There are three ways to behave in relation to the holy texts of the Bible:

1. The biblical way – which is in agreement with the Holy Bible;
2. The anti-biblical way – which is against the Bible; and
3. The extra-biblical way – which is not written in the Bible and, therefore, depends on faith.

In the first and second cases, there is nothing to argue about. In the third case, however, Christian conscience is what must determine it.

For example, the Bible does not forbid smoking, dealing or injecting drugs. But because Christians are the temple of the Holy Spirit, it is clear that such attitudes are contrary to nature and, therefore contrary to the will of God.

Likewise, promiscuity and sodomy are aggressions to the divine nature. The Bible calls them “vile passions”.

“For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” (Romans 1.26,27)

Man is the image and glory of God, but the woman is the glory of man (1 Corinthians 11.7). For this reason spirits contrary to God have used such attitudes to belittle the glory of the Most High.

Also, about divorce, Jesus said, “what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Mark 10.9).

But, what about marriages entered into without God?

Therefore, divorce becomes an alternative to repair an attitude taken without God’s approval.

Christian behaviour should be balanced and based on intelligent faith, so that it won’t give rise to any doubts.
