Notes
Romantic Attention – Sexual Satisfaction – Love Unfailing
The Church has been hurtful when it repeats the responses of silence, scorn and shame when it comes to romance, sex and love.
“The worst feature of Christian religion, is its attitude towards sex.” Bertrand Russell -Athiest
“Church” Sex is dirty and bad. Sexual failure is worse. Women are less. God is anti-pleasure. There is abuse and hypocrisy. Denies complexity.
Humanity: Marriage disintegration, 81% of women sexually harassed, 5 million people, sex trafficked, 1 out of 4 women sexually assaulted, 1 out of 2 15-24 year olds STD, 3.5 Billion porn visits per month, 70 Million Child pornography
Our dream of great romance, amazing sex and fairytale love often ends up dysfunctional and damaged.
Male and Females are EQUAL image-bearers. God invented sex and orgasms. Jesus undoes the myth that sex failures are worse. Jesus is for marriage for protection, NOT for patriarchy, Jesus is the author of human dignity.
So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Genesis 1:27
Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the… Genesis 1:28
As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd. John 8:3
Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you? No, Lord, she said. And Jesus said, Neither, do I. Go and sin no more. John 8:10-11
Some Pharisees came and tried to trap him with this question: Should a man be able to divorce his wife for just any reason? Matthew 19:3
Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had originally intended. Matthew 19:8
A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. John 13:34
The goodness we dream of can’t come from the love of self-gratification, it only happens with a selfless love.
Jesus came to restore all life which includes romance, sex and love.
