Often Christians are accused of a illogical "slippery slope" phobia. The old joke when I was growing up was: "Why don't Baptists dance?" Answer? "Because it leads to pre-marital sex!" For some years now Christians have raised concerns over homosexual unions being legitimized. This concerns follows the weight of Scripture which classifies practicing homosexuality as a sin.
Prophets who spoke up warned the nation that such a blatant dismissal of God's design for marriage was in a sense a dismissal of God. Atheism. That's a slippery slope isn't it? Well no it isn't. Not only are we denying God's creation of a heterosexual, monogamous, lifetime marriage, but now we deny creation. The fine print under the picture in the upper left reads:
VICTORY: The Australian High Court's judgment means that Norrie May-Welby, 52, cannot now be classified as either male or female. Picture: EPA
The article in the Herald, Scotland's paper is entitled: Court declares Scotswoman born a man is now genderless. It was printed on April 3rd. You can read the article online by clicking HERE.
This decision is a direct, undeniable affront to God's Word. “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27, NIV)
"There is no status distinction among bearers of the divine image; they are equal while having distinct capacities and roles in fulfilling the divine mandate to steward the earth." [1]
Just when you thought ungodliness had reached it's pinnacle, the depravity of mankind takes it to an all time level.
