Sex Its Unknown Dimension

BY DAVID C. PACK

The world has been ignorant of the TRUE PURPOSES of sex. The result has been untold pain and suffering for the masses! This misery—now epidemic—is measured in disease, new kinds of perversion, unwanted pregnancies yielding abortions, illegitimate children or unwanted children in marriage, sky-rocketing divorce rates, which in turn produce corresponding numbers of jumbled families, bankruptcies, court battles and even crime.

Sadly, these conditions grow worse and more complicated, with each new generation compounding the problems and evils of the previous one.

Tragedy, unhappiness and confusion about sex and marriage have afflicted every nation of the world for thousands of years, and people have not known where to turn for the ANSWERS—the SOLUTIONS—to so many ill effects, now running rampant.

But there are answers—there are solutions—and you can know them. What has not been known is that there is a VITAL MISSING DIMENSION to marriage and sex that was not explained until the twentieth century.

This book reveals it!

INTRODUCTION

In 1964, Herbert W. Armstrong (1892-1986), Pastor General of the Worldwide Church of God, and Chancellor of the three Ambassador Colleges it sponsored, published a book then titled GOD SPEAKS OUT ON “The New Morality.” Several years later, it was given a new title, THE MISSING DIMENSION IN SEX. This book’s earliest edition was written to be a college textbook for the incoming freshman students at these colleges. Mr. Armstrong recognized, even then, the already serious and growing disaster of the sexual revolution—the “New Morality.” His book was most explicit, as will be this one.

Within twenty years, almost a million and a half copies of Mr. Armstrong’s book had been distributed, eventually reaching virtually every nation and territory of the world. This extraordinary book was later discontinued by his successors, and its vital principles were lost to nearly the entire generation that followed. With the rapid acceleration of the sexual revolution, begun in the late 1950s and early 1960s, there came a need to rewrite the truths revealed in Mr. Armstrong’s book from a twenty-first-century perspective. This volume brings these principles and truths of such colossal importance back to life. It also works in direct concert with, and is an important companion to, my book Dating and Courtship – God’s Way.

The world is now drenched—actually drowning—in a deluge of sex, with much or most of it having no connection to any real meaning or right purpose. More than ever in history, all mankind is awash in every conceivable kind of sexual pleasure, fantasy, perversion and pursuit—in or out of marriage, and with fewer and fewer people any longer making a distinction between the two. There has come to be no end to—and virtually no limits on—advertisements, television programs, movies, books, magazines, articles, photographs and websites for every kind of pornography and sex-related activity that the misguided creative genius of human beings could devise. But sadly, there has been a worldwide drought in right understanding of these things!

Almost none know why they were born—what is the SUPREME PURPOSE for human life. Most have no idea that there even is a purpose for human existence. Philosophers are not explaining it, because they do not know what is—or whether there is—a purpose for your life. Educators are not teaching it, because no one can teach what he himself has not been taught. Scientists do not speak to this subject, because it lies outside their field. Moralists are ignorant of it—and so are the theologians of all the world’s supposed “great religions.” These religions have collectively failed a world that was counting on them for deliverance from the misery besetting all civilization.

But this ignorance has been no more evident than in the misunderstood and largely unknown purposes of sex and marriage. Believing himself to be merely the highest of the animals in an evolutionary chain, man has remained in the dark, completely unable to see a reason for sex, or for human beings existing as men and women. Yet, there is an awesome purpose for humanity collectively—and you personally—and, when fully understood, it is inseparable from the purposes of sex and the marriage institution.

It is crucial to understand that it was necessary to write this volume with several early chapters laying the all-important foundation for vital information—the unknown dimension of sex—that can only be grasped after the reader has been prepared for it.
