just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

That above is what the abominable things were according to scripture

You have problem with comprehension. Ezekiel text shows that the destruction of S n G isn't ONLY about sexual sins

Ezekiel lists a number of sins, and then says an abominable sin.

The Corinth church did not commit only sexual immorality, but Paul asked them to banish the sexually immoral from their midst, and admonished those with other offenses to change.

Ezekiel mentions a couple of sins, and then adds that there was an abominable sin ( almost avoiding to mention it). But Jude goes directly to the abominable sin. Even the people of Sodom and Gomorrah sort to assault angels sent by God.

Jude explains the abominable sin, so I'll quote it again.

just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. Jude 1:7

God wants us to flee from sexual sins. Banishes a sexually immoral person from being a pastor or an elder (see Titus and Timothy)

I am not ready to trivialise what God hates. His word says flee fornication.

All who go on sinning whether sexual sin or any other sin, without remorse or true repentance will in the end face God wrath.

Hopefully we both are on the path that Christ and the apostles have set for us to follow.

They say two heads are better than one. You have a wife means you two can team up to find jobs each and share responsibilities both in and out of the house to support yourselves and your kid. That makes your case a lot better than that of a lone single person who has absolutely no form of support. undecided

I just don't get it. I mean if you aint extra, extra careful, you'll easily fall.

Someone who I know to be fervent in spirit just fell because of that same sin.
I'm not judging, I'm just curious. Why?
Question of the day - How do you resist the temptation?

Devil's greatest weapon is Deception. Any thing just to make you disobey God.

Whatever is your weakness, he simply glorifies/magnifies/amplifies it as if it is the most important thing and desirable thing.

1. For some, sexual discipline is a natural gift they are just naturally not moved by sex. So that's not his greatest weapon against them. Whatever their weakness is what he exploits. However everyone can still be tempted sexually just when they start boasting about it.

2. For most of us yes, sexual sin is a major weapon. The first solution is to know it is your weakness. It can take you to hell fire and it can destroy your present and future.
The fear of God , the Love of God and the knowledge of the consequences of sexual immorality actually helps me. I don't believe anyone should boast that they cannot fall into sexual sin or any other sin, cos all we have is the Grace of God.

3. Sexual sin is actually quite a betrayal to God because our body is not ours but His. And sexual sin is what the bible calls an internal sin unlike other external sins. Like if you've received the Holy Spirit, then you body is now the temple/house/dwelling of God. How then can you share that same body with an ungodly body. Mixing the Holy Spirit with unclean spirit(s). It's quite deep.

4. Knowledge with Understanfing really is every thing.
Hosea 4:6. Ignorance or inadequate knowledge is why so many keep falling to these sins.
Unfortunately so many churches do not preach the significance of Sin and walking in Holiness through the Knowldge of the Righteoness of Christ we have received.

5. You should intercede for him in prayers if he means much to you.
Encourage him not to feel condemned. He simply needs to repent and rededicate himself to Christ.
He should search for scriptures that about sin, fear of God and sexual immorality. He really has to be intentional about it and fast if need be. The Holy Spirit knows how to lead him in this.
Some times God takes it away immediately. Some times it's gradual depending on the how much of a stronghold it is. He will suddenly realise God has taken it away.

Picking verses out of context to assert meanings different from those intended by the writer is not my forte. Look at what Paul wrote in that first verse you quote. Does sinning against your own body mean you sin against God? Is God your body? If you are not aware... the obvious answer to that question is NO. And there is nothing spiritual about your body which is instead ruled over by your mind. undecided

The problem with a lot of you religious folks is you hesitate to apply your mental abilities but are all too willing to accept any story/tale fed to you by others whom you worship instead. Read what Jesus Christ said in John 8 vs 31 - 44 about how to overcome sin in order to realize that in addition to understanding — engaging your mental ability to reason — you also need to develop your mind's ability to control and discipline your thoughts if you are ever to overcome temptation. These are common sense things even those who don't believe in God do. If you cannot at least commit in that way, abandon God entirely. undecided

Your keyword is body, mine is in the distinction made between fornication and other sins.
"...every sin... but"
This is where I need you to look at.

Fornication is a sin against God, you know it and I know it.

It should even be another interesting point, the fact that fornication is both a sin against God as well as one against the human body.

Point out other verses you have issues with.

2. Wrong! Fornication isn't a sin against God. Instead, as Paul alluded, it is sin against your body—yourself. Why? Because Jesus Christ rather said the sin against God is adultery - Matthew 5 vs 27 -28. And if you pay close attention to what Jesus Christ said of it, you will see that it has nothing to do with any of what you assert as it is a sin born out of your mind. undecided

You can't resist the temptation without discipline and being Vitaly connected to God through consistent prayers and study of the Word.

Be conscious of your triggers and set good principles to combat them.

Its a serious battle which should be fought well armed with the Armour of God.

Sexual sin has destroyed many, destinies have been wasted, glory disappeared. Go ask Samson, David etcetera. As powerful as Satan is, Holy writ says he should be resisted but we should flee fornication.
Nonsense! Read all of what Paul said to better understand what he is in fact telling you rather than making silly assertions regarding what you do not clearly understand. undecided

phemmyfour:
Same way you should run away from other sins. That scripture you quoted only described the difference between sexual sins and others. It did not place sexual sins higher than others.

If you fail in one...you have failed in all.

James 2:10
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it

Prov 6:16-19
Even sexual sin didn't make the list below

There are six things the Lord hates,
seven that are detestable to him:
17 haughty eyes,
a lying tongue,
hands that shed innocent blood,
18 a heart that devises wicked schemes,
feet that are quick to rush into evil,
19 a false witness who pours out lies
and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.


Now, let's look at Bible character that committed sexual sins that God still consider them great

Abraham slept with his maid: God referred to him as a man faith

David slept with Bathsheba : God called him " A man after my heart "

Rahab the Harlot: Slotted in the genealogy of Jesus

Those 3 names you mentioned are good examples, however, you have to NOTE that they did not continue in their sexual sinful life. Infact, Abraham and David fell only once, then Rahab after contact with God's people didn't remain a harlot. Infact she got married. One may mistakenly fall into sexual sin once and needs to repent, but continuing in it with same partner or having other body counts is wrong.
Re: Why Is Sexual Sin Devil's Most Powerful Weapon? by CENI: 5:08am On Sep 11, 2023
My take is this: Anyone indulging in sexual sin of any kind should repent TODAY and sin no more, less something terrible befalls him/her. That was Jesus advice to the woman caught in adultery. John 8 vs. 11

You have it all twisted up in knots. Abraham, David and Solomon were righteous men of God -- they were first holy and the approved righteous by God Himself before the events in question. God always forgives the righteous their sins the moment they ask it of him. However, righteousness is not a ticket to sin freely as sin in the case of Solomon. undecided

By the way, God does not answer the prayers and petitions of the unrighteous. Even their requests for forgiveness go unanswered by God who said their requests and prayers are an abomination to Him. So, before you go comparing yourself and situation with those who has favor with God , make sure you are at least first Holy and Righteous to begin with. undecided

The argument wasn't about whether they continued in their sexual sin. It's to emphasize the fact that God forgives sexual sins

Kobojunkie:
There is absolutely no truth to the claim that sexual sin is the devil's most powerful weapon. That idea came from the mouths of men like you to deceive and control your lives and minds. Look at how they have gone ahead to convince you that it is instead when you have sex to procreate and increase the population in their church business that you are rewarded. When in fact God put a curse on your marriages and even on childbearing in Genesis 3 vs 16 . undecided

2. You resist the temptation to have sex the same way a Buddhist monk or even an asexual who may even be an atheist does, and that is through self-control and self-discipline. If you are not able to work hard in that area of your life, then I suggest you forget about God and His demands and live your life as you will — assuming of course you have never been born of water and born of the Spirit of Eternal Life. undecided

Oppression and wickedness are the devil's most powerful weapon, sex is overrated.

Even in sex, when you start weaponizing sex, using it to oppress or take advantage and subjecting the other party to wicked sexual procedures or not accepting and taking full responsibility for any sexual act, that is the real sin.
