fornication is not a sin in the bible.....Only adultery is.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (KJV)
9 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,
10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.



Brother,
We may fight, kick and scream (in protest) over what God has commanded in His Word...but it is His Word and nothing we can do or say will ever change what He has said.


Romans 6:23 (KJV)

“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Please if what you just said is true,then why is Apostle Paul still struggling with SINFUL desires? Romans 7:13-25 And why didn't this Apostle who was DIRECTLY called and ANOINTED by Jesus Christ Himself just cast out the demons causing humans to sin? God bless you Sir!

Romans 7 : 13 - 25 describes Apostle Paul's experience before he met the Lord Jesus. Romans 8:1 will help you realize this fact

Read the 10 commandments.

Exodus 20:14 (KJV)
14 Thou shalt not commit adultery

You are correct brother...."adultery" is listed in the 10 commandments.
Sexual immorality includes a myriad of sins....including (adultery, fornication, sexual perversion, homosexuality etc.)
Fornication is a form of "adultery" when the person one may engage in pre-marital sex with is not the God-ordained person for him/her.
See that's the beauty of God's Word...
A verse in the Old Testament can further be explained in the New Testament.
He will further specifies exactly what He means..so there's no confusion.

1 Corinthians 9 (KJV)

His Word never contradicts itself.....

Theres no fornication in the 10 commandment.


Fornication is not a form of adultery. Adultery has its own separate meaning n fornication has its separate meaning. don't try to mix dem.

Why SOME Christians still fornicate. YOU CANNOT KILL THE FLESH YOU CAN ONLY DENY IT. Are you struggling with carnality as a believer.

If you are a Christian please read this carefully. These are the reasons why some Christians still fornicate and masturbate EVEN AFTER praying.
When you got born again it is only your spirit that got saved, your body and your mind remained the same.
So you need to Renew your mind by Gods word daily and apply it always to put your body under subjection, otherwise you will see yourself doing what you don’t want to do. Romans 12 vs. 1 and 2.
Your mind changes gradually with constant renewal, don’t let the devil distract you from reading the bible everyday.

You must know that you cannot kill the flesh but you can deny it daily from getting what it likes. Until it submits to the spirit which is the master.
You must keep the right company, evil communication CURRUPTS good manners; it is easier for the world to win you than for you to win them.

Don’t allow your mind to be blank at anytime or idle. Practice constant meditation even the Buddhist and Hindus know the power of meditation.
Mind what you look at even if you see a nude photo please do not look back at it again, that is where you ALWAYS slip, LOOKING A SECOND TIME.
Believe that it is only the Blood of Jesus that can help you. So use it EVERY time.
Temptations are real; it is not bad, but you can build a capacity to neutralize it by living the scriptures.
Don’t regret your mistake for long because you will go back again stand up and move on, you will not fall again.
Don’t try to conquer fornication it is stronger than you, don’t resist it flee from it. You can resist the devil but you must flee fornication, run like Joseph did when tempted by potiphars wife. Do not be like Samson that thought physical might can help him with Delilah.

God does not test you with the devils tool, So God cannot lead you into temptation, it was what you use to like when you were still in the world that the devil uses to entice you. You are tempted when you are drawn to your own lust.

It is easier for your past to hunt you but focus your mind more on your future, from the pages of SCRIPTURES.
Do not celebrate the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life.
Do not be self righteous, see your righteousness as that of God and His mercies, do not condemn your neighbor living in sin.

Know that anytime you sin something in you dies so by the reason of the blood I command every dead thing to rise up, I prophesy your permanent deliverance, no more rising and falling, it is now rising and rising the path of the just is like a shiny light that shines more and more. Proverbs 4 vs. 23 Rejoice.

Finally don’t start your day without the word and prayers no matter the haste.

there will always be desire as long as we are still alive.the flesh will always desire sinful things .But when demons is present,it multiply that desire a thousand time's,making it impossible to resist the urge.Thats why majority of born again cry after the act.only to do it again and again.cast out those demos and you will be able to resist the desire and urge

Apostle Paul was not struggling with sin after he became born again, it was before he did. Read that passage very well bro and stop justifying sin

So does that mean that from the time of Moses wen 10 commandments was written till the book of Timothy was written (which took more than 2000 years), It was not a sin for unmarried people to have sex with each other??

Mat 5:18-19


Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

You think that demons are responsible for our enjoyment of sex? What a sad day for biology teachers. When your female cat is in heat and all the male cats in the neighborhood converge on your compound, is that demonic too? Perhaps we owe demons a great debt for making us enjoy doing what we need to do for the survival of our species.
