SEXUAL MORALITY Devan
Sexual Morality means morality with respect to sexual relations. It's also concern with the distinction between good and evil or right and wrong; right or conduct. Christian sexual morality is mostly positive, not negative. Along side an assortment of thou shalt not, the Bible is pervaded by a positive teaching that men and women were created for each other and that marriage is holy and blessed. (Genesis2:24).So the criterion of all sexual behavior is not merely whether it vio-lates a "thou shalt not "-it's also whether it's on track relative to God' plan. Does this mean that only married people are first –class citizens of God's Kingdom? The answer is No. There are many reasons why it might be God's will for a particular person not to marry .Don't consider yourself inferior if you are not married.God may have special plans for you..Many great saints have been single people. Although Christianity is commonly thought to be a religion based on Jesus Christ's teachings. Sexual Morality deals with the sexual relation between two people as we name them husband and wife. It 'also says about the good and evil in the world.Sexualethics centered in love can give principled structure without legalistic absolutes. They will press towards the principle of single standards (not doubt ones) for sexual morality. The same basic considerations apply equally to the male and female, to the aged and the young, the married and unmarried, the able to bodied and differently-able, the homosexual and heterosexual. A sexual ethic of this type will be neither legalistic nor normless.It will place considerable responsibility upon the individual and it a life. It will be sensitive to concrete situations, motivations, and relationships. It will be centered upon person's more than abstract concepts. If past Christian sexual ethics were rooted in a deep suspicion of the body and its desire and hence placed primary emphasis upon the discipline and channeling of sexual expression, the present task is to shape an ethic which, without ignoring its destructive capacity, seeks fundamentally to enhance sexuality's power to contribute to human fulfillment in communion. Love's source is god and a Christian sexual ethic of love takes its content from faith's perceptions of god's ways with humankind-in divine creativity, in reconciliation, and in sustaining, fulfilling, liberating, and justice making activity.Sexualdesire is mated with desire for communion with and fulfillment in the other and with a strong element of mutuality and friendship and the transformative power of self-giving.
