Culture's View

• The culture teaches that gender is learned, not innate.
• The culture also teaches that sex is for pleasure and has nothing to do with God.
• The culture teaches marriage, it is not an institute ordained by God.
• What is the solution to this view infiltrating the church? Glorify God through His design.
  

Biblical View

• Gender is something I am before anything else.
• Sex is first of all for God's glory - it was not just created by God, it was commanded by Him!
• Marriage is not a cultural phenomenon, it is a universal truth given and blessed by God. (A man is to love his wife as Christ loves the Church - I need to take this seriously)
• Marriage is a little example of the Gospel for the world to see enacted in the relationship between a Christian man and his wife.
