THE SIXTH COMMANDMENT
DigiTeens
for
Thou shall not commit adultery.
Being created as man and woman in God’s image and likeness, the human person is commissioned to be fruitful and multiply.
Execution of such command demands the capacity and responsibility of love and communion.
Procreation is not a recreation. It concerns all about affectivity, the capacity to love and to procreate, and forming bonds of communion with others.
The sexual act outside this framework is a sign of lust. In creating men ‘male and female’, God gives man and woman equal personal dignity.
The union of man and woman in marriage is a way of imitating in the flesh the creator’s generosity and fecundity.
Our bodies are sacred vessels that deserve respect and care. They allow us to experience the world and connect with others. It's important to honor and appreciate them for all they do.
Do I protect God's gift of my body?
Be on guard of your speeches and actions; thou shall not post obscene or impure content, etc
It is not what goes in from the outside but what comes out from inside makes the person impure.
Sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, wickedness, treachery, debauchery, jealousy, slander, arrogance, and recklessness come out of a human heart.
Like the Pharisees and Sadducees and the chief priests of the time of Jesus, some people continue to out-show their righteousness under the sheep wool.
As the proverb goes: “the lawmaker is the lawbreaker”, the impure mind continues to produce and nurture the insane and defective as well as destructive things in social media.
Define the brand voice of the contents (keep in mind the mission, vision, and value).
Monitor and moderate the content with proper feedback and positive criticisms.
Acknowledge the mistakes, apologize sincerely, and take corrective actions.
Develop crisis management skills.
Monitor and moderate the online content
Guard the dignity of every person
A good tree produces good fruit and a rotten tree produces rotten fruit. A good tree can also be interpreted as a sound tree.
‘Soundness’ means a healthy condition in mind, heart and body. Therefore, one must avoid posting inappropriate and offensive content on social media.
