Paul's teachings in Romans chapter 7 emphasize the limitation of the law, which only has jurisdiction over the living, and the importance of understanding the natural law of marriage as a lifelong commitment.

The Bible describes a war between two cities, Babylon and the New Jerusalem, with Babylon representing mankind united in opposition to God. The New Jerusalem is God's city, founded on love of God, even to the contempt of self.

Christians should live in Babylon, deeply integrated into life here, but distinct from her sins and her man-centered ways. [... more]
