Consider the issue of human sexuality and all the problems we now find associated with it \u2013 everything from broken marriages, porn addiction, and gender bender delusions. The world is normalising the promotion of neopagan sexual identity and practices which is causing all sorts of damage and misery.<\/p>\n
Says Strachan: \u201cIn the twenty-first century, we have witnessed the rise of ideology that seeks to replace divine order with a counterfeit \u2013 with what we may call neopaganism. This movement spiritualises sexuality in a design-denying way while rendering sexual practice nothing more than a momentary phenomenon. Sex is both everything and nothing at once.\u201d<\/p>\n
The attempt to now mainstream and normalise transgenderism is simply the most recent and most bizarre outworking of all this. A post-biblical age leads to a post-body culture. The great good of the human body as designed by God (consider not just creation but the Incarnation) has been discarded by the sexual radicals.<\/p>\n
The lie spoken by Satan to our first parents (\u2018you can be like God\u2019) has now fully come around: \u2018you can now (re)create your own body, and your own sexual identity.\u2019 We can now somehow transcend biology and reality as we choose for ourselves who we are and what we are to become. So now even children are having their bodies horribly mutilated in the vain attempt to become something they are not \u2013 and never can be.<\/p>\n
In addition to the transgender revolution, there are three other major sexual challenges that the church faces today: feminism, postmarital sexual libertinism, and homosexuality. \u201cEach of these four ideologies is the reversal of biblical teaching and divine design….\u201d<\/p>\n
