Chapter 19: Myth—Sexuality Doesn’t Matter

had just given birth. I looked in the toilet and saw this lump that seemed to have a bone in it. So I showed it to my partner.” The article said, “The
couple realized they were looking at the face of their unborn child, seeing the eyes, nose, mouth and ears. The tiny head measured no more than four centimeters” or about 1 5/8 inches.
Davina said, “We just broke down and cried at what we were seeing. We couldn’t believe it.” Indeed, in the photos of the mother and baby, one could easily see the resemblance. Davina continues, “I feel as if I’m going insane now; I can’t just let this happen to me.” What if abortion was only
used as a last resort to save her life and not as a first medical option? Would she still have had to endure such a sordid experience? Sex has consequences when it relies upon abortion to eliminate pregnancy issues.
The fallout from the Episcopal Church ordination of V. Gene
Robinson as bishop of New Hampshire is still unfolding. The headline reads: “Bishop: Anglican Church may be beyond repair.” 57 “The global Anglican Communion is ‘broken’ and may be beyond repair, the most influential Anglican leader in Africa said today.” When the church itself
engages in trying to make sexual immoral conduct acceptable, it has wide ranging consequences.
The consequences of the Episcopalian’s abominable action began to
take shape in the headline, “Anglican Panel Blasts Episcopal Church for Gay Stance.” 58 “An Anglican Church commission sharply criticized the U.S. Episcopal Church on Monday for consecrating a Gay bishop and called on the church to apologize and refrain from promoting any other clergy living
in a same-sex union.” The commission stated, “Until there is an apology, those who took part in consecrating Robinson — which would include presiding Bishop Frank Griswold — should consider whether to withdraw themselves from functions of the Anglican Communion.” Verily I say unto
you, the fallout in the Anglican Church is just beginning. Inviting sexual immorality inside the church and trying to sanction it with the word of God has serious consequences. Woe to all who do not condemn this action in the Anglican Church for verily I say unto you that God will repay these church
leaders for the blaspheme that they fail to rebuke and what the Robinson action represents in causing others to sin.
