Not sexual... like a thirsty soul that longs to be reunited with the one who gave it life. When they are reunited the one stops existing as one and becomes united with the other.
1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God? Ps 42
I am much closer to God than any person that I have ever met. God is my best friend. Sometimes I talk to him for hours and hours and hours and God talks back to me. I call him my spirit friend. You wouldn't believe how much God means to me. I feel like a little baby whenever I am with God and He is my spirit friend.
Is blood sacrifice a righteous thing? The Bible says God never commanded them and many time it says they make Him sick.
