The Paradox of Sex

You can look at the video in my previous blog describing the fertilization of the egg and marvel over the specialization of nature that supports sexual reproduction and the creation of an individual out of two others.

But you could look at every other organ and feature of the human body as a mechanism and feature to support reproduction. Nervous, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, lymphatic systems etc. all support the creature that creates.

A pure materialist sees sex as the ultimate point of creation. Even mind takes a back seat.

But the modern materialist is likely to dismiss the procreative part of sex in favor of the pleasure of sex--just because. To a materialist the function of mind is to allow the discretion for pleasure without the "accidents" of the pleasure.

As important as the reproductive powers are, there is a more important power that must be used in conjunction with this sexual power. It is the power of the mind connected to the Spirit.

Two bodies in the marital embrace can produce four, six or eight or more bodies. But one mind can plant its seed in millions of bodies.

Jesus spoke of this in John 6. We are to eat his body and drink his blood. Why? So that we may have him in us. In us means in our minds and in our hearts and in our souls. Out of the two of us, God and man, One. John speaks of this elsewhere. When we have God's seed in us we cannot sin. The power of the body in the marital embrace is great and necessary but the power of the mind and soul in God's embrace is greater. The creation of a mind and soul that can be united with God is the purpose of all creation. The highest function of our body is to cooperate in that creative act by making souls and minds that receive God's seed.

Here is the paradox: the sexual urge is required to create the mind. The righteous overcoming of the sexual urge is required to create a mind that is one with God. Men and women use their bodies as instruments of righteousness in the marriage bed to create bodies and brains. They join in the home to create minds that can choose to be one with God. They further join in the body of Christ to extend this spiritual power to those children who were not conceived with the intention of their union with God.

All of the body of Christ must be joined together in creation of souls that have received God's seed. This is the ultimate purpose of the body and its faculties.
