It's influenced by the modern philosophy of today's society. In today's society, there is no such thing as absolutes. There is the majority, and there is relativism. Basically, it's not what's wrong decreed by God, but what is wrong by what the majority of society says. An example of this is Spanking. 30 years ago, spanking was a legitimate form of punishing your child. Even the Bible, in proverbs, speaks about spanking a child and even encourages it. However, If you spank a child now, you are brought up on charges of child abuse and sentanced by law. The majority of society felt it to be wrong. Another example is Homosexuality. Leviticus and Romans both describe the act of homosexuality and declares it to be wrong. Yet, in today's society, the Majority of society has said that it is not wrong. By talking about the reality and consequences of sin, you are talking about the absolute truth about what is wrong and what is not according to the standard set by God. It takes the power of deciding right and wrong out of the hands of Society and places it back into the hands of God where it belongs. It basically reminds people that the power they have is only imaginary. It is one thing to be innocent in the eyes of the laws of society. It is something entirely different to be innocent in the eyes of God. The thought of being innocent in the eyes of society, yet guilty in the eyes of God scares people ... alot. Jesus loves you, Jesusman |
