Answer:
"It is not the body alone that experiences sexual feelings; it is the whole person. Sexual attraction and feelings have a purpose in God's plan of creation."
Alright lets break down this statement to understand it, shall we?
"It is not the body alone that experiences sexual feelings; it is the whole person."
The first thing we have to ask ourselves is, is this a true statement? What do you think? Can the body alone experience sexual arousal or is it also the whole person? Meaning can the individual's mental, emotional, and physical state experience sexual arousal?
The whole person can experience sexual feelings. Why? Everything goes through the eyes, you like the person. The mind gets involved, you start to see the potential benefits as well as the pros and cons of that person. Of course, if your the individual who think with the mind and not with the heart because when you think with the heart that is when everything starts to go downhill. Then, after the mind gets involved and you decide whether or not that person you choose is right for you, you start to feel attached towards that person. That's now when you involve your heart. The heart is the emotional state, it describes the feelings. And, once you involve the heart then the body becomes aroused. Now, will you pay attention to those desires or will you detain them? As for the phrase: "It is not the body alone that experiences sexual feelings; it is the whole person." It is true. The whole body experiences sexual feelings one way or another.
Now, let's move on to the next part of the phrase:
"Sexual attraction and feelings have a purpose in God's plan of creation."
Is it true, or is it false? What do you think? Sexual attraction was implanted since the beginning of creation when God created Adam and Eve. Let's read Genesis 2: 18, 21-25 "<u>Then Jehovah God said: “It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.” 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. 22 The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. 23 The man said,
</u>
<u>
</u>
<u>“This is now bone of my bones,
</u>
<u>And flesh of my flesh;
</u>
<u>She shall be called Woman,
</u>
<u>Because she was taken out of Man.”
</u>
<u>
</u>
<u>24 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh</u>."
As we can see here, God saw it unfit that man be alone. So, he made a woman out of one of his ribs. And, when Adam saw Eve there was an instant attraction. As we can see sexual attraction is part of God's purpose. But, why? Let's read Genesis 1: 27 "<u>God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 God blessed them; and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it; and rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over every living thing that moves on the earth.</u>”
As we can see their purpose was to have many children and to fill the Earth with people, to live forever. That was God's purpose since the very beginning. Now, God hates people that sin and do not respect the union of marriage or is promiscuous. 1 Corinthians 6:18 states: "<u>Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.</u>" And, Hebrews 13:4 states: "<u>Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous</u>."
