The wages of sexual sin are not to be laundered by bringing them to God.
I compare the wages of sexual sin, or any other sin,
to the results of God’s work in our lives in the love and power of the Holy Spirit.
The difference I see is the difference of eternal separation from God and
the fear and respect of God which yields a full and serene life now and beauty and holiness forever with God.
Deuteronomy 23:17-18
The Message (MSG)
17-18 No daughter of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute; and no son of Israel is to become a sacred prostitute. And don’t bring the fee of a sacred whore or the earnings of a priest-pimp to the house of God, your God, to pay for any vow—they are both an abomination to God, your God.
Psalm 93:5
The Message (MSG)
5 What you say goes—it always has.
“Beauty” and “Holy” mark your palace rule,
God, to the very end of time.
Proverbs 19:23
The Message (MSG)
23 Fear-of-God is life itself,
a full life, and serene—no nasty surprises.
The Message (MSG)
