HUMAN SEXUALITY
CHAPTER 11
Tensions between duty, character, and genetics
-
Human dignity/VALUE
design of human dignity and value evident in God's commands for sexual relationships, especially (monogomy preserves our dignity!!)
The way we are commanded to respond to those who are not saved is to love, and also preserves their dignity and value

-
Singleness: An equal gift, imparted to those who don't "burn with lust"
CHAPTER 18
Scripture offers no evidence that God's intention for marriage was anything other than male/female (pg 4653)
-
Arguments against scripture's intention and interpretation have holes. When scripture implies homosexual relations in the context of sin, that's what it means.
Giving sexuality over to "natural desires" leads to a host of other problems with what is "natural", but we also accept as immoral and wrong
-
Homosexuality is not genetically. Most commonly, it is derived from poor relationships with same-sex parents and/or peers that is sexualized after puberty

TARDO READINGS
Christianity answers who the final moral authority is, what the highest good is, and the role of choice
(Hint: It's God's good, and our choice to follow it, but ultimately he is soveriegn)

-
OT ethics centered on law, NT centered on grace- core principles remain the same
God actually tolerated more in OT than in NT, because there was no savior or Holy Spirit that all people could always access
