The church is a shelter for human encounters

The resurrected Jesus, in Revelation 2:18-29, rebukes the church in Thyatira for allowing a woman in their midst, who encouraged to sexual immorality and participation in idolatrous feasts.

Spiritualizing sex leads to abuse of people. Church should be a place free of sexuality. People should meet here without hidden motives. The church should be a shelter for human encounters without one person becoming the object of another and thus being misused.

Anyone who can meet other people without desiring anything from them qualifies for a position of leadership in the kingdom of God (Revelation 2:26-27).
