What about Pre-Marital Sex?
This OCCNA holds to the biblical teaching that sexual intercourse is reserved for marriage. Sex is a gift of God to be fully enjoyed and experienced only within marriage. The marriage bed is to be kept “pure and undefiled” (Hebrew 13:4), and men and women are called to remain celibate outside of marriage. Our sexuality, like many other things about us human beings, affects our relationship with God, others, and ourselves. It may be employed as a means of glorifying God and fulfilling His image in us, or it may be perverted and abused as an instrument of sin, causing great damage to others and us. St. Paul writes, “Do you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore, glorify God in your body” (I Corinthians 6:19, 20).
Why do you not say “from the son” in the Nicene Creed?
This clause the “filioque” was added to the creed by the Roman Church in the second millennia of the Church. The creed itself was written in an Ecumenical Council of the early church at which time it was agreed to by all in the catholic church that no one church would change the creed outside of council. The Roman Church claimed supremacy when making the change – this action led to the separation of the Eastern (Orthodox) and Western (Roman) Churches.
