About Jesus Steve Sweetman Ascent
To Supremacy Genesis
11:4 states that man built a city with a tower that was intended to
reach to the heavens. The
stated reasons for man's building project was twofold.
Man wanted to make a name for himself, and he wanted to dwell in
one large city instead of being scattered across the countryside.
The motivating factor behind all this was man's desire to ascend
to supremacy. This ascent to
supremacy is what satan successfully tempted Eve with in the Garden
of God
responded to the Tower
of Ever
since the We
aren't stopping at undoing what God did at Babel. We're also attempting to
undo what He did at creation. One
way in which we are doing this is how we are blurring the distinctions
between men and women. One
simple example of this can be seen in my local school district.
Certain teachers want to incorporate co-ed bathrooms in our
schools. The topic was
reportedly introduced by a "bisexual" teacher who wants the
bisexual lifestyle included in the school curriculum as being a normal
sexual preference. Co-ed
bathrooms would help reinforce the normalcy to this by-sexual lifestyle.
Little
by little, systematic attempts over the years have been made to blur the
distinctions between the sexes and to blur the role men and women have
traditionally played in marriage, family, and society.
Females having sex with females, and men having sex with men has
aided this blurring. Men
becoming women and women becoming men is taking the blurring process to
a new level. Bisexual or
co-ed bathrooms is just another step along the path to genderlessness.
What we're really doing is attempting to undo what the Lord did
at creation. He created a
man to be a man and a woman to be a woman, united to one another,
distinct in who they are, and distinct in their roles in life. Our
attempt at genderlessness through bio-technology, reconstructive
surgery, redefining of marriage and the sexes, among other things, is
our way of becoming a creator god. It's
our ascent to supremacy. You
might call our attempt to become a creator god "neo-paganism".
It's what satan has wanted for us all along. Consider
what the apostle Paul said in Acts 17:22 to 32 as he stood before the
people of Athens. I think it's relevant. He
said, "
from one man God made every nation of men that they
should inhabit the whole earth
"
Biblically speaking, humans came from the creation of "one
man", not from an explosion of dust particles.
Paul
continues. "
God
determined the times set for them (men and women) and the exact places
where they should live".
The exact places God has determined for us to live as seen
throughout the Bible is across the face of this earth, not on other
planets. God has set times,
predetermined dates, that are important to the human race.
He has set times when He steps into humanity to deal
with us as He wishes. Judgment
as seen at Babel
was one set time. The cross
of Christ is another. The
date for the return of the Lord Jesus Christ has been predetermined, set
in stone. Jesus will return
at the predetermined moment in one final judgment.
Paul
continues, "
we are God's offspring
we should not think that
the divine being is like gold
images. In
the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now He commands all people
everywhere to repent. For He
has set a day to judge the world with justice by the man (Jesus) who He
has appointed
" We
are "God's offspring", created in His likeness and image.
We did not evolve, and what we're attempting to evolve into is a
matter of sin, not of evolution. The blurring of the sexes into one
genderless society is just one of many attempts to undo what God did at
creation; just another attempt to ascend to supremacy.
This "ignorance" on our part is no longer tolerated by
the Lord. We need
to repent, but we won't. Therefore,
there is a "set day", one predetermined moment, when God will
once again step into humanity. As
the Tower of Babel came crashing to the ground so our
ascent to supremacy will come crashing to the ground in one final and
horrific act of God's judgment. That
day can't be far off.
