Dear Editor,
I have observed two areas which are rapidly undermining our culture. First, people do not believe the authority of the Bible. Second, God’s intention for marriage has been lost.
Heb. 4:12 refers to the Bible as living and active. God’s Word never changes. Scripture teaches that God has authority over the physical and spiritual. Scripture is given by God to show us how to live for Him (2 Tim. 3:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:19-21). Unfortunately, our culture views the Bible as irrelevant.
Recent editorials in the Star supported homosexuality without any mention Scripture. Some church leaders were quoted who support homosexuality, but the Bible gives examples of spiritual leaders who knowingly denied the truth of Scripture, contrary to God’s Word.
The author said there are “misunderstood Bible passages on homosexuality” but gave no references to support this view. She reasons that, “two men or two women simply falling in love does not compute as sin for me.” Any sex outside of marriage is sin as is homosexuality (Rom. 1:18-32; 1 Thes. 4:1-8).
God’s intention for marriage is being destroyed. Marriage is an institution created by God (Gen. 2:24) which Jesus confirms in Matt. 19:4-6. God’s idea of marriage is for a male and a female to be united in one flesh, never to be separated. This relationship is to be sexually and spiritually pure.
Pluralism forces us to accept anyone’s beliefs. This leads to chaos. As Judges 21:25 states, “every man did that which was right in his own eyes.”
May God help us follow Him through His Word.
Sincerely in Christ,
Dr. James Szymanski
