Yes, people need to be Christians to be joined as one flesh This making into “one flesh” is accomplished by natural law Of those who have entered into a first marriage, according to Jesus' statement in Matthew 19:6, I think they have been "joined together" by God 100 percent

According to Jesus' words, we are to take **** with utmost seriousness, because **** can lead us down the road to hell itself. According to Galatians 5:19-21 those who live in sexual immorality and impurity will not inherit the kingdom of God. Seeing our brothers or sisters with agape love means we see as God sees the love with which God loves, we no longer look with ****. We have to train my eyes to see with that way. It is difficult, but with the Spirit of God in us, we can do it.

I would counsel a brother who shared with you that he had trouble with *********** by the following way. Firstly, I would convince him that this kind of **** is wrong by telling him what the Bible says and what problems to his spiritual lives it causes, so that he must stop it. Secondly, I would tell him it is not easy to do and it takes a long period of time to make him whole inside but he must take determination; thirdly I would tell that to stop feeding his ****, he must get rid of and avoid anything that trigger this ****. Instead, he must fill his mind and heart with anything that make him increasingly close to God, such as reading the Bible and spiritual books, listening spiritual songs, etc.; Fourthly, I would tell that he must pray continually that God give him strength to stop it and live holy.; Fifthly, I would tell that he do not be desperate if he fall and sin again, but come to God to have His forgiveness, and then continue the efforts to stop ****. I can protect myself against temptation over the Internet in a way that firstly, I must not try to click the links that I know they are related to ***********; secondly, if I accidentally have clicked a link that shows ***********, I must immediately cut it off, if not, I will be attracted to continue to enjoy it and cannot stop it, and then one time I enjoy it I will be addicted to it again. I can protect myself against temptation at the beach or poolside in a way that firstly, I must move to other place if I see that there are women that wear bikini so that it can generate my ****; secondly if there I can busy with my active activity such as swimming, I keep doing my activity, but after finishing my activity, I must immediately go from there, not resting there. I can protect myself against temptation with my TV in a way that firstly, I only set my TV the channels that do not show *********** in they main programs; secondly, if the channel I am watching show ***********, I must shift to other channels, do not try to watch it, one time I enjoy it I will be addicted to it again

*********** causes many problems to individuals and society as whole, which we can see in the arguments against *********** mentioned in this lesson. *********** can generate forbidden ****, that is, sexual desire that is fulfilled outside of marriage. Prostitutes causes problem that we have forbidden ****, which is sexual desire that we fulfill outside of marriage. It causes many problems to individuals and society as whole. For Christian individuals that do, it make enter into sexual immorality and impurity, which those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God (Galatians 5:19-21) The victims of this "victimless" activity are we all.

God-given sexual desire is sexual desire of men or women for the opposite sex that is fulfilled within marriage. Whereas forbidden **** is sexual desire of men or women for the opposite sex that is fulfilled outside of marriage, or sexual desire of men or women for the same sex.

The point of similarity between adultery and **** is that the both are inordinate or selfish desire coming from the heart, for carnal pleasure The difference is that in adultery the desire has been applied physically in the sexual intercourse, whereas in **** it is not. **** breaks the Tenth Commandment in a way that it breaks the command of not to coveting anything that belongs to another as stated in the commandment "You shall not covet your neighbor's house. You shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his manservant or maidservant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor" (Exodus 20:17).

About his character, Joseph accepting Mary as his wife says that he is righteous man, he did the right thing. The significance for prophetic fulfillment of Jesus as a Son of David that Joseph "named" the child "Jesus" is that through naming the child Jesus, Joseph could affirm or remind him and other people that this child was, just as the meaning of his name, the one that was prophesied that will save his people and establish the throne of David

The prophetic concept of the virgin conception and the name "Immanuel" found their fullness in the birth of Jesus to Mary in a way that the child is the one that was born to a virgin mother and bring God

The significance of the name Jesus is with this name God want to state his mission to his people through Jesus, that just as the meaning of the name:

That Jesus would have learned as the son of a carpenter is how to do the works of a carpenter such as to saw, plane, drill, make business contract, and deal with customers. This would have exposed him to the experiences of how a man makes a living, how to live in discipline, how to train his staff, how to communicate with other people, etc.

Matthew 8:5-13; 21:33-44; 22:2-13; 24:14; and 28:19 in common have theme that the Kingdom of God will be given to the Gentiles and Gospel will be preached to all nations To Matthew's theme of bringing the Gospel to the Gentiles, the visit of the wise men has a relation that the Gentiles will receive the Gospel, the good news that God has come to the earth through Jesus, in order to save his people. We should be applying this mandate in our own lives by preaching the Gospel to all people and all nations wherever we are.

It was appropriate for Magi brings gifts to the Christ-child because that is fit for them the personages when they appeared before a great king as a sign of their obeisance and honor to him The extravagance of their gifts reflects that their heart attitude is sincere, extremely generous, and wholehearted. The kinds of gifts appropriate for us to bring are all kinds of gifts related to our lives or our bodies that holy and pleasing to God (Romans 12:1). The lives we live and the efforts we do are for him, done rightly, and with the best we can do.

From seeing the Magi prostrating themselves before the child Jesus we learn how the Magi humbled themselves before him, that without considering their status, education, our wealth, they bowed down and worshiped him when they were standing before him, the King, the Messiah. They know who they are, who he is, and then how they must do. The significance of this for them is that their respect for the King is suitable and right for that occasion We can emulate this kind of worship by humbling ourselves before him when we pray, praise him, or worship him with our heart attitude that we must be to him because he is our master and our king

The significance of the Star of Bethlehem that the Magi saw is first, it is a sign that a king that was messiah was already born; second, it is a guide where the child was. The Magi came to find the Christ-child when they saw the star because they wanted to worship him Prophecy prefigures this event in a way that a star will come out of Jacob; a scepter will rise out of Israel, which Jewish communities in the East could consider and expected it as messianic.

The responses to the Good News that are present in my life are praise, curiosity, amazement, and thoughtful meditation They show themselves in manner as follows: praise by praising him through pray, the songs of praise done alone or together with my family; curiosity by finding out what I do not fully understand yet through Bible Study; amazement by the hardships that Joseph and Mary experienced for his child Jesus; thoughtful meditation by meditating that news in my Bible Study. Those that are missing are great joy, telling others. The reasons are s follows: great joy because I probably have already known the Good News before, so the joy I feel now is not great; telling others because I do not have an opportunity yet these days. That I can do to recover these responses are as follows: to have great joy I will try to understand more deeply about what the meaning of the Good News for me and thank Lord for this; about telling others If I have an opportunity I will tell the Good News to people I meet around me.

The three titles of Jesus given by the angels are Savior, Christ, the Lord. Savior means one who rescues, deliverer, preserver. Christ is one who is anointed, messiah; the Lord means owner, lord, master. About Jesus' true identity, this tells us that he is a Savior who is Christ the Lord, that he who give both salvation from enemies and from sin to all people (the Jews and the Gentiles) is Messiah-Yahweh

The message of Jesus' birth comes to shepherds, of all people because God state to his people that in Jesus God will be like a shepherd and his people his sheep that he will keep watching over his sheep, so that his sheep are safe from wandering off and injuring themselves, as well as dangers from thieves and wolves. Jesus is born in a stable with a manger for a bed because God state that he wants to serve his people, that is, the poor. For that he had made himself nothing, being made in human likeness, in his coming to the earth, he didn

The journey to Bethlehem was difficult for Mary because first, by riding a donkey she journeyed four days from Nazareth to Bethlehem, second, at that time she was pregnant, third, she would increasingly have arduous, because the journey might be in winter I think pleasure is not an indication that we are in God's will or not, because to be increasingly mature in him God sometimes discipline me through the hardships that I had to have; or to proved genuine of our faith he let us have suffer grief in trials. I agree that

Luke names the rules in Luke 2:1-2 because he wants to confirm that Jesus has an historical context, he is neither a myth nor a legend. So the point he is making is that Jesus is a person in history.

The significance of the name Jesus is with this name God want to state his mission to his people through Jesus, that just as the meaning of the name:

Mary's options being pregnant and carrying a baby not her husband's were first, her betrothed husband would reject and divorce her; second, she would be stoned; third, she would live at home if her family allowed, but she and her ******* baby would be shunned, fourth, she would remarriage but not with standing man; and the last, she would go no where, live alone by getting a work as a housekeeper. The kind of character that Joseph exhibited by deciding to divorce Mary quietly and leniently is the character that pertain to be interested in doing the right thing, honorable, just, good.

The essence of Mary

The virgin conception teaches us that Jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of Virgin Mary, has nature human and divine. It teaches that although Jesus is human, he is fully divine, he has the same nature as that of God, he is God in the flesh, he is God that incarnate. The doctrine of the virgin conception to the Christian message is very central, because only through this believing and understanding of it, we can fully understand about God

Mary

About who Mary's Child, the angel's announcement said that she will be with child and her child that she will give birth to is a son About who he was to become, the angel's announcement said that he will become a great person and his title will be
