Modern Views of Sexuality Are More Enlightened Than the Bible

Episode Summary: In today’s episode we will discover that the modern “enlightened” view of sexuality actually undervalues sexuality and that it is, in fact, the Biblical view that upholds sex as a precious treasure. We examine four common messages about sexuality articulated and assumed by today’s social media and how the biblical view is richer and corresponds much more to reality.

Questions for Guiding the Rising Generation to Think About this Material 

1. (I know that talking about sex is embarrassing. But it is a very important part of life.) What is your opinion of the modern view that sex is just a way to satisfy a normal bodily appetite? Do you believe the biblical worldview makes more sense? Why or why not?
2. What is your opinion about pornography? What did you learn that was new to you?
3. What is your opinion about sex being the normal way to say, “I love you romantically?” How would you try to persuade a friend that waiting for marriage to have sex is the best thing to do?
4. Do you know Christian kids who are gay bashers? Why do advocates of the gay lifestyle use the ad homonym argument to label those who disagree homophobic? Why is it loving, if you had the chance, to guide someone AWAY from the gay life?
