Sexual Sin, Perversion, and the Word of God: What the Bible Really Says

Written by Dominga | CafeCornerTalk.com

“Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth.” – John 17:17

We are not living in neutral times. We are living in a generation where sin is celebrated and truth is silenced. Sexual sin, especially, has been rebranded, normalized, and protected under the banner of “love,” “freedom,” and “identity.”

But what does God say? Not tradition. Not feelings. Not even what your favorite pastor says.

What does the Word of God actually say?

Let’s go deep, together. No sugar. No fluff. Just truth.

⸻

The Culture vs The Kingdom

Culture says: “Follow your heart.”
God says: “The heart is deceitful above all things” (Jeremiah 17:9).

Culture says: “Love is love.”
God says: “If you love me, keep my commandments” (John 14:15).

Culture says: “This is who I am.”
God says: “You must be born again” (John 3:3).

We cannot follow the crowd and follow Christ at the same time. To be Kingdom is to be set apart — not trendy, not tolerant of sin, not silent in compromise. The Bible says the gate is narrow that leads to life (Matthew 7:14), and few find it.

Defining Sexual Sin

Sexual sin is any sexual act, desire, or identity outside of God’s design between a husband and wife in marriage (Genesis 2:24). It includes:
    •    Fornication (sex before marriage)
    •    Adultery
    •    Homosexuality
    •    Pornography
    •    Lust
    •    Masturbation
    •    Incest
    •    Bestiality
    •    Prostitution
    •    Orgies and unnatural acts (Romans 1)

The issue isn’t sex. God created sex.
But He gave us boundaries to protect us — body, soul, and spirit.

⸻

1. Leviticus 18:22 – “It Is an Abomination”

“Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” (NIV)
“It is an abomination.” (KJV)

The Hebrew word used here for abomination is “to’evah” — meaning something that is morally disgusting, repulsive, and wicked in God’s eyes. This is not a civil law. This is a moral law.

Some argue that this only applies to the Old Testament. But the law of sexual morality is repeated throughout the New Testament, and God does not change (Malachi 3:6).

⸻

2. Romans 1:26–32 – “God Gave Them Over”

“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts…”
“Men committed shameful acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”

Romans 1 is one of the most detailed breakdowns of what happens when a society turns from God:
    1.    They suppress the truth (v.18)
    2.    They worship creation over the Creator (v.25)
    3.    God gives them over to their lusts (v.26)

This isn’t just about homosexuality. This is about rebellion. God gave them over — not because He wanted to — but because they refused to acknowledge Him. And the result? A society filled with perversion, hatred, deceit, and death.

⸻

3. 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 – “Such Were Some of You”

“Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral… nor men who practice homosexuality… will inherit the kingdom of God.”

This verse uses two Greek terms that refer to homosexual behavior:
    •    Malakoi – effeminate, soft, often referring to the passive partner.
    •    Arsenokoitai – a compound word from “arsen” (male) and “koite” (bed), referring directly to men bedding men.

But the beauty of this passage is found in verse 11:

“And such were some of you. But you were washed, sanctified, and justified…”

This proves deliverance is real. People came out of those sins through Jesus Christ. If it wasn’t possible, God wouldn’t say it.

⸻

4. 1 Thessalonians 4:3–5 – Sanctification Is God’s Will

“It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality…”

God’s will is not confusion. It’s not perversion. It’s sanctification — a cleansing, setting apart, and transformation. Sexual sin is not just physical. It damages your spirit and disconnects you from God.

⸻

5. Matthew 5:27–30 – Lust is Adultery in the Heart

“Anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”

Jesus elevated the standard. It’s not just about what you do — it’s about what you think, what you watch, and what you desire. Porn, fantasy, lust — it’s sin even if you never touch someone.

Jesus said it’s better to cut off what causes you to sin than be thrown into hell. That’s how serious it is.

⸻

6. Hebrews 13:4 – Marriage is Honored, Fornicators Judged

“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”

God honors marriage, not sex outside of it. Fornication is not a phase — it’s sin. Sleeping around before marriage, shacking up, or cheating on your spouse will be judged unless repented.

⸻

7. Revelation 21:8 – The Second Death

“But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral… will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death.”

This is not just metaphor. This is the end result of unrepented sin.
Hell is real — and many will go not because God didn’t love them, but because they loved their sin more than the Savior.

⸻

Identity vs. Struggle

There’s a huge difference between struggling with sin and living in it:
    •    A struggler is fighting, praying, repenting.
    •    A defender is justifying, celebrating, and refusing to change.

You may feel same-sex attraction. You may battle lust. You may have fallen in the past. That doesn’t mean God hates you.

But if you claim the sin as identity, and say “God made me this way,” you have rejected His power to transform you.

⸻

Deliverance Is Still Real

Don’t let the modern church fool you. God still delivers.

“If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” – John 8:36

There are men and women all over the world who were once:
    •    Addicted to porn.
    •    Living in same-sex relationships.
    •    Fornicating, cheating, selling their bodies…

And they are now washed, free, whole, and walking in the Spirit.
The same God that raised Jesus from the dead can raise you out of sexual sin.

⸻

The Role of the Church: Watchmen, Not Entertainers

We are not called to build comfortable churches. We’re called to build holy ones.

Ezekiel 33 says if the watchman sees danger coming and doesn’t warn the people, their blood is on his hands.

Pastors, leaders, saints — you will be held accountable if you stay silent while people die in sin.

Love does not hide truth.
Love warns. Love weeps. Love says, “Come out.”

⸻

Come Out and Be Separate

“Come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch the unclean thing, and I will receive you.” – 2 Corinthians 6:17
“Come out of her, my people, so that you will not share in her sins.” – Revelation 18:4

We are called to come out of Babylon. That means the world system — the entertainment industry, the perverted culture, the lukewarm church.

God is preparing a Bride — pure, undefiled, without spot or wrinkle.
You can’t be that Bride if you’re still laying in bed with sin.

⸻

Final Word: Repent Before It’s Too Late

“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” – Matthew 4:17

Repentance is not shame. It’s freedom.
It’s the doorway to wholeness, healing, and heaven.

If you’ve been living in sexual sin — God is not done with you.
But you must turn. Not tomorrow. Not when you’re older. Now.

Don’t let your desires drag you to hell.
Don’t let your past define your future.
Don’t let this culture convince you to stay where God is calling you out from.

Choose Christ.
Choose purity.
Choose truth.
Choose life.

“One Taken, One Left”: What Jesus Really Meant

For years, the phrase “one will be taken and the other left” has been used to support the idea of a secret rapture. It’s often taught that believers will suddenly vanish, leaving behind unbelievers to face the tribulation.

But is that what Jesus actually meant?

Let’s slow down and read the text in full context — not through tradition, but through the Word.

⸻

📖 The Passage Everyone Quotes:

“Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
— Matthew 24:40–41 (KJV)

Sounds rapture-like on the surface, right? But let’s rewind a few verses and let Jesus explain it Himself.

⸻

🕊️ Back Up to the Context — Matthew 24:37–39

“But as the days of Noe [Noah] were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.”
— Matthew 24:37–39

Did you catch that?

Jesus compares His coming to Noah’s day. In Noah’s day:
    •    The wicked were taken by the flood.
    •    The righteous (Noah and his family) were left behind—safe in the ark.

So in Jesus’ own words, being “taken” is not a reward — it’s judgment.

⸻

📌 What “Taken” Really Means in Greek

The word “taken” in Matthew 24 is paralambanō, which can mean:
    •    Taken to oneself (sometimes positive),
    •    Or taken away (often in judgment depending on context).

But paired with the comparison to Noah — it clearly means taken in judgment.

⸻

🔥 Luke 17 Adds Even More Clarity

“Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.
I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left.”
— Luke 17:33–34

Now watch this:

“And they answered and said unto him, Where, Lord?
And he said unto them, Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.”
— Luke 17:37

The disciples literally ask Jesus: “Taken where?”
Jesus responds: “Where the body is… the vultures gather.”

This is not about being taken to heaven.
It’s an image of death and judgment — just like in Noah’s day.

⸻

💡 Conclusion: One Taken = Judged. One Left = Preserved.

So let’s summarize:

Phrase    Traditional View    Biblical Meaning
One taken    Raptured to heaven    Taken in judgment
One left    Left behind for tribulation    Spared like Noah
Days of Noah    Believers taken    Wicked were taken

Jesus never once said His people would vanish in secret. He said:
    •    The wicked would be caught off guard.
    •    The faithful must endure and watch.
    •    Judgment will be swift and public.

⸻

🧎🏽‍♀️ Final Word

Let’s stop letting fiction shape our faith. The Bible is clear when we read it in context.

When Jesus returns, He’s not coming secretly to remove people quietly — He’s coming visibly to separate the wheat from the tares, the sheep from the goats, and yes, to judge the world in righteousness.

The question is not, “Will I be taken?”
The real question is: “Will I be found faithful when He comes?”
