1 Practical lessons for living a balanced, fulfilled and happy life are found in the Ten Commandments. For the last three weeks as we have studied the first six commandments, we've seen how each refutes lies that our culture tries to get us believe in the name of living a full, good life. Believing these popular myths do not lead to more freedom, happiness, or fulfillment. With the seventh commandment, several myths need to be debunked. Our society is saturated with lies about sex that the world tries to convince us are true, but God's Word is truth and refutes each of these lies.
Sex is merely a physical act with no real consequences.
Proponents of this view say that sex is merely a biological imperative - solely a function of the evolutionary drive to reproduce. Sex is thought of as a need that must be fulfilled much like satisfying a hunger for food. If this is true, then we might as well have as much sex as we can with as many people as we can. We couldn't help ourselves. Lust overcame us.
