When a human blood is constantly polluted, especially if the pollutants accumulate, it will mess up not only the physical well-being of a person but the human spirit also.
Why? Gen.2.16 – “And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, You may freely eat of every tree of the garden;
Gen.2.17 - But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and blessing and calamity you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die.”
The death the Lord God was talking about was not only physical but spiritual. Spiritual death is separation from God. When a human spirit is constantly being tortured through pollution of the blood, connection with God becomes difficult – that is the devil’s goal.
You may wonder why Adam and Eve didn’t drop dead after they ate the fruit. Physical death through pollution of the blood is progressive. But Jesus (God through His own Spirit in human flesh) came to earth to die for the sins of humanity to save those who believe from spiritual death. John.3.16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (KJV).
So you may then ask, “Even if the human blood of someone who has given the life to Christ is being polluted, surely that cannot affect the person's spiritual connection with God? To address that, follow this below carefully: “have you ever wondered why some Christian men and sometimes women of God who undoubtedly have been very spiritual do or scheme to do insane things e.g. very serious sexual misconduct?” They know the inappropriate action is wrong, they would even try to hide it. For many, they earnestly, sincerely desire to stop such but keep yielding to such misconducts. They would pray and fast but afterwards they may still find themselves engaging in such misconduct or scheming to actualise it. So in trying to prevent themselves and others from yielding to such misconduct, they may insist on some rules such as mandating everyone to get married as soon as possible. This is in hope that being married would create a barrier or a check to yielding to such excesses or inappropriate sexual conduct.
Such stance is often with very good intentions but truth be told, it doesn’t always work. It only makes some people more determined to hide such inappropriate actions or misconduct if they yield to it. Fear of repercussions may keep some in check until they find opportunities they believe they can get away with or that they can clean up their tracks if they get accused. Although discipline plays a huge part in exercising sekf-control in this matter but the problem is sometimes very much deeper than that. A person who cannot control the sexual desire while single, constantly, consciously yielding to it would likely not be able to restrain from misconducts when married except the opportunities to yield do not arise.
Some non-Christian faiths in addition to insistence on early marriage to check sexual misconducts even mandate the female to cover up her entire body or as much as possible. They also allow multiple spouses within their faith. Have those measures effectively been able to generally curb inappropriate sexual behaviours? No!
Have you ever asked why instead of Adam and Eve dropping dead after eating the fruit, what immediately happened was that their eyes were opened and they knew they were naked?
Gen.3.1 - Now the serpent was more subtle and crafty than any living creature of the field which the Lord God had made. And he [Satan] said to the woman, Can it really be that God has said, You shall not eat from every tree of the garden?
Gen.3.2 - And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit from the trees of the garden,
Gen.3.3 - Except the fruit from the tree which is in the middle of the garden. God has said, You shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.
Gen.3.4 - But the serpent said to the woman, You shall not surely die,
Gen.3.5 - For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing the difference between good and evil and blessing and calamity.
Gen.3.6 - And when the woman saw that the tree was good (suitable, pleasant) for food and that it was delightful to look at, and a tree to be desired in order to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she gave some also to her husband, and he ate.
Gen.3.7 - Then the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves apronlike girdles.”
Adam and Eve’s eyes were not blind before. So why did eating what God said they should not eat because it would make them die, firstly 'opened their eyes' and made them conscious of their physical nakedness?
