Sex: the good & the bad

Sexuality in God's eyes

Gen 1:27  So God created humans in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. 

Gen 1:28  God blessed them and said, "Be fertile, increase in number, fill the earth, and be its master. Rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that crawl on the earth."

Types of bad sex

Incest

Deu 27:20  "Whoever has sexual intercourse with his father's wife will be cursed. He has disgraced his father." Then all the people will say amen.

Deu 27:22  "Whoever has sexual intercourse with his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter will be cursed." Then all the people will say amen.

Deu 27:23  "Whoever has sexual intercourse with his mother-in-law will be cursed." Then all the people will say amen.

Bestiality

Deu 27:21  "Whoever has sexual intercourse with any animal will be cursed." Then all the people will say amen.

Lev 20:15  If a man has sexual relations with an animal, he and the animal shall be put to death.

Homosexuality

1Ti 1:10  The Law was written for people who are sexual perverts or who live as homosexuals or are kidnappers or liars or won't tell the truth in court. It is for anything else that opposes the correct teaching

Rom 1:24  So God let these people go their own way. They did what they wanted to do, and their filthy thoughts made them do shameful things with their bodies.
Rom 1:25  They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshiped God's creation instead of God, who will be praised forever. Amen.
Rom 1:26  God let them follow their own evil desires. Women no longer wanted to have sex in a natural way, and they did things with each other that were not natural.
Rom 1:27  Men behaved in the same way. They stopped wanting to have sex with women and had strong desires for sex with other men. They did shameful things with each other, and what has happened to them is punishment for their foolish deeds. 


Can man and man increase in number? 
 
Adultery and Fornication

1Co 6:18  Flee fornication. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits fornication sins against his own body.

Heb 13:4  Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

Knowing oneself

Rom_12:1  Dear friends, God is good. So I beg you to offer your bodies to him as a living sacrifice, pure and pleasing. That's the most sensible way to serve God.


Have Self  control

Tit 2:6  Tell the young men to have self-control in everything.

Pro_5:23  They get lost and die because of their foolishness and lack of self-control.



2Ti 1:7  God's Spirit doesn't make cowards out of us. The Spirit gives us power, love, and self-control.

Mar_9:47  If your eye causes you to sin, get rid of it. You would be better off to go into God's kingdom with only one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into hell. 


Read the Word of God
Pro_6:23  The Law of the Lord is a lamp, and its teachings shine brightly. Correction and self-control will lead you through life.

Watch what you watch

Mat_6:22  Your eyes are like a window for your body. When they are good, you have all the light you need.

Mat_6:23  But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark. If the light inside you is dark, you surely are in the dark.

Luk_11:34  Your eyes are the lamp for your body. When your eyes are good, you have all the light you need. But when your eyes are bad, everything is dark.
