The Religion of Sexual Humanism

A Fall from Grace

• Drag queen story hour in libraries
• Female-identifying biological males attack women in restrooms
• Homosexual “marriage” codified in US law
• “Transgender” attacks and murders kids and teachers in a Christian school
• Why is infidelity so common?
• Abortions increase in the U.S., reversing a 30-year decline

These types of headlines have caused many Christians to scratch their heads, wondering how the United States, which was blessed by God in the past, has bowed to such madness of morality and ethics in such a relatively short time.

The United States (USA) was born out of a Christian nation (technically an Anglican nation—a protestant denomination that came out of the Reformation of the sixteenth century). The King or Queen of England is still the head of the Anglican Church to this day (the official Church of England).

A USA history textbook from the late 1800s and early 1900s said that the colonists were mostly protestant with a small percentage of Roman Catholics.1 In 1892, US Supreme Court Justice David Brewer ruled that the USA was “a Christian nation.”2 In 1931, the supreme court again ruled that “we are a Christian people.”3

Mid-twentieth-century presidents like Harry Truman4 and Dwight D. Eisenhower (who led the military defeat of the evolutionary Nazis in Europe) openly discussed the Christian God and his blessings on America. But today, precious few politicians would dare say such a thing!

Don’t get me wrong, there have been plenty of non-Christians—including leaders and early American fathers who were not fully on board with the Christian faith and its stated moral code.5 Notwithstanding, the point is that Christian morality held a strong sway in hearts and minds of many people—not just in the United States, but across the Western world—for a long time. Yet the elderly in every Western nation today have seen Christian morality fall like a tree that was suddenly cut off at its roots.

Sexual immorality, including homosexual actions and gender dysphoria, has now infected much ground in the Western world

It’s no surprise that many liberal (non-conservative) cities in the USA have been repeatedly compared to Sodom and Gomorrah (Genesis 19)!6 But again, this is not just a problem in the United States. Sexual immorality, including homosexual actions and gender dysphoria, has now infected much ground in the Western world—England, France, Canada, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Australia, Spain, New Zealand, Portugal, and the list goes on!

If people are no longer standing on Christian morality—which gives us the standard for sexuality—then the obvious question to ask is “What religious standard are they now embracing?” This brings me to the religion of sexual humanism.

Sexual Humanism—The Religion

Sexual humanism is a sub-branch of the secular forms of humanism (i.e., secular humanism or its various manifestations). Before we get lost in terminology, allow me to explain humanism first so that you can better understand the religion of secular humanism and thus its daughter, sexual humanism.

The religion of humanism views man as the highest authority, not God. In other words, in this religious framework, man’s ideas/opinions/beliefs are elevated to supersede God and his Word (the Bible) as the supreme authority. If you have ever heard the famous mantra “Man is the measure of all things,” then you’ve heard humanism preached.

Put another way—humanism is “preached” anytime man’s ideas are elevated to allegedly be greater than our omniscient (all-knowing), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omnipresent (everywhere present) holy God of truth. Even if you were to take all the people who have ever lived and combine them together, we have an infinitely small amount of knowledge and power compared to the infinite God of the Bible who created and sustains our very being and existence.

And yet, people have the audacity to think man—and hence man’s ideas about religion, history, morality, science, and so on—is somehow greater than God! Foundationally, there are only two religions in the world: God’s religion and “not God’s” religion (otherwise known as “man’s” religion, or humanism). Thus, in its broadest aspects, the battle is really just Christianity vs. humanism.

All other religions (which are technically sub-religions of humanism) that do not come from God and his Word (all 66 books of the Bible) have elevated man’s ideas one way or another to ultimately take people away from God and his Word. Even if a religion is satanic or demonic, it still comes through the mind of man and is, therefore, humanistic. So, humanism consists of many sub-religions.

In addition to elevating pagan or secular ideas as the ultimate standard, some of these religions are based on various beliefs and ideas of ancient sages. Still other religions come from distortions of God’s Word, such as from alleged “prophets” (outside the Bible), adding books to the Bible, taking books away from the Bible, trying to change the Bible, and so forth. But regardless, in each case, they take man’s variant ideas and neglect what God has to say on the subject—whether it’s about origins, God, salvation, the afterlife, morality, etc.

All false religions are humanistic because in every one of these religious systems, man’s ideas—either directly or indirectly—have been used to deceive people into false beliefs. Some of these humanistically influenced religions deviate only slightly from the Bible, whereas others deviate a lot. In general, there are four philosophical categories of humanism.7

1. Secular (humanistic)/atheistic (i.e., materialistic/naturalistic religions that believe only matter [mass/energy] exist in the natural universe where everything is purely governed by natural laws, and thus they reject anything “supernatural”)
2. Transcendental mysticism, otherwise known as Eastern religions (e.g., spiritualistic religions that believe all is spirit, all is one, all is god, and thus there is nothing physical, but one’s mind can be deceived into thinking something is physical)
3. Immanent moralistic religions (i.e., some sort of moral code, not revealed from a god[s], but rather derived by man—they may or may not even have a god[s], but if they do, it is definitely not the true God of the Bible)
4. Counterfeits of Christianity (religions that look or act like Christianity and essentially pay “lip-service” to the Bible but deviate from it by being based on false beliefs, such as polytheism [e.g., Mormonism], pseudo-messianic [e.g., having false christs], or unitarianism [e.g., Judaism, Islam, and Jehovah’s Witnesses]; these religions usually appeal to a new prophet/prophecies/prophetess and/or change the Bible to mean something else by adding books and/or interpretations to Scripture or subtracting books from Scripture)

In some cases, some of these religions try “mixing” or “syncretizing” their view with another sub-religion or even with the Bible (called “syncretism” or “compromise”). But the man-made beliefs tend to supersede the plain reading of Scripture in these examples. Simply put, in each instance of humanism intermixing, God’s Word is not the absolute truth/standard in one or more areas.

Sexual humanism comes out of the secular forms of humanism (being another subset of this secular religion—a “denomination” if you will). Sexual humanists not only devote themselves to living sexually immoral lives but also to promoting these sexual sins in the culture. In many instances, they try to force others to hold to their religious views of sex and immorality in every area of culture, ranging from politics to classrooms to public company support. This is a very aggressive religion that pushes their sexually deviant agenda on all ages (including young kids and teens), governments, media, businesses, and even Christian churches.

All forms of sexual immorality (also called “unchastity”) are lumped under the religion of sexual humanism. This religious system can be further broken down into the following various tenets. As a caveat, not all sexual humanists will adhere to all of these tenets—nevertheless, any form of sexual deviancy is part of sexual humanism. In other words, different sexual humanists will often pick and choose among these various tenets of the list below and to various degrees as well—some are actively involved and others are merely allies (i.e., giving approval). The Bible condemns both positions equally in Romans 1:24–32.

1. Fornication
2. Sexual predation
3. Homosexuality
4. Adultery
5. Transgenderism
6. Rape
7. Pedophilia
8. Sodomy
9. Bisexuality
10. Sterilizations/mutilations
11. Prostitution
12. Drag
13. Exhibitionism
14. Incest
15. Pornography
16. Sex slavery/trafficking (forced prostitution)
17. Pederasty (forced homosexual sex with a castrated child)
18. LaVeyan satanism (a largely pro-sexual-deviancy religion)
19. Abortion (to cover sexual deviancy’s repercussions)
20. Lust
21. Polyamory
22. Bestiality
23. Sexual harassment
24. Infidelity
25. Pseudo marriage (or “false” marriage)

Brief History of Sexual Humanism

Sexual humanism is nothing new, but it has often been associated with ancient religions that began after sin entered the world in Genesis 3.

Sexual humanism is nothing new, but it has often been associated with ancient religions that began after sin entered the world in Genesis 3. Prior to sin, sex was perfect (Genesis 1:31) within marriage between Adam and Eve. After sin, sexual immorality began. As a point of note, marriage between close relatives was originally acceptable as Cain, Abel, and Seth (three of Adam and Eve’s many children) could intermarry with their female siblings (Genesis 5:4).8

Noah’s grandchildren could intermarry as well after the flood. At the time of Moses (about 1400–1500 BC), God forbade close intermarriage (now called “incest”) in Leviticus 18.

Even so, we also see the following examples of sexual immorality in Scripture:

• Sodom, Gomorrah, and the five cities of the plain (Genesis 19)
• Canaanites (Leviticus 18)
• Benjamites (Judges 19–21)
• Absalom (son of David) taking his father’s concubines (2 Samuel 15–20)
• Greeks (1 Corinthians 5)
• Romans (Romans 1)

As you can see, sexual humanism is often mixed with many other false religions, and even the religious can be enticed into its practices. Though sexual humanism is not unified into a single organized body, there are many clubs and organizations that propagate this religion today.

Historically, pagans often had rampant sexual sin in various forms. Islam has child brides (pedophilia/cross-generational sex), wife for a night (prostitution), and so on. Modern LaVeyan satanism (the atheistic form) is loaded with sexual sin and pornography.

The modern movement of deviant sexuality has increased, pushing the religion of sexual humanism to the forefront in our culture. Following the progression outlined in Romans 1 of being turned over to immoral lusts, the Western world has gone through the following stages in history:

1. The Sexual Revolution (beginning in the 1960s)
2. The Homosexual Revolution
3. The Gender Revolution9

This brings us to today where we see the rampant worship of deviant sexual practices, transgenderism, and attacks on biblical marriage and family. God says,

A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5, NKJV)

In our culture, not only do we see cross-dressing, but we see the futility of sinners’ minds going so far as to have surgeries to try to alter their own bodies by mutilations to appear as the opposite sex! Such things are a sign of judgment on unbelievers who have rejected their Creator and his design for humanity and biblical sexuality and who thus have been given over to a debased mind that cannot think properly (Romans 1:18–28; 2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 4:17–19; Titus 1:15–16; 2 Timothy 2:23–26).

Syncretism in Churches

Mankind was created to be fruitful and multiply, within marriage, and fill the earth (Genesis 1:28). But because we are in a sin-cursed and broken world (Genesis 3), mankind throughout history has been enticed to sexual sin. And this has had profound effects even in many local church congregations, ranging all the way from pastors to laymen.

We have seen many pastors and Christian leaders fall from grace into sexual sin—and in some cases, we’ve seen whole congregations promote sexual humanism in their local churches.

Sadly, many local churches and denominations toss aside God’s Word on the subject (usually by heavily reinterpreting the plain meaning of various passages of Scripture) to support sexual sin like homosexuality, fornication, and transgender ideologies. Some “pastors” or “reverends” even go so far as to outright deny Scripture (reject God’s authority) in order to justify deviant sexual lifestyles!10 In doing so, God’s Word is demoted, thus allowing certain tenets of sexual humanism to be proclaimed from the pulpit.

When Christianity is mixed with any other religion, God’s clear teachings are mocked. Fundamentally, it is no different than when the Israelites began mixing their godly worship of the one true God with worship of false gods like Baal and Molech. Even Solomon began offering sacrifices to pagan gods due to his sexual deviancy with many pagan women who then influenced him to deny God’s Word. God was not happy with him (Nehemiah 13:26).

For clarification, the terms pagan and paganism are overview terms. They encompass many types of religions, such as mythological and polytheistic religions (e.g., Baal worship, Roman mythology, Germanic/Norse mythology, etc.) as well as pantheistic religions (where the universe or cosmos is all that supposedly exists). Secular religions, like naturalism or materialism, are pantheistic, and so, by definition, they are pagan too. Famous secular atheist Carl Sagan used to open his show Cosmos with the mantra, “The universe is all that is, ever was, and ever will be.” This statement is outright pantheism, hence paganism.

In fact, when a local church or denomination accepts any form of secular religious views into their church (again, called syncretism) like the big bang, millions of years, evolution, sexual immorality, etc., they are defending paganism and false secular beliefs associated with paganism. Why would a church do this? Consider what God said in Hosea.

My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children. (Hosea 4:6, NKJV)

Like the ancient pagan religions of the past, the modern secular religious movements commonly deviate regarding sexuality. It is a sad indictment on the church when secular humanistic sexuality (e.g., sexual humanism) is promoted in the church in defiance of God and his Word. And the repercussions of rampant promiscuity, such as abortion and the devaluing of marriage and family, heap further condemnation on those who are involved in false teaching (2 Peter 2).

What Does Scripture Record as God’s Views on Sin and Sexuality?

• Judges 21:25: In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
• Leviticus 18:22: You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
• Leviticus 18:23 (NKJV): Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion.
• Leviticus 20:13: If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
• Romans 1:24–32 (NKJV): Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
• 1 Corinthians 5:9–11 (NKVJ): I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner—not even to eat with such a person.
• 1 Corinthians 6:9–11 (NKJV): Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.
• 2 Peter 2:6 (NKVJ): And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly.
• Jude 1:7 (NKJV): As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
• [In the context of hell] Revelation 21:8 (NKJV): But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.
• [In the context of heaven and hell] Revelation 22:14–15 (NKJV): Blessed are those who do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. But outside are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.

Jesus Christ is absolutely clear in his Word—recall that Jesus Christ is the Creator God (John 1; Hebrews 1; Colossians 1) and his Word—the 66 books of the Bible—was written by the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:21).

Some critics call these “clobber passages.” But note that this nicknaming is only done in an attempt to deceive Christians into tossing these biblical passages aside, thus viewing the arbitrary and fallible opinions of sinful man as superior to God and his Word (again, note the religious aspect of humanism). In other words, it is a subtle method to convince people, especially Christians, to deny God in this particular instance and instead follow the religion of sexual humanism.

These passages, which are essential to understanding what God is saying on the subject, are not to be tossed aside.

But actually, if we look at this claim logically, the term clobber passages is just an epithet/emotive language fallacy.11 There is no logical reason to toss the Bible aside or even reject just these passages. These passages, which are essential to understanding what God is saying on the subject, are not to be tossed aside. And to do so places the rest of Scripture in submission to man’s opinion, including other important tenets such as the virgin birth and resurrection of Jesus. It is better to clobber with the truth in a gentle and humble effort to help someone come to repentance by the power of the Holy Spirit (e.g., 2 Timothy 2:24–26) than for that person to spend an eternity in hell.

Now by this we know that we know Him, if we keep His commandments. He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. (1 John 2:3–4, NKJV)

From another biblical perspective, God commands purity, and as a result there will be blessing (yes, blessing and encouraging) within sexuality in only one context. We are to keep sexual activity within marriage between a naturally born man and a naturally born woman.12

Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge. (Hebrews 13:4, NKJV)

Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. (1 Timothy 4:12, NKJV)

But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart. (Matthew 5:28, NKJV)

The Newest Established Religion of the US: Sexual Humanism

In Government Schools

Today, we’re seeing the religion of sexual humanism being promoted with little restriction at state schools (schools that are funded by the state and public tax dollars). A dead giveaway—the LGBT flag—is waving in grade schools and grammar schools! And with the increasing number of LGBT clubs, homosexuality and transgenderism are not only being encouraged, but now are also being imposed as standard beliefs at many state schools.

Stop and ponder this: adults are talking to children about sex and encouraging deviancy—usually without the parents’ knowledge. Sometimes it is done to help “keep it a secret” from parents. Normally, such people are called sexual predators. But if it is done under the label of “teacher” and it’s backed by administration, then it’s (somehow) called being “loving” or “compassionate” to the student.

Look at a parallel of this—what if an intermediary manager at a company was talking about and encouraging pornography use and pushing their employees—often privately—to consider new sexual activities and partners . . . and then that manager told them not to inform their supervisor? This is called sexual harassment, which normally results in people getting fired and companies getting sued.

Yet state schools do it openly with young children, and many times principals and school boards encourage imposing this on children, who really should not have to deal with these concepts until they are much older and more mature physically and emotionally. It’s no wonder that sexual abuse is rampant in state schools. Research done in 2015 in the US revealed some shocking statistics.

• “Of children in 8^th through 11^th grade, about 3.5 million students (nearly 7%) surveyed reported having had physical sexual contact from an adult (most often a teacher or coach). The type of physical contact ranged from unwanted touching of their body, all the way up to sexual intercourse.”13
• “This statistic increases to about 4.5 million children (10%) when it takes other types of sexual misconduct into consideration, such as being shown pornography or being subjected to sexually explicit language or exhibitionism.”14

Note, these stats do not include senior year, when many of the kids are turning 18. But surely this abuse doesn’t suddenly just stop then, and any sexual contact, regardless of whether the student is supposedly an adult, between a student and a teacher is (as it should be!) a criminal act of sexual predation because the teacher is in a position of power! So as a conservative number, 1 out of every 10 children in state schools in the United States were sexually abused—bear in mind that these were the students that weren’t too afraid to speak up! If you include the proclamation and encouragement of sexual deviancy, like premarital sex, homosexual behavior, or transgenderism, then this number would likely shoot up drastically. This statistic also doesn’t include peer-to-peer issues.

When looking at sexual harassment in state schools, statistics conducted by the American Association of University Women published in 2022 state,

Unfortunately, sexual harassment and violence continue to be prevalent in elementary, middle, and high schools across the United States. According to AAUW’s own research, nearly half of students in grades 7-12 experience sexual harassment. . . .

Sexual harassment and assault are also shockingly prevalent on college and university campuses. AAUW’s own research revealed that two-thirds of college students experience sexual harassment. Studies have also found that approximately 26% of all female undergraduate students and 6.8% of all male undergraduate students have experienced sexual assault.15

It doesn’t take a genius (it’s not rocket science!) to figure out that teachers talking to kids about all sorts of sexual activity can easily lead to sexual harassment and abuse from both teachers and their peers who are now thinking sexually about those surrounding them. The fact that state-funded government schools are encouraging sexuality at younger and younger ages and LGBT beliefs on children of all ages is a recipe for sexual predation. Parents, beware what you are sending your children into at a government-funded elementary, middle, high school, and college/university level. Parents who don’t want their children sexually abused and taught homosexuality and transgenderism—but who send them to state schools where such wicked things are rampant—need to carefully consider how and where their children spend much of their time!16 17

Codified in Law

Law is a biblical concept. God is the ultimate Lawgiver, and he has imposed certain laws for man for our good.

But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. (1 Timothy 1:8–11, NKJV)

It has been like this from the beginning. Even deeper to ponder is that God upholds the laws of nature and the laws of logic for existence to be possible (Hebrews 1:3). As we are made in the image of a law-giving God, he also gave us dominion over the world (Genesis 1:26–27).

When man sinned in Genesis 3 and committed high treason against God, we became corrupt in every part of our being. Man’s unrighteousness led to judgment with the global flood (Genesis 6–8). After this, man’s heart was still hard (Genesis 8:21). God gave the law through Moses—Genesis through Deuteronomy. The law is defined in detail with judges, executives, inheritance laws, marriage laws, laws against sexual immorality, and so on. The Law of Moses is often summed up in the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3–17, NKJV):

You shall have no other gods before Me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

You shall not murder.

You shall not commit adultery.

You shall not steal.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.

However, the law can be further summed up as Matthew 22:35–40 (NKJV) says:

Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”

Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Romans 13:9–10 reiterates this passage of Scripture. With that being said, nations all over the world have laws. The problem is that many of these laws are not the best. When they mimic God’s law, they are good (do not murder, do not steal, and so on). When they have not been modeled around the law of an all-knowing God, they fall short. Simply put, a nation with laws based on man’s word will always fall short compared to a nation with laws based on God’s Word.

This brings me to US laws that have deviated from God’s standard over the years. For instance, in the most powerful show of sexual humanistic power, our government has now demoted marriage (between a man and woman) and reinterpreted it to include homosexual relationships, which is sexual immorality!

The government, in an obvious abuse of its power, is trying to force this new view of pseudo marriage on Bible-believing Christians—demanding they acknowledge this new definition over what God says marriage is—which is a violation of the civil rights of Christians. This is an obvious case of the religion of humanism being imposed in the US at the highest level. This decision was defended by the US supreme court in Obergefell v. Hodges on June 26, 2015.

In other words, the government is demanding that Christians must bow down and worship their humanistic view of pseudo marriage and deny what God clearly says on this subject. If not, they can be sued and attacked in many ways. This is a clear example of Christians being denied their right to the free exercise of their religion.

My dear Christian brethren, this is no different from bowing down to the golden statue and the threat of the fiery furnace in Nebuchadnezzar’s day in Daniel 3. Even in the New Testament, Christians in the early church who didn’t bow to government-imposed religion were often attacked, beaten, arrested, and tortured, even to the point of death. (And sadly, this type of persecution is still happening to Christians around the world in countries that are very hostile to the Christian faith—such as Afghanistan, Iran, Somalia, North Korea—and even Canada, Poland, and the UK to a certain degree!)

Consider the plundering of the property of Christians and their early struggles and sufferings in Hebrews 10:32–34 (NKJV).

But recall the former days in which, after you were illuminated, you endured a great struggle with sufferings: partly while you were made a spectacle both by reproaches and tribulations, and partly while you became companions of those who were so treated; for you had compassion on me in my chains, and joyfully accepted the plundering of your goods, knowing that you have a better and an enduring possession for yourselves in heaven.

To Christians reading this, the secular world is attacking our faith in an effort to impose secular religions on us—such as with sexual humanism’s tenet of pseudo marriage. We must stand firm and keep our eyes on the prize of heaven because this temporary world will one day be destroyed, and sinners will be judged for all eternity if they do not repent and turn to Jesus for their salvation. Consider these verses from Acts 5.

And when they had brought them, they set them before the council. And the high priest asked them, saying, “Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And look, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.” (Acts 5:27–29, NKJV)

And they agreed with him, and when they had called for the apostles and beaten them, they commanded that they should not speak in the name of Jesus, and let them go. So they departed from the presence of the council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to suffer shame for His name. And daily in the temple, and in every house, they did not cease teaching and preaching Jesus as the Christ. (Acts 5:40–42, NKJV)

God created and defined marriage, which means—regardless of what fallible/sinful mankind says—any other definition is not marriage. (Rather, it’s merely a mirage!) The supreme court has made errors in their decisions in the past, like the Dred Scott v. Sanford decision on March 6, 1857 (regarding slavery), or the Roe v. Wade decision on January 22, 1973 (regarding the killing of innocent children).

Thankfully, by God’s grace, these horrible decisions were finally reversed. Pray that God will reverse these attacks on marriage by those who unwittingly (or intentionally) impose the religion of sexual humanism from the highest positions in the US government on Christians (and in other Western nations too)! Oh, how our once-Christianized nations have fallen indeed.

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. (Psalm 2:1–4, NKJV)

Every king, president, supreme court justice, governor, dictator, and government leader of any nation that disobeys the Lord’s standards will still stand before our holy God in judgment and give an account for their actions.

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. (Psalm 2:10–12, NKJV)

But for Christians, those who put their trust in the Lord, be still and know that God is God. For we know that God, who is above these rulings, hates these iniquitous decrees (Isaiah 10:1–4). And remember, God still sits on his throne with all authority in heaven and on earth (Matthew 28:18). It should be a reminder that we should be crying out to God for help in all matters and continuing to pray for our leaders to do good and repent of their sin and turn to Christ (Philippians 4:6–7; 1 Timothy 2:1–2).

Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what the government says; we must continue to share the gospel and the commands of Jesus Christ, the King of kings—and Christ is in the position of having all authority on heaven and on earth, above any government official who comes and goes. The fact is that we may face persecution for it. But we can pray for boldness to do what honors God, especially as we see these freedoms eroding. As godliness is eroded in our culture, so are our freedoms (as freedom is a Christian concept emanating from the freedom given to us by our Creator).

Conclusion

If this sexual humanistic religion has influenced you, I encourage you to repent of your sin (this means to turn from it in a humble way and sorrowfully return to Jesus Christ who is the Creator and the Savior). Then find a local Bible-believing church that can help you grow in your faith.

It is time to get back to God’s Word in every area of life, especially when it comes to sex, marriage, gender, and family, as these have profound impact on society.

The religion of sexual humanism is permeating our Western culture. We have now had entire generations of kids trained in this religion—and yet many of them have no idea this religion was imposed upon them.

Any time man’s deviant ideas about sex are elevated to supersede what God says in the Bible, a red flag should immediately go up in your mind as you recognize this as sexual humanism. It is time to get back to God’s Word in every area of life, especially when it comes to sex, marriage, gender, and family, as these have profound impact on society.

Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God. (Ecclesiastes 8:12–13, NKJV)
