Once again I attended my church, Mars Hill, and got a great message that I wanted to share with everyone. Rob talked about sex. YAY! He went into what it's about being married, in a relationship, and when you're single. He believes that the world is undersexed. You don't have to be engaging in sex to be a sexual person. Someone once said that Mother Theresa was very sexual and it showed in her love for the poor. When someone is sexual, they are connected to God, the Universe and everything around them.
In Creation, Genesis, Adam and Eve were connected to God, each other, and the world around them. They felt no shame because they had that connection. After they ate from the forbidden tree everything crashed. They became disconnected from God, each other and the physical environment.
Revelation 22
The River of Life
1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.
In this verse it shows how things become reconnected at some point.
The word Sex comes from the latin word secare. It means to cut off, sever, disconnect from the hole.
Words that come from this are section, bisect, sector...ect.
In Ephesians it says that God is one God, over all, in all and through all. You have to have full contact with faith. This goes back to being sexual.
If you are married and have sex it says in the bible that you have not sinned. If you are in a relationship and are having sex you are connecting with eachother on a level that is disconnecting you from the rest of the world. Where do you want to commit with that person? If you're going to engage in sex then you are committing to marriage. Some people don't see sex as a vast connection with God but he created us, so that's what it is.
There is an inner longing planted deep within every human being to get along. We long to be connect to the world around us. Because there are those connections clashing with eachother there are going to be many troubles for a couple not married, engaging in sex. Sex is meant to connect you with God, not connect you with your significant other. There has to be humility and patience in waiting.
For a church sex means connecting with those around you. Colossians 3 says to forgive as the lord forgives you. If a person can forgive others they will become more connected with God, the community, ect.
To feel sexy is to feel good in your own skin.
