God’s Creation Order. What is our basis for this battle we are waging?
God’s Creation Order.
What is our basis for this battle we are waging? Yes, it comes back to God’s Creation. Understanding this and understanding the attack is essential to our response.
Man created in the Image of God “let US make man in our image”
All human life has intrinsic value in all states of dependence and disability from fertilisation to life’s natural end.
Attack: abortion; euthanasia; physician assisted suicide; destructive embryo research; embryo de-selection and eugenics including sex selection and Down Syndrome genocide; babies accidentally born alive after abortion procedure and left to die; after-birth abortion; cloning, chimeras and cyborgs. See medicinewithmorality.org.au
Ultimately to control all reproductive and life processes, to create life and design it according to our own wishes, “cleansing” the human race for the future and in the meantime eliminating all that is deemed less than perfect.
Eden and the Tower of Babel revisited. To be free of the Creator God, to render Him unnecessary and be our own gods. We will be in control of our own lives and will choose how and when to die and choose the same for others.
Islamic terrorism. Not putting the same value on human life, eliminating whole communities by conquest and genocidal killing. Hatred directed to anyone who does not accept Allah on their terms – with Jews and Christians as prime targets.
Pushed by: from within by the atheistic lobby and “God-haters”, atheistic or naïve genetic experimenters; leftist social engineers.
Remember: permission becomes compulsion. Apart from the destruction of social order also at threat is liberty of conscience and discrimination in employment.
The creation of Masculinity and Femininity (“bone of my bones, flesh of my flesh)
So much more than having physical intercourse but nevertheless includes the Creation Mandate to “Be fruitful and multiply”.
Attack: gender fluidity and transgenders; be whatever sex you like – you are in charge of your destiny – you are your own god. The rebellion against God’s design of “natural” intercourse leading to homosexuality.
Pushed by: the gay lobby, leftist social engineers and the PC brigade
Remember: permission becomes compulsion. Apart from destruction of social order also at threat is liberty of speech, of belief and to teach our children. Further specific attacks through public education e.g. Safe Schools Coalition Australia encouraging to declare sexual preferences early leading to identity confusion and also experimentation.
Loss of liberty to speak about the dangers of these lifestyles and discrimination in employment and business ultimately threatening parenthood.
Marriage as a specific subset of sexuality and a Creation Mandate; “one flesh”; “for this reason shall a man cleave to his wife”
Attack: to destroy marriage as an institution, to push “marriage” and “family” as we choose it to be and then discarding as a useless concept with complete sexual freedom then to specific Satanic attack on Christian marriage and family to paralyse the Bride of Christ.
The decline of the West is both moral and by declining birth rate demographic winter
Pushed by: the gay lobby, leftist social engineers and PC brigade
Remember: permission becomes compulsion. Apart from destruction of social order also at threat is liberty of speech, of belief and to teach our children. Loss of liberty to speak about the dangers to society and discrimination in employment and business ultimately also threatening parenthood and in particular Christian parenthood. The attacks are unprecedented.
Stewards of Creation – animal kingdom and the earth – bring order, subdue, care for, work. Inclusive of a Sabbath rest – and God saw that it was good, and rested.
Attack: failure and neglect leading to ecological disaster.
Islamic aggression and nuclear disaster – what happens to the earth in the eye of radical Islam is subservient to the promise of Paradise.
We ignore the principle of a Sabbath rest to our peril.
Truth – at root is Satan’s attack on God’s Truth – did God really say?
Deceits and obfuscations are prolific (but not pro-life-ic). The gay lobby has hijacked compassion and equality and the rainbow in the attack on sexuality and marriage. Note how often Jesus said I tell you the truth.
Realising then that all we may do here below as an outworking of Christian responsibility and that we have the Mind of Christ must be in recognition that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood” and that the real battle is going on in heavenly places between spiritual powers and that PRAYER is then to be our most significant weapon.
The Lord’s Prayer is a good foundation.
Lachlan Dunjey. In humility, as a village GP, not a theologian, 27 December 2015.
PS Maybe it has been more obvious to others than it has been to me, but I have realised the Creation account underpins everything I am involved in ethically and morally. It is foundational to all I do and believe.
