"To sex or not to sex.... that is the question...." [?]

 The other day, I started an entry that was going to give some thoughts on some of the wisdom I have gained over the years regarding the topic of sex and Christianity as nowadays we have many changes to society that no longer follow the patterns and cultural trends of more ancient biblical eras. 

Everyone has their own opinions and I've read many different Christ following authors' thoughts on the subject over the years, but you may say to yourself, K have you had sex? I would say the question in itself nowadays people approach it with a semantic range of perception and unfortunatly also deception.

To contexualize the subject a bit, I will use a more modern author's words, modern as in, at least I've listened to this particular person speak live before, unlike another author such as the Apostle Paul:

"While it is wise to learn from experience, it is even wiser to learn from the experience of others." [RW]

I personally have had many people entrust me with their different viewpoints regarding sex on a first person dialogue perpsective, but I typically only initial people who are much more known in the public's eyes. In addition to being well read, admittedly I know more on the subject than people realize and in some ways it is a regret that I know more about the subject than I ought. Though over the years I have often made some exceptions on several posts I probably will unpublish indefinetly within the next 3 to 5 years. 

So I will address the most immediate and thought provoking question first society needs to prayerfully submit to our Lord and Saviour, Jesus. Should I be having sex? 

The most obvious questions about sex are actually already answered but sometimes people need to ask themselves the less obvious questions that actually are at the heart of the issue that matter the most. So instead of the question I have just formatted in the above, I propose an alternative question 

-> Is sexual excitement going to be of some benefit to me this month? <-

I think this is the "more excellent way" [1 Corinthians 12] that Christians ought to be following and approaching the question nowadays. As currently in some areas of the world, we are headed to people being very preoccupied with addressing the how can I celebrate life this year with sex on their brains. 

One dilemma is, people often do not recongize that sex is tied into our cognition naturally as a desire to experience a kind of joy only one person can give without physically touching us, the love of our God above [John 1–John 4]. Most people who call Jesus their Lord, Saviour, King or leader sometimes forget about him also being the Example and although there had been some speculation as to how much of what we know nowadays to be defined as "a virgin". I personally don't think Jesus needed sex to supplement his contentment regarding life during his pilgramage in human form but I do see him using the sex often as an illustration to his people regarding certain theological topics to point us to increased knowledge of God, I am going to turn in for the night soon so I will just leave the scripture here for you to pounder and make an effort to expound on it further a future time:

3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.[a]”

4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”

5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit[b] gives birth to spirit. 7 You should not be surprised at my saying, ‘You[c] must be born again.’ 8 The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.”[d]

9 “How can this be?” Nicodemus asked.

10 “You are Israel’s teacher,” said Jesus, “and do you not understand these things? 11 Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have seen, but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of heavenly things?

Some background info before going back to 'interview with self-Mode':

 "Some of you need to understand the difference between dynasty and legacy...." [RW] 

Even in the service I was moderating, I was saying how when he uses certain wording, I need to do my usual thing and research, even if just a quick Google search on what he's talking about. However, just like my biblical languages prof was saying, perhaps it's all a matter of which lexicon you decide to use:

[https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/search?q=dynasty]

(of course a search result would show up NOW that I just used that word above in this specific post)

Hmm, I think someone must have been also working with the common contexts I myself am familiar with perhaps in these "word choices" for the above quote: 

[https://quizlet.com/223035357/ch-3-basics-of-biblical-hebrew-flash-cards/]

To help those without biblical Hebrew background understand, I will use an example from 2 Samuel 3:1 -> בֵּית שָׁאוּל, וּבֵין בֵּית דָּוִד

Hebrew is read from right to left somewhat like other non-European originating languages like ancient Chinese. There are using what is known as a "construct form" of the word for house, which eliminates the use of the word "of" as a possessive adjective we normally use in English. So instead of "house Saul" (בֵּית שָׁאוּל) because the first word of house is given in "construct form" here, it means "house of Saul" and likewise בֵּית דָּוִד means house OF David. In this context, it doesn't just mean that members of the immediate household were in conflict, but rather the descendants and also other extended members of the family and kingdoms established through these two leaders or "kings". Thus, "dynasty" would be the preferred meaning for this particular context. So since I had dropped a DM to the speaker that the last time I heard the song about "(8) Father Abraham had many sons... (8)" was not since my days at Tyndale, perhaps he did also want to indirectly hint to me that it isn't just my direct blood descendants or relatives that are the only thing that matter in life. i.e. my lack of assurance that my biological father did make peace with Jesus prior to his passing.

Apparently, when recently I had reflected on the fact that until very recently I had not finished watching movies like The Rise of Skywalker or The Return of the King, I realized that apparently I had already started on a post with the title "The Return of the K". I did use the wording of that first movie in an entry even before I had a chance to watch the entire film from start to finish and once again in December 2020, I was faced with the same circumstances that at times my mom physically blocked me from "leaving the front door": https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/2017/12/the-return-of-k.html

Anyhow, a take away from all of the above is that aside from making this initially as a semi-personal space with more anonymity to my identity initially was that I have dedicated this space to God [https://life-of-agent-k.blogspot.com/search?q=god+cast]. After years of writing ever since I hope the blog accomplish more than just the what would be more geared towards my own healing in my faith journey as has been the focus of most of the recent entries this month, but also that followers of Jesus or otherwise would be encouraged by my life narratives to dig deeper into their relationship with Jesus and others.

SO NOW ONTO PART 3 OF THE SIMULATED INTERVIEW PORTION:

M: Hello again K, we once again sit down to have some conversations surrounding your faith, your psychology and your journey with Christ as a whole. Towards the end of our last session you had began touching upon the topic of stewardship and Covid, do have you any more thoughts on that subject that we can perhaps touch upon to begin this session?

K: Well, I am reminded of David's Psalm 24 (1–2): 

1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

    the world, and all who live in it;

2 for he founded it on the seas

    and established it on the waters.1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it,

    the world, and all who live in it;
