1 Corinthians 6

V. 15-18, Unite with whom?

Sexual sin was a problem in Paul’s time, and it is still a problem in the church today. In verses 15-18 Paul the church of Corinth and lets them know that they must flee all sexually sin. Paul says that if we are the Body of Christ then should the body of Christ have anything to do with sexual sin and of course the answer is no. He deals with the binding nature of sexual intercourse when in verse 16 he says that there is no such thing as casual sex because it joins the two into one flesh. The same terminology used to describe a husband and wife (one flesh) he uses to describe a man sleeping with a prostitute. Sex was never meant to be casual and was always meant to bind the man and woman participating in it together as one in the eyes of God.

Sex out side the frame work of Godly marriage is a behavior that will only lead to the destruction of yourself and in verse 18 Paul’s says that sexual sin is sin against one’s own body. Instead of having your body randomly connected to individuals you choose to sleep with Paul says that we should be joined unto the Lord in one spirit. (verse 17) Casual sex is a myth created by a secular society, all sex is a unify process that joins participant together and ultimately if unrepented of will lead to there destruction. Sex in the confines of God will is always between one man and one woman unified in a marriage covenant.
