Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter

Page 100

Extricating God Shows A Lack Of Wisdom!

Extricating God out of the decision-making process leaves us without the ability to fully reason [to be 100% rational], since it leaves us devoid of wisdom. Wisdom is only contained in the context of knowledge of both the world and of God. Read chapter 9 again, Rationalization of Mankind, if you

don’t get the full impact of this biblical truth and understand that it is a fact.

The Bible teaches humans they cannot be 100% rational without also knowledge of God and His truth [see page 219]. Therefore, a common

element in all of the myths that are presented in this book is the fact that mankind and Christianity have extricated knowledge of God and His eternal character out of their decision-making processes. As a result, many of the decisions are unwise, lacking wisdom, which God defined and provides.

This certainly pertains to the issue of abortion and to the issue of our sexuality. In the case of abortion, God clearly indicates that He will pay us back for doing what He hates. In the case of those who are sexually

immoral, God goes further and teaches us they “shall have their part in the lake of fire” [Rev. 21:8] and “are outside of Heaven” [Rev. 22:15]. Given these clear teachings, it is important to understand what God is talking about. Our eternal salvation depends upon understanding God and Christ is

no excuse for those who are sexually immoral. He will simply tell them: “Depart from me you who are lawless” and “I never knew you!”

If you search the Holy Bible, you’ll find five verses with the term

“sexually immoral” in it and no verses with the phrase “sexually moral” in them. All of the references to sexually immoral are contained in the New Testament and that should be a clear warning to those who seek to use Christ as a covering for “continued” sin. One thing is clear, if there is immoral sex

defined in the Bible, then moral sex must also exist. In His image, humans are created as sexual beings. So what is sexually moral in God’s eyes if not exactly what I have already taught you? I welcome your input and verse citations. If you want to challenge these teachings, put your thesis together and again I say I will surely read, study and respond to it.
