School Lesson

OK so I promised some updates on what we have been learning these past two days so I will try my best to put into words what we have been learning. These first two topics are from our Dean Sherman videos, the first one is on Relationships, and the second is on Sex.
Relationships
Relationships are the root of every problem in the world. God relates to man, and through Jesus Christ's death we are able to relate man to man. If we are not right with God we are not right with fellow man and if we are not right with our fellow man then we are not right with God. The biggest issue in relationships is PRIDE. Most of the difficulties you will run into with relationships has to do with someone's PRIDE. There are 2 faces of PRIDE, the first being arrogant and the second being inferior. Arrogant is obviously the fact that we think we are better then something else, and the inferior complex is the fact that you believe that you are nothing and nobody. Both of these are types of PRIDE.
Relationships are necessary. The value of people, and your knowlegde of this value makes it necessary for you to relate. We relate according to value and not behavior. We can easily step on a cockroach but not a baby, why you may ask. Because we know that the baby is innocent, beautiful and valuable. There is also the factor of the value of the relationship, there is always a 3rd party. There is a husband and there is a wife, but the third party you have to factor in is that of the marriage too. You have to value your wife, but you also have to value your marriage. Relationships are also possible. They are possible through God, because He is relationship. The Father loves the Son, and the Son the Father, out of that love comes the third party, the Holy Spirit.
Christianity is nothing more than relationships, not a religion. Jesus came to restore relationships.
If evoluntionists are right, and matter is matter, then why do we matter?? Why is there more value on human lives then that of the cockroach!!! Because matter isn't just matter. Evolutionary teaching declines our value as humans.
Christianity is not hard, two things you have to do between life and death, love God and love your neighbor and yourself. If you leave out the first one you are a humanist, and if you leave out the second you are a Pharisee. The biggest thing in society is Sex. God thought up and created two sexes. The most fulfilled and fulfilling people are the one's whole with Christ. Sex is an outward expression of an inward condition. Satan wants to destroy sex and to let you never be fulfilled by it!!! Sex is a 100% from God, there is nothing dirty about sex. Satan is a fallen angel and angels do not have sexual orientation, so how would he know about sex at all!!
Sex like stated before is the biggest thing in society, but yet as Christians we do not talk about it openly. It is shunned, what we have done with it has made it what it is today, but the Lord is the one who made it so it is not dirty!!
One last thought:
There are no new sins under the sun. Sin is boring, it's not new, it is repetitive, it's all the same, you can't find your individuality in sinning, it only confines you. When someone says they need to find themselves and only engulf themselves in sin, are not being individuals or finding themselves. Only in Christ can we find our uniqueness, because everyone is different.
