Today's commentary may not be suitable for young children please use parental discretion unless you've been under a rock for the last few weeks you've heard about the plethora of hash tag me 2 reports of sexual harassment and abuse perpetrated by politicians actors in the news media the accused run the gamut from liberal to conservative Christian to Skeptic while the stories are different in detail and gravity there's a common thread people in positions of power mostly men taking advantage of less powerful people mostly females to satiate their sexual whims many secularists and cheerleaders of the sexual revolution are now shocked that so many people are giving free rein to what one writer calls the brutality. Of the male libido in surveying the wreckage it's hard to miss the bitter irony here I'm reminded of c.s. Lewis's abolition of Man in which he writes in a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function we make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise we laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst but I'm glad the growing numbers are finally beginning to wake up to the ugly results of their secular worldview a great example is an opinion piece called let's rethink sex by Christine mba in The Washington Post an opinion writer and editor there correctly notes that the culture got off track in matters sexual by making the dual assumption that we all deserve a certain amount of sex and that nothing should get in the way of us satisfying our desires even she says when reciprocity is unclear it's not that sex in and of itself is the problem or rights but the idea that pursuing one's sexual imperatives should take precedence over workplace rules lines of power or even just appropriate social behavior is what allows predators to justify sexual harassment and assault Amazingly she says that we ought to return to some of the old virtues including Prudence temperance respect and even love well imagine that so far so good but who has started down the path of wisdom is hesitant to go too far saying it's unlikely that will return to a society in which sexual encounters outside of marriage are disallowed or even discouraged that sex train has already left the fornication station if it was ever properly there to begin with Ok but why not return as Louis also wrote We all want progress but progress means getting nearer to the place where you want to be and if you have taken a wrong turning then to go forward does not get you any nearer if you are on the wrong road progress means doing an about turn and walking back to the right road so if we're to rethink sex as Emma and others are beginning to advocate it makes perfect sense to look to the one who gave us sex in the 1st place God Himself and see what he says. About it and it's certainly not about satisfying our selfish desires way back in the book of Genesis we see the 2 main functions of sex identified by theologians across the spectrum of Christianity the unitive and the procreative and they are inseparably linked with marriage therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife and they shall become one flesh and the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed that's the unitive aspect of sex bringing husband and wife together for mutual benefit now Adam knew Eve his wife and she conceived and born Cain that is the procreative aspect which far too often in our culture has been completely divorced from the sex act with disastrous results so come to the break point dot org In a link you to embrace article What a great discussion started to engage our secular friends and acquaintances but only under appropriate circumstances of course let the rethinking begin breakpoint this is Eric Metaxas.
