Human Morals and DIVINE REVELATION

1st Century Morals DIVORCE Matt 19:3-9

1st Century Morals DIVORCE MODESTY 1 Pet 3:3-4; 1 Tim 2:9-10

1st Century Morals “Luxurious clothing that cannot conceal the shape of the body is no covering at all. Such clothing, clinging close to the body, takes the body’s shape & adheres to the flesh. It outlines the woman’s figure, so that the whole shape of her body is visible to spectators, even though they cannot actually see the body itself. Such clothing is meant for looking, not for covering.” (Clement of Alexandria, 150-200 AD)

1st Century Morals ENTERTAINMENT DIVORCE MODESTY Job 31:1; Psa 101:3; Rom 12:9; Eph 5:3-7, 11-12; Phil 4:8

1st Century Morals “I am inclined to think that the corrupting influence of the stage is even worse than that of the arena. The subjects of comedies are the deflowering of virgins or the loves of prostitutes. Similarly, the tragedies parade before the eyes of the audience the murder of parents & acts of incest committed by wicked kings. Is the art of the mimes any better? They teach adultery by acting it out.” (Lactantius, 260-330 AD).

1st Century Morals “The father who carefully protects & guards his virgin daughter’s ears from every polluting word takes her to the theater himself, exposing her to all its vile language & attitudes. How can it be right to look at the things that are wrong to do? How can those things which defile a man when they go out of his mouth not defile him when going in through his eyes & ears?” (Tertullian, 140-230 AD).

1st Century Morals WOMEN’S ROLE DIVORCE MODESTY ENTERTAINMENT 1 Cor 14:34-35; 1 Tim 2:11-15
