Exposed, part 1, What was God thinking?

This is the first part in the series called Exposed, which is all about God's truth and plan for sex and dating.

WHAT WAS GOD THINKING?
We started off by talking about sex as a gift that God has given us, but the world has distorted.
Here is an outline of our time together.

2 MYTHS about SEX

Myth #1: Sex is WRONG
God created sex and here is what the Bible has to say about things God created.
For everything God created is good… (1 Timothy 4:4)

Myth #2: Sex is LIMITLESS
Don't use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God
(1 Thessalonians 4:5)

The REALITY IS, GOD MEANT SEX FOR GOOD, BUT IT HAS BEEN TWISTED AND MADE BAD.

What was God's plan for sex?

Intended for a MAN and WOMAN
So God created human beings in his image. In the image of God he created them. He created them male and female. God blessed them and said, "Have many children and grow in number. Fill the earth… (Genesis 1:27-28)

This may seem pretty obvious but not really in this day in age. We did a brief talk about homosexuality and that fact that it's a sin, but still doesn't give us the right to tease people or make fun of people who are struggling with it. It's a sin just like having sex before marriage is a sin. Both are not part of God's plan.

Intended for MARRIAGE
So a man will leave his father and mother and be united with his wife, and the two will become one body (Genesis 2:24).

Marriage should be honored by everyone, and husband and wife should keep their marriage pure. God will judge as guilty those who take part in sexual sins
(Hebrews 13:4).
