Quotes about Immorality

The clergymen call us sinners, conceived and born in sin. Bah! What confounded nonsense that is. Is it a sin to love, to feel the need for love, not to be able to live without love? I consider a life without love a sinful and immoral state.

The apostle Paul had much to say about the immorality of individual church members, but little to say about the immorality of pagan Rome.

Integrity is loyalty to one's convictions and values; it is the policy of acting in accordance with one's values, of expressing, upholding and translating them into practical reality.

In Paul's day, writing to Corinthians about God's love was the equivalent of writing a letter on family values to Hollywood today. "Corinthian" was synonymous with immorality. To "play the Corinthian" meant to give oneself to sexual pleasure. A "Corinthian girl" was another word for a prostitute. How could Paul hope to convey an understanding of God's pure love to a city steeped in perversion?

Our magazine covers frequently feature the immoral, the perverted, the psychologically sick. Sin is "in." People don't like to be told they are sinners".

Perversion is considered a biological abnormality rather than a sin. These things are contrary to the teaching of God's Word. And God has not changed. His standards have not been lowered. God still calls immorality a sin and the Bible says God is going to judge it.

New morality is nothing more than the old immorality brought up to date.

What happens when lying and stealing and immorality and murder become the norm? The result can be summarized in one word: chaos.

Immorality is glorified today. The Scripture teaches that God hates immorality! The ideal of purity is scorned, immorality is laughed at in school—"God is old-fashioned!" What else can we expect but that thousands of our young people are growing up to be immoral?7
