"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:20
A young girl whose pastor asked to have sex with him told me that when she asked if he thought it was right to do what he was asking of her; he told her that it does matter because sex was an act of the body and not the spirit. In other words, what is done in the body is not an act that God frowns at. According to her, she stopped going to church since that encounter with the so called pastor.
I have decided to do this post because there may be some other young girls who are facing the same assault by those who, as shepherds, are supposed to be watching over them to present them to God. It is my intention, using the word of God, to confront these evil strangers that have invaded the house of God, masquerading as a pastors, but, in truth, are charlatans. Of these, Jesus will say on the last day, "Depart from Me, you workers of iniquity, I know you not." These are the pastors, so called, who bring reproach to the body of Christ and the ministry work. But it is a glorious calling.

"Every sin, whatever a person commits, is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body" 1 Corinthians 6:18
Those who do violence against the word of God interpret this verse as saying that sexual sin is one done against one's own body and not against God. This is a most perverse interpretation of scripture. Apostle Paul in the context of this passage was admonishing the Corinthians to glorify God with their bodies, which are God's. How then will God not be concerned with what they did with their bodies?
"What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?" 1 Corinthians 6:19.
Not only are their bodies God's, they are the dwellings of the Spirit of God.
Elsewhere, in 2 Corinthians 5:10, Apostle Paul told them: "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad."
God is interested in what we do with our bodies. Whatever interpretation of scripture that does not come to this conclusion: that God is interested in what we do in our bodies, is false, and must be rejected. Someday, each of us, in Christ, will stand before the judgment seat of Christ to give account of what we did in our bodies. Whosoever tells you that God does not care what you do with your body is a liar because God really cares: He lives in it.
