Understanding the Purpose and Power of Men

A Man and His Sex Life

Let me say here that God has created males and fe males to express sexuality in a specific way. God never gave Adam a man; He gave him a woman. God‘s design is male and female; not male and male, or female and female. We can know that homosexuality is not God‘s plan because it does not fit His design. Verse 13 continues, ― And the Lord [is meant] for the body .‖ The Lord made the body for Himself. God is not against your having sex.

If you curse, it is outside the body.‖ You don‘t become one with a person when you slap or curse that person. But when you have sex with a woman, you can‘t separate yourself from her. Remember that sexual inter course is a covenant. Some men can‘t understand how a couple can sleep together for a time, and then, when they both decide to break off the relationship, they have trouble going their separate ways. It is because the separation caus es real trauma in their souls. This is a serious matter. That‘s why relationships outside God‘s plan can be so da ngerous. without sorrow when you follow His plan. In 1 Corinthians 6:15 – 18, Paul also said,
