The whole view of sexual morality is based on the idea that sex is spiritual, and that by definition makes it moral, Heimbach told Citizen . Ironically, Heimbach pointed out, the pagan view does overlap with Christianity-and that's just what makes it dangerous. In one sense it's close to the biblical view because it understands that sex is fundamentally spiritual, he said. But at the same time it's the diabolical opposite of Christian sexual morality as God gives it to us. The fact that something's a spiritual experience doesn't make it good.
Sin is spiritual, as much as holiness is.
To guard against confusion, Rev. Tolbert argues, there's no substitute for a vigorous reassertion of scriptural truth on the part of believers. We have to teach what the Bible says about sexual activity. We teach a redeeming message of salvation and forgiveness. We teach how to live a lifestyle in keeping with biblical principles. Our goal is to develop mature believers who learn how to obey God in their daily lives.
