Moral Issues

Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit and she exclaimed with a loud cry, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! . . . For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.--Luke 2:41-42,44

He spilled the semen on the ground, lest he should give offspring to his brother.  And what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD, and he slew him also.--Genesis 38:9-10

Shun immorality.  Every other sin which a man commits is outside the body; but the [sexually--pornos Gr.] immoral man sins against his own body.  Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God?  You are not your own; you were bought with a price.  So glorify God in your body.--1 Corinthians 6:18-20
