I was reading Galatians 5 19-21 in the bible the other day, and I read it was talking about all the people that God says wil not enter into the kingdom, and amoungst them it said the sexually immoral. So I wanted, who exactly are the sexually immoral people. Like I know, that includes p**n stars, prostitutes,...but what eles? Thank you sooo much.

  1. What is meant by the word “fornication”? It comes from the Greek word por·nei′a,which  is sometimes used to apply to sexual relations between unmarried people. (1 Corinthians 6:9) Elsewhere, such as at Matthew 5:32 and Matthew 19:9, the term is broader in meaning and refers additionally to adultery, incest, and bestiality.

    Other sexual practices between individuals not married to each other, such as oral and anal s*x and the sexual manipulation of another person’s genitalia, can also be designated as por·nei′a. All such practices are condemned—either explicitly or by implication—in God’s Word.—Leviticus 20:10, 13, 15, 16; Romans 1:24, 26, 27, 32.  Immorality is linked to thinking that does not harmonize with Jehovah’s thoughts. (James 1:14, 15)

    To remain morally chaste, we must recognize that following such a life-style is worthwhile. This is in harmony with what the apostle Paul wrote to Christians in Rome: “Prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” (Romans 12:2) Recognizing that moral chasteness is worthwhile involves more than simply knowing that immorality is condemned in God’s Word. It involves understanding the reasons why immorality is condemned and how we benefit by shunning it.

    Many discover too late just how valuable a possession their chastity really was. Their loss is often tragic. As the Bible puts it, the aftereffects of immorality can be like poison, “as bitter as wormwood.” (Proverbs 5:3, 4)


  2. It is referring to a lifestyle or a way of living. A continual practice of immorality. Those who practice these sins will not inherit the kingdom. This includes fornication, adultery, homosexuality, and all the other things mentioned. There are people who live continuously like this, they practice it, it is their lifestyle. They live with the boyfriends and girlfriends and commit fornication, they are adulterous relationships, they are in homosexual relationships, they go from this boyfriend or girlfriend to the next, it is a part of their life. These are not one time acts or something that happens once every 5 years but a continuous thing. Sexual immorality includes all sexual activity outside of a marital relationship between a man and a woman. Jesus said in Matthew 7:23 that He never knew those people who practice iniquity or lawlessness.

  3. anyone having s*x immorally- which means not moral or having no true meaning behind it or to brake it down a little more ppl having s*x outside of marriage....  just having s*x to have it.(self worship)  

  4. Sexually immoral includes any s*x outside a married couple of a man and a woman which would be adultery.

    Additionally, God intended for natural s*x to be between a man and a woman.... A man with a man or a woman with a woman is unnatural and is an abomination [disgrace] in Gods eyes.

    Feel free to email me if you would like to discuss this further or would like scriptures related to this.


  5. any one and everyone that has sexual relations that are not in accordance to God's word in other words sexual relations are for a married man and woman and these sexual relations are to be done through what is called straight s*x not anal or other perversions of the act of s*x

  6. So has only ONE 'o'.

    Don't let it happen again!

  7. The Old Testament listed at s*x with relatives,even step,animals,and same s*x.

  8. EP is correct. according to the bible, the only proper sexual relationship is within marriage. anything else would be considered immoral(again, according to the bible).

  9. "homosexual" was coined in 1869 so it can't be a sin and the bible was mistranslated

  10. it tels you what it is ,fornication,wich is s*x before marriage,adultry,pornea....means fooling around but not penatration,like heavy petting,homosexual activity 1st corith.6;9 says neither fornicator nor idolaters,nor adulterers nor men kept for unnatural purposes nor men who lie with men(or woman who lie with woman)ect... will inherit GODS kingdom,does this help?

  11. Those who engage in any form of sexual activity outside of the constraints of marriage, as ordained by God.

  12. Do you mean what kind of people St Paul considered were sexually immoral? Or what kind of people Jesus considered sexually immoral (and therefore wicked)? Christ's and St Paul's views did not necessarily coincide and in many ways were very different. There's times I really wonder if St Paul would have got into heaven if it hadn't been for his fanatical zeal.

    And again, the prophets of the Old Testament differed still further in their attitudes. Elijah, for instance, thought that Jezebel was immoral although her only crime was being a foreigner, forced into a marriage of convenience, who wanted to worship her own religion.

    So you see, in the Bible, there is a wide variety of attitudes as to who was considered sexually immoral. The term itself you understand clearly enough otherwise I'd recommend that you look up a dictionary.

    As to who God will allow into heaven is another question and you'll get a variety of answers about that, too. Primary sources are always the best when researching history; you'll get the best idea of Jesus' teaching on the matter from the Gospel of Mark.

  13. ANY PERSON HAVING s*x OUTSIDE OF A SANCTIONED MARRIAGE. DARN IF I BELIEVED IN h**l THEN WE'D ALL BE GOING THERE.

  14. Anyone who does anything sexual unless they are believers, or if they only do it missionary.

    See, if they're believers, then anything is alright. Asks the priests and the alter boys. They know the truth.

    If they're not believers, then it's alright, so long as they have an expensive piece of paper, and don't try anything new (huh... don't do anything new, don't accept anything new... sounds like it belongs in religion...)
