If enough people say that sexual perversion is OK, then who are we to say otherwise? The culture has already said that the murder of innocents is OK.
We point out that God has left us two examples of His judgment against sin for our instruction. It is not that we have not been warned, but that we do not believe the warnings.
‘For if God … did not spare the ancient world, but saved Noah, one of eight people, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood on the world of the ungodly; 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; and delivered righteous Lot, who was oppressed by the filthy conduct of the wicked … then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority’ [2 Peter 2:4-11].
The argument is not against the preachers of righteousness, but against the living God. Will the preachers of perversion convince God that He is bigoted and intolerant? Did Christ suffer needlessly for that which is not sin? God forbid! Will the creature question the Creator? ‘But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God?’ [Romans 9]
