There would be some people who would tell us that the unpardonable sin (unforgivable sin) is that of committing a sexual sin.

 

                Considering an archaic word “Fornication", which is normally translated properly today as “Immorality” needs some defining.  The word’s origin is from a Greek word, “Porneia".  The English word “Pornography” is derived from it.  It is an umbrella term (broad).  Basically it means, “Any illegal sexual activity”.

 

                Some sins of immorality which could come under “Fornication” or “Immorality” are as follows:

 

A) Homosexuality -sex between two males

 

B) Adultery - sex between two adults of the opposite sex, with at least one of 

                         them being married to another

    

C) Lesbianism - sex between two females

 

D) Incest - sex between a family member, other than a spouse

 

E) Beastiality - sex between a human and an animal

 

                It is God's Plan for man and woman to share under one roof (physically, emotionally, sexually, etc. - Genesis 1:27,28; 2:21-24).  However, man and woman are to be committed to one another in matrimony (marriage).  To share one's body with another apart from being married to each other is sin and will condemn a person to hell unless forgiveness is extended by God (I Corinthians 6:9-20).

 

                Probably most people would respond in the negative if asked, “Have you ever committed adultery, fornication, or been immoral?”.  However, Jesus once said that If a man looked upon a woman lustfully - he has already committed adultery within his heart (Matthew 5:28).  When this Scripture is considered - is there a human being who could answer the above question in the negative?  Whether it has been the actual physical act or the mental act - it is sin according to Jesus.

 

                The key word  for those living a lustful life is "REPENT"!  This means that one must turn from known sin in one's life if eternal salvation is desired here and now as well as in eternity. If one is not walking with God here in this life there is no promise of spending eternity with Him in heaven.  Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior also calls for one to not only be baptized in water, but to repent, confess Him as Savior, and to be faithful to God's ways (Acts 16:31; 2:38; 8:37; 17:30; 14:22).
