Catholic Bible Study

As a Christian, we know and understand the saving grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and even though our sins are forgiven when we believe in Him, we are still commanded to turn from sin. Throughout the Bible, there are many verses that point out these sins the Christian is to avoid and it is important to understand what God considers a sin. As I read through these sins, many are mentioned multiple times and in various places in the Bible. Sins of a sexual nature seem to appear more often in the Bible and my personal belief is because they are the most prevalent in society and the hardest to avoid.

It is easy for the Christian to criticize or judge those that exhibit the most blatant of sexual sins, but there are sexual sins that have become so common that we tend to disregard them as normal. Adultery or a person having an affair is one of those sins. Obviously we know that if you are married, it is wrong to have an affair outside of your marriage, but we have become so complacent when we see it. How often do you see someone on TV or in a movie that falls in love with another person other than his or her spouse? How often do you see someone in your church that divorces because his or her marriage is no longer exciting? Then my favorite excuse is when someone says my spouse no longer fulfills my needs and looks for love and excitement in another person. Sure, there are real reasons for couples to divorce and separate, but the lack of sexual excitement is not one of them.
