| "Sexual Orientation" Is A Word Warp |
|
| |
1:27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
A word warp is the misuse and abuse of a word. When an individual uses a word warp, that seldom creates a problem. But when the media begins to widely use and hammer the public with a word warp it can create much confusion.
A current, popular word warp is the misuse of the word "orientation". "Orientation" means lining up a map with the points of the compass--to have the map correctly lined up with the physical environment. There are not multiple choices for orientation. A map is either orientated or it is disorientated. If you turn a map upside down and insist that it now has a "South orientation," the map is still disorientated no matter how much you protest with a word warp.
The phrase "sexual orientation" referring to homosexual behavior is a word warp. To be sexually orientated is to be sexually lined up with the physical environment and spiritual environment. In other words, to have the parts correctly aligned and functioning according to their design.
No matter how much the media may promote this word warp, homosexual behavior is a misuse of human sexual design. Therefore it is a physical disorientation of sexuality.
Sexuality also has a spiritual orientation. It is called marriage. It is one man and one woman exclusively committed sexually to one another in love for life. All other forms of sexuality are a disorientation -- what the Bible calls sin.
Under the cover of many word warps, our culture is flooded with sexual sin. Sexual orientation (sexual purity) is mocked while sexual disorientation is constantly promoted and hyped. Meanwhile, due to our society's sexual disorientation, std's, unwanted pregnancy, hiv, hepatitis, divorce, fatherless children, abortion, child sexual abuse, and many other ills are rampant. |

| When God said "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it," was he not physically and spiritually aligning/orienting human sexuality for his purposes? That is how I've always seen it. |

| Steve: What shall we say to these things? It is obvious that our culture is warped and confused. God gave us up to vile passions and gave us over to a debased mind to do those things that are not fitting. (Roms 1) "Sexual Orientation" like you said is not just a "word warp" but it is an oximoron. (A contradictory statement like "Safe Sex" outside of marriage.) This is how the enemy works, makes it sound good, and there is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it only leads to death. You have done a great job of exposing the lie and calling for a return to the truth. Amen Brother Steve! |

STEVE STRIKES AGAIN!!! Thanks for the words. I have been struggling with my 12yr old about "boys" lately and this is a great boost for me that "I'm sticking to my guns" on this one. It's hard to be the mean one but you know it's all to glorify the Lord. And my kids belong to Him. Thanks again my far away friend!

| Veronica: I encourage you to maintain righteous standards for your daughter. She probablly won't like it, but she will love and respect your for it. Teach her God's rules and show here much love, but don't allow her to disrespect God and his rules as long as she is under your authority. Pray for and with her frequently. God will help you. |
