Do Musical Instruments Belong in The Church?
Q: Do musical instruments belong in the church? How do we reconcile the Church of Christ belief that instruments in church are wrong?
Human beings seem to inherently be sexual beings. Was sexual desire present before the Fall? Or, put another way, did God create us to be sexual beings, or is it part of our fallen nature?
Before the fall, God invented sex as a form of intimacy to be a blessing within marriage. Therefore, we have always been sexual beings. It is important to know that within God’s purpose, it is not sin, but outside of this purpose, it is sin. Sexual intimacy is a gift of God to a husband and wife, and it is a wonderful blessing.
