God created humanity in His image (Genesis 1:27) and in His perfect world, humanity would commit no transgressions against Him. People would be holy and righteous, and most importantly, happy and content. However, Satan, the Prince of Darkness, and the father of lies and evil had a different plan. God intended procreation to be simply something that was done, much like with animals. Satan, however, convinced Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit and Eve convinced Adam to eat of it. Thus, original sin was born, and immediately after the sin was committed, Adam and Eve knew good and evil much like God. The first thing that happened was that they became ashamed of their nakedness, and God gave them a covering. This shows that they then knew the evils of lust, and the ramifications it would have on them. A lust for the flesh is punishable by death according to God (Leviticus 20:10) and Christ condemns it (Matthew 5:28) and Paul says it is better for a man not to marry and abide as Christ did. (I Corinthians 7:8) Despite all of these Scriptures condemning this unholy abomination, humanity has degenerated to the point that lust is not only acceptable but encouraged in the public sphere. Self image and worth has become based on nothing more than a contest of personal appearance, and people are so enamored in such vile sin that they will openly fornicate and talk of intentions to fornicate, thus bringing back the evil cities of Sodom and Gomorrah worldwide. They say that it is perfectly normal and natural, but this is a lie of Satan. Nudity is apparently normal, but Adam and Eve sure were ashamed of it. There simply is absolutely no reason for this saturation of filth, and adults are focusing on it instead of God's Word, and children are being exposed to it at very tender ages.
