Fighting the Four Evils

We live in treacherous times and dark days, and such times are made more obvious by the rise of so-called “christian” erotica. As shocking as this may sound, it is becoming increasingly normalised and justified, all by the use of Scripture among professing Christians. Those who oppose “christian” erotica, which is really just a euphemism for pornography, on Scriptural grounds, are not only accused by professing Christians who support “christian” erotica as legalistic, pharisaic, righteous, narrow-minded, or holier-than-thou, but perverted, exhibiting a false sense of godliness and oppressive.   The rise of “christian” erotica is far more dangerous and of far greater significance than the obvious reason that erotica is perverse and that Scriptures are being twisted to justify such perversion. It is a symptom of a greater problem which is not merely the idolatry of sex, or even the utter lack of the fear of God. It is the perversion of the Christian faith itself through the wor...

The evangelical church is always talking about marriage and family, constantly berating people who are still not married by a certain age for not having managed to marry by that age. It is constantly cajoling them to get married.    Anyone who is not married past a certain age is seen as selfish, ungodly, unholy, unrighteous, and even, in some cases, is assumed to be a homosexual, a fornicator, a pornography addict or a masturbation addict, just by virtue of being single. Apart from the fact that these are offensively crass assumptions about all singles, including single Christians, the fact that such assumptions are being made is the symptom of a more serious problem, which is that of the idolatry of marriage and family. The vicious lies that are constantly told about singles in the Church are only the surface of the tyrannical evangelical cult of marriage and family. Marriage and family are now the idols of the modern ev...

There are many young Christians in the modern Church today who are marrying young, just to engage in sexual intercourse. That is in an of itself problematic, and anyone who does that has something wrong with him or her in and of himself or herself. Such people need to repent of their lusts, and very desire to misuse and pervert the God-given gift of sex! Sexual desire where it is given by God is not wrong or a sin. It can indeed be good where it is desired to be used to glorify God, uncorrupted by sin. For example, it can be good where in desiring marriage and therefore family, so that one may be sanctified by God (1 Corinthians 7:12-16), live out God-given designs for man and woman (Ephesians 5:22-33), to learn to love and sacrifice one's own interests (John 13:34-35), and to learn to forgive others (Ephesians 4:32; Colossians 3:13). To marry for the purpose of sexual pleasure is the height of all hedonism, self-centred pleasure-seeking done for oneself. As such, one might say...

One of the key arguments that supporters of sodomite "marriage" use is that "love is love". They argue that because marriage is about love, people should be able to get married as long as they love each. This is based on the idea that the foundation of marriage is love, by which they mean romantic sentimental love. As such, opponents of sodomite "marriage" counter by asking, what if marriage was more than about love, as this Australian Federal Member of Parliament asks in a parliamentary debate: However, this barely addresses the real issue in any adequate manner. It simply only raises a question, and does not demonstrate why marriage should not be extended to sodomites, on the basis that all love is valid. As such, a proponent of sodomite "marriage" could respond by arguing that marriage is more than about love, but still is about love, by which they mean, of course, that romantic love is needed before a man and woman enter the marriage ...
