Christian teaching on human sexuality.

Answer Text:
Christian teaching on human sexuality.
The Christian view of human sexuality is derived from the Bible. Men and women were created for many reasons. These are (1) to be fruitful and to multiply; and (2) for companionship. In Genesis we learn that men and women share the image of God because God intended man and woman to play complementary roles
and both are equal before God.
Sex in marriage is a sign of love and it is sacred. In marriage man and woman become one flesh. Both of them have the ability to control their sexual desires. Christian teaching forbids: sex before marriage, adultery or unfaithfulness, and other unnatural sexual behaviours like lesbianism,
homosexuality and incest. God created human body and it is to be kept holy. Chastity is encouraged while unfaithfulness in marriage is discouraged. Husbands / wives are to respect one another and give to each other a mutual love.
