Kekotoran seksual dalam gereja banyak menceritakan tentang keadaan gereja. Adakah normal bahawa najis seksual (tidak bermoral seksual) takes place in the church and that not only church visitors and members of the congregation walk in sexual uncleanness, but also the elders and pastors of the church? What does the Bible say about sexual uncleanness; has the will of God changed and does God approve of sexual uncleanness in the church or not?
Is it true that the law doesn’t matter?
The law doesn’t matter is what many Christians believe and say. They are right, and yet they are wrong. Kerana seperti yang ditulis sebelumnya, what law are they talking about? We no longer live under the law of Moses, but through the deliverance in Christ, we live under the law of the Spirit of life, in which the same will of God (as in the law of Moses) reigns.
Selain itu, sin didn’t come through the law. But through the law of Moses, which represents God’s will and His holiness and righteousness, sin is revealed.
Sin already existed before the coming of the law of Moses. Dari saat Adam berdosa, sin reigns as king in the life of (jatuh)lelaki.
For whom was the law of Moses intended?
The law of Moses was intended for the carnal people of God, yang dilahirkan dari benih Israel (Jacob) and lived from a fallen state in a sinful flesh under the authority of the law of sin and death.
The law of Moses was a schoolmaster for the flesh of man and kept the people through obedience to the law.
God revealed His holiness and righteousness in the law of Moses.
He revealed what it meant to live holy and righteous in the ways of God.
God also revealed what He abhorred and were an abomination to Him, like idolatry, Sihir, uncleanness seksual, perceraian, kemarahan, berbohong, menipu, mencuri, membunuh, Dll.
The Lord God revealed it all through His word to Moses and is written in the law of Moses.
Why did God describe the wicked works, which were an abomination to Him, in the law of Moses?
God described the wicked works, which were an abomination to Him, in the law of Moses, and made His will known concerning these works, because the Gentiles practiced these unclean works.
Both the Gentiles in the land of Egypte, where they lived 430 years and God delivered them from slavery, and the Gentiles in the land of Canaan, where the Lord would bring them to, committed all these abominations.
They served idols, dan mempraktikkan ilmu sihir, divination and other occult practices, and walked in sexual uncleanness.
But all these works were not of God! God made this very clear through His word and engraved His word in the law, yang diberikan-Nya kepada Musa.
God forbade His people to do the abominable works of the Gentiles
Semua orang, yang dilahirkan dari benih Israel, were expected to keep themselves from the abominable works of the Gentiles.
God’s people promised that they would obey His word and keep His law and commandments and live holy and righteous before the presences of their Lord God.
Akulah Tuhan Tuhanmu. After the doings (perbuatan) of the land of Egypt, wherein ye dwelt, shall ye not do: and after the doings of the land of Canaan whither I bring you, shall ye not do: neither shall ye walk in their ordinances (statutes). Ye shall do My judgments and keep Mine ordinances, to walk therein: Akulah Tuhan Tuhanmu. You shall therefore keep My statutes, and My judgments: which if a man do, he shall live in them: Saya Tuan (Imamat 18:1-5)
What is man’s promise worth?
But it didn’t take long before the Israelites rejected the schoolmaster, which kept the people save, and left God’s way. They relied on their own insight and went their own way.
And so the Israelites walked as the Gentiles in disobedience to God in the imagination of their hati jahat.
They adopted the abominations of the Gentiles. And through their idolatry and abominations they not only denied and mocked their God but they defiled His Name.
They had forgotten and abandoned their God, Who delivered them and led them to the promised land.
And although they looked religious from the outside and went to the temple to practice the rituals, sacrifices and keep the feasts, their hearts were far away from God.
They did all these abominations from their wicked heart, that was far away from God, before the presence of the Lord of lords.
They even set their abominations in the house, which was called by the Lord’s Name, and defiled it (Oh. Yeremia 23:10-14, Yehezkiel 5:11).
And so they committed the same abominations as the Gentiles, which God forbade them to do.
And God, Yang suci dan benar, dealt with His people according to His word. Because God said in advance, what would happen if they left His words, perintah, and way.
The sexual uncleanness in the world
One of the abominations of the Gentiles (the wicked or ungodly, yang kepunyaan dunia) was sexual uncleanness.
This sexual uncleanness derives from the sinful flesh and is controlled by the devil (the fallen arch angel and the father and ruler of fallen man and prince of this world) dan syaitan (the other fallen angels).
God forbade His people to partake of the sexual uncleanness in the world
God had chosen His people, and delivered and purchased them and made a covenant with them. Israel was unlike the other nations, because Israel was chosen by God.
The Israelites were holy, set apart from the Gentiles, dan milik Tuhan, Who is holy.
Therefore God said to His chosen people, be holy because I am holy.
By walking holy and righteous in obedience to God’s word and keeping His commandments, the Israelites represented their holy and righteous God, and differentiated themselves from the pagan nations on earth.
God warned His people and commanded His people to not defile themselves with sexual uncleanness, wherein the Gentiles walked.
Itu, lelaki tua itu, who is trapped in a sinful flesh, has the power to resist temptations and abstain from sexual uncleanness.
What sexual uncleanness was an abomination to God?
The sexual uncleanness that was an abomination to God and was practiced by the Gentiles, who didn’t know God, contained, dalam kalangan yang lain, uncovering the nakedness of family members (relatives), sumbang mahram, perzinaan, zina, hubungan homoseksual, bestiality (sexual intercourse with animals (Oh. Imamat 18; 20)).
Due to the wickedness and sexual uncleanness of the inhabitants, the land was defiled and God could visit the iniquity of the inhabitants and legally cast them out of the land. Jadi itu, God’s people could take the land and dwell in the land of Canaan.
All these things were practiced in the world. Namun begitu, God didn’t want His people to defile themselves with these things.
But it happened time and time again that Gods people disobeyed God’s Word and deviated from perintahNya and committed the abominations of the Gentiles. Dan ini masih berlaku hari ini.
Dalam perjanjian baru, the same sexual uncleanness occurs in God’s church
Despite the New Covenant, that came through -and in Jesus Christ and is sealed with His blood, and the change of nature and healed position (negeri) of man through regeneration in Christ, the same sexual uncleanness, which is abominable to God, occurs in God’s church, whereof Jesus is the Head.
Ramai orang, who call themselves Christians and go to church, walk in sexual uncleanness.
They live like the world and uncover themselves in front of others without any shame.
They watch secular television programs and movies, which originate from a perverse spirit, in which people uncover themselves, lay in bed with each other, fornicate, melakukan perzinaan, and have sexual relationships or homosexual relationships, and are partakers of their works.
Mereka (secretly) Tonton lucah dan melakukan perzinaan (if they’re married) and/or have sex with themselves (melancap).
They fornicate and cheat on their wife or husband and commit adultery.
They go to prostitutes and pay them to satisfy their carnal sexual lusts.
Mereka Hidup bersama belum berkahwin. or have sexual relationships orhubungan homoseksual.
And then there are people, who sexually abuse children or have sexual relationships with animals and consider it normal
All these sexual uncleanness takes place in the church, and are practiced by people, who say they believe and are born again and have the Holy Spirit abiding in them.
Tetapi orang, who do these things or practice other sexual impurities, bukan milik Tuhan. They are not born again and don’t have the Holy Spirit abiding in them and they don’t walk as victors in the spiritual armor of God.
Is it normal that Christians walk in sexual uncleanness (tidak bermoral seksual)?
Tidak, it’s not normal that Christians walk in sexual uncleanness. Every spirit that promotes fornication and other sexual uncleanness is not of God and shall never be of God.
God is very clear that sexual uncleanness is an abomination to Him. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are also very clear about it (Oh. Matthew 5:27-30; Perbuatan 13:20; 15:28-29; orang Rom 1:18-32; 1 Korintus 6:9-20; Galatia 5:19; Efesus 5:7; 1 John 3:9; 5:18; Wahyu 2:18).
Sexual uncleanness is a fruit of sinners and not of saints. Sexual immorality takes place in the world (Kerajaan Kegelapan) and not in God’s Kingdom and His Church.
If people have become the new creation and the Spirit of God abides in them, they will not walk in sexual uncleanness.
Sebuah gereja, where these abominations are practiced by the church members or church leaders, is not spiritual and doesn’t belong to Jesus Christ, but the ruler of the world, syaitan. The church is a carnal church that belongs to the devil and where the spirit of the world and of the antichrist reigns and the Kerja Daging are done.
The spirit of the world and of the antichrist that reigns in many lives, doesn’t submit to God and His Word and doesn’t obey His commandments, tetapi bangga, rebellious and cause people to walk in the lusts and desires of the sinful flesh.
The spirit of the world is unclean and resists against every word and commandment of Jesus Christ.
Pastors and elders, who walk in sexual uncleanness defile the church
Pastors or elders of a church, who walk in sexual uncleanness not only defile themselves, but the whole church (jemaah).
Not only shall the congregation be defiled by this unclean spirit, but this unclean spirit shall enter the lives of the church members and cause them to walk in sexual uncleanness.
Dan bukan itu sahaja. Through sexual uncleanness the pastors or elders defile the Name of God and His Son Jesus Christ and despise the Holy Spirit.
Itu (moral) laws of God are settled forever
Itu spirit realm is real dan (moral)laws of God are settled forever. Orang, who believe and are born of God and have His nature shall not live like the Gentiles in darkness and shall not walk in sexual uncleanness.
As soon as you believe, bertaubat, dan dilahirkan semula dan Roh Kudus diam di dalam kamu, anda akan hidup secara berbeza.
You shall submit to the Head Jesus Christ and obey His words and keep His commandments, even when you don’t feel like it and your flesh wants or says something else.
Did Jesus walk in sexual uncleanness? Tidak, Jesus walked after the Spirit in obedience to God in His will. If Jesus is the Head of the church (perhimpunan orang beriman yang dilahirkan semula) and His Spirit abides in the new creation, then the church shall also not walk in sexual uncleanness.
Sexual uncleanness is the fruit of the sinful flesh
Sexual uncleanness is not a fruit of the Spirit, but the fruit of the sinful flesh. Sexual uncleanness derives from the sinful flesh of the old creation, who died in Christ (melalui penjanaan semula), and must be put off.
Dalam perjanjian baru, Paul mentioned sexual uncleanness as works of the flesh that must be put off, yang mana: perzinaan, zina (even the thought of adultery), Kekotoran, Lasciviousness, pedofilia, Kehomoseksualan (1 Korintus 6:10-11; Galatia 5:2-11; Kolose 3:5-6; 1 Tesalonika 4:3-5).
Bible Scriptures about sexual uncleanness in the church and the will of God
Jangan tertipu: tidak juga pezina, mahupun penyembah berhala, mahupun penzina, mahupun perempuan, dan tidak pula menganiaya diri mereka dengan manusia, Atau pencuri, dan tidak covetous, Nor Drunkards, Nor Revilers, atau tidak peduli, akan mewarisi Kerajaan Allah. Dan begitulah sebahagian daripada kamu: tetapi kamu telah dibasuh, Tetapi kamu dikuduskan, Tetapi kamu dibenarkan atas nama Tuhan Yesus, Dan oleh Roh Tuhan kita (1 Korintus 6:9-11).
Now the body is not for fornication, Tetapi bagi Tuhan; and the Lord for the body (1 Korintus 6:13).
Oleh itu, azab anggota-anggotamu yang ada di bumi; perzinaan, Kekotoran, kasih sayang yang berlebihan, koncupiscence jahat, dan ketamakan, yang merupakan penyembahan berhala: Untuk perkara yang mana’ demi kemurkaan Tuhan datang ke atas anak-anak ketidaktaatan: Di mana kamu juga berjalan beberapa lama, ketika kamu tinggal di dalamnya (Kolose 3:5-6)
Kerana ini adalah kehendak Tuhan, malah pengudusan anda, supaya kamu menjauhi zina: Supaya setiap orang di antara kamu mengetahui cara memiliki bejananya dalam kesucian dan kehormatan; Bukan pada nafsu nafsu, sama seperti orang bukan Yahudi yang tidak mengenal Tuhan (1 Tesalonika 4:3-5)
As God made it clear in the Old Covenant through the law of Moses and the prophets, that whosoever of His congregation committed these abomination, not pleased Him but sinned against Him and were cut off and didn’t enter His rest, Jesus also made it clear in the New Covenant through His word and the Holy Spirit and the apostles semua orang, who commit these abominations shall not enter His Kingdom and inherit eternal life.
You can listen to preachers and adopt and speak their words and act religiously. And as a preacher, you can copy and preach other people’s sermons, tetapi the fruit of your life proves and shows if you walk after the Spirit in the faith and belong to God and are born of Him or not.
The grace of God and the blood of Jesus Christ are not a license to sin
The grace of God is not a license to sin nor is the blood of Jesus a license to sin.
God’s grace is a gift from God and brings salvation through a real deliverance from the power of sin and death.
The grace of God teaches us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, Kita harus hidup dengan susah payah, righteously and godly, Di dunia sekarang ini.
Jesus gave Himself for humanity, not so that people can live after the flesh in darkness in iniquity and sin, but to redeem people from all iniquity and sin and purify unto Himself orang yang pelik, bersemangat kerja yang baik.
The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses people from all sins and iniquities and justifies people, so that they can walk in newness of life, holy and righteous as obedient sons or daughters of Tuhan, Pencipta Syurga dan Bumi Dan semua ada dalam (Oh. Titus 2:11-14).
Orang, who walk in sexual uncleanness don’t belong to Christ but the world
As long as people are indifferent concerning sexual uncleanness and consider it normal and accept it in the church, and Christians live like the Gentiles in fornication and uncleanness, then this proves that they are carnal and don’t belong to Christ but the world.
They’re not delivered from sin and death, dilahirkan semula, dan disimpan, but they’re bound to sin and death and lost.
These are hard words. But as the wickedness (Ungodliness) increases in the world and even in local churches through the spirit of this world that reigns in the lives of people, and the preaching of a false gospel and false doctrine, the words of God shall be harder to listen to.
Maybe even so hard, that many can’t hear and bear the words of God and walk away, because the words of God oppose their faith, perasaan, pengetahuan, pendapat, and findings.
But God’s Word is clear and forever the truth!
Tetapi zina, dan segala najis, atau ketamakan, jangan sekali-kali disebut di antara kamu, sebagai menjadi orang kudus; Tidak juga kekotoran, mahupun bercakap bodoh, mahupun bergurau, yang tidak selesa: tetapi lebih kepada ucapan terima kasih. Untuk ini kamu tahu, bahawa tiada pelacur, mahupun orang yang najis, mahupun manusia yang tamak, yang menyembah berhala, mempunyai apa-apa warisan dalam kerajaan Kristus dan Allah.
Biarkan tidak ada lelaki yang menipu anda dengan kata -kata sia -sia: kerana perkara-perkara ini datang kemurkaan Tuhan atas anak-anak ketidaktaatan. Janganlah kamu kamu mengambil bahagian dengan mereka. Kerana kamu kadang -kadang kegelapan, Tetapi sekarang kamu terang di dalam Tuhan: Berjalan sebagai anak -anak cahaya: (Kerana buah roh ada dalam kebaikan dan kebenaran dan kebenaran;) Membuktikan apa yang boleh diterima oleh Tuhan. Dan tidak mempunyai persekutuan dengan karya kegelapan yang tidak berbuah, tetapi sebaliknya menafikan mereka
Efesus 5:3-11
‘Jadilah garam bumi’
