I CORINTHIANS - CHAPTER SEVEN

By: Scribe Valdemir Mota de Menezes 

This chapter Paul devoted himself to explain Christian concepts on subjects such as dating, marriage, widowhood, celibacy, and divorce. Are basic and fundamental concepts, does not cover all details of married life, but gives for anyone to understand that being single, the only worthwhile is to be pure, not live in sexual immorality and especially to enjoy the freedom of being single and use it to work more for the kingdom of God. Marriage is sacred. The purpose of marriage is not self-satisfying, but serve another person as your partner.

SER MACHO OU FÊMEA É RELEVANTE - VALDEMIR MOTA DE MENEZES

Estaria os amigos dizendo que ser macho ou fêmea não era relevante para os cristãos primitivos? Estão querendo dizer que o genero sexual não é importante? Estão querendo dizer de forma sutil que ser transsexual ou gay não é relevante para o reino de Deus?

O Homossexualismo é totalmente reprovável nas cartas de Paulo como em toda a Bíblia.
"Por isso também Deus os entregou às concupiscências de seus corações, à imundícia, para desonrarem seus corpos entre si;
Pois mudaram a verdade de Deus em mentira, e honraram e serviram mais a criatura do que o Criador, que é bendito eternamente. Amém.
Por isso Deus os abandonou às paixões infames. Porque até as suas mulheres mudaram o uso natural, no contrário à natureza.
E, semelhantemente, também os homens, deixando o uso natural da mulher, se inflamaram em sua sensualidade uns para com os outros, homens com homens, cometendo torpeza e recebendo em si mesmos a recompensa que convinha ao seu erro."

Romanos 1:24-27

HOMOSSEXUALITY IS TOTALLY REPREHENSIBLE IN PAUL' LETTERS

Valdemir Mota de Menezes

What did some early Christian communities think about gender and the story of creation ?

I do not understand this question . Would friends saying that being male or female was not relevant to the early Christians ? Are saying that sexual gender is not important ? Are subtly implying that being gay or transsexual is not relevant for the kingdom of God ?

The Homosexuality is totally reprehensible in Paul's letters as in the entire Bible .

" Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity , to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves ;

Who changed the truth of God into a lie , and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator , who is blessed forever . Amen

For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions . For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men committing what is shameful , and receiving in themselves the recompense which was fitting for their error . "

Romans 1:24-27
