Sex, Death, and Creator's Displeasure

This week I want to share a few thoughts about some contemporary social issues in light of Biblical principles. Next week, I hope to finish the series on the "New Testament Conception of Law."

Human sexuality is probably the strongest natural and instinctive drive of human nature. History, biblical and secular, offers a long of examples moral and social havoc of fallen men and women. The lives of many people have been marred by the guilt, shame, and corruption of promiscuity. Many families have been destroyed by it as well. The effects of these tragedies is almost always felt by the circles of society in which the damaged people relate. Most people may not realize how these harmful situations harm society at large. As experience has been translated into justifications or coping mechanisms followed with new ideologies to further justify and normalize the evils of these moral and relational tragedies, the slow but certain effects are absolutely realized.

Secular culture guided by humanistic values and beliefs is one such ideology. Its religion of scientism and its sexual mores fill news headlines, police reports, and various professional studies. From the plague of divorce and teen pregnancies to rape, abortion, pedophilia, and gay rights agenda, the effects legitimated by psychologically latent ideology given official sanction is a great problem of our time.

Notice, all of the above is in apposition to the biblical basis of Western political freedom and rights as well as its natural law ideology. Sticking to my original goal, I refer to some biblical principles to remind us of our past and future destiny as human beings and as society.

The beginning of all existence is not Darwinian evolution or any other science, philosophy or even religion. The beginning and ending of life is God created. In Genesis 1:1, the self-evident truth is a Supreme Being created all things. Science has not and cannot prove it false because it is absolute truth. When each of us dies, what many practitioners of the medical sciences have researched, which also supports the biblical truth, is that life and death are not the only absolutes. God is. Eternal life in heaven or hell is. Jesus is the eternal propitiation for our crimes against God and His absolute moral laws in nature.

Another self-evident truth is God made humanity, male and female (Gen. 1:27). God made it a law of nature for male and female as one unity to reproduce and multiply (Gen. 1:28). This is the beginning of marriage, of family, and of society (Gen. 2:24). Any other sexual relationships like adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, or pedophilia are not only unnatural but crimes against God, society, and humanity ( Lev.18:20; 20:10; 18:22; 20:13; 18:23; 20:15). Any government who legislates otherwise is committing crimes against the same. As the apostle Paul states in the first chapter of his letter to the Romans, these things are worthy of God's wrath (vv. 18, 25-32).

God's law demands the death for those types of sins. It is the same punishment God informed Adam and Eve would suffer for any transgression. The day you eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you will die (Gen. 2:17). Evil denies this (Gen. 3:4). However, experience proves it was and still is the truth. Man was separated from his Creator. Humans began murdering each other. They began lying to each other, and doing many other evils. The result was death. Adam did not drop dead physically because death is not just the stoppage of bodily functions. Death is separation of right relationships like between spouses and families. Tragically, death is the officially sanctioned law of American society and most of the world.

Death and destruction has already come upon the world. Liberal politicians, lawmakers, NGOs, among nations and the United Nations are plannning, promoting, legislating, and funding the death of all societies around the globe. Gay rights, abortion, no-fault divorce, so-called sexual freedom, and the like are the goals of globalists today.

They are the servants of Satan and death. They oppose God and His law in nature--otherwise known as natural law--without conscience and with impunity. The fact that they push abortion as a right of women for almost any reason whatsoever is an affront to the One who created the process of life and its development. God did not create it for humans to kill and destroy life at will or mere convenience. A just God is not going to be tolerant of such blatant evil.

In fact, the secularist dogma of tolerance is the same as prevailed in Sodom and Gomorrah (Gen. 19). God is not tolerant of moral crimes. Many blameless animals died to satisfy the punishment of God on sin. This phenomenon is a universal human practice evidenced throughout human history and all cultures where Christianity did not have a significant influence. Jesus died in order to forever satisfy God's law and its sanction for the ultimate purpose of humanity's restoration and reconciliation to their Creator. When the prevalence of crimes perpetrated around the globe prove irreparable, the end-time wrath of God will come to end unrestrained violation of God's law and the perpetual violence of corrupt humanity's sadistic and masochistic practices. As God promised Noah and all of his descendants, God will not destroy the earth with another flood (Gen. 9:9-17). However, prophets and apostles foresaw a latter day of fire and brimstone (Gen. 19; Joel 2:30-32; 2 Pet. 3:3-7).

The more I learn about the issues and how liberal lie and deceive multitudes of people and even judges, some lawmakers, and others the clearer the evidence of the approach of the end-times. For example, Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton established abortion based on deception and lies. The belief in Separation of Church and State is a belief in a liberal lie. Legal history shows Congress rejected strict separation during the framing of the First Amendment. Gay rights is another liberal legislative effort of deceit. Sexual orientation means simply homosexual behavior. No civil right, human right, natural rights, or Constitutional law has ever existed based solely on protecting bad behavior, especially behavior opposing natural law. Gay rights is another liberal act of lawlessness. That is why their secularism--the anti-Christ, anti-God, and anti-religion-ism--boldly lies about America's Christian founding and about natural law being non-existent or irrelevant to Constitutional law.

Therefore, Paul warning to the Thessalonians must be remembered in this treacherous and treasonous times. The mystery of lawlessness is already at work (2 Thes. 2:7). The one who comes will with the "deception of wickedness for those who perish" cause many to believe lies (2:9-10). Why? "Because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved." "For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took please in wickedness" (2:11-12). This has come with evolution, with liberal secularism, humanism, and now through the seemingly strong deluding influence of leaders of the gays.
