FORNICATION: THE FULL MEANNING
1Corinthians 6:18; 1Corinthians 7:1-2;
Fornication is the incontinence or lewdness of unmarried persons, male or female. Occasionally, it means unchastity. Hebrews 13:4; It is a sexual intercourse a person and a unmarried person – 1Corinthians 5:1
Up to this day, this truth is well understood in the Middle East, Greece , Turkey , Syrians Christian living in Iraq , Palestine . These countries have upheld God’s word that women should be virgins up to the day of their marriage, there must be proof that they are virgins, and if they are not, they can be PUT AWY right then, the same night.
Now here is how it is done based on God’s word: We read in the Bible about the token of virginity. The day of the marriage, the parents of the girl give some kind of towel or cloth, and after her virginity is broken, the blood will be wiped on that cloth, and that cloth is given back to the parents of the girl to keep as a PROOF that their daughter was a virgin when she married. As soon as they get the bloody cloth, the parents proudly dance before the guests with joy that their daughter was a virgin. If she was not a virgin, sometimes the father & brothers kill the girl right there. But if they do not kill her, the bridegroom can put her away right then, and marry someone else. Such customs are still practiced in remote villages & towns in Greece , Turkey , and the Middle East .
When Joseph saw Mary was with a child, he thought of “putting Mary away privately” Because he was a just man, he did not want to make a public example, but thought to do it privately.Then the Angel of the Lord appeared to him that Mary was not a Fornicator, but that the Holy Ghost had come upon her and she was still a virgin that would give birth to the Son of God. Fornication is sex before marriage, but Adultery is unfaithfulness after marriage. And Jesus never gave excuse for anyone to divorce for Adultery… only Fornication in night of marriage…not after you have live with her for a week. So Fornication is not always a reason accepted with God. If you married her knowing she is not a virgin, you can’t put her away or divorce her if she does not please you…..or if you want some body else down the way! Read Matthew 5:28; 1Timothy 2:9; 1Corinthians 6:13b, 3:16a, 17a.

response to Fornication

Without looking at its meaning through the wise and prudent view, we can see its plain and common meaning in the lowly practical view. It is immoral behavior in relations, which is why Christ used the word fornication, because of its general meaning; because it includes adultery. If we trust the Spirit of God, He will teach us all things, and bring us into all Truth, so that we need not that any person teach us.
