Reasons God Forbids Premarital Sex: It Contributes to Redefining Marriage & Family; Challenge to the Next Generation to Delay Gratification

	22.	Anything that threatens, diminishes, distorts, or attacks this system is in opposition to the plan and purpose of God.  Such efforts involve sin but much worse evil and as such play into Lucifer’s plan to destroy the divine institutions.
	23.	If marriage can be redefined and then made passé then the family unit will become dysfunctional and obsolete.  Government will take over the rearing of children who will be taught the human viewpoint of Progressive ideology whose standards are always in a state of flux.
	24.	Standards that are in flux are not standards but fads influenced by the emotion of the moment.
	25.	The Progressive view of marriage and sex has no defined boundaries and as a result the divine institution of marriage suffers verbicide and the stability of the union lasts only so long as expectations are met.
	26.	The biblical sanctions for marriage denounce all this madness.  If society is to survive, if our culture is to survive, if this client nation is to survive, then the next generation must actively turn away from the popular culture and commit to traditional biblical standards.
	27.	Only a few will do this but it only takes a few bold, brave warriors for Christ to make a difference.  If these few resolve to keep the faith by believing the promise of right man-right woman: that God guarantees to bring each of them together in His perfect timing, then they will not only have wonderful lives they will contribute to the advance of God’s plan and purpose in their generation.
	28.	The reason that God forbids premarital sex is because it threatens not only His overall plan and purpose but because in His system those who violate the mandate will suffer destruction of their souls and infirmity in their bodies.
	29.	Premarital sex between consenting partners is the result of two choices: the volition of the male who is the aggressor and the volition of the female who is the responder.  Both must be accountable for their decisions but the male is the responsible person: if he doesn’t aggress, the woman will not respond.
	30.	It is the responsibility of the male to control the situation.  This is extremely difficult for him to do without doctrine because he is naturally an aggressor.
	31.	If the male aggresses it is extremely difficult for the female without doctrine to resist since she is naturally a responder.
	32.	Those who allow their passions and desires to overrule divine policies will suffer the consequences of guilt and depression while at the same time controlled by unleashed lust patterns that have an insatiable craving to be gratified.
	33.	Involvement in these behaviors destroys the soul and body unless arrested by one of two things: (1) salvation which wipes away all presalvation sins, or (2) rebound which eliminates postsalvation sins through confession alone to God alone.
	34.	These however are only starting points.  Doctrine must be learned and applied to quench the desire and to remove the guilt and depression.  But even with a conscientious advance in the spiritual life it is extremely difficult to rein in passions and desires that have discovered the outlet that provides satisfaction.
	35.	It is an obvious fact that sex is an enjoyable experience.  It is the reason that marriage was instituted by the Lord so that it could be engaged in without restraint and indulged without guilt thus maximizing its pleasurable effects for both husband and wife.
	36.	This is the reason that God forbids premarital or extramarital sex.  He is not trying to deprive anyone of anything.  Instead He is protecting the divinely prepared environment in which physical sex can attain its intended potential.
	37.	When sex is contained within the environment it was designed to function, then natural passions and desires are so strong and unrestrained that the preservation of the human race cannot be threatened by satanic assaults on the institution.
	38.	Lucifer lost the Angelic Conflict at the cross.  His sentence to the lake of fire is confirmed.  But his sentence has been delayed until human history is completed.  (See Matthew 25:41 compared with Revelation 20:10)
