The Invention of Evil

The story hit the news last week, and I for one am still reeling. One of Oprah's recent TV show guest was a pregnant man. Yes, that's right. I didn't just make a spelling error. Her guest was a pregnant man!

Well, he/she really is not a man. As it turns out, this was a transsexual, who though formerly a woman, was surgically made to have male sexual organs. Oddly enough, however, he/she or the doctors felt it necessary to leave the male/female with an ovary and a womb. So actually, this person has both male and female sexual organs. Are you following this? Confused yet? If you think you are confused, what do you think this person is? She wanted to be a man, but she also wanted to keep some female parts. But men do not have babies. But this man did want to have a baby because, although this woman thought she wanted to be a man - wanting to have a child proves that this man really wants what women want - to have a child! I do not say this out of condemnation, I say this out of compassion; this individual is really messed up and sexually/emotionally/personally confused. All the while though, she/he sits by his wife and smiles with the persona of happiness. In his/her mind, he has truly found himself. (herself)

My heart goes out not so much to this couple as to the child that they will raise. Can you imagine how confused this little one will be? Let's say they have a little boy. See if you can help this little boy put his childhood together. He has a father and a mother, but his father used to be a woman. And his mother is not his birth mother. Actually, his father is his biological mother! After you explain all of this to him, you tell me how he is going to explain that to his peers!

My heart bleeds as well for our society. Our culture is falling to pieces around us. The debauchery is unprecedented and becoming vastly more and more unimaginable. A cursory look at world history and biblical history will quickly verify that the beginning of the end of all the great world empires came from within as morality and ethics became relative issues rather than standard expectations. America is no different from the other world empires of history, and she is following right along in the footsteps of their depravity.

So how did we get here? Culturally, we got to the place where a man with child is paraded on TV because tolerance and self-glory became accepted as our highest ideals instead of truth-telling love and God's glory. Biblically, we got here because, it appears to me, our culture has all the marks of Romans 1! In other words, God has given us over to our depraved nature and minds. God's judgment upon us is that He has let us pursue our pleasures in self and sin and those pursuits will be our destruction! How do you end up with a pregnant man on TV? You relentlessly pursue self and temporary pleasure with no divine restraint (judgment), and not being able to be satisfied with all the sin and self indulgence you can find, you then INVENT evil to flatter yourself, indulge in, and parade to others.

Listen carefully and fearfully to Romans 1:28-32. "And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, INVENTORS OF EVIL (emphasis added), disobedient to parents, foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. Though they know God's decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them."

Just when you thought you had heard it all, someone goes and invents another way to smear the glory of God and man who made in the image of God.

Before I did you adieu though, let me offer a though of encouragement. In the same biblical letter of Romans, Paul also says in 5:20, "but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more!" Yes, sin is great is our culture, but grace - God's grace - will always be greater than our sin! So let us exalt the name and work of Christ together, and seek the face of Almighty God, that He might once again lavish our nation with the bounties of His mercies in salvation, faith, and repentance!
