Private Parts' Public Purpose

Private Parts' Public Purpose

As King David was on his deathbed, he charged his son Solomon: "I am going the way of all the earth: be you strong therefore, and show yourself a man; and keep the charge of the Lord your God, to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, and His commandments, and His ordinances, and His testimonies, according to that which is written in the law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do, and wherever you turn yourself" (1 Kings 2:2-3).

But not long after David died, "Solomon made an alliance with Pharaoh king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and brought her into the city of David, until he had made an end of building his own house, and the house of the Lord, and the wall of Jerusalem round about. Only the people sacrificed in the high places, because there was no house built for the name of the Lord until those days. Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places" (1 Kings 3:1-3): he married a pagan princess and began introducing pagan rituals in Israel, contrary to the Lord's commandments.

When King Solomon finished building and consecrating the Temple in Jerusalem, the Lord God said to him: "As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My ordinances; then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, according as I promised to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel. But if you shall turn away from following Me, you or your children, and not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but shall go and serve other gods, and worship them; then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for My name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples" (1 Kings 9:4-7). The Lord warned Solomon to keep His commandments and not serve other gods, or else the Lord would break His covenant with Israel. So what did Solomon do?

"Now king Solomon loved many foreign women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Sidonians, and Hittites; of the nations concerning which the Lord said to the children of Israel, You shall not go among them, neither shall they come among you; for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon joined to these in love. He had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives turned away his heart. For it happened, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father. For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. Solomon did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and didn't go fully after the Lord, as did David his father. Then did Solomon build a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the mountain that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon. So did he for all his foreign wives, who burnt incense and sacrificed to their gods. ...Therefore the Lord said to Solomon, Because this is done of you, and you have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have commanded you, I will surely tear the kingdom from you, and will give it to your servant" (1 Kings 11:1-8 and 11).

God had blessed Solomon with great wisdom, riches and power... but all that went to his head and he began to think he was above the Law of God. This is what happens when even a very intelligent person allows his passions and emotions to take control of his thoughts and actions. Ashtoreth (Astarte) was the sex goddess of the Sidonians; Milcom, Chemosh and Molech were pagan gods whose worship included temple prostitution and sodomy, and demanded the sacrifice of babies, the result of this ritual fornication. What was the result? Gradual dissolution of the kingdom of Israel and invasion by foreign armies. Today, 50 years after the "Sexual Revolution" and "the Pill" we have fornication and sodomy being glorified on TV, streaming video and social media, and the results of unwanted pregnancies being murdered, - sacrificed to the goddess Ashtoreth - or farmed out to homosexual couples. What is this if not neo-paganism?

In Lev. 20:10-16 the Lord gave to Moses the list of sexual practices that were forbidden for God's people: adultery, incest, homosexuality (called "an abomination") and bestiality. In the New Testament these sexual sins are all included in the Greek words "porneia" (noun) and "porneuo" (verb), which Jesus Christ Himself mentioned in Mt. 5:32; 15:19; 19:9 and Mk. 7:21. So it is incorrect to say Jesus never said anything about homosexuality. Now Christians are even being forced to celebrate these abominations, fulfilling the prophecy in Rev. 14:8 - "Another, a second angel, followed, saying, 'Babylon the great has fallen, which has made all the nations to drink of the wine of the wrath of her sexual immorality [porneia].'"

The statement that it's nobody else's business what adults do in bed is absurd, although today's liberal politicians love to trot out that phrase. It should be quite obvious that private sexual relations have a profound effect on the public: keeping sex within the bonds of marriage promotes strong and healthy families, while letting it loose destroys families, spreads disease, and lowers the birth rate. The radical separation of sexual intercourse from procreation has led to population decline and collapse of society in cultures where "sexual freedom" has been adopted: several European countries are on the way to becoming Muslim-majority societies due to Muslims' higher birth rate. The U.S. is not far behind.

Lowering the birth rate by just 25% will cause a population implosion in less than two generations, leaving any country open to foreign invasion, not to mention the inability of far fewer young people to support the millions of retired people. I've lived in the USSR and Russia for many years, and have seen with my own eyes sick elderly people being left to die without food or water in the hallways of hospitals, or ambulance services asking the age of a sick person and refusing to come if that person is over 65. Why? Because there aren't enough young people paying taxes to support the public services.

The private nature of "private parts" is based on the intimate psychological bonding that takes place when two people come together sexually. God created this bonding so that a man and woman would remain husband and wife in order to provide a loving environment for their children. No other person should disturb this relationship, it should remain exclusively and permanently between husband and wife. When this private aspect of sexual relations, however, is used as an excuse to rationalize promiscuity and homosexual perversion, then such private acts begin to have a very negative public impact.

Fornicators, adulterers, lesbians and homosexuals may well be contributing to society in their work lives, but in their "private" lives they are in fact undermining society. They ignore the fact that every society is made up of people, and when the population drops the society begins to dissolve into nothing. A country with abundant natural resources but a dwindling population loses its greatest riches: its people. Thus, Private Parts Possess a Public Purpose!
