Science, studied, at least in earnest, doesn’t care what we think or believe. If you have two X chromosomes, you are or will develop into a woman. If you have two Y chromosomes, you are, or will develop into a man.
The Bible, doesn’t care what you or I think or believe. The Old Testament is in part, over 4000 years old. The New Testament is around 2,000 years old. It condemns me as a sinner as well as every other human being born from Adam. Apart from Jesus, I would be tormented, not only in this life, but eternally. Sin comes in many forms. It’s like flavors of ice cream. Everyone has their favorite sin, or sins. Racism? Is a particular form of partiality. You can be partial against old people, white people, rich people, black people, Muslims, any category. And it’s wrong. But it’s just at least as wrong as sexual immorality. Sexual immorality comes in many forms. Basically, if it’s not in a maritial relationship between one man and one woman for life, it’s sexual immorality. Fornication, adultery, and most of the things we think about all the time: sexual immorality. If two people are having sex on a t.v. show, they are probably being sexually immoral (and I can count the times I’ve seen a husband and wife in right standing with God making love on t.v.). Oh, and it shouldn’t be on t.v., but that’s a topic for another time.
Am I perfect? Am I good? No. I’m a sinner apart from Christ. But something is changing in me. I’m less vindictive. More likely to pray grace and mercy, (of if I’m praying honestly, I can say I needed a moment, and please be merciful and gracious now that I’m thinking rightly.).
I can’t stand on the sidelines anymore, guys. And neither can you. Decide who you are going to follow. Jesus or the world. Jesus or the devil. Jesus or your flesh. I’ve decided. And i don’t know what the end result of my journey will be. But, as this point, Jesus is my Lord. I am his bondservant. I have no terms or conditions. I may be unable to get my medicine, or homeless, or die, or anything. But I’ve made my decision. “The time is short,”
