Banning all sexual relations outside of marriage: How that would benefit children

I myself am a Christian dominionist. Most people are unfamiliar with this ideology. I am a children's rights Christian/conservative, meaning I support most children's rights initiatives, but with a conservative Christian twist. Many people misunderstand my conservative ideology, which is Christian dominionism. Part of being a Christian dominionist is supporting all sexual relations outside of marriage being banned, period. Why does this benefit children? It draws the line in the sand clearer for the abusers. Sex with children will never be acceptable, even if it is accepted someday, which it will if the anti-Christian left gets its way with having no religion in our society.

Murder is a sin against your neighbor. Fornication is worse than murder - it is a moral crime against God. Those who abuse themselves with fornication end up abusing God. See 1 Corinthians 6:18-20 KJV:

Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body, but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 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? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

The Greek root word translated "fornication" is πορνεία (Latin: porneia) and most literally translates to "outside of proper channels". Marriage, in biblical times, was a license for a man to have sexual relations with a woman. Without that government and/or church approval of the marriage, as written in a lawfully binding contract, the marriage could not take place, and thus the marriage would be deemed fraudulent. Thus, any sexual relations outside of marriage is a fraudulent marriage. Why does God hate fornication so much? We were all created in God's Image, and thus, having sexual relations outside the confines of marriage dishonors God's image, and devolves society into the behavior of apes - a fate God saved us from.

How does this Christian teaching benefit children? Child sexual predators lack boundaries, usually. Child sexual abuse comes from a sexual crush on the child, and when that sexual crush is repressed, it comes out sideways onto the child, usually when the sex offender is alone with the child. Usually, the line isn't quite drawn for them in their entitled mind, so society needs to draw the line for them. The farther away the line from sex with children, the better. This means we should stay many steps from the ultimate line, which is sexual relations with a child.

Also, chastity and sexual purity are founding Judeo-Christian values that this country was founded upon. Most of us as Christian dominionists hold dear our founding Christian family values, and want to see them enacted into law. Lock up all the depraved and decadent, defiled scum who commit fornication by engaging in filthy and degenerate sexual acts outside of marriage. Fornication is the second worst sin in God's eyes, next to blasphemy itself. Not only that, it IS blasphemy. It dishonors God by dishonoring your own body.

There is a silver lining to this prohibition, however. Masturbation, in and of itself, is not a sin. The Greek root word denoting lust in the New Testament is επιθυμέω (Latin: epithumeo) and refers not to ordinary sexual desire, or even sexual desire towards children. The word refers to sexual entitlement, which is defined as, officially speaking, sexual want, to the point of taking the first steps to approach a woman or child. Masturbatory fantasy about a woman you are not married to, or a child, is not a sexual sin. The Early Church, in particular, recommended masturbation as a means to re-channel unrequited lusts inward, and even made it a religious requirement for men. Child sexual abuse was next to non-existent in biblical times, but when it happened, it was seen as deserving of death, or, in the case of the Early Church, the second death.

The depraved and decadent, defiled sex offenders who rape and sexually assault children will not inherit the Kingdom of God! Sex with children will never be acceptable, even if it becomes accepted someday! Let the adult fornicators of children burn in a fire of torrents and brimstone! Repent!
