Porn & Sexuality

In the beginning, God (Genesis 1:1a). That says it all. The living God created man in His very image— “let us make human beings in our image, to be like us”—and God blessed the man and woman with this commission: “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it” (see Genesis 1:26, 28a). Without question, we can know that in the beginning, sex was good and certainly from God. The man was a gift to woman, and woman a gift to man. Jesus even quotes from the book of beginnings when He is confronted by the Pharisees who were pressing Him on the issue of divorce: “Should a man be allowed to divorce his wife…?” (Matthew 19:3).
“Haven’t you read the Scriptures?” Jesus replied. “They record that from the beginning ‘God made them male and female.’ And He said, ‘This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.’ Since they are no longer two but one, let no one split apart what God has joined together” (Matthew 19:4-6). But in the Garden of Eden, man sinned when he doubted God’s word. Influenced by an enemy of God through his wife, Eve, Adam fell into a trap that still entangles us today—a twisting of the truth that can derail our journey.
