Sin & Sex 25 min. read back to extracts index
The Bible has some ambiguous statements for which we hope, after contemplating these pages, the readers gain a fresh understanding.
Before considering how sin is related to sex we should understand Adam's birth & the infusion into him of "the breath of life." along with...
...some of God's interventions regarding other special conceptions that are mentioned in the Bible.
Genesis 17 verse 16... Sarah was childless until she was 90 years old. God promised Abraham that she would be a mother. He doubted his own vitality and the infertility of his wife.
Because she laughed at the idea of having a baby at her age God told her she must name the child Isaac.
The name means "laughter."... He became a patriarch of the Jewish people.
Genesis 29 verse 31... "When the LORD saw that Leah was not loved, he enabled her to conceive."...
Her sons Levi & Judah both the priestly (Levite) & royal (Judahite) tribes in Israel.
1 Samuel 1 verse 5... But to Hannah he gave a double portion because he loved her, and the LORD had closed her womb. Hannah gave birth to a son.
She named him Samuel, saying, "Because I asked the Lord for him"...
...He was the last judge of Israel & the first of the prophets after Moses.
Judges 13 verse 2... You are barren and childless, but you are going to become pregnant and give birth to a son. It is he who shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines...
His name was Samson.
Luke 1 verse 6... The birth of John the Baptist was a miracle because his mother Elizabeth was 88 years old, his father Zechariah was 99.
John was 28 when his mother died. His father died aged 127.
It has been stated they had help from the angel Gabriel to conceive.
Luke 6 verse 25... “The Lord has done this for me,” she said... John was an only child.
Zechariah was subsequently rendered deaf & mute before his wife's conception & remained that way until after the birth. Some reports say a year after the birth.
It was said he was afflicted this way because he did not believe but one might correctly assume it was also to prevent him speaking & responding when questioned as to exactly how Gabriel made Elizabeth pregnant...
Jesus said. "John himself is Elijah who was to come".
The birth of Jesus, as we know, was also a conception that did not involve sexual intercourse.
However as we now know today artificial insemination is possible & it could have been the case that both Mary & Joseph were placed into a trance like state where Joseph's sperm could have been used & inserted without completely breaking the hymen of Mary.
Had Joseph's sperm been used it would have meant, for some, Jesus was the true King of The Jews because the lineage required by prophecy would have been fulfilled.
As Jesus' biological father was said to be unknown the Jewish community was split with a small group becoming Christians while the larger group demanded His crucifixion.
The question is why was it important for all those special conceptions to have also seemingly occurred without sexual intercourse ?
It also raises the question...
Originally did God even want Adam & his descendants to procreate as a result of sex ?
There were other ways to procreate.
Neither Jesus' or Eve's births were as a result of copulation.
What about all of those other special conceptions previously mentioned...
...Did they all have sex to conceive ?
The Biblical interpretation of when & how Adam was created is based on the notion that he was the first human.
However, in all likelihood, it was referring to him being the first to be given a soul / spirit of God's highest strength or quality. (a Hu Man)
Modern man Evolved over 600,000 years from dust in accordance to the Supreme God's original designs.
Adam would have to have been the first Hu Man to be born without sex being involved - the same immaculate conception as was Jesus & others that God had a special plan for the offspring.
Adam, was a virgin man aged 30, given a higher soul.
The Lord God's intervention with design changes & a higher soul / spirit that took place, starting with Adam, between 9,000 to 12,000 years ago...
Genesis 2 verse 7...Then the LORD God formed the man from the dust.
According to religious text a male attains his full maturity at age 30.
That would have been the age when the Lord God introduced Adam's higher soul / spirit into his body.
A virgin man that God caused to evolve from the earth.
In a census 1 Chronicles 23 verse 3 Levite men were numbered from thirty years old & upward.
Corinthians 15 verse 45. So it is written: “The first man" Adam became a living being... a hu man being.
He was certainly not the only human at that time.
Adam's mission was to help create a heaven here on earth.
Matthew 6 verse 10... "Let your Kingdom come. Let your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth."
There is no sex in heaven.
Therefore procreation on earth would NOT have required sexual intercourse.
Matthew 22 verse 30... "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven."
1 John 2 verse 16... “For everything in the world – the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life – comes NOT from the Father but from the world".
Galatians 5 verse 13... "You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love".
Galatians 5 verse 16... “This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that you cannot do the things that you would”
One of the first Christian founding fathers was Saint Augustine.
He was made the patron Saint of Theologians & insisted that...
..."the guilt of the first sin is transmitted, through sexual intercourse, to all generations”
There are those that argue the first sin was disobeying God & not the eating of the fruit (a euphemism for having sex ?) however others see the disobedience as an aberration.
Had Eve committed murder, after eating the fruit, the sin would be the murder not the disobedience.
It seems relevant, when the Bible talks so much about let the punishment fit the crime, i.e. an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth, that Eve should get great pains by giving birth after gaining pleasure by indulging in the fruits of the flesh.
They were both warned their punishment for partaking of the fruit was the loss of everlasting life on earth.
So where was the reasoning of 'adding' to Eve's punishment by giving her pain while giving birth if partaking of the fruits had nothing to do with sex ?
In addition if the fruits had nothing to do with sex why did they cover their now used genitals with leaves after tasting the so called fruit ?...
...Because they were ashamed they had used their genitals for pleasure.
Had Eve not done anything after eating the fruit & everything was just the same as before then how could the disobedience have been considered a sin ?
Had Eve killed Adam after partaking of the fruit how could the disobedience have been considered the sin ?
From wikipedia.org "It is called "sin" only in an analogical sense: it is a sin 'contracted' and not 'committed' - a state and not an act" (Catechism of the Catholic ...Original Sin (disambiguation)
The explanation by Wikipedia & many others in qualifying the original sin as the disobedience was assigned by the Catholic Church leaders as it would encourage Catholic followers having less sex & fewer children if sex was considered a sin.
Adam would have been taught how to procreate, at the right time, without the use of sex. The same way as he was created maybe or the same way Eve came into being.
He needed a helper in tending to the garden.
Genesis 2 verse 20 ..."But for Adam no suitable helper was found".
Another reference regarding other people besides only Adam in the world at that time.
The Bible did not say he needed a mate so that they could copulate.
Had Eve not convinced Adam to partake in the fruits of the flesh they would have both been instructed as to how to procreate without having sex.
Both Adam & Eve would have thought that procreation for them was different from the animals because of their own experiences regarding their introduction into the world.
The punishment for Eve, because of partaking of the fruit, not for the disobedience, was making her have pains in childbearing.
Genesis 3 verse 16 "with painful labor you will give birth to children".
Here we must conclude had she NOT indulged herself in the fruits of the flesh she would not have had to give birth to children with pain like the animals.
This punishment would only mean something to her if she had a prior understanding that for her having a baby was NOT going to be a birth from the womb after sex.
This was the case with all the animals; where the mothers, as seen by both Adam & Eve, all experience pain, some indeed dying from the pain while birthing.
Neither Adam or Eve would have desired sex when there was no DNA from their mother or father influencing their psyche.
Having sex causes desire & desire leads to every sin.
Because of Satan's corruption the desire for sex is today in the DNA of all people as a result we are all born with 'the original sin'.
The recognition of this corruption, that was the cause of all sins, prompted the need for a savior.
Desire is the root of all evil.
When common sense is used one can only conclude God did NOT intend, want or have as His first plan for Adam or Eve to have sex because of not only that previously mentioned but also because of the following Biblical statements...
Sex is forbidden between close kinship as mentioned in...
Leviticus 18 verse 7... & 20 verse 11
Considering Eve was a clone from Adam there is no closer kinship.
Galatians 5 verse 16 "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh".
"Do on earth as is done in heaven".
There is no sex in heaven.
"Celibacy serves as such an objective mark of special state & ritual purity.
Celibacy probably is derived from taboos that regarded sexual power as a rival to religious power, & the sexuality of the opposite sex as a polluting factor, especially in sacred or crisis situations".
Most religions demand that devotees practice celibacy.
There are 43 Bible Verses about 'Evil Desires'
God called Eve a helper & not Adam’s wife.
Adam & Eve were not married before they indulged in the fruits of the flesh.
They did not have sex in order to procreate.
God called Eve Adam's wife only after they partook of the fruits.
If God had wanted people to have sex to reproduce why did He not allow sexual intercourse between Joseph & Mary to conceive Jesus ?
Likewise with all those other previously mentioned special conceptions that God had important plans for the offspring.
Why was God upset at the fallen angels having sex with women if they were being fruitful & multiplying ?
God said for Adam & Eve to multiply but when they had sex God banished them.
These are maybe other indications that God wanted people to multiply but not via sexual intercourse.
Romans 5 verse 12..."Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all people, because all sinned."—
Psalm 51 verse 5, “I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me”.
Some ask why did God give Adam, Eve & mankind genitals if He did not want us to use them.
A good question for which there may be more than one answer but first here is the most likely reason...
Just in case something went wrong with His first plan, the non sexual procreation, as indeed it did because of Satan's interference, then reproduction by sex would be God's second plan.
The Lord God of Earth would have been about to teach Adam & Eve how procreation takes place without having sex when Satan interfered with God's first plan...
Remember Eve was also not born as a result of sex but was cloned from Adam's rib. (God can make DNA as He did with all His creations of the different kinds; as a result cloning any combination is possible for Him).
Neither Adam or Eve would have desired sex when there was no DNA from their mother or father influencing their psyche.
Having sex causes desire & desire leads to sin.
Because of Satan's corruption the desire for sex is today in the DNA of all people as a result we are all born with 'the original sin'.
Please take note...
If Adam was created by The Lord God & did NOT evolve from the earth, as creationists want people to believe, why give him & mankind nipples ?
In addition why did the great works of art, many commissioned by the church, show Adam as having nipples & a navel if they believed Adam was created by God forming his body from mud & not from a female's womb ?
Part of The Supreme God was used in creating Jesus (inherited)... Hebrews 1 verse 4.
The Lord God (Jesus) then passed that inheritance on to Adam referred to as the 'breath of life'- a soul.
It was then passed on to all spirits awaiting incarnation after being born only to those from a direct line of Adam who became, while alive, like Jesus who was the first & last ...
... a life giving spirit.
It could have been that those in heaven once had to have sex to reproduce when they lived in a physical form but it took millions, maybe billions, of years before they moved into the etheric world where reproduction could have been by division.
However the regeneration of sexual organs would still have been possible as a safeguard if their etheric existence became under threat requiring them to revert to living & multiplying in the physical once again...
...One of God's safeguards for continued existence under adverse conditions maybe.
In humans nearly two trillion cells 'divide' every day in order to multiply as do bacteria & viruses.
There are many creatures on earth today that change their sex & some can get pregnant without a partner.
This can & has taken place in humans.
Human parthenogenesis.
This also answers the question how the fallen embodied angels, before & after The Great Flood, had sex with earthly females if while in heaven they had latent sexual organs.
Remember a war in heaven came about when the Lord declared mankind as their finest creation & as such should be honored & served.
Satan said mankind should serve him as he was before them.
Satan convinced one third of heavenly angels to side with his ideas & try to overthrow God.
Satan & his followers arrived in earth many years before Adam & begun to defile all of God's creations by cross breeding & genetically altering not just animals of the land & oceans but plants & much later humans.
Satan & his followers arrived in earth many years before Adam & begun to defile all of God's creations by cross breeding & genetically altering not just animals of the land & oceans but plants & much later humans.
The result of some interbreeding with women were giant men & cross breeding with some animals resulted in demons.
Genesis 6 verse 4..."There were giants on the Earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men and they bore children to them, the same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown."
Keep in mind women impregnated by an angel gave birth to children who grew into giants.
That, according to lateral thinkers, was why Adam was 15 feet tall.
This makes the probability that Adam's father was an angel / or Lord God & his mother was a human virgin credible as that type of interbreeding was the proven way that results in giants being born into the world from an earth female.
Luke 3:38 "the son of Enosh, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God"
One hypothesis is that the trees in Eden were embodied angels.
There to teach by passing on knowledge (fruits).
C&P from City Data.com...
"Someone explained this to me the other day and it does make sense...
The bible never says that Adam and Eve ate an apple, it says they tasted fruit from the tree of knowledge-good and evil.
It was not an evil apple that caused sin on mankind for generations.
Perhaps the fruit that Eve tasted, was Satan tempting Eve with sexual sin, meaning she had sex with the serpent (Satan) in the garden, and then went and had sex with Adam to show him what she had discovered.
When Jesus approached them afterwards, they hid from him because they were naked.
It makes sense that they were now aware of their nakedness after engaging in sexual relations.
Eve then had two sons, one was Cain (who was evil) and the other was Abel (who was good).
Was Cain, then, of Satan's seed and Abel was of Adam's seed ?
Cain is never listed in Adam's genealogy, but is described as "of the evil one".
It seems like the apple story is a better way to explain sin to children, instead of saying...
...Eve had sex with Satan and then went and had sex with Adam and that's why you are a sinner today.
God has used the word "trees" symbolically in the scriptures before to mean people both good and bad ".
The tree of the knowledge of good & evil, some believe was the devil.
Eve taking of the fruits, a euphemism for having sex, that resulting in her getting pregnant.
This gives further credence that not only was the fruits from the trees about sex the father of Cain was probably NOT Adam.
God's plan for His creations on this earthly plane was for man to evolve into a higher state without sex for reproduction.
This way fast tracking the process of untainted souls entering back into heaven with an enriched & more powerful soul force.
1 John 2 verse 15... Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Souls could not & cannot go into the highest of the heavens having a desire for the physical in any way, shape or form.
Doubtless many of those in heaven once not only had life in the physical plane but also had sex organs for reproduction.
However after eons they became enlightened that sexual desire was holding back the development of their higher selves' progression in the after life & that reproduction in their physical realm developed to test tube babies causing, over time, latent reproduction organs.
After Adam evolved from the earth (ground) he was placed in a garden in Eden to isolate him from the outside world ensuring against contamination of his DNA by indulging in the pleasures of the body as others were doing outside Eden.
Genesis 2 verse 8... After God made the man form from the earth (evolved) "in Eden He put the man".
Genesis 2 verse 15... "The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden".
He made Adam & Eve without sexual involvement so that the desire for sex was not in their minds, psyche or in their DNA.
Desire is the root of all evil.
When common sense is used one can only conclude God did NOT intend, want or have as His first plan for Adam or Eve to have sex because of not only that previously mentioned but also because of the following Biblical statements...
Sex is forbidden between close kinship as mentioned in Leviticus 18 verse 6... & considering Eve was a clone from Adam there is no closer kinship.
"Celibacy serves as such an objective mark of special state & ritual purity.
Celibacy probably is derived from taboos that regarded sexual power as a rival to religious power, & the sexuality of the opposite sex as a polluting factor, especially in sacred or crisis situations".
Most religions demand that devotees practice celibacy.
Galatians 5 verse 16... "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh".
"Do on earth as is done in heaven".
There is no sex in heaven.
The tree of the knowledge of good & evil, some believe was the devil.
Eve taking of the fruits was a euphemism for having sex that resulting in her getting pregnant.
Satan ruined God's first plan especially when fallen embodied Angels (before & after The Great Flood) developed their latent sexual organs & enjoyed the fruits of the flesh & entered into earthly women.
Genesis 2 verse 25... Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.
After partaking of the fruit.
Genesis 3 verse 10... I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.
Sex had opened their eyes to the knowledge of good & evil.
They realized that being naked in front of God would reveal their involvement with sex via the exposure of the changes to their now used genitals & as such took tree leaves to cover those changes.
It could not have been...
The Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence Creator God because He would not need to ask...
"Where are you" ?
"What have you done" ?
"Who told you you were naked" ?
"Did you eat the fruit " ?
Please take note City Data as stated above... it was Jesus that approached them after partaking of the fruits of the flesh NOT God.
The Supreme Creator God left Jesus to finish His work.
Matthew 22 verse 30 Jesus said... At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Meaning there is no sex in heaven.
Psalm 51 verse 5, “I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me”.
It is doubtful that Satan was in the Garden of Eden but it would more likely have been one of the fallen angels that left with Satan when he was cast out of heaven.
This angel was described as being a serpent.
The only fossilized snake that had four stumpy legs became extinct 20 million years ago.
The definition of a serpent is often, more so in early days...
..."a sly or treacherous person, especially one who exploits a position of trust in order to betray it."
Had the serpent been like a snake what sort of curse was it to crawl on its belly for the rest of its days if that was what it did before ?
In addition how could it have been Satan if after the curse he was later never depicted as a snake crawling around on his belly for the rest of his days ?
Satan ruined God's first plan especially when fallen embodied Angels (before & after The Great Flood) developed their latent sexual organs & enjoyed the fruits of the flesh & entered into earthly women.
Once His first plan was undermined The Supreme God of Creation would have had to leave the Earthly realm, as suggested in City Data.com above, when it states 'Jesus approached them afterwards' & not God.
It was at this time, when Adam and Eve fell from grace, were banished from the garden, that they & all future humans would need a savior.
God's plan for His creations on this earthly plane, & still is, was for souls to evolve into a higher state without sex for reproduction.
This way fast tracking the process of untainted souls entering back into heaven with an enriched & more powerful soul force.
1 John 2 verse 15 ...Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Souls could not & cannot go into the highest of the heavens having a desire for the physical in any way, shape or form.
Doubtless many of those in heaven once not only had life in the physical plane but also had sex organs for reproduction.
However after eons they became enlightened that sexual desire was holding back the development of their higher selves' progression in the after life.
As a result reproduction in their physical realm developed to test tube babies causing, over time, latent reproduction organs.
Eve was an afterthought & was created because Adam “needed a helper” & “because he was lonely”…
…not because he needed to have sex when procreation on earth, for them both, was known to be without sex…
We must learn to discern if we want to understand the truth.
Ask yourself ...
Why did God make Adam, Eve, Jesus & other great people of notoriety without the use of sex.
WHY ? Because sex is / was seen as the originator of sinfulness.
That does not mean we should all stop having sex but the way of conception is changing...
It does not matter if you are a heterosexual couple LGBTIQA or if you enjoy masturbation as far as the deity is concerned all sexual activity is just like any other sin.
However people will not be punished for sin.
The following metaphor explains why...
A person is driving a car down the road when they run into a crowd of people injuring & killing many.
The judge finds the driver not guilty when the defense lawyer presents evidence the brakes were faulty.
All humans have a faulty psyche due to the contamination of our DNA by a trick Satan caused.
Jesus became our defense lawyer.
With some even if a sinner does not regret their sins God may still forgive them & their only correction will be to return the soul to the level they came from.
In some Jewish scriptures it states we all have up to *1000 lives* to become free of sin.
Corinthians 11 verse 14... "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light".
Corinthians 2 verse 11... "He is so eloquent, so persuasive in his lies, we are so gullible, that "we fall for his schemes."
It must be taken into consideration the devil tricked people by pretending to be God or an angel, as was said to be the case with Muhammad. "Satanic Verses."
In Sura Hajj (Pilgrimage) 22:52-53... "Muhammad confessed his mistake, alleging that all prophets were tempted by Satan who inspire them with demonic verses, as if they were actually revealed by God".
Satan tells us lies.
We fall for his schemes...
Would you agree that among Satan's scheming he would include pretending to be God ?
John 8 verse 44... "for he is a liar and the father of lies".
One has to learn to discern reference to God maybe either the spirit of Jesus yet to be incarnate & learning to be like God ...
or Satan assuming the role of God, angels speaking or acting on behalf of God, Jesus incarnate, fallen angels working on behalf of Satan, misinterpretation, mistranslation or religious leaders lying to better their own agendas.
The Supreme Creator God should have be used in the Bible for the reader to be able to distinguish between...
The Supreme Creator God, God, god, lord, Lord, Lord God & LORD God.
It is obvious, at times, the transcribers / authors of the Bible often wrote God when it should have clearly been Lord God & vice versa albeit those errors were deliberate or not.
Note : The Jewish Bible did not have capital letters. The first King James Bible of 1611 did not capitalized pronouns.
Meaning that we should be aware that the capitalization was of mankind's doing who's motives may have been to influence people to believe a certain way in order to bolster belief for political reasons.
As such in order to Evolve & Grow readers should learn to discern for true understanding.
As far as sin is concerned the Bottom Line is ...
It doesn't matter if you are heterosexual LGBTIQA or if you indulge in masturbation as far as the deity is concerned all sexual activity is just like any other sin.
However people will not be punished for sin.
The following metaphor explains why...
...A person is driving a car down the road when they run into a crowd of people injuring and killing many.
The judge finds the driver not guilty when the defense lawyer presents evidence the brakes were faulty.
All humans have a faulty psyche, that usually, adversely, affects the soul.
This faulty contamination gets impregnated within our DNA when conception comes about via sexual intercourse.
The adulteration was instigated because of the deception perpetrated by Satan.
Jesus became our defense lawyer.
The anointed one, our Savior, who takes away all manner of sins.
Even when sinners do not regret their sins God may still forgive.
With most others the correction is hoped to come about after their souls gravitate back to a life on the same or a lower level as was their last incarnation. Reincarnation.
Jesus describes how the soul will feel because of its return or demotion to earth as being like going into the valley of Hinnom.
Hell is a place for fallen angels & not for those with The Lord God of Earth's given soul.
Hell, for the human body & soul, is a state of mind.
Birth is a traumatic experience. Whereas dying, for most, is tranquil.
After the end of this era, on judgement day, lost souls will receive a cleansing.
Baptism is an earthly symbolic representation of the heavenly cleansing.
It is only by the grace of God everything, including evolution, exists.
Evolution was integrated within creation all as a part of His Divine plan.
Thank YOU.
