Sexual Sin
By Darren Morrison
San Diego California, in the middle of the porn belt of America, a couple had sex games in their garage. These people called themselves swingers. They would meet up with other couples to defile each other’s marriage beds. This is open adultery of the worse kind. This swinger culture is full of sick dark and twisted people who are so self-involved that they get together to have sexual games. Well one such sick couple invited perverted strangers into there home for sex. The sad part is that they had a young daughter. One day they found out that their daughter was missing, several weeks later the mutilated body of their daughter was found in the desert. It was found that a person who lived near them killed her. He was a swinger too and had been in their home for the sick perverted games. You see their perverted life style caused their daughters death. It is sad and it angers me that these sick people would let this happen.
People criticize me often about the way I raise my sons because I am a fundamentalist Christian father. If that little girl had lived in my home, she would have gone to church several times a week. She would have had to study the Bible in family devotions and she would have had to memorize scripture. She would have had to dress in modest apparel. She would have not been able to watch television or listen to much radio. I would censor what she could or couldn’t read. She would have been home-schooled. But more importantly she would have been loved and she would be alive now. I am sorry but I do not believe that these San Diego swingers loved their child. If they had loved her they would have protected her. They would have looked after her interests instead of their selfish desires.
Sexual sin is rampant in America. The more we learn about sexual diseases the more sexual immorality continues to prosper. If you want to mention anything like absence of morals you are labeled as a bigot from the people of the left. Our public schools have become a festering zone where sexual sin is introduced into the minds of our youth. And the spirit is if it feels good, it is okay. Those on the left in our school are hell bent on taking away any type of morals from our kids. They want sexual freedom for everyone. A sick twisted belief that came out of the drug culture of the 1960’s, but it is all a lie and it will leave people empty.
Sex is a wonderful thing don’t get me wrong. In marriage it can be ultimately fulfilling and create closeness and intimacy. There is false intimacy that is what to people have when they have sex in a different context other that what it was intended to be used for. You see those who have affair or have sex before they are married do not experience true intimacy. Sorry but it is true, sex outside of marriage will never and can never be as sweet. Genesis 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And in the New Testament the Bible says: Matthew 19: 4. And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, 5. And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? 6. Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. You see man and woman become one flesh. That is why true intimacy can only exist in a marriage.
Notice something else important in the verses above; it is man and wife and male and female. Nowhere in the Bible is it man and man or woman and woman. Or shared by 3,4,5 and so on. It is 2 a male and female just like those that entered the ark male and female in pairs only. Ephesians 5: 25. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; and in Colossians 3: 19. Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. Notice that it is always husband and wife not ever is it husband and husband or wife and wife. If Gay marriages were or are acceptable why would it not have been mentioned, because GOD’s word is perfect and the Holy Bible is complete. Every thing we need to know for an abundant life is in there. Now there is this queer who I have had dialog with on a message board. He is studying to be a Lutheran minister. He studies the Bible he claims in the original languages the Greek and Hebrew. Be wary of those who try to throw that at you. People use the original language too often times pervert the scripture. The KJV1611 is enough for me. The Holy Spirit speaks to me through English. But back to the point about this queer he claims that Romans 1: 27. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. He claims that in the Greek it means only when man sleeps with male prostitutes. The truth is Homosexuality is sin no matter how you slice up the Bible. You see, watch out for wolves in sheep’s clothing, who will tell you and our young people to go ahead and sin. They will twist the Bible to make you or them think it is okay.
If you be a believer as I, then you meditate on First Corinthians the seventh Chapter. In verse one Paul says “ Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman”. Yes that is right keep your hands off of her. If she is not your wife don’t touch, even touching can sometime ignite passion. For the young couple who is courting don’t even hold hands, what a wonderful thing it would be if at the alter when the father of the bride gives his daughter over in marriage that that is the first time he holds her hands and when the Pastor says, you may now kiss the bride would not that be heart warming to be the first kiss. In verse two Paul says “Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”. Avoid fornication give your body over to your spouse. Sex in the marriage bed is shameless and wonderful. Explore your sexuality in the confines of your marriage and everything is permissible. The marriage bed is undefiled. If you are not married and you have sex before then you are cheating on the one you will marry. More verses by Paul “ 3. Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4. The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5. Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.” You see the only time we should reframe from sex in marriage is in our time with GOD, during prayer and fasting. God is our fist priority but what I see here is our spouse is our second priority. The only thing that should ever come before our marriage is GOD and nothing else. Interesting side note here, In First Corinthians Seven there is only mention of heterosexual marriage, why is that? Because that is what GOD designed. Any other is a perversion.
As a great man once said, “GOD invented sex and GOD has the right to tell us how to us it”. That great man of GOD is my pastor. Paul tells us in 2 Timothy 22. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. So we need to call out with a pure heart, not one defiled with sexual sin. JESUS suffered greatly on the cross and paid a debt we owed that we could not pay. He asked us to be of pure heart. I love the Lord and I will obey him. Those who live this way do not love the Lord because they do not obey him. As for the want-a-be gay preacher he loves his sin more than JESUS. It is sad that he will not know true intimacy, but sadder yet are the people he will preach to. They will be ruined all because he wants to justify his evil.
What kind of home will you have or do you have. Romans 6:6. Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin. 7. For he that is dead is freed from sin. 8. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him: 9. Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him. 10. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 11. Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. 12. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof. 13. Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God. 14. For sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace. 15. What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. So if you are truly living for GOD under his grace why not do it his way. Love your wives or your husbands. Serve GOD and not sin and your life will be much more fulfilling AMEN.
I'm sorry, but "sick and twisted" as their lifestyles might have been--and I agree with your analysis in re "defiling the marriage bed," etc.--their lifestyle did NOT cause their daughter's death.
Using your logic, if I forgot to lock the front door tonight, and someone came in and took my 12-year-old daughter from her bed, kidnapped her and killed her, I would be the "cause" of it, and that's just not true.
Yes, these people were reckless. Yes, they contributed to an atmosphere where "sick freaks" were familiar with their home, and their nocturnal habits, and they made it easier for the perp to commit his dastardly crime.
But they did not "cause" their daughter's death. The cause of death was asphyxiation, caused purposefully by a monster in human flesh.
Again, don't misunderstand me: These people bear responsibility for their own actions, but NOT for the murder of their daughter.
In fact, there is a sad, poetic justice attendant on this. They were careless, they were foolish, they were blatantly immoral, and for once, they reaped the fruits of their wickedness.
I take pains to say this, because we are all about shifting blame around, quite a bit, in our modern society.
ONE MAN is standing trial for this murder. ONE MAN is allegedly responsible, and I believe that ONE MAN will pay for it--if I had any say in the matter, pay with his life.
But the parents aren't on trial for murder, nor should they be.
This is where we probably part company, since I do not see a direct connection to murder stemming from the sexual escapades of the parents. I mean had they not changed the batteries in the smoke detectors and the house burned down with children’s lives being lost, I would see the connection, this is less clear for me.
Not everyone believes as you do, and as long as you can accept the fact that you and your religion are secondary to civil laws we have no problem. I will respect your right to believe whatever works for you as long as it does not restrict my freedom. The day you feel it necessary for your religion to become the law of the land, should also be the day you prepare to kill for it, because there will be those who oppose your efforts.
You see that is how fundamentalism works, once started down that road, one can never really be good enough, clean enough or moral enough, the refiners fire must constantly burn hotter consuming all that it touches.
Gospel
Mt 7:6, 12-14
Jesus said to his disciples:
"Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine,
lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.
"Do to others whatever you would have them do to you.
This is the Law and the Prophets.
"Enter through the narrow gate;
for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction,
and those who enter through it are many.
How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life.
And those who find it are few."
Sorry but I have to differ with you. Forgetting something cannot be compared to deliberate and pre meditated negligence. These parents put their children in danger. Being locked up in a garage, doped up, whereas their children had no easy acess to them if needed, cannot even be claimed to be negligence.
No. You're completely wrong. They brought sick and twisted (by your own admission) people into their home on a regular basis, and brought them into contact with their daughter. Any loving parent would NEVER have done that. It is NOT the same as forgetting to lock the door. It is like leaving bottles of poison next to the orange juice in the refrigerator, not caring at all about the danger involved, and then looking surprised when the kid dies of poisoning. This is a case of total selfish parental neglect and endangerment. They brought about their child's death.
A little girl's life was what was consumed here - and it did not happen because of religion or fundamentalism.
Exactly.
And it has yet to be proved that the sexual proclivities of her parents had anything to do with her death either, but don’t let that fact stand in the way of your condemnation of them.
It's not standing in my way at all.
