Bible Note: teragram123 I have to agree with Borgain on this one. Many people do not understand all the ramifications the act of sex carries. When two people come together both in virginity and have sex they have been bonded physically, emotionally and spiritually and that bond just doesn’t go away. I believe that bond is the same and every bit as strong as one formed in the initial act in the wedding bed. I believe that is how God designed it and I think this is what God intended. This is a problem today many young and for that matter older people do not understand everything that takes place in that initial act of sex. They think they can run from one person to another with impunity, unfortunately for them, it does not work that way. They soon start having problems and can’t seem to figure what is wrong. What is wrong they have bonded themselves to one person and are now outside that bond committing acts of adultery. They are reaping sorrows of adultery. They are outside both man’s law and God’s law and nothing will be quite right. What develops are unhealthy relationships. Soon they have no respect for others or themselves. Their relationship with God if they had one deteriorates. Life loses it meaning. They then start looking for answers in all the wrong places. And the rest of the story is written in our newspaper’s headlines everyday. Sex is a very serious act. It bonds two people together and that bond lasts a life time. EdB |
