our salvation, by Paul saying “All things are permissible” (1 Corinthians
6:12) means I can fornicate as a Christian; doesn’t it? One person remarked "And as Paul said, 'All things are permissible,
but not all things are profitable.' So is committing fornication permissible?
YES. Is it profitable? No, it isn't." What is wrong with you people, some things should be inherently known.
We know that fornication is not profitable or permissible by commandment.
The Old and New Testament repeats this hundreds of times. What Paul was
saying it that as a human we can do what the body desires, it is permissible
in that nothing is holding you back from doing it, you have the ability
- a penis or a vagina - but should you? The answer is clearly NO! Paul
went into several verse outlining this. He said, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall
not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators,
nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves
with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers,
nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some
of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified
in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God" (1 Cor
6:9-11). And even further down he said, "Flee fornication. Every sin
that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication
sinneth against his own body. What? know ye not that your body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye
are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God
in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor 6:18-20). The same goes for all sins. |
