The Ten Commandments - The Seventh Commandment: Adultery and Sexual Morality

The Deep Dive Team discuss Reverend Philip Rimmer's sermon, "The Seventh Commandment," published in the Orange Banner, examines the biblical injunction against adultery from Exodus. The sermon asserts that while God created sexual desire for marital satisfaction between a man and a woman, its unlawful expression is sinful. Rev. Rimmer identifies and condemns specific sexual sins mentioned in scripture, including fornication, adultery, bestiality, and homosexuality. He emphasises that this commandment extends beyond physical acts to include lustful thoughts. The sermon acknowledges humanity's inherent inclination towards these sins and highlights the necessity of God's grace and Christ's sacrifice for salvation. Rimmer also discusses God's provision for managing sexual urges through celibacy for some and the sanctity of marriage for others.Check out our website www.gole.org.uk
