Is sexual immorality a victimless sin?

Is sexual immorality among Christians a victimless sin? If unmarried Christians are cohabiting. If Christians are involved in homosexual activity or other acts of fornication, are these victimless sins?


THE PRIMARY VICTIMS OF SEXUAL SIN are the participants themselves.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicator,....nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals.....will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

The apostle Paul was warning Christians not to return to their sinful lifestyle. Paul said it could keep them from inheriting the kingdom of God. SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS NOT A VICTIMLESS SIN!

THE CHURCH IS A VICTIM OF SEXUAL IMMORALITY.

1 Corinthians 5:1-6 It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife. You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst..... I have decided to deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of his flesh, so that his spirit may me saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your boasting is not good. Do you not know a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS NOT A VICTIMLESS SIN, it can destroy the whole church.

1 Corinthians 5:9-11 I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world..... But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler---not even to eat with such a one.

The apostle Paul say not to associate with immoral Christians.
Far too often the church makes excuses for the immoral behavior of fellow Christians.

Excuses for sexual immorality:

1. For unmarried Christian who are living together to marry, might impose a financial hardship or be inconvenient.
2. Homosexuality is biological, it is not a choice.
3. Christians have no right to judge the fornication of unrepentant Christians.

SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS BY CHOICE, IT IS NOT BY CHANCE.

CHRISTIAN SEXUAL IMMORALITY IS NOT A VICTIMLESS SIN!
