“The desire which we as Christians must battle is not just a ‘plain vanilla,’ morally neutral, biological desire for sex. We are fallen creatures, and even as Christians our redemption is not yet completed. We must still deal with the fact that we will confront desires, coming from within ourselves, which are attractive to us by virtue of the fact that they are prohibited by God. Paul does not tell us to restrain our sexual desires because, if we don’t watch it, they could be put to a wrong use. These members of ours on the earth are not morally neutral; they must be mortified — put to death” (Fidelity, p. 25).
