But the fact is, God s moral code was given to us for a good reason. Sexual relationships are given by God to be part of the marriage covenant. When they are part of the marriage covenant, they bring joy and happiness to the marriage partners, propagate the human race, strengthen society, and are actually a spiritual experience. When sexual relationships are practiced in rebellion to God, they hurt both participants and society in general. The Bible is very clear in describing God s moral code.
Liberals are fond of criticizing the sexual moral code laid down in Scripture.
They accuse this moral code of being harsh, judgmental, and repressive. The Lord also warns against the thought patterns that lead to such behavior. That whosever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. All of these terms imply a lack of self-control and moral restraint. Just think what our culture would be like if everyone took God s moral code seriously.
