In this teaching, we will be looking at a subject that is rarely (if ever) preached on in modern-day churches: the sexual prohibitions outlined in Leviticus 18 & 20. This is a very important study, especially needed by Christians in the time we live in today. Truly, much of the Body of Christ is being destroyed for lack of knowledge due to not knowing the material covered in this teaching.
Unfortunately, there are many things that modern-day Christians are doing—many times unknowingly—that are affecting them adversely both spiritually and physically. Much of what we will discuss was common knowledge up to 50 years ago but has been slowly repressed since then. We will examine the shocking full definitions of sodomy, fornication, and intercourse, along with the New Testament texts some use to justify any sexual actions regarding the marriage bed.
We will also see how, biblically, these types of sins defile a person in ways that other sins do not.
Sexual Prohibitions: What Satan Doesn't Want YOU to Know!
"If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me." (Psalm 66:18)
"Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are." (1 Corinthians 3:16-17)
"What shall we say then? Is the law sin? God forbid. Nay, I had not known sin, but by the law: for I had not known lust, except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet." (Romans 7:7)
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)
Does Hebrews 13:4 allow oral sex among married couples? NO!
How Do Sexual Sins Defile and Ruin a Christian?
"Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18)
Scott A. Johnson states that there is a demonic exchange when you join flesh to flesh. For example, homosexuals were defiled with demons in an early stage in their life.
"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life: To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent." (Proverbs 6:23-29)
"But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul." (Proverbs 6:32)
"With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks." (Proverbs 7:21-22)
"Let not thine heart decline to her ways, go not astray in her paths. For she hath cast down many wounded: yea, many strong men have been slain by her. Her house is the way to hell, going down to the chambers of death." (Proverbs 7:25-27)
Seven Classifications of Sexual Sins
1. Incest
"None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD." (Leviticus 18:6-18)
"And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death. And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:11)
2. Adultery
"Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her." (Leviticus 18:20)
"And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death." (Leviticus 20:10)
3. Self Gratification
"And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed to thy brother. And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also." (Genesis 38:9-10)
This refers to masturbation. Think about how the angels witness these acts.
"Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul." (1 Peter 2:11)
4. Homosexuality
"If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." (Leviticus 20:13)
5. Bestiality
"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." (Leviticus 18:23-25)
6. Abortion
"And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Again, thou shalt say to the children of Israel, Whosoever he be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech; he shall surely be put to death." (Leviticus 20:1-5)
This study aims to restore biblical knowledge that has been lost over time, urging Christians to follow the Word of God in every aspect of life, especially in matters of sexual purity.
