Abstract

In Christian history, sex was always sustained as taboo, as such as doctrinally was, and still is, accepted inside marriage alone, but this rule is not being taken by the adepts of the religion. Between those who live the evangelical faith, there are those who keep the doctrine of chastity; those that keep but look out of ways to please their sexuality; those who don't keep, repent and stop; those that don't keep, repent, but don't quit doing it and those that don't accept this doctrine as genuine. This project task is to understand the reason why there is a distance between official protestant church speech - of what I will take for study object the Nikkei Council's Free Methodist Church - and the practice of the members at their many degrees of complexity.(AU)
