Material Progress Often Produces Moral Regress ~ Hesiodos 700 BC ~ |
Talk about being prescient, perceptive if not prophetic! The arc of morality is not only curved and crooked it is bent and almost broken. Who would have imagined that the Secretary of State of the USA would decree that all embassies of the USA may fly the gay pride flag beneath the flag of the USA and yes…even on the same flagpole? Who would have imagined that parents have the right to allow their 5-year-old child to change their gender identity and set them up to have medical procedures to forever mutilate their bodies and further confuse their minds? Who would have imagined it would be illegal to tell a homosexual or lesbian “your sexual orientation is a sin and there is a way to help heal you?” Who would have imagined that our technology not only theoretically allows but has actually performed the uniting of human genes with monkeys, let alone pigs to form chimeras for the goal of harvesting organs for humanity’s good? The world has been confused before, as it is today. In fact, from the beginning, Adam and Eve became confused when they challenged God’s word and doubted His goodness. Today we show the same confusion when we fail to discern the difference between God and creation, the division between man and animal, and the distinction of man and woman in marriage. There is no doubt that we are acquiring scientific knowledge faster than we are acquiring wisdom. The real problem is - we are not looking for wisdom. We are only asking, “Can we do it?” and not asking “Should we do it?” There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.
