‘Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body.’ (I Corinthians 6:18)
When someone publicized his sexually explicit photos and video through the internet, can he still say that he is doing them at his personal time and as a private individual? Or is it merely a ‘victimless’ crime (since it involves only willing participants) as no one has been harmed or hurt through the process?
We live in an individualistic society to the point we think this is the way that all people should live. The root of individualism is selfishness and self-glorification. Abigail Van Buren once said, “There are two kinds of people, those who walk into a room and say, ‘There you are’, and those who say,’Here I am.’”
The new generation is growing up in a world of advanced technology. It brings both positive and negative influences. In area of values, they are often neutral; what feels good is good and wrong is relative. There is no clear definition of right and wrong.
Our society has to send a very clear signal of disapproval to such actions. History shows that a society that tolerates immorality would eventually lead to its downfall.
