The intentions of Eve’s actions aren’t taken into consideration in religious communities and instead the focus shifts to the consequences of Eve’s actions for succumbing to the temptation offered to her by the serpent. Her insubordination to God, as perceived by Orthodox Christians, justifies a woman’s desire for sin and sexuality (Kvam), despite the concept of sexuality never arising within the chapters of Genesis. However, the reasoning behind these interpretations of Eve justify the role of women in the world in the Christian religion with Eve holding the blame for the presence of sin and why human error and mortality exist in the world. Alternatively, the ideas of “sin” and “sexuality” shows the truth in Eve’s human nature as a result…

Because of sin entering the world through Adam and Eve’s rebellion against God, our perceptions and methods of obtaining pleasure are twisted. Consequently, our position to God,…

John Corvino provides many different arguments in support of sexually active homosexual relationships. Corvino’s following arguments support his thesis, that there is no moral objection based on biblical teaching or naturality to participate in a sexually active same sex relationship. Some of the many arguments Corvino provides state that acts cannot be moral or immoral based on: what is disgusting, unnatural, practiced in other species or proceeds from innate desires.
