“Forbidden fruit.” so tasty so beautiful it draws those two in with a dangerous allure. The fact is,”at that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness.” (Genesis 3:7) we stop here. Pause and think for a moment …<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let’s read together: ,”at that moment their eyes were opened, and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness.” Don’t you think that in literal sense. Just go to the verses before, all their normal activities were done with the eyes open. They could physically see trees, animals and each other the entire time. Bushes grow, trimming death tree branches , naming the animals and walking hand in hand down the forest paths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attraction of the outward object, like the tree, was indeed present there and God wanted it to be there but it is very wrong however to assume their intentional sin is God’s desire. She saw, she took and she ate it and she gave it to her man. Terrible.. the curse came into the world as a result of sin. The relationship between men and women no longer reflects God’s intent, and their intentional sin brought about separation from God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our media provide more than we can handle, consistently bombarding us with sexual images, content and talk, And it is clear as crystal as a man, We look at it. We don’t don’t talk about it. Some feel guilty about it. Most feel embarrassed to admit it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Me, I am not abnormal,okay. I love God and He provides internet and technology, well He mignt say,”it is good” The internet is here, everywhere, I dare to say pornography is with us, the tree is there. God won’t move it and wouldn’t think to erase it from the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
women feel the pressure too. Not sure how painful those who are forced to carry the impossible ideal like “a dream shaped girl” that never ever meant to match. To chase a fantasy version of love or passion that doesn’t exist in real world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The point to remember:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All this creates isolation and a loneliness of heart that fall short of the glorious gift of God. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I want to pray for you and me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lord, remind us that our bodies are temples of God. Forgive us for how often we grieve the Holy Spirit. May we be awakened to the traps around us. God pours out His Grace and God forgives us once and for all. AMEN<\/p>\n\n\n\n
