(a 4 minute read)  You know how you can read something many times, and one of these times something hits you right upside the head. Well, for me this is one of them. Sexual Immorality is listed in the Bible several times. I am kind of afraid as I share this thought because if I am the only one that thinks this, I am going to look reaaaaaaaally bad, but here it goes.

In my mind, when I read ‘sexual immorality’ the first thing that crosses my mind is LGBTQ. Do you think the same? Or maybe I should say, “Do you my Christian sisters and brothers think the same??”

Then I thought to myself, if Jesus was sitting next to me…………… hey, why imagine. The Lord is next to me all the time. ALL THE TIME. So I said, Hi Jesus 🙂

What do you consider sexual immorality Jesus?

Is this a trap question?

No not at all Jesus, I was just reflecting on what the Bible says about sexual immorality?

What do you think the Bible identifies as sexual immorality?

Actually the Bible details quite a bit on actions between individuals and even bestiality. In many cases I go wow, such detail. It is quite interesting.

From what you have read, what do you believe in today’s measure, other than what
you’d consider obvious, would be Biblicaly considered as sexual immorality?

Well Jesus, it is my turn to ask, is this a trap question??

Jesus laughed out loud 🙂

OK, I guess I have to be forward and honest just like the Bible is. Here goes;
Sex before marriage  –  Masturbation    am I on the right track here?

Keep on going

OK there’s; Pornography  –  Marrying a divorced person  –  sexual acts, not intercourse, outside of marriage

Anything else comes to mind?

Well, if you’re asking Jesus, then there’s more. You’ve personally said that the thought counts. So I guess looking at a woman and thinking ‘Oh she’s so hot’ or a woman thinking that about a man, would count as sexual immorality. How am I doing so far?

Are you sure that these things you have listed are Biblicaly considered as sexual
immorality? Your brothers and sisters will examine this.

My answer is simple; would you, Jesus, consider these sexual immorality? If yes, then there you go.

Do you, your brothers and sisters regard all these acts equally as sexual immorality just
as they consider LGBTQ?

No Jesus, and I say this with sadness. Me and my sisters and brothers seem to have ‘graded’ or ‘classified’ sexual immorality to suit us. We all know and say that a sin is a sin in God’s eyes. And we say love the sinner but hate the sin. Yet we clearly hold up our rocks and stones up high against LGBTQ and are pretty hush hush about all the other types. We seem to burn some on the stake and fully ignore others.

How then do you, your sisters and brothers regard things like lying, jealousy, greed,
envy, malice and so on? You know they’re always listed alongside sexual immorality!

I am afraid to say Jesus that we don’t even regard them as sin. We may say that we do, but really we do not. Are you saying Jesus that we should hold our rocks and stones up high against these too??

Son, what did I do when people held up their stones against that woman?

Well Jesus, You said, whoever is without sin let him throw the first stone.

I wonder why then you, your brothers and sister seem to believe that you are without
sin, hence hold up rocks and stones against any other person?? Me wiping your sin
away, as you do it, does not in any way mean that you are without sin……

But I do know that I am a sinner and constantly say it!

Then I want you to act more like it instead of just saying it over and over.

 

My Lord and my Creator, I thank you for your Kindness, Love and Grace. May I acknowledge, see and sense my daily sin so that I may acknowledge, see and sense Your continual Grace in my life. May I love my fellow man/woman without ever holding up rocks and stones let alone throwing such rocks and stones at anyone. I love you and thank you my Creator.
