When we begin to think soberly about our freaky desires and giving in to lustful temptations and the penalty sin, both here on earth and in eternity. We will develop a healthy fear of the most High Yahuah and a willingness to do what is necessary to bring our flesh under subjection and possess our vessels!
Everything that Paul spoke about in the New Testament was connected to the covenant and commandments in the old testament which he always taught from.
Paul is telling the assembly at Corinth to 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the RUAKH HA’ QODESH which is in you, which ye have of ELOHIM, and ye are not your own? 20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify ELOHIM in your body, and in your ruakh, which are ELOHIM’S.
Paul also mentions fornication among a list of other sins that are considered worthy of death, in Romans 1:28-32 where it reads 28 And even as they did not like to retain ELOHIM in their knowledge, ELOHIM gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; 29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 Backbiters, haters of ELOHIM, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 32 Who knowing the judgment of ELOHIM, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
For these that teach that the law is done away with please let us understand where Paul was teaching from being that there was no new testament at the time. Where Paul was teaching from was the laws that were instruction for us to not commit these sins The following are the commandments that Paul taught from concerning formication.
Deuteronomy 22: 22 If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Yisra’EL. 23 If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; 24 Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. 25 But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: 26 But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: 27 For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. 28 If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;
Deuteronomy 23: 17 There shall be no whore of the daughters of Yisra’EL, nor a sodomite of the sons of Yisra’EL.
Leviticus 18: 22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination. 23 Neither shalt thou lie with any beast to defile thyself therewith: neither shall any woman stand before a beast to lie down thereto: it is confusion. 24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you: 25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.
And as we look at 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 where it reads "9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of ELOHIM? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of ELOHIM." You see here Paul is simply Paraphrasing things he taught from the law. Here he is again in the book of Revelation paraphrasing the Law. Revelation 218 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
We are told in Ecclesiasticus 1: 20 The root of wisdom is to fear YAHOWAH, and the branches thereof are long life. and in Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear ELOHIM, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For ELOHIM shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Now that we know this lets take a sober look at where we are heading when we live in the many lifestyles of formication and seek Yahuah for deliverance. Let us develop a healthy fear of The Most High that we will be granted wisdom and repentance and begin to take ownership of possessing our vessels and doing what it says in Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of ELOHIM, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto ELOHIM, which is your reasonable service. 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of ELOHIM.
