BibleGateway - Keyword Search: Fornication

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: - 1 Thessalonians 4:3

Sanctification is the cure for fornication, or sexual organisms of any kind. God put a motivation inside humans to populate this earth. Sanctification of spirit delivers us from such motivation and causes us to understand there are greater things spiritually other than sexual organisms.

Peter opens his second epistle by saying...

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. - 2 Peter 1:4

I like the old Methodist way sanctification was taught. If the old timers could not sense the sweet spirit of Christ in the experience they would tell you to come back tomorrow night. And smile a little as they said it, especially knowing that there were revivals and good services ahead.

My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you... - Galatians 4:19

Once the Christ was formed the soul was considered sanctified as the sanctified soul now cleaves to greater pleasures other than that of fleshly nature.

I am working on a novel, I need verses that talk about sexuality. I don't care if it's negative, positive, or neutral I just want verses because I want to reach my own conclusion on what the bible says about same sex marriage. Google is no help because users bring opinion into the mix.

Lev 20:13 ‘If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

But the bible doesn't say anything at all about same sex marriage because it didn't exist. There are rules regarding prohibited marriages, including a man marrying a woman who has been in a sexual relationship with his father. It is prohibited. Probably what you are looking for is found in Leviticus 20:10-21 here:

Leviticus 20 :: New King James Version (NKJV)

All of those are prohibited within Christianity by the prohibition against sexual immorality in general.

Hi and welcome here.

"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Gen 2:24

"Yet an elder needs to be one who is without blame before others. He should be one whose heart is for his wife alone and not another woman. He should be recognized as one who is sensible, and well-behaved, and living a disciplined life. He should be a “spiritual shepherd” who has the gift of teaching, and is known for his hospitality." TPT, I Tim 3:2

"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." Heb 13:4

"But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saints; Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God." Eph 5:3-5

"But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul." Pro 6:32

'Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband." I Cor 7:2

"Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:" Col 3:5

"Thou shalt not commit adultery." Exo 20:14 "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. 30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." Matt 5:27-30

There are more Scriptures on this topic. But these are some of God's thoughts about how He expects us to behave before Him.

"If a man lies with a male as if he were a woman, both men have committed an offense (something perverse, unnatural, abhorrent, and detestable); they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Lev 20:13
