Yes, Alamo-Girl: I come to the same conclusion. These absolutes really are the laws of human life, the only laws that dignify and liberate true human nature. Without them, there are no stable individuals, no stable families -- nor stable societies, which rest on the first two stabilities.
At the root of the present disorder is the idea of unfettered sexual liberation. I'm not speaking of this out of mere "prudish" antipathy. Rather, not for nothing the promulgation of the ideology of "free love" was a key goal of Marx. (Another was the progressive income tax.) Well he understood that unfettered sexual liberation would undermine and finally destroy the family, the last bastion standing in the way of achieving the complete dissolution of the social structures maintaining "traditional" society, which he detested. After all, his own plans for creating "perfect" society depended on individual men being totally defenseless, because no longer supported by humane institutions rooted in human nature, which he was trying to "revolutionize" -- as if man were merely clay in his hands to be freely reshaped, recreated according to his preferences. ALL his epigones -- his progressivist followers from Lenin through Hitler to Mao, Stalin, and Pol Pot -- have learned the value of "freeing people" from the constraints of "traditional" sexuality.
The fact that we in the West have fallen for this strategy on a mass scale sets up the erosion of our societies from within, starting with the family. The children are the first victims of these "innovations." But the devastation is for all of us, at the last.
You may well be right that "this may be a fulfillment of prophecy," for the trend appears irreversible, and can lead only to one result in the long run. I pray God that this will not come to pass, that we humans still have the freedom and the will to alter our fatal course before we get totally shipwrecked and drown in our own concupiscence, vanity, selfishness, brutishness, and loss of love.
Indeed, Christians need to muster all the courage they can to return this country to moral absolutes. But should we fail, we can remember that God always has his "remnant" which He cherishes and protects.
But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal.
Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace. - Romans 11:3-5
