The Old Testament does NOT discourage sexual relationships for one moment. In fact it just puts it into a proper context of a heterosexual marriage, made for the pleasure of its covenant participants, designed by an all-wise Creator. In chapter 5 the father gives advice to his son. The father recognizes that sex is a major temptation in the life of a young man. A legitimate sexual union between a male & female in the form of marriage, is the father's worldview. All other sexual behavior is a threat that misleads those seeking intimate physical relationships.

Ordinary life and the life of Faith are not two separate spheres, but one unified experience of God's creation. All of life is regarded as a seamless fabric according to the implications of the author of Proverbs.

Paul proclaims himself as the "chief" of sinners. This is not just attention grabbing rhetoric. He was a Christian killer before his encounter with Christ. Yet, Paul was commissioned to exercise judgement in disciplinary church matters. How was he able to do this without hypocrisy?
