What's the Dumbest Sin of All? (I Cor. 6:18-20)

November 16

Last everning I attended a men's bible study where we discussed Samson's bent toward sexual immorality. I know most Christians believe all sin is equal. Of course, that is preposterous, but I understand where they get that idea. Their pastors tell them it's so, so they believe it. First, allow me to admit that all sin is alike in the one sense that it is sin (generically speaking) which resulted in man’s separation from God. But the suggestion that all sin is alike comes from the desire to believe sin is why we go to hell for eternity. That is the most universal and least biblical thought I can imagine. No man, woman, or child goes to hell just because he or she was born with a nature to sin. No man is able to fix that problem. Man is doomed to live separated from His Creator because His Creator is holy and cannot fellowship with unholiness. That is a truism with which no sane man would argue. It is one of the most basic tenets of scripture, and Romans 3 makes it clear no man, without intermention by God, will choose to do good. 

The problem with concluding that is why man goes to hell upon death is that it leaves out the entirely historical and biblical fact that God began making the way for sinful man to regain complete
unhindered fellowship with Him immediately after the first sin engaged by Adam and Eve. Man will be rewarded in eternity (both in heaven and in hell) for the deeds he has done in the body. That truism includes both those bound for the kingdom of God and those bound for hell (II Cor. 5:10 Rev. 20:12). Therefore, the dumbest sin of all is that sin which one commits against his own body. I Corinthians 6:18-20 tells us what that sin is, “Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body.” I wrote a book called The Great Conspiracy. In it I outline the incredibly effective tactic used by Satan today to destroy the fabric of America culture. He has convinced millions in America that things like premarital sex and living together out of wedlock are good ways to test out whether or not two people are compatible.

First of all, allow me to point out there are no couples, assuming it is a man and a woman, who are incompatible sexually.  Please trust me when I tell you there is no such thing as bad sex when it is engaged by a man and a woman who are married and who are following the biblical mandates about sex (I Cor. 7). Living together out of wedlock has very little to offer in spite of what the devil would like you to believe. Most of those who do it end up divorcing anyway when they marry. It only means if one of the spouses dies, there will be no guarantees of inheritance by the surviving spouse. The idea that it prevents the tragic divorce is utterly without merit. Whether a couple is married or not has nothing to do with the incredible emptiness each feels when he/she is, all of a sudden rent from the one he/one once slept beside each night, shared dreams and trials, and engaged in sex, the most sacred act created by our Father in heaven.

There is a solemn warning found in I Corinthians 3:16, 17, “Do you not know that you are a
temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are.” Then in I Corinthians 7:9 we read, “But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn.” And I Thessalonians 4:3-5, “For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God.”

Satan is the great conspirator who has devised the plan to destroy the traditional family in America. At this very moment Congress is enacting legislation to make hate crimes including any preaching that declares things like premarital cohabitation and homosexuality a felony punishable by imprisonment
and huge fines. Already many have been arrested for engaging in counter demonstrations by gays who are publicly defaming the minds and hearts of our children committing lustful acts publicly without any intervention on the part of law enforcement. It seems even our legal system is more afraid of the ACLU than it is of God. Our Constitution says nothing about people being allowed to publicly demonstrate their homosexual bent. It is an affront to God He is not going to continue to tolerate. He will bring this country to its knees one way or the other. And that’s His word for us today.
