Neither Man Nor Woman - James A.E. MacLellan

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.
