The Exclusivity of Jesus Won’t Tolerate The Inclusivity of the Sexual Revolution

As the weed of secularization continues spreading its roots through the belly of western civilization, Christians must be active and vocal when discerning the damaging effects on our society’s sexual ethic. Confused, disoriented, and unable to draw a straight line between wrong and right – our culture’s moral compass is spinning out of control. 2017 granted us no shortage of examples to demonstrate that society is altogether ignoring scripture’s warnings about licentious sexual behavior. Undeniably, we are drunk and lost at sea in a ship named Moral Relativism.

Moral relativism, collateral damage from secularization and postmodernism, looks past Christianity’s objectivism and appeals to the culture to govern its morality and sexuality. It fantasizes we’re more informed than our prude religious ancestors. Empirically, we’ve grown and evolved into a superior version of our species. Add to that a growing list of gender and sexual orientations and even science is now unable to accurately define someone’s sexuality. The metaphorical doors of the sexual revolution are open wide enough for almost anyone to fit inside – except Jesus.

The exclusivity of Jesus’ sexual ethics and person stands in stark contrast to the inclusivity of the sexual and moral revolutions. Jesus requires holiness and warns of judgement for anything less. Many liberal Christian denominations are rejecting the demands Jesus puts on His church in the name of “love” and “inclusivity”. Nevertheless, the only objective source (holy scripture) by which we can understand Christ’s message on sexuality is clear: sex is reserved for the marriage bed and only to be between a man and woman. Without exclusivity in our sexuality and morality, we risk misrepresenting the gospel and the person of Jesus. It is the duty of the church to preach this truth boldly in the darkness.

I wish we could come up with a new name for the homosexual rainbow flag. Can’t find any good prefixes using six now for the number of stripes. I swear I found sex as a suffix for six once. Homosexuals would probably love it if we called their flag the sexbow flag.

Excellent article.

Genesis 9:13-17King James Version (KJV)

¹³ I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.

¹⁴ And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud:

¹⁵ And I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.

¹⁶ And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

¹⁷ And God said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
