Do people who fornicate get punished for their sins?
Aside from the obvious things like STDs and unplanned pregnancy, do people who fornicate suffer any emotional damage or any feeling of emptiness?
It seems like everyone (including many married people) is having sex outside of marriage these days.
What is a Christian to do?
You know the answer to that user.
Yes.
I have a friend who needs to fornicate for the fleeting feeling of masculinity.
he goes home and he's there by himself again.
not to mention it causes one-sided attachment very often where one partner doesn't care for the other, causing the other to have great feelings of inadequacy.
and, of course, there is Hell.
Fornicators cannot stay monogamous. They see divorce and disintegration of their families instead of pure love. That is the price they pay. For this reason, as WELL as offending God by futile sin, I will not fornicate. Will you join me?
Of course. People are taught that they can use sex like a drug to fill the void in their lives left from living without God. It doesn't work. Depleting their sexual energy keeps them in a lower state of awareness, and their appetites provides Satan with a lever to move them with.
Christians are meant to walk the narrow path shown by Jesus Christ. It's not easy. Many will be deceived. We must aspire to be in the world, but not of the world.
We often say that sleeping around causes women to lose their ability to pair-bond, but the truth is, it also causes MEN to lose their ability to pair bond, albeit slightly less. See the graphic.
It's also an issue that King Solomon had to deal with, he took on so many wives and concubines that he had no capacity to pair bond whatsoever, so he wrote about his inability to find a righteous lady.
It's like if you have 100 golden retriever puppies vs 1. 1 Golden Retriever puppy is awesome, it's your best friend, but a 100 would turn out to be a nightmare, Solomon ultimately compounded David's sin of taken on too many wives, and paid the price for shattering his ability to pair-bond, which caused a lot of grief to Israel after he died since he took on the ways of his Pagan wives and pissed God off.
Additionally, those women that you fornicate with will go on to have children and NOBODY wants a slut for a mom. You are essentially eating the next generation alive by committing women to fornication, thereby fulfilling the scenarios like this that Ezekiel describes:
The next generation are the sons that you're eating alive by whoring out their mothers; do NOT do that to women, nor to their sons by commiting their mothers to sin. Treat women like you would treat a daughter, you do not whore your daughter out, and honestly I suspect that much of the west's inability to enforce our borders is a result of fornication. Our nation is our daughter and we commit her to whoredom because we commit our own daughters to whoredom.
What goes around ALWAYS comes around, as it is God's way of correcting us, fornication will always manifest and explode in your face sooner or later.
If it's fornication in the lifestyle sense, it will confuse their emotions with the opposite gender, and will more or less have a guaranted divorce in the future.
Yes. Lust is a bottomless pit. It is an animal desire that will never be fulfilled and leaves us with emptiness in the soul. That is why Paul tells us to take a wife if we are want to fall into immortality.
Sex with “birth control” of any sort takes away the creative ability God gave us and replaces it with Satanic mutual mastrubation.
Not to mention it being:
1) harmful coming with bad effects on the user's emotional balance
2)A way to make you no different than a homo or a sterile person
3)Jewish weapon against birth rates. People started using birth control and fornicating, and look at Europe now. Demography is a weapon
This is a rather good point. Why waste your energy time on things that will never give you satisfaction?
Instead of spending on things that give you satisfaction?
Your time and energy are limited, use them wisely
I’m glad some voices of reason agree. The contraception industry makes absurd amounts of money to perpetuate sterility.
Already there with you. I pray to the Lord to bless respectively with a beautiful, faithful virgin woman to be out respective wives.
as I get older, the likelihood of me having a virgin wife decreases.
but likelihood is easily thwarted by God, so who knows.
I'll pray for you as well.
That's a big strech…yet I actually believe it because there are often times said that how a national leader ules their familial life is reflected on how they run a country.
I have a question. What's the justification in the bible for a virgin wife? I'm not doubting it I just want to know where I can refer to in future debates (or when someone asks me why I have no gf).
It doesnt tell you to get a VIRGIN wife specifically..but we use common sense:
It's a dismal literature, to borrow a Jordan Petersonism, but yeah, common sense And Ecclesiastes 7:26
Beyond the statistics, it desensitizes you. Whether it's your sweetheart after prom, your bride on your wedding night, or a cheap hooker, you will never forget your first, but the more people you have sex with, the less special each one will be until it becomes a purely physical act. Look at people who have lots of sexual partners and want to convince you there's nothing wrong with that. They always talk about it as if it's a purely physical act, because to them, it is.
As God intended, though, it is a deeply spiritual act of bonding with your wife, of the two coming together with the end result being a new person mixed from the previous two. Satan cannot create, but he can corrupt, typically by removing love. Having sex outside of marriage is an extremely selfish act. Even if you're convinced you "LOVE" the person you're having sex with, you're not loving her enough to wait until marriage, and even if you set that aside, you two are so eager to get that physical pleasure that you will not set up the bear minimum needed to give the resulting child a real shot at life. Once love is removed from sex, it's nothing more than a drug, a releasing of chemicals for the purpose of feeling good, and like all drugs, it has diminishing returns. Love doesn't have diminishing returns, and only by making it a true act of love (and not the pale imitation society calls love) can you eliminate diminishing returns.
Man, these statistics made me feel awful for my chance at finding a proper wife.
Meanwhile, I feel envious of all these people committing fornication. I hate feeling this way. It makes me sad to see people fornicating left and right and facing no major punishments.
Im seriously considering living a single and celibate life. Just gotta knock out that nasty porn habit.
With all of the people who just dont care for God's commandments, its almost asking for trouble to date.
Those statistics show that they do get major punishments, but in a subtle form of psychological pain and distress.
The marketing agencies that make fortunes for anti conceptives ofc will hide this.
Also this. Basically Christianity defends a form of "Sacred Sex", while modernity wants a form of "Mechanical sex", as if each act was just as the next unit being processed in the factory.
Plus fornication is never ending lust, you will spend huge amounts of energy, time and money while never feeling ever lasting satisfaction.
With God every thing is possible becen in decadent times, but seeing this society is disheartening
thats a redpill right there. Just like homosexuality only became accepted after condoms made sex sterile and turned the avg normie into a sexual deviant/fornicator.
And leftism is about bitterly hating everything strong, good and successful in the world. That's why they hate whites, men, western civilization and America.
We are footsoldiers of the Lord in a great spiritual struggle against sin.
I didn't think about this, but I did now….
…What IS the Biblical punishment for fornication anyways?
Given NT, it's open for debate.
Okay then…What is the Old Testament punishment?
Probably stoning or having to marry her, depending on circumstances
Fornication was punishable by death? What?
Only if one of the fornicators was married or betrothed. If you were caught fornicating and neither person was spoken for, they had to get married.
Also bear in mind that the penalties in the OT law were not required. The judges and priests had the option of reducing the sentence.
Do all unsaved fornicators get punished justly?
Christ is the judge, and He knows every inch of every man's heart, and more. so yes, they will get judged justly, just as anyone else whom will be judged.
yes. since the New Israel is now the Church, those guilty of fornication will be slain, and by slain, we mean thrown into Hell.
the Israel of the Old Testament, aside from being a real, physical kingdom at that time, was a prefigurement of the eternal kingdom where Christ reigns, which is Heaven
open for debate for fornicators on earth (st. aquinas argued that's the privilege of the state to decide), but for heaven, there will be no fornicators whom did not repent
At the end of the day, if you become promiscuous, sex becomes masturbation with another person's body instead of being a unifying act of love
Sure. Apart from risking your eternal soul you may become a manwhore who cannot form bond to any woman because you seek novelty. When you become tired of constant novelty you become a spiritual trash that a good woman would not want. As the other user pointed out whoring is masturbation with another person's body. The fruits of lust may seem fresh and juicy, when you taste them it's just ashes and coals that burn your mouth.
Do not do it. It is not worth it
Frankly, if God is too much of a coward to step up and take responsibility for his actions and his followers are more than happy to enable his reckless behaviour under the common argument "muh free will exonerates God", why should I, or anyone, even bother following the impotent retard?
I see now why the kikes laugh at Christianity. It's a joke religion predicated entirely behind 'Heaven on a Stick,' don't mess up or you're going to suffer for eternity! This farce is unnecessary.
I spit on god.
Really just think about it. If your son murdered his brother then of course he should be punished. But wouldn't you contemplate your failures as a father?
God isn't infallible, so why would I follow him?
