Genesis 2:23-24 (NIV) 23 The man said, "This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called 'woman,' for she was taken out of man." 24 For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh.
Isaiah 30:9 (NIV) These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to listen to the LORD's instruction.
Romans 8:7 (NIV) The sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
When California adopted a sex-education program, the ACLU sent this official memorandum:
"The ACLU regrets to inform you of our opposition to SB 2394 concerning sex education in public schools. It is our position that teaching that monogamous, heterosexual intercourse within marriage is a traditional American value is an unconstitutional establishment of religious doctrine in public schools... We believe SB 2394 violates the First Amendment." Again I stress, to me the question is not why modern secularists reject traditional morality, but on what grounds they defend any morality. -- Philip Yancey, Books & Culture, Vol. 4, no. 1.
