Fornication Pt.2
Proverbs 5 - Painful Consequences
The words of an immoral woman may be as sweet as honey
and as smooth as olive oil. But all that you really get from being with her is bitter poison and pain (vs 3-4 CEV).
I could easily interpret the “bitter poison and pain” in the above verse to mean: the affects of a STD, but this isn’t just physical pain in your body from some disease, God is talking about spiritual pain.
Proverbs chapter five was written for born again, men of God. I say this because we are usually the ones who experience the feeling of “bitter poison and pain” after committing such a nasty act as fornication.
This kind of pain is realizing you’ve screwed up your relationship with God and fragmented your soul with everyone else she’s been with.
As with any kind of sin, whether it be lying, pride, or whatever, these can leave a bitter taste in our mouths – but with fornication, it’s so bitter that it makes you want to vomit.
The world gladly fornicates and thinks nothing about messing up their relationship with God, because they don’t have one. Sinners don’t experience pain unless someone breaks their heart, or they catch a STD.
I want to emphasis the fact that, as a man of God, soul pain is guaranteed if you fornicate, but with the increase in STDs, physical pain in the genital area is also a guarantee. The following are some stats from the CDC and Advert.org about Chlamydia.
Chlamydia
Increasing numbers of infections have made chlamydia the most widespread STD in the USA. In 1997 there were 537,904 reported diagnoses, corresponding to a rate of 205.5 per 100,000 population. However, by 2008 the annual total had more than doubled to 1,210,523 and the rate per 100,000 had risen to 401.3 … (source link).
Only about 30% of women with chlamydia have symptoms. Symptoms that may occur include:
- Burning sensation during urination
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Rectal pain or discharge
- Vaginal discharge
- Symptoms of PID, salpingitis, liver inflammation similar to hepatitis
In men, chlamydia may produce symptoms similar to gonorrhea. Symptoms may include:
- Burning sensation during urination
- Discharge from the penis or rectum
- Testicular tenderness or pain
- Rectal discharge or pain
In 2008, the overall rate of reported chlamydia infection among women in all 50 states and the District of Columbia (583.8 cases per 100,000 females) was almost three times higher than the rate among men (211.1 cases per 100,000 males), likely reflecting a greater number of women screened for this infection (Figure 1, Tables 4 and 5) (source link).
In 2008, chlamydia rates increased for all racial and ethnic groups (Figure 6, Table 11B). The rate of chlamydia among blacks was over eight times higher than that of whites (1,519.3 and 173.6 cases per 100,000, respectively) (source link).
Many people who have chlamydia do not know they are infected. It is estimated that the true number of new chlamydia cases occurring each year is around 2.8 million, most of which are not diagnosed. Increased availability of urine testing is hoped to increase the number of men tested for chlamydia (source link). More information:
The stats show that you should probably avoid fornication, if not for your soul’s sake, at least for your health’s. In these last and evil days, it’s extremely likely for anyone having premarital sex to contract something. Condoms don’t protect you. This is serious stuff. And just because she says she’s a Christian doesn’t lessen your chances. If you’re fornicating, you’re at risk, especially in the black community.
Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body (1 Corinthians 6:18).

Thank you brother i have come across your teachings and im even feel to cry simple because i have sin against the holy father JEHOVAH GOD who has save my life many times instead of me to praise God i sin against God through fornication .So please remember me in your prayers and ask forgiveness for me because i need to wash and become clean by his holy spirit amen.

Harry, I’ll put you on the prayer list as well. But you’re going to have to ask God for forgiveness yourself. He’ll do it, if you really agree and acknowledge that you’ve sinned (1 John 1:9). Then he’ll wash it clean. I understand your situation, I too felt this way about sexual sin, but the Lord can deliver me as he did me. Trust him, he wants to set you free.
