Genesis 2:18-25; Mark. 7:24-30
Being human is either being man or woman. Human sexuality is a given not a choice one makes. Moreover, there exists a natural attraction of the sexes - man is naturally attracted to woman and woman is naturally attracted to man. But though man and woman are sexually different they are, however, equal in dignity. Such is the order of creation from the beginning. And man and woman found joy in their sexual difference and sexual complementarity as is conveyed by the verse “Both the man and his wife were naked and were not ashamed.” Human sexual relationship is beautiful; it is part of the good in God’s creation.
It is when man tries to defy this order set by God from the beginning that mars the beauty of human sexuality. There is much evil when one tampers with one’s sexual identity. No good can come out of a same sex union. And surely there is much evil in sexual relationship outside of marriage as decreed by the Creator.
Radio Veritas Asia (RVA), a media platform of the Catholic Church, aims to share Christ. RVA started in 1969 as a continental Catholic radio station to serve Asian countries in their respective local language, thus earning the tag “the Voice of Asian Christianity.” Responding to the emerging context, RVA embraced media platforms to connect with the global Asian audience via its 21 language websites and various social media platforms.
