13 PAGES (6243 WORDS) Theology Paper

Introduction

Today, there is a problem of morality. There are professing Christians that argue that the Bible permits committed, loving homosexual relationships. Some other Christians justify going to R-rated movies by saying, “I need to understand where our culture is at. Also, some argue that genuine Christians may fall into habitual immorality or greed and that the consequence is, they lose their rewards, not eternal life. And these spring up the question of ‘Where is the balance between being in the world, but not of the world as expressed in John 17:15-16? And to other Christians, they are asking, “How can we keep a check on ourselves so that we do not cross the line? Yet the Bible is not silent as it has to do with sexuality and sensuality. This exegetical paper seeks to address this issue and bring to limelight what the biblical stand is on sexuality and sensuality using the epistle of Apostle Paul to Ephesians 5:3-6.
