Sex in marriage was Gods plan

It was Gods plan to create us male and female; it was also His plan that we would have sex (in marriage) in order for us to enjoy it and to procreate.

Sadly, the devil has taken that which God created and saw that it was good and has turned it into an instrument for his evil devices. Many parents today will not discuss sex with their children because they fear that this may lead the minors into premarital sexual experiences. But we have the responsibility to educate and inform our children on sexuality within marriage so that they will not make mistakes. Genesis 1 tells us that God created us in His own image and likeness, and that both men and women are of equal value and worth before Him. In Genesis 2 we see God affirming the rightness of marriage and the positive value of sexual intercourse within marriage. His first command to people in Genesis 1 was Be fruitful and in the second chapter of that book we see that marriage comes first in Gods plan when He says Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother

Within marriage, sex is a wonderful gift of Go our Creator. That is why the Song of Songs comes in the heart of the Bible. It is an amazing love story set in poetry. It is celebration of human sexuality and an affirmation of Gods approval of sex. Ephesians 5:31-32 raises sex to much higher level when Paul likens marriage to the relationship between Christ and the church. It is the clearest parallel God could give us. This basically means that we must never be guilty of abusing this wonderful gift of God to us. We must not offer the devil our bodies for him to abuse them. Sex is for love and not for money or some other material gain.

It is Gods plan that children are born into a loving home and brought up in a secure environment. This is another reason why sex in marriage is good. Malachi 2:15 states, Has not the Lord made them one? In flesh and in spirit they are His. And why one? Because He was seeking godly offspring. When we begin to see the positive value of sex and sexuality, we can also understand why the wrong use of sex is so harmful to individuals and society. Although sex outside marriage has always been condemned by the church, it is not an unforgiveable sin. Rather it is the spiritual significance of sex and the bondage that comes from its misuse that makes the whole sexual arena a prime spiritual battle ground.

Good parents will infuse these values about sexuality and sex into their children at an early stage. We need to ensure that our children respect their bodies as holy unto the Lord. Their bodies are not toys that can be played with by some secret lover whether before or after marriage. The one that I have committed myself to is the only one who has the right to touch and play with my body. It is someone I am one flesh with and not anybody else. The act of sex in a marriage should result in the two married people getting closer to each other rather than drifting further apart. Sex within marriage does not result in the guilt feeling on the part of the lovers. Sex outside of marriage will always generate a feeling of guilt even though some people have seriously blunted their conscience to the extent that rather than feel guilty after a sexual encounter with someone other than their spouse, they feel victorious, they have conquered, they have achieved. But it is a hollow victory.

DEM SEH LIVITY DEH A ROAD A TRUE?

Kingston businessman Patrick Powell, who is charged with the murder of 17-year-old Kingston College student Kajheel Mais, is to appear in court today 4-13-2012.

Powell will appear on the charge of failure to produce a firearm for inspection.

However, the trial on the firearm charge has been put on hold pending the outcome of the murder case which is now before the Home Circuit Court.

Mais was shot dead on July 1, last when the driver of a BMW X6 reportedly opened fire on the taxi in which he was travelling after it bumped into the sport utility vehicle.

A day after the killing, Powell left the island to the United States.

However, on July 11, last year he returned to the island and surrendered to the police at the Norman Manley International Airport.

The businessman was asked to surrender his licensed firearm for inspection and forensic analysis but he allegedly refused to do so.
