Consent

In week 3 of our series we look to the Golden Rule of Jesus to see how we are to treat one another.  We see throughout the New Testament that “to love is to will the good of the other” (St. Thomas Aquinas).  The ability to freely consent was non-existent in the ancient Roman world and it seems to be found nowhere in the animal kingdom. The freedom to consent is anchored in the love of God- and is a gift to us from the Jesus Revolution.
