Morality...
Do not be mislead by Satan's lies. There is no lasting happiness in immorality. There is no joy to be found in breaking the law of chastity. There may be momentary pleasure. For a time it may seem like everything is wonderful. But quickly the relationship will sour. Guilt and shame set in. We become fearful that our sins will be discovered. We must sneak and hide, lie and cheat. Love beings to die. Bitterness, jealousy, anger, and even hate begin to grow. All of these are natural results of sin and transgression.
Please, never say: "Who does it hurt? Why not a little freedom? I can do what I want now and repent later." Please don't be so foolish and so cruel. You cannot with impunity "crucify Christ afresh." "Flee fornication," Paul cries, and flee "anything like unto it," the D&C adds. Why? Well, in both body and spirit endured by the Savior so that we COULD flee. We owe him something for that. Indeed, we owe Him everything for that. "Ye are not your own," Paul says. "Ye [have been] bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." In sexual transgression the soul is at stake-the body and the spirit.
The body is therefore something to be kept pure and holy. Do not be afraid of soiling its hands in honest labor. Do not be afraid of scars that may come in defending the truth or fighting for the right, but beware scars that spiritually disfigure, that come to you in activities you should not have undertaken, that befall you in places where you should not have gone. Beware the wonds of any battle in which you have been fighting on the wrong side.
When the scriptures are so plain, how can anyone justify immoralities and call them love? Is black white? Is evil good? Is purity filthiness?
