THE BIBLICAL COMMAND FOR LIFE
At the foot of Mt. Sinai, God handed down to Moses, on two stone tablets, the Ten Commandments, which would form the basis of all Biblical law and societal ethics from that point forward. The Sixth Commandment, “Thou shalt not kill,” stands as an unambiguous defense of life. It condemns murder, yes and amen, but its scope extends far beyond the apparent sins like serial killing and suicide bombing. It also denounces any kind of action that undermines the sanctity of human life or promotes a culture of death, including behaviors and ideologies that stifle the production of future generations in the womb. If the womb of a woman was to be fruitful and multiply with her husband, any action that robs fruit from the womb of a woman is akin to a kind of killing. Not just killing the actual children of her womb, which is undoubtedly the case in abortion. But also in destroying the potential fruit from her womb, engaging in behaviors that shrivel and prevent her from bringing new life into the world, which today are legion.
For instance, homosexuality, lesbianism, and transgenderism are more than mere deviations from Biblical sexual ethics; they are direct violations of the Sixth Commandment. These practices, under the guise of love and identity, tragically result in the killing of future generations by engaging in fruitless sexual unions and surgeries that mutilate the body God has fearfully and wonderfully made.
MURDERING FROM BARREN UNIONS
When two men or two women come together, their union is intrinsically sterile. This sterility is not only biological but profoundly spiritual, as it defies God’s design for human sexuality. In Genesis, God commands humanity to “be fruitful and multiply” (Genesis 1:28). Homosexuality and lesbianism reject this divine mandate, choosing instead a barren path of emptiness and void. Every act of homosexual or lesbian sex is a deliberate choice against the potential life that heterosexual unions naturally produce. It is a silent yet profound killing of the unborn, future generations, legacy, and a denying of the very possibility of future life to come from bodies committed to death. Homosexuality is not only about the unholy use and practice of your genitals, it is the implementation of pure unadulterated selfishness, to rob the future of life to enjoy a commitment in the present to death.
MURDERING IN MULTILATED SELFISHNESS
Transgenderism, with its invasive surgeries and hormone treatments, takes this violation a step further. It not only prevents the natural procreation process but also destroys the God-given body, crafted with a specific purpose. These actions are the epitome of societal selfishness, where personal desires are placed above the natural law and the greater good of humanity. The surgeries that render a person infertile or the hormonal treatments that disrupt natural biological processes are acts of violence against God’s creation, ensuring that no future generations can come forth from such mutilated bodies.
A GENERATION ADDICTED TO DEATH
The LGBTQ movement’s refusal to populate society with sexually healthy and moral citizens, as commanded by Scripture, is one the greatest act of societal selfishness imaginable. Rather than embracing the blessing of children, the movement celebrates death, and only stays alive by perverting the offspring of the heterosexual unions they detest and reject. They rely on the very system they abhor to continue propagating their ideology, like a parasite who cannot live without the life of the host, their dependence on the fruit of our wombs highlights the utter emptiness of their lifestyle.
By refusing to bring forth life, they not only violate the Sixth Commandment but also contribute to a culture of death, where the value of life is diminished, and the sanctity of procreation is discarded. They perpetuate a legacy not of life and godliness but of barrenness, all-out rebellion against God’s design, and stand ready to receive the awful judgment that God has been patiently and mercifully withholding.
A CALL TOWARD THE REVIVAL OF LIFE
As Christians, we must be people who stand for life. Life in the womb, life that comes from covenant marriages, and we must stand against anything that stands in the way of that. From the policies that promote death written by politicians who are the grandchildren of eugenicists to defending the Sixth Commandment in all its fullness, we must advocate for the sanctity of life in every form, from the womb to natural death, and reject any ideology or practice that undermines this sacred principle. Our society’s future depends on our willingness to populate it with godly, moral people and to speak the truth against the culture of death.
As the culture around us swims in its own filth, reveling in death, let us be places where vibrant living and the production of life occur. And may our joy and jubilant love for God and His creation become so infectious that all who are addicted to death will come home to the God of life, embracing life in Christ, repenting of deathlike living, and helping us kill the culture of death forever.
