Now see? You're assuming that they don't really know God. Why can't you accept that as sinful humans, we DO still sin after being saved? It's obvious satan will do ANYTHING to destroy our Christianity. We get tempted to sin, it happens every day, every single day... If we did NOT sin after being saved, we would be immortals in a mortal fallen world. and that wouldn't work too well.
Blue - a good question.
Do you know the difference between sex and intimacy? Or love and desire?
People are made of drives. The last drive to go is sex. And sex is a cruel master, it
will make you its slave, and like all drugs, it will get you higher and higher until you have
lost everything.
So the answer is knowing in Jesus you are loved, through the cross, deeper than anyone
can ever love another human, to the ends of time and existance. But this love can only
work if you open the door and surrender all to Him. No limits, not restrictions, no ifs or
buts, just submission.
Who is my Father? God. My parents were his representatives who sinned and failed in
their weakness and humanity, but God is the perfect provider, and I can love my parents
to whom I owe my existance, because I know God loves me. Learning to walk in this
intimacy changes my needs, the attraction of sex, pornography etc. so I begin to know
real life in Christ, joy morning noon and night, a peace that passes understanding, a praise
that never ends, a joy that lifts my heart to the heavens, times where I never want to come
down.
So all the extreme behaviours are a lack of knowing Christ as a reality in our hearts.
And the first step is always the same, submission and admiting need, in repentance and
faith.
