Why is fornication so rampant in our congregations?

[Rest Of God Ministries]

Have church has become worst than dogs? Gallup an internet polling website reports that 69% of those who attend church weekly say that premarital sex in morally acceptable. What is going on?

I think there is a problem in the teaching that's going forth concerning sexual addictions. It's being swept under a carpet instead of exposing and dealing with it. The leaders aren't taking this sin serious enough and some are even telling the people it's okay, God still loves you. Esau was a fornicator, a profane person who did not take the spiritual things of God serious enough, he even sold his birth right for a morsel of meat. He was a habitual fornicator that could not repent even though he sought it with tears. God gives every man and woman space to repent of their fornication, and if they wait and allow the space to run out they will become reprobate. Unable to repent or break the habit of lust and fornication. How can one get free from this sin? What they must he do? I want to here your answers.

what scriptures do you have to back this up? Paul says it's better to marry than to burn. People take Marriage vows and marriage vows are covenants. Without a Vow there is no covenant. So how is having sex marriage? Also why did Moses say "give them a writing of divorcement," note the word "writing" a document.

[Rev. Eric Culberson Jr.]

Bro. James you and I and haved this conversation before on a similar topic you started. But you say a marriage ceremony is "tradition", but the tradition goes all the way back to early OT days. Marriage, just like baptisim is an event that SHOULD be witnessed by others. All these secret commitments. Plus whats wrong with tradition? Not all tradition is bad nor unneccassary, so why would you continually try to promote something that does not build up the body but actually could be a threat to tear it down. You run around here telling people that public marriage ceremonies are not important, and for what?

I agree there is a problem with sex in the church. The Spirit of Babylon has to be dealt with. We have to let people know how serious God take sex outside of marriage. People need to be taught that sex is a spiritual because of the way God has designed for it to be used. In the old testament when a couple got married they had to enter the room and have sex while their parents was outside. When finished, they had to bring out the linen to show proof of virginity. No blood, stoning took place. GOD WAS AN IS STILL SERIOUS ABOUT SEX NOT BEING INDULGE OUTSIDE OF MARRIAGE. The scripture tells us to flee fornication. If you are caught in that situation, you need to stay in the WORD. You need to take up residence in the scripture concerning sex and fornication. You should be honest with God about your situations even though he knows. We also need to pray and ask God for an accountability partner who is spiritually mature and strong enough to walk through the deliverance process. YOU HAVE TO WANT TO BE FREE!!!

Fornication for a believer is taking the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot. Our body belong to the Lord, it is the temple of God now that we are born again. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. It is defiling the temple of God when a saint commits fornication. It is a very serious sin....1 Corinthians 6:12-20...

1 Corinthians 3:16-17...Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

Rest,

I will not deny the certificate of divorce. One does not need to have a ceremony to get that. I am not against having a ceremony, but its not "required" to be considered married.

[Rest Of God Ministries]

I'm still waiting on those scriptures, do you have any?

[James Pierce]

Rest,

There are no scriptures conforming that ceremonies are "required." There are no scriptures stating that its ok. BUT, it all lies in the meaning of fornication.

[prophetess m. brignac]

YES SIR, I'M WAITING AS WELL. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING PERSPECTIVES I'VE ENCOUNTERED YET, EVEN THOUGH I'M STILL FULLY PERSUADED THAT FORNICATION, HOWEVER IT'S DEFINED, IS SEXUAL IMPURITY, AND UNCLEANNESS AND GOD HAS A PROBLEM WITH THAT. AS A MATTER OF FACT THEY ARE AT THE TOP OF HIS "SHALL NOT SEE HIM" LIST! IT WASIMPORTSNT ENOUGH TO BE METIONED, IN THE SAME BREATH WITH WARNING TO AVOID AND JUDGEMENT, FRO GENESIS TO REVELATION. DAVID WAS "COMMITTED" TO BATHSHEBA, AND BROUGHT DESTRUCTION UPON MANY. WHAT YOU'RE STATING IS THAT ALL THESE "SHACKERS' WHO ARE CREATING "FAMILIES WITHOUT THE BLESSING OF SANCTIONED COVENANTS ARE NOT AN ISSUE FOR GOD, AND I FIND THAT AMAZING.MARRIAGE WASN'T ESTABLISHED AS A SOCIAL EVENT OR 'PARTY OF A LIFETIME". IT WAS ,AND SHOULD BE, VERY IMPORTANT. IT WAS CERTAINLY RELEVANT ENOUGH FOR CHRIST TO STOP BY ONE IN PARTICULAR, AND IT PROVOKED HIS FIRST RECORDED MIRACLE. OUR PRAYER SHOULD BE THAT HE "STOPS BY" THEM ALL, BUT YOU ARE ENTITLED TO YOUR OWN "TRUTH"., AND I'M NOT MAD AT THAT. I WILL CONTINUE TO PRAY THOUGH,

Prophetess,

Look above to see the definition of fornication. See if you can find "shacking up," or implications of it in the definition :)

[prophetess m. brignac]

PEOPLE WHO LIVE HUSBAND AND WIFE WITH ALL THE BENEFITS OF MARRIAGE, WITHOUT BIBLICALLY SANCTIONE DMARRIAGE ARE IN "COMMITTED" RELATIONSHIIPS.
