Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
God speaking to men by the Holy Spirit through the apostle Paul ... I Cor. 6 ... 15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.
18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19 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? 20 For ye are bought with a price:therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
The above is God speaking to men. It would be unthinkable for a woman to act like a man. But today this is exactly what happens and people, even in churches, tend to view men and women as the same, with same rules and same instructions.
In the Old Testament, before Christ came in the flesh and died and was resurrected, we have many examples to show us what people were like. Men had children by multiple wives and concubines and were approved by God.
In the New Testament we have an instruction where an "elder" is to be the husband of one wife. Titus 1:6 ...
Paul explains to us that a man who has sex with an harlot is out of line in the New Testament. I Cor. 6 ... This is even a sin against his own body ...
And what of women? It is unthinkable for women to have sex with multiple men as we see portrayed today on various TV shows. We must be living very close to judgment for these sins to be the case as they are now.
A godly woman is a woman who has sex after she is married. She was made for the man. The man was not made for her. She was to be a helper. (Genesis 2)
Proverbs 31 says: 11 The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her,...12 She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.
It is unimaginable to think of a woman in the church being any other way.
Again, we must be living very close to judgment today for the evil is so accepted by society in general. (It is like Sodom before it was destroyed by God.)

Genesis 1 ... 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness:and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,
In the Old Testament examples, we have many examples of women who were barren and greatly desired children and pled with God for a child. I can't think of any example where a woman did things to her own body to keep from conceiving children.
Conceiving children was a part of God's command when God said, "Be fruitful, and multiply."
We must be very close to God's judgment today for men and women to consider children to be penalties of sex rather than rewards from God.
Psalm 127 ...
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord:
and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
4 As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man;
so are children of the youth.
5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed,
but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate.
How evil the thinking today to take various drugs to abort pregnancy and to keep a woman from becoming pregnant so sex can be childless.
(The following is my own thought and I'm not saying it is from God but for many years I have wondered if the many cancers among women have to do with this birth control pill and the way women thwart the way of God with these manufactured devices. Certainly there must be some penalties for such.)
Nevertheless, we are very far today from the Bible in the case of most humans on this earth.
Certainly there is a judgment from God both on this present earth and later.
Shouldn't we draw even nearer to the Bible in times like these?

In one instruction to the NT church Paul said ... 9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the wife of one man, 10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints 'feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.
11 But the younger widows refuse:for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry; 12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith. 13 And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. 14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, bear children, guide the house, give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully. 15 For some are already turned aside after Satan. I Tim. 5
Today Paul would find "many" or "most" women turned aside after Satan ... even women calling themselves Christian ... not willing to have less materials goods in order to stay home and care for their children but out at jobs getting more money while their children are raised by other people and they call themselves Christian in their pursuit of materials goods and in their pursuit of person achievement, personal glory for themselves.
But God sees ... even now ...
We must be somewhere near judgment.
