Let us not
be glad that good sense prevailed in Canada, for the truth is much worse than
we think.
Bestiality
and Zoophila are the terms that represent the morbid, perverted and hedonistic
act of sexual intercourse between humans and animals.
There are
animal brothels! Apparently animal brothels are on the rise in Germany under
the pretext that sex with animals is a “lifestyle choice.”
The
presence of animal brothels need not surprise us, for bestiality was practiced
even in the biblical times. The Bible deems bestiality as a perversion and
pronounces curses upon the perverts indulging in such heinous practices. We
live in a sinful world, so we expect and experience sins of all forms and
sizes.
Perverts
claim that sex with animals is a lifestyle choice. Mexico, Finland, Hungary, Brazil,
Denmark, Sweden, USA, South Africa, Columbia and Germany are the countries
where one can have sexual intercourse with animals.2
The fact
that people claim bestiality as their lifestyle choice should also not depress
us. We live in a world that actively promotes debauched lifestyle choices.
Making a
bad lifestyle choice is not new to us. Cigarettes, for instance, are proven
(beyond doubt) to be harmful to human health. Yet we sell and promote cigarettes.
People, who are well aware of the harmful effects of cigarettes upon their
body, smoke them willingly.
So the
presence of sin and the sinful preference of man are not the most disturbing
aspects. But what disturbs me most is the reason propounded by those combating
the evil practice of bestiality.
Recently
the Danish government banned bestiality in Denmark. Yes, bestiality was once
legal in Denmark!!!
Please read
this news snippet carefully; this apparently was a statement by the Danish
government, “The Danish government has
decided that a ban on sexual relations between humans and animals shall be
implemented in the Danish legislation.
Animals
must be treated with respect and care and have the right to a high level of
protection. When it comes to sexual relations between humans and animals there
is a special concern to be taken into account, as the animals cannot consent to enter into a sexual relation with a human
being. Another concern is that it can be difficult to identify and document possible physical or mental damage to the
animal as a result of the sexual relation with a human being.” (Emphasis
Mine).3
Why did the
Danes ban bestiality? The answer is simple. The Danes banned bestiality so to
prevent cruelty upon animals.
It is this
answer that disturbs me the most. We are more concerned about the animals than we
are about our fellow humans! In fact, we are not concerned about the wellness
of human beings. By wellness, I mean the spiritual wellness.
European
countries have long since buried God into the metaphorical grave. Consequently,
mankind is slowly yet steadily digging graves and burying each other.
The
morality that the Bible espouses is the creation’s most appropriate response to
their creator, which is to honor and glorify God through our thoughts, words,
and deeds. Sin is an assault upon God.
Within the
context of morality, when we enthrone animals, we dethrone God, who is the
essence of morality. When we deem God as nonexistent or dead or when we
intently ignore HIM, we adulterate and mitigate our conception of morality. God
is no longer the essence of morality. Within the context of bestiality, animals
have replaced God.
Having
replaced God with animals, we are more concerned about our exploitation of
animals than we are about Satan’s exploitation of man to lure him to perennially
sin against God.
Sex, as
intended by God, is the sacred consummation of a marital relationship between a
husband and his wife. Today, that biblical notion is being erased deliberately.
Sex is liberally viewed more as a lifestyle choice by those who have buried God.
So when we
realize that animals are being inordinately hurt by brutal animalish humans,
our focus is more towards saving the animals because they cannot fight their
own cause.
We should
save our animals, no doubts, but then who will save the sinful mankind?
Satan is
winning huge victories in many lives. Those who stand at the sidelines and are
seated at the bleachers, applaud these victories as if these victories are
paving way for a blessed life.
Today, the
secular world’s message to its brutish inmates is this; it is wrong inappropriate
to have sex with animals, since, by doing so, you are inordinately hurting the
animals. This is the morality we desire.
In the process,
we encourage our fellow men to have sex with other humans. It does not matter
if that human being is your own spouse or the spouse of your neighbor or even a
fellow male or a fellow female. Adultery and homosexuality are Aok! But please
do not hurt the animals.
Morality is
thrown into the fire from the frying pan progressively and almost irreversibly.
We may
think and celebrate that we are saving our animals, but we are losing our
fellow men to Satan’s schemes. We do not realize Satan’s presence because we
have buried God. Consequently, we are the causal agents encouraging morality to
plummet into darker depths all the while thinking that we are the defenders of
morality.
We are
defending a skimmed morality. The essence of morality, God, has been skimmed.
While the
world condemns bestiality, it celebrates fornication, premarital sex, homosexuality,
adultery and what not! Welcome to the
darker future.
Do not live
under the false impression that our future will be glorious. Our future will
not be glorious. Our future will be dark.
I am not
referring to a darker future with respect to our economic development or
technological development and the likes. Our world, with respect to its moral
state of affairs, will plunge into darker depths.
What then
is the need of the hour?
God should
be in the equation. In other words, those who believe in God ought to remain in
Christ, voice their opinions, and strengthen their children and their neighbors
to live for God and HIM alone. When we live for God, our thoughts, words and
deeds will be pleasing in HIS sight. When we live for God, we will strive to be
morally upright and by the grace of our dear Lord, we will.
As long as
Satan exists, and he will exist until he is annihilated by Christ in the
future, evil will prosper and morality will plummet. In this depressing situation, if we can live strong and
well in the Lord, it is to our benefit.
Many
Christians will be swayed by the world and will depart from the truth that is
only found in Christ. These so-called Christians are the wolves in sheep’s
clothing (cf. Matthew 7: 15). Beware of them. They will demand that we be
politically correct and be tolerant of anything and everything that happens
around us.
I believe
it was Francis Schaeffer who predicted that mankind would compromise absolute
truth, “Today not only in philosophy but
in politics, government, and individual morality, our generation sees solutions
in terms of synthesis and not absolutes. When this happens, truth, as people
have always thought of truth, has died.” Let us not compromise the absolute
truth, rather let us live for the absolute truth in Christ and may the truth
set people free.
