We're better off loving the truth because many will be damned because they did not have a love of thy truth. I remind you that hell is eternal and it exists.
We have to remember to honor God in our bodies and it's our reasonable service but we have a natural tendency where the flesh rises up. We have to crucify and put it to death. In other words you should not be masturbating or thinking sexual thoughts or even putting into our minds images of sexual innuendos as the world does this which is not the way of God. This is yet why there are so many abortions where people can't control their flesh. When two people get married they become one flesh.
They now become one entity (a married couple). But a lot of people that aren't true believers live as sexual beings. I remember a counterfeit believer growing up would ask me why don't your sisters wear sexy nylons/cloths and do these things in essence and I was young and stupid not understanding these things. This is fornication and this is forbidden as a woman is to dress modestly and not as a whore. I'll be honest when you see pretty women at beauty pageants and they're using their vanity to assess their inner selves they are far from the mark of God. This is a form of idolatry. This honors the flesh when their inner spirit maybe as dirty as those Pharisees were where Christ called them whitewashed tombs. We are to crucify the flesh and not follow this way at all. The bed of a married couple that belongs to the true God is to be undefiled. So we have to put our minds on things that are of God. God created sex to bear children not for fornication. Porn leads to hell as it is evil in the sight of God. People who commit aneous acts of rape and all sorts of fornication might suffer eternal damnation eventually unrepentant. Christ said even looking at a woman with lust which men do even woman they've already committed adultery with them in their heart. Matthew 5:28 The reason I wrote this is because I've seen Christians write that they struggle with this. Some brothers who have ministries talk about who they were before they became true believers and how Christ delivered them out of that. A lot of counterfeit believers are still in the flesh of sin. They don't produce the works/fruit of the spirit but they actually produce the works of the flesh. God is a holy God and he cannot stand sin. We should remember the sacrifice of the Lord and what he had to suffer what we deserve and we deserve eternal damnation. Without the shedding of blood there would be no forgiveness of sins. Let's be honest the Bible says the devil was the most beautiful created cherubim angel and pride was found in him. He became prideful in his own vanity. It's easy to do. When sin is done with you it brings shame. It might start out harmless but in the end it destroys you. It's like alcohol. A lot of alcoholics don't see themselves as that. Truly people are plugged into all the wrong ways that God hates because it's sin. This is why God highly esteems a God-fearing woman because God does tell us to fear him and of course perfect love casts out fear but that's not the same thing. I found a very good article that's reasonable that might help you. I'm going to leave the link below. Our words have meaning and consequences. Jesus said turn the other cheek which even sometimes true Christians might slide on. You see we have to rebuke with long suffering at times because we have to protect what God has given us. But we have to use discretion and wisdom. You can murder somebody with your words and the tongue is a poison set on fire of the flames of hell. You're better off learning how to overcome this in this life. No wonder it's enmity to befriend the world. James 4:4 February 19th 2023 3:44 a.m.
In my after notes and after thoughts you must pray for each other consistently. You see it's important for preachers to remind even true believers that the flesh needs to be crucified and your thoughts need to be renewed and set on things that be of God. The only thing we are to worship as commanded is the true God. We are not to worship people which people do of course.
