204 Heaven
204_Heaven
Heaven is Man’s God given right to true and utter, happiness, and pure love.
Through kindness and love we seek sex. Whether that is with your imaginary beau or harlot (merely the image of course!), or as a bachelor. We identify ourselves with an image of a person and hold tightly to that assumption of the love, one will provide. That is not the whole story – we may find someone so keen to know us and attractive to our eye, that it works. But it tends to be based on an image. We cannot let go of studying every part of each other, from eyes to lips, feet, ankles, toes, hands, and body. Something we see gets to us over time.
Heaven is God’s image and God wants us to be sexy: to attract, many of the opposite or same sex partner, to find the right one: (I am straight); to bring an individuality to us and difference in our curves and sexual orientations. The harlot of course has connotations of the courtesan, but it makes for an all-powerful image of a submissive woman, heaving bosoms and rampant with their lust for you, if that is what you desire?
Heaven is not burning, for burning is evil – but we are still making a chaotic utopia in our entropy of clean burning. Green borders, hidden innuendo and mocking are our daily. The synchronicity of serendipity in meeting someone in the street, club, bar, café or shop is beautiful though, minus the innuendo. However, the Harlot, the old-fashioned hedonistic woman dominating man, is a burning idol and like the Bible says: the body will not become a Harlot in Christ!
Yet also in the Bible is the acceptance of Harlot’s, as in prostitutes, (not just the image of the sultry sexed up woman); and so it also states: the man and even the Harlot shall become one flesh.
The point of the Harlot in this prose is the deep plunging cleavage, the titillation, and the tease, of what a man once knew as his mother’s milk. There is something fantastical about bosoms and bottoms! But to be Christly is to avoid all temptation and to be a temple of the Holy Spirit, therefore: ‘may it never be so’. All sex out of marriage is a sin, not sex itself, but polygamy. Illicit relationships are by believers, especially reprehensible because they profane Jesus Christ with whom believers are one. Therefore, every sin is outside. There is a sense that sexual sin destroys a person like no other, because it is so intimate and entangling, corrupting on the deepest human level. A Christian’s body belongs to the Lord, is a member of Christ and is the Holy Spirit’s temple. The precious blood of Christ is the glory of God, by redemption, the Christian’s supreme purpose. This dynamic allows us to congregate and commune on God in a placid way and forget our habits of impassioned desire to the point we are not overwhelmed when the time for sex arises.
So, what is missing? But admiration, convivial support, respect, concern, and care; so, what goes on behind closed doors? As we build and create with the Lord, but conversation, shared interests, deeper understanding, and safety for the children.
Selfishness tends to come from the heart, but we must not be concerned about our protection of our partner, they are ours to share. So, minus the jealousy, we can show gratification and jubilation. Anything goes with a certain integrity and passiveness. Resilience will get us there, because with ‘big energy’ – we are in a new world; we are less causing chaos, as this time we are well tempered.
Heaven is of course: ‘not utopian sex, with the image of a man or woman’, because perfect love, and true heaven are in those we can trust and abide by; someone who you can communicate with.
Amen
Love, AB, x.
