What Is The Ethical Issue Of Sexual Perversion

Decent Essays
Christians are properly saddened by the outright sexual perversion of society. We realize that "the body is not implied for sexual perversion, but rather for the Lord" (1 Corinthians 6:13). However a follower of Christ, as well, battles with his sexuality. Apparently irrepressible desires involve thoughts and minds and now and then overflow into our words and activities. What do we think about our own particular sexuality? In what capacity would we be able to witness to the world while we are as yet battling with our own particular substance? What help does God's words or command give us for this ethical issue?

    1. Share your observations and impressions of the book and Lewis’s argument. The book "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis offers an insight into the Christian world that I, and many other teenagers and even adults, probably have never even thought about or considered. When first reading the book I was frustrated with C.S. Lewis. The way he explained things made me feel as if he was trying to reach out to me, and any other reader, as if we were completely clueless to Christianity.…

    While Christian belief strongly goes against fornication, the human body craves it naturally as an instinct to preserve the human species. These instincts along with other pleasures known through human experience are subconscious and at times very hard to control or even limit, which leads the person toward tension with their Christian belief system. Belief can cause a confusion between human experience and belief, leading the individual to a choice between ethereal and worldly satisfaction or as Ron Rash puts it in Revival “all our other pleasures” (12). In essence this tension is a struggle between worldly satisfaction and satisfaction in the afterlife based on…

    A. Sexual misconduct is a misuse of authority and power that breaches Christian ethical principles by misusing a trust relation to gain advantage over another for personal pleasure in an abusive, exploitative, and unjust manner. Even if someone such as a parishioner, client, employee or student initiates or invites sexual content in the relationship, it is always the responsibility of the church leader (pastor, elder, officer, employer, volunteer, counselor, supervisor, teacher or adviser) to prohibit a sexual relationship. B. Sexual misconduct is a violation of the role of any church leader (pastor, elder, deacon, officer, employer, volunteer, counselor, supervisor, teacher, or adviser of any kind) who is called upon to exercise integrity, sensitivity, and caring in a trust relationship. Sexual misconduct is also a violation of the covenant to act in the best interest of persons such as parishioners, clients, co-workers, employees, and students.…

    As a child, I attended a catholic church with my mother where I was baptized, went through communion and confirmation. As a teenager in my confirmation classes, I remember being told by our Sunday school teacher that “God hates fags, but if you resist sin you can still go to heaven”. The gray area was that if you did not act on your “sexual urges”, you still had the chance to “redeem your…

    In opposition to the scriptures, Womanist Theology embraces sin, “[A womanist’s]… universality includes loving men and woman, sexually or nonsexually.” (Williams, 1) Moreover again, “The womanist loves other women sexually and nonsexually. Therefore, respect for sexual preferences is one of the marks of womanist community.” (4) A person seeking biblical spiritual development should not overlook this element present in Womanist Theology because the Scriptures are abundant on not allowing for sexual sins (Rom. 1:26, 1 Cor.…

    We live in a world where homosexuals are mocked by society. Going back in time when attitude based on homosexuality varied by era and region in Medieval Europe, this is when all sexual practices were allowed until the 12th century came along and the development of christianity changed the views on sexuality. Death by landscape starring Lois, emplifies homosexuality at a young age, whereas, Lolita starring Humbert represents a pedophile pursuing a young minor also referred to in the book a “nymphet.” When an individual begins to get involved in a relationship it is natural they label what they are sharing with their companion as “LOVE,” which in this case I declare as “LUST.” As an individual starts pursuing another, their sexuality comes into question, their social well-being is impacted and they often mistake Love with Lust.…

    Pedophilia, a word that anybody thinks badly of when heard. People with pedophilia are seen as crooks rather than an ordinary person who has a mental illness. Pedophiles should be in mental health facilities rather than in stripped of their privileges when they come out to the world and ask for help. The article “Pedophilia: A Disorder, Not a Crime,” written by Margo Kaplan, expresses these horrible incidences that these people face while struggling with pedophilia.

    1) Introduction: 1.1 Research Background Pornography is one of the largest businesses within the sexual industry, which has recently emerged as a new debate topic across different fields such as the academia and the legislation discussion.

    What we understand to be true about sexuality begins to ingrain itself in our person since the time we are born. At a young age, our parents influence our beliefs on sexuality by teaching us what is right or wrong for our gender. Over time, our peers and the media contribute to our understanding of our own sexuality as well as others’ sexuality. We are taught and socialized to follow societal norms or otherwise be faced with the possibility of being viewed negatively by others. Impositions by one 's society and culture aid in determining our attitudes towards sex and the perceived role of sexual activity in individuals.…

    Reminiscing about my fresher 's week last year, my personal highlights were getting to know the wonderful people in my staircase, signing up to dozens of exciting societies (many of which I would never actually attend) and going my first ever college Bop. I 'm sure that everyone would agree that when they saw their fresher 's week timetables, the mandatory talks on alcohol awareness and sexual consent were hardly the highlights. However, news this week that students around the country, including at Oxford, had been walking out of and/or protesting against sexual consent classes really shocked and upset me. This year, for the first time ever, Freshers at every Oxford college will be told to attend mandatory sexual consent workshops as part…
