what part of their bodies
did they cover?

themselves loin coverings.” (Sexual area)
Crime of Adam & Eve – Illicit sexual relationship

worst sins by major religions

generations
3. Degradation of sexual love

In the result, they both ate of the tree, and so their nakedness appeared to them: they began to sew together, for their covering, leaves from the Garden: thus did Adam disobey his Lord, and allow himself to be seduced.
The Fall: Quran 20.121

Quran 17:32
Do not come near adultery: for it is a
shameful (deed) and an evil, opening
the road (to other evils).
Do Not Misuse Love

When unrighteous disorder
prevails, the women sin and are

“Young people must be told the
truth...the best way to avoid AIDS is to refrain from sexual activity until as adults they are ready to establish a mutually faithful and monogamous relationship.”

Written on the Tomb of an Anglican Bishop in Westminster
Abby
"When I was young and free and my
imagination had no limits, I dreamed of
changing the world. As I grew older and
wiser, I discovered the world would not
change, so I shortened my sights
somewhat and decided to change only
my country.
But it, too, seemed immovable”
"As I grew into my twilight years, in one
last desperate attempt, I settled for
changing only my family, those closest to
me, but alas, they would have none of it.
"And now, as I lie on my deathbed, I
suddenly realize: If I had only changed
myself first, then by example I would
have changed my family.
"From their inspiration and
encouragement, I would then have been
able to better my country, and who knows,
I may have even changed the world."
God’s Commandment:
“ Do not eat the fruit… for on the
day you shall eat of it, you shall
surely die.” Genesis 2:7
Today’s Translation:
“ Do not commit sexual immorality… for
on the day you shall do it, you shall
surely die because of AIDS.”
The Pure Love Pledge
The pure relationship of love between a man
and a woman is a sacred gift from God, to be
cherished and honored, for the sake of building
a true family, a healthy society and a world of
peace for future Generations. Once that love is
consummated, it should never be broken.
Therefore, from this day forward, I commit
myself to:
•Respect and honor the ideal of purity in
myself and others.
•Practice pure love as a child, friend, spouse
and parent.
•Refrain from all sexual relationship before
marriage.
•Dedicate myself to absolute fidelity within
marriage.
•Encourage others to do the same.
Be Pure and Proud
