Fornication Pt.3
Proverbs 5 - Understanding Sex
Before I finalize the last part of this series, I want to explain what actually happens during sex. Many don’t really have a clear understanding of it. Here is what the scriptures have to say:
Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
(1 Corinthians 6:15)
To be a true Christian is to be apart of Christ. As a member, you make up a portion and a percentage of Christ’s body. Likewise, to have sex with someone is to make yourself a percentage, a portion, and a member of them. A club has many members, but there is one club. Paul is saying: Should you, after being apart of the club of Jesus, become apart of the club of Harlotry? “Certainly not!”.
Or do you not know that he who is joined to a harlot is one body with her? For “the two,” He says, “shall become one flesh.” But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him. (1 Corinthians 6:16-17)
The membership that takes place during sex is two ways. The man becomes a member of the woman’s club, and the woman becomes a member of the man’s club. Both become a percentage of the other. 50% + 50% = 100% or 40% + 60% = 100%. Together, they equal one flesh.
The “club” is the soul. When you have sex, part of your soul is transferred to the person you have sex with, and you receive a part of them. A fraction of your soul is broken off and exchanged for a portion of your partner’s soul. The soul is made up of the mind, will and emotions. So, sexual activity exchanges the mind, will and emotions of both participants.
Building unity
Sex was designed for pleasure, reproduction, and to bring married couples closer together. Sex brings about a union. Other words for union are: coalition, junction, oneness, and club. The Lord does the same with us, he doesn’t have sex with us, but he creates a junction with us through our obedience:
Jesus replied: If anyone loves me, they will obey me. Then my Father will love them, and we will come to them and live in them (John 14:23 CEV). Stay joined to me, and I will stay joined to you … (John 15:4 CEV). There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus … (Romans 8:1)
As you can see from the above scriptures, sex produces the same results as obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ. The result is a “coalition” and a “oneness”. A part of us becomes apart of God, and apart of God becomes apart of us. “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him” (1 Cor 6:17). Likewise, with sex, two souls, become one whole.
Fragmenting the soul
I don’t know how much of a person’s soul is actually exchanged through sex, I’m just using fractions to illustrate the reality of sex and fornication as it was revealed to me.
As a virgin, let’s say I’m 100% me. If I have sex with Keisha, now I’ve given her 10% of me. I’m still a whole human being, physically, but my soul is made up of 10% Keisha and 90% me. My soul isn’t whole. So, I have 10% of Keisha’s mind, will and emotions (in whatever condition they may be in). The more I have sex with Keisha, the more of her emotions, will and mind I’ll get and vice versa. Old married couples think alike for this reason.
So now, I’m 90% me and 10% Keisha – assuming Keisha was a virgin too. If Keisha wasn’t a virgin, I would get a portion of Keisha and a portion of Cortes (Keisha’s other “boyfriend”). Now I’ve got 5% Keisha and 5% Cortes in me. Now, if I have sex with more women – you do the math. Can you see the problem with fornication?
