- Since God created sexuality as a reflection of his very being, sexual sin is not only a sin against humans and society, but against God. It is often compared to idolatry, and takes us back to the first command.

Exodus 20 | Deuteronomy 5 |
Exo 20:14 "You shall not commit adultery. | Deu 5:18 "Neither shall you commit adultery. |
