So, as you know, this week at True we are talking about sex and relationships. The bible has a lot to say about this subject, and one of the verses that I’ve found really interesting is 1 Timothy 5:2 – “treat younger men as brothers… and younger women as sisters, with absolute purity.”
When you think about it, this is quite a challenging bit of scripture! It means that we need to treat all members of the opposite sex as our brothers/sisters, the only exception to this rule being our future/husbands wives! Would you flirt with your brother? Or make out with your sister? The world takes the opposite view to the bible on this subject; we’re constantly being told by our friends and by the media that we should push the boundaries, go as far as we possibly can with the opposite sex, that our purity means nothing, even that it’s something we should be embarrassed of.
But in this verse God’s telling us we should do the opposite to the world’s view and live in “absolute purity”, it’s something to think about.
