Abstract

The development of technology has a positive impact, making it easier for humans to do their work. However, in addition to having a positive impact, technology also hurts its users. The rise of cybersex on social media is very dangerous because it is detrimental to many people including Christians. Cybersex can cause sexual urges because of sex offerings on the internet. There are several cybersex practices, including prostitution, harassment, and pornography that show declining moral behaviour in this generation in the digital era.  Efforts are needed to tackle the spread of cybersex and its negative impact on Christian life. That freedom does not negate the responsibility of being a believer. This article will conduct a biblical study of 1 Corinthians 6:12 and relate it to "Christian freedom in the Digital Age. The method used is an exegesis approach. The results of the biblical study of 1 Corinthians 6:12 present an ethical-theological principle: First, everything that is allowed is not necessarily all useful. Second, All is permissible, but do not forget God's authority and His will.
