning....powerful words.
If we are made in God's image and after His likeness, we must ask ourselves these questions:
"Would God approve of what I am doing in the marriage bed with my husband, knowing that its the same thing that homosexuals and lesbians do in an defiled bed?"
"Should I engage in the same acts knowing that God considers it an abomination?"
"Is my temple a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God...which is my reasonable service?"
I believe that the Holy Spirit gives us unctions in our spirit that lets us know what the Lord is pleased with and what He isn't pleased with. I think we become so accustomed to what we think is right, rather than knowing what is right, that we don't hear when He is speaking truth to us. So....we search the scriptures, which is what we are suppose to do. But, when we can't find it in the scriptures, then we think to ourselves
"well, if its not in the Word then it must be ok."
Many things that the Holy Spirit reveals to us may not actually be written in the scriptures because, if all the things that Jesus taught/said was written...the books would be too many to number. Now, most of us were not virgins when we got with our husbands. What we did in other relationships in the bedroom, we brought into our Godly marriages.
[No matter how you feel about Juanita Bynum, ya'll got to remember "No More Sheets." God used that woman to share about the defiled bed like no other] Just because we are married, doesn't mean we can do whatever we want in the bedroom. Oral sex came from other people and places. Think about it...do you think that in the beginning....when there was no sin... that there was oral sex going on between Adam and Eve? Before the fall....there was no need for that. What God gave to them was more than enough. After the fall...sin came in and we are dealing with sin in our lives today.
We must not take the scripture out of context. (Marriage bed undefiled)
The bible says that "Adam KNEW his wife...." we don't need for anyone to tell us what that means....He knew his wife so that they could have children and build upon the foundation that the Lord has set for us as humans. The Lord made it beautiful for Adam and Eve to make love...God, Our Father, is the ultimate love generator....no one can do it like He can!!! We must remember that He is and always will be perfect and there is no sin in Him! God doesn't make mistakes!!!! (note: I'm too old to have more children now...but, my husband KNOWS me:eyebrows2 :Blush2:
We must be in position to hear from the Holy Spirit. He has let me and my husband know that its wrong (oral sex)from the very beginning of our relationship and I'm grateful that we listened to Him because I can truly say that our marriage is 14 years strong and still going and our bed is definitely undefiled because we CHOOSE not to allow anything that may even have a hint of sin in it, be apart of our experience as husband and wife.
If it ain't tight...it ain't right
I'm just sharing how my life is with God in a Godly marriage and what the Holy Spirit has spoken to my heart about this thing. We are not perfect and we still work on our marriage in many areas, but in this area...we are good to go
!
People will still have to hear from the Holy Spirit concerning this area of their lives.
I've talked long enough....thanks for reading
