Introducción a la Biblia & Teología (Exam 2)Introducción a la Biblia parte IIIntroducción a la Biblia & Teología (Exam 1)** 2.4. - A Bondade e Grandeza de Deus na Bíblia3.2 Sexual relationships: Christian teachings about sexual relationships Christianity teaches that sexual relationships should only take place between a man and a woman who are married to each other. The Bible says throughout that: Sex should only take place within marriage and that all other forms of sexual activity are forbidden Marriage should be respected, and the sexual relationship between a husband and wife should be kept pure After death, God will judge and punish people who commit adultery and those who are sexually immoral. Christian attitudes towards sexual relationships can vary. Some Christians agree with these points. They think sex before marriage, adultery, prostitution, and homosexual relationships are wrong, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians 6:7–20, for example. They think these kinds of sexual relationships disrespect the human body which, according to the Bible, is the ‘temple of the Holy Spirit’ and belongs to God. The purity ring (Figure 3.2) is how some Christians choose to show their views on sexual purity. Two Christian views on sexual relations View 1: Some Christians argue the main purpose of sex within marriage is to have children. This means sex should only take place between a man and a woman, as same-sex couples cannot naturally produce a child. Christians base this belief on a biblical command from the Creation in Genesis 1:28. This says human beings are to be ‘fruitful and increase in number’. Other Christians say that sex between a husband and wife has another purpose: it is an important expression of their love and unites them as a couple. This comes from Genesis 2:24, which refers to a man and a woman being united in ‘one flesh’. View 2: Some Christians think the attitudes in View 1 are outdated. They would argue that Christianity is about agape (selfless, unconditional love). They think it is wrong to criticise sex in a relationship that is committed and loving, even if those involved are cohabiting rather than married. This means some Christians might also find sexual relationships between homosexuals acceptable within a permanent and caring relationship. Christians disagree with people having sex within casual or short-term relationships. Atheist and Humanist attitudes towards sexual relationships Depending on their personal views, atheists may have differing opinions about: Some sexual activities Sex outside of marriage Adultery Prostitution Homosexuality. Their views would not be based on religious teachings. Freedom and choice are two important Humanist values, providing they do not cause harm to anyone else. Humanists believe consenting adults should be free to have the sexual relationships they want as long as those relationships do not damage others. Humanists are opposed to all forms of sexual abuse and exploitation. As with any choice made by human beings, Humanists believe people should think about the consequences of their sexual relationships, making responsible and thoughtful choices that take into account the happiness of those involvedBibliography A list of works cited or otherwise relevant to a subject or other work.
