I think there is a hidden corruption in the church. There needs to be reformation. It is the selling of salvation through the
activity of sex. I think this could be
the reason why people claim rape so much in the general church of the people of
God. I think there needs to be
reformation in spiritual salvation in the Protestant and Catholic
churches. I think Luther and Calvin were
right in their interpretation of grace alone, faith alone, Christ alone,
Scripture alone and to God be the glory alone.
I think Calvin was right in understanding of total depravity,
unconditional election, particular redemption, irresistible grace and
preservation of the saints. I think the
reason why people do this is because of their spiritual condition of spiritual
insanity (cf. 1 Corinthians 2:14). There is no way that spiritual salvation can
be granted through the activity of sex.
It may well be an excuse to have sex or to rape someone. Again, there must be reformation. People do not talk about this in the church
but if someone is a victim of it they may know.
If someone adds sex to spiritual salvation, it is under the anathema of
God (cf. Galatians 1:8-11). There is no
good reason for rape against anyone.
Look what happened to Peter when he added to the gospel in what Paul
said to him,
“But
when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed. For before that
certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come,
he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the
circumcision. And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch
that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation. But when I saw that
they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto
Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of
Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as
do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of
the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus
Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works
of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. But if, while we
seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is
therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid. For if I build again
the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor. For I through the
law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God. I am crucified with
Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life
which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved
me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness
come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.”
(Galatians 2:11-21).
We ought not to add to the gospel
no matter what it is. The gospel is
freedom from works and sin, because it is about Christ and what He has done for
us in our place. The gospel is about the
loving of Christ toward us through His life and death alone. There is no doubt that someone unsaved should
do whatever they can to belong to Christ.
That is why Jesus will say, “Do you want all your sin to mean that you
want to belong to me?” The answer to
this, is “yes, Lord.” But adding to the
gospel is a grave sin that Rome has already done but in our society so has some of the
Protestants. I do not know who they are
by name but I think by way of experience they have perverted the gospel and
defiled the Word of God like Rome has already done by her additions to the gospel. I call those who have done this to people to
“stop!” and “repent!” and love your neighbor as yourself.
But I am not saying that this is the answer to everyone’s case, but I am
saying that I know of those who do this behind the scene. People ought to wish one another the peace of
the Lord and stop harming one another in the name of Jesus. I know there is a cult also that gets things
through sex from a god of Hinduism; that is, the Bible renders such things as
rebellion as witchcraft. This also is a
kind of spiritual insanity that is not spoken about in our modern world in
public. It is a heresy and must be
avoided at all costs. The Bible calls
all people to repentance and faith; that is, people ought to ask for
forgiveness for their sins to the God of the Bible. There is forgiveness alone through Him
alone. People should get things from God
the Trinity by prayer and supplication no matter how long it takes but not
through sexual favors. God works all
things out for our good because we love Him.
If someone has failed and committed sin, God will still work out ALL things
for our good (cf. Romans 8:28). This is the hope we have in Christ because
we love God by His Spirit and Word. “If
any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha”
(1 Corinthians 16:22). Amen.
Everyone who has this sin but trusted Christ has His white robes of
unified merit upon them and the peace of God through Jesus Christ our Lord and
Savior (Romans 5:1). However, we should
not sin that grace may abound (Romans 6:1-3).
“As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the
servants of God” (1 Peter 2:16). We ought to pursue the fruits of the Spirit
(Galatians 5ff). The people of God
should not be caught up with sexual activity outside of marriage. We are to be a holy people unto the Lord and
not a worker of iniquity. We ought to
practice the Ten Commandments and remember “Thou shalt not commit
adultery.” If we understand this in the
board context of the commandment, we would understand that it refers to all
sexual uncleanness. It simply means that
we should avoid it but repent when we fall into any sex lust. Therefore we ought not to add sex to the
gospel. Amen.
