Sexuality has to be linked to love and life and orthodox Christians over 2,000 years have always taught that sexual activity is good and holy within marriage.
"The validity of Christian teaching on sexuality and marriage is demonstrated in the wounds of those who do not practice it. Infidelity and irresponsibility do not bring freedom, but slavery, imprisonment to bad habits and even addiction. Pagan life today is like driving a car with flat tyres.
Men and women are gifts to one another, because sexual activity is an offering of love to the other, rather than a search for self satisfaction.
Christ himself was compassionate towards sexual sin, which is usually a misdirected search for love, but sexual fidelity is a struggle. And we know that cut price Christianity does not work, does not attract joiners, although it can stir up some nostalgia and distant sympathy. There is of course no such thing as cost free Christianity, which is a poisonous myth."
