Doug Hurley - Agenders & Morals - Part One: Political Pressure Vs. Godly Purity

[Music] many if not all of us will be aware of the gender perplexity that is not only in our country but also international today we will compare godly purity with the political correctness and the pressures that we face today how do we as a christian deal with us how do we as a christian deal with us political correctness and political pressure versus godly purity i want to start right at the very beginning with the creation of man in genesis chapter 1 and verse 26 genesis 1 26 and we have these familiar words and god said let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth so what is god going to make in this verse well he says let us make man so we have a very direct and an absolute statement here it's not ambiguous but it goes on in the verse to read and let them have dominion so we here we have an addition to the man man is one them is more than one it should really read let us make man and let him have dominion but it reads let them have dominion but in the very next verse we see what god has in mind genesis 1 and verse 27 so god created man in his own image and the image of god created he whom male and female created he them so here as we build our case we find god is creating he him this again indicates man one but it adds straight after those words he him male and female created he them and then we have another edition in verse 28 and god blessed them and god said unto them be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth this verse reveals that god blessed them and god said unto them be fruitful and multiply now just to add confirmation to this we continue to refer to inspiration our only safe guide at this point in time when we have these words all heaven took deep and joyful interest in the creation of the world and of man one human beings now plural were a new and distinct order they were made in the image of god and it was the creator's design that they should populate the earth very short and to the point quote but very relevant so just stressing some factors here god is creating man and within that man he's including male and female and this male and female are to be fruitful and populate or procreate if it's going to take the two of them to procreate and bear fruit will there be any difference between them if it takes the two of them to procreate will one have to receive something from the other or will one have to give something to the other to be able to be fruit bearing yes they will otherwise we could be a fruit of ourselves no need for two so how many genders have we identified at this point two a man or a male and a female so that being the case with our building so far we have a man or also identified as a male and we have a female not a woman at this point that means the human race needs a man or a male and a female to be able to reproduce then that must mean any man or any male can take any female to procreate yes yes absolutely okay let's take a magnifying glass and have a closer look at this in genesis chapter 2 and verses 21 to 25 we have these words and the lord god caused a deep sleep to fall upon adam and he slipped and he took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh instead thereof and in verse 22 and the rib which the lord god had taken from man made he a woman and brought her unto the man and adam said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh and she shall be called woman because she was taken out of man and verse 24 therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and shall cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh and they were both naked the man and his wife and were not ashamed so more is now added we have mentioned now of the word woman taken out of man made from man's rib close to his heart and then she was brought to him she is bone of his bone adam's bone she is his woman and then they shall cleave to each other now she is called his wife so can a man take any female or a woman and procreate and the answer is yes but now no as well in genesis 2 we have the added principle of morals eve was adam's wife no other woman is added here it is adam and eve and them only that procreate and populate the earth and from this initial creation of male and female every person on the earth will have a father and a mother a male and a female a man and his wife now in genesis 2 24 we look at this therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother and cleave unto his wife and they shall be one flesh any man can choose a woman and produce offspring but when that man chooses his woman the moment they engage in intimacy even to copulation they become one that man has left part of himself in that woman and that woman has part of that man in her being not just physically but emotionally as well and spiritually as well they have given all their secrets of their humanity and emotions to that man or that woman and no other man really has a right to that woman and no other woman has a right to that man they are one they have left the confines of their mother and their father and they and that act they cleave read again they are one because they have left the confines of their mother and father and that act and they cleave to each other now out of that customs have developed that a man will court a young woman and they will examine each other's character not their bodies their character at that point they have no right to each other's body but they're finding out as to whether their characters will align for the rest of their lives whether they're fitted for each other and then they will commit to each other in their engagement to each other to plan for their future together then there will be marriage to commit vows and bind them together up to that point there is still an out that man or a woman are not committed to each other they could break from that companionship and take on another but when those vows are taken and when that marriage is consummated no man has a right to that woman and no woman has a right to that man they are one they cleave one to another if those principles were adhered to and retained that woman has a full right to wear fight for her wedding dress biblically white represents righteousness purity christ righteousness the white dress is a symbol of purity to her husband to her parents and siblings and to all the witnesses of that day if she has not retained her purity she has no right to wear white but coming back to our subject god confirmed the principle of purity indelibly in stone and the ten commandments in exodus chapter 20 and verse 14 we have thou shalt not commit adultery and also down in verse 17 of the same set of commandments thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife but coming forward in time jesus reaffirmed the physical aspect in genesis 2 24 way up in his day when he says in matthew 19 verses 4 to 6 have ye not read that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female and verse 5 and said for this cause shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife and they twain shall be one flesh and in verse 6 wherefore they are no more twain but one flesh what therefore god hath joined together let not man put asunder so how many genders do we have in the time of christ just two those texts again cover the physical aspect what about morals paul writes about that up in first corinthians chapter five and verse one it said it is reported commonly that there is fornication among you and such fornication as is not so much as named among the gentiles so this is obviously fairly bad it's not even in the gentiles but it's among the corinthians that one should have his father's wife this passage informs us that there's a fornication among the corinthian church that isn't even with the gentiles outside the church that one should have his father's wife or his mother it is still physically male and female the way god made them but the morals are wrong taking a mother for the reason of sexual intimacy is fornication today we include another word with that and that is incest chapter 6 and verse 13 and 18 now the body is not for fornication but for the lord and the lord for the body fle fornication in verse 18 every sin that a man doeth is without the body but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body get away from it we're told get away your bodies are not for fornication it is it is against god's principles of creating the human race it then goes on to describe the serious era of fornication followed by two well-known verses to us verses 19 and 20 what know ye not that your body is the temple of the holy ghost which is in you which you have of god and you are not your own for you were bought with a price therefore glorify god in your body and in your spirit which are god's so these verses tell us if you are fornicating your body is not the temple of the holy ghost god will not be in you you think you are your own being and can do what you wish with your body the price that has been paid for you will be in vain you certainly will not be glorifying god you will demonstrate a different spirit and it won't be god's it even goes further and gives a solution to this problem in the next chapter in chapter 7 verses 1 to 3 now concerning the things whereof you wrote to me it is good for a man not to touch a woman nevertheless to avoid fornication let every man have his own wife and let every woman have her own husband let the husband render unto the wife do benevolence and likewise also the wife and to the husband okay and this and all of this how many genders have we identified just two does inspiration give any hint of examples of these two genders getting confused with each other like being attracted to or touching another of the same gender when god gave laws to his people on their way to inherit the new promised land for them he laid down some stringent laws and they included some moral laws in regards to getting genders confused in leviticus chapter 18 and verse 22 we have these words thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind it is what an abomination why and what would be the consequences well we read in leviticus 18 29 and 30 for whosoever shall commit any of these abominations even the souls that commit them shall be cut off from among their people and in verse 30 therefore shall ye keep mine ordinances that you commit not any of these abominable customs which were committed before you and that you defile not yourselves therein i am the lord your god in other words do not do these despicable practices i am the lord your god i am your creator and you were not created and made to indulge in this behavior so the bible's very clear that we don't get involved in gender confusion is there any more mention of gender confusion well up in the new testament we have these words professing themselves to be wise they become fools and change the glory of the uncorruptable god into an image made like to corruptable man and to birds and four-footed beasts and creeping things and verse 24 wherefore god also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts to dishonor their own bodies between themselves who changed the truth of god into a lie and worshiped and served the creature more than the creator who was blessed forever amen i just want to pause in these verses one man and his wife is the glory of the incorruptible god that is the truth of god but to corrupt that glory of god to live in a state of uncleanness and out of control lust dishonoring and defiling their own bodies between themselves is living a lie verse 26 it goes on and it says for this cause god gave them up to vile affections for even their woman did change the natural use of that which is against nature and likewise also the men leaving the natural use of the woman burned with lust one towards another men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves the recompense of their error which was meat and in verse 28 and even as they did not like to retain god and their knowledge god gave them over to a reprobate mind to do those things which are not convenient being filled with all unrighteousness i mean look at the list now that's coming this is what happens when you live a lie being filled with all unrighteousness fornication wickedness covetousness maliciousness full of envy murder debate deceit malignity whisperers backbiters haters of god despiteful proud boasters inventors of evil things disobedient to parents without understanding covenant breakers without natural affection and placable unmerciful who knowing the judgment of god that they which commit such things are worthy of death not only to do the same but have pleasure in them that do them because they change the glory of an incorruptible truth of god into a lie of leaving a woman and turning to homosexuality they end up with the attributes that are today that are totally contrary to god's refined character they're totally debauched they're only worthy of death so how did god look at this in paul's day well we just need to go back a few verses to see what god thought of the lord in romans chapter 1 verses 16 to 18 and it says for i am not ashamed of the gospel of christ for it is the power of god unto salvation to everyone that believeth to the jew first and also to the greek for therein is the righteousness of god revealed from faith to faith as it is written that just shall live by faith verse 18 says for the wrath of god is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men and then it goes on to the verses we've just read from verses 22 to 32. now we all know that there is an enemy out there that hates god we have no problem with that it's obvious the very secrets of intimacy that belong to god and his special creation should stay there the devil has an avid hatred of the specialness of humanity's ability to procreate it is special it is sacred and he doesn't have that ability would it be rather obvious what he that he would want to deport it wouldn't it be rather obvious that he would want to debauch it to screw it up and make it dirty and disgusting and yet still have it attractive that all would want to be lured into this debauchery and completely efface god's purpose and image of god's moral beauty and gift to humanity well just before we go on i just want to identify that word debauch as i've used it a few times it means to corrupt by sensuality and temperance to seduce to lead away by as from allegiance or duty a period of wanton or sensual self-indulgence an uninhibited spree or party an orgy or a wild debauche wow so do you think the devil would grovel so low as to bring that upon the human race god's special creation of procreation to blast the image of god out of their mind and their thinking so then do you think it may be possible that the purity the knowledge of god the knowledge of god's law be so eradicated so he faced that even governments governments could possibly be unknowledged so ignorant of god's law that they maybe even repel or resist or outright oppose the morals that god put in place for our long-term happiness and benefit that they may even advocate even promote the unseemly practice of debauched sexuality and even force man to accept it by law is it possible why do we even bring this disgusting subject up why even spend time discussing such issues as this well friends i tell you why because it's here that's why we discuss it this very subject is rattling round in our very own parliament house as we speak and it will most probably be in law by the end of the year possibly if not sooner now family first family first is a it's a christian lobby group i receive a newsletter every few days from this entity family first new zealand it's a conservative christian lobby group in new zealand it was founded in march 2006 with former radio reamer talkback host and south auckland social worker bob mccoskary as the national director its motto is strong families strong nation it's fast become a household name advocating for families and speaking common sense and values on a broad range of family issues in new zealand it seeks to promote strong families and marriage and the value of life based on the principles that have benefited new zealand for generations this ministry is an active voice towards the government for the destruction of the family unit just recently a news release came to me which stirred me considerably its conversion therapy ban criminalizing parents again and this is what it has to say the government is to criminalize parents who affirm sons as boys and daughters as girls legal opinion this is the 9th of february 2021. the legal opinion says that a ban would criminalize parents who wish to protect their child from the physical emotional and psychological harm caused by gender dysphoria parents would be criminalized and liable to six months imprisonment simply for affirming that their sons are boys and their daughters are girls the labour party and the greens want to legislate against the discussion and the practice of alternatives to hormones surgery and confusion merely encouraging a gender-confused child to wait for the orientating effects of puberty to be worked through may be considered a form of child abuse or domestic or psychological abuse as has been suggested by the australian labour party and is happening in canada and the u.s so in other words you can't allow a child to naturally come to puberty and sort its genders out that would actually be abusive a parent who promotes biological sex will be criminalized but an activist who indoctrinates young children with the concept of gender fluidity and third gender will be celebrated this is not loving or compassionate towards children it will also be illegal for a therapist or other professionals to counsel someone with gender dysphoria in a way that affirms their biology islamic and christian schools could be breaking the law for teaching their students that allah or god made us male and female church leaders youth workers and imams could become criminals for reading and explaining the quran or the bible that for doing their job the term conversion therapy has been coined by activists and the media but not clearly defined so the rest of us are left trying to work out what it means if it means practices which are coercive abusive or involuntary or includes things like electric shock therapy or anti-gay boot camps then we can all agree such things are inhumane and must be condemned these types of therapy should not be a part of any community let alone a faith-based one therapy or counselling should never be forced on anyone sadly in the past many state institutions sanctioned inhumane treatments such as electroconvulsive therapy being stripped naked and being locked in a small room massive doses of medication lobotomies and screaming patients chained to cheers fortunately these are not part of the current practice and certainly not of any religious organization goes on to say in 2019 the justice select committee cos consisting of mps from labor and national considered two petitions wanting to ban conversion therapy in their report they rightly declined to support such a ban stating this is 2009 stating this the bill of rights act affirms protects and promotes human rights and fundamental freedoms in new zealand it allows all new zealanders to live free from discrimination including in relation to their sexual orientation new zealanders also have the right to freedom of religion this protects those who offer and seek out conversion therapy because of their religious views all new zealanders should be protected from coercive abuse or for involuntary psychological or spiritual practices however participation and psychological assessments counseling sessions prayer meetings and other therapeutic practices is almost always an expression of voluntary behavior and personal freedom under this proposed ban people would be prevented from getting help to live the lifestyle they choose if that lifestyle is heterosexual or based on their biological sex while gender and sexuality is supposedly fluid activists want the law to stipulate that it can only go in the direction that they approve banning practices which bring about positive change for people and pain changes they genuinely dice and desire for themselves would be a real crime the article continues with questions and answers on what this bill will embrace one can go to this family first website for all the information but this reveals the thinking the morals the values and the short-sightedness that our governing body in new zealand has reached now let's have a brief look at our history from wikipedia in 1840 male homosexual intercourse was criminalized when new zealand became a part of the british empire in 1840 and adopted british law making buggery a crime with a maximum sentence of death that's pretty severe now we move to 1861 britain replaced the death penalty for burglary with life imprisonment new zealand enacted similar legislation six years later 1893 the law in new zealand was broadened to outlaw any sexual activity between men penalties included life imprisonment and labor and flogging but it's interesting that sex between women has never been criminalized in new zealand and as we understand this was under the the reign of queen victoria and queen victoria did not honestly expect and think that woman would go to this extent uh 1986 we come up a few years now the new zealand homosexual law reform act 1986 is a law that legalized consensual sex between men aged 16 and over it removed the provisions of crimes act 1961 that criminalized this behavior 1993 discrimination regarding sexual orientation and gender identity and expression was banned in the same year gay lesbian and bisexual people have been allowed to serve open in the military it goes on 2004 and right up to 2013 after recognizing gender neutral civil unions since 2004 new zealand legalized both same-sex marriage and adoption rights for same-sex couples in 2013. well haven't things changed now in 2021 we have increasingly degraded to the point where new zealand is sounding through the halls of the governing powers to not only legalize and even openly promote and distorted sexual orientation but to criminalize those who wish to re remain pure to the protestant biblical principles even the parents of their own children okay those who have chosen to take that path and live that life as one thing but to brutalize and criminalize those who want to remain true to their convictions and help others when they're asked who is quite another the polls show another side and please be aware that the regular media outlets are giving a one-sided bias to the political preference of our country it may not necessarily mean that the populace share the same sentiments family first reported on february 11 2021 a poll taken by curia market research in december 2020 over a thousand respondents and then it has a margin error there let's look at the first one if a person is unsure about their sexual orientation or gender identity should they be able to seek counselling to determine their own direction how they identify so the answer is 81 said yes that people should be able to seek counselling 12 said no and 7 refused to say number 2 question says if a child is confused about the agenda should it be a crime for a parent to affirm to their daughter that she's a girl or to their son that he's a boy 81 percent said no it should not be a crime seven percent said yes 12 were unsure or didn't know what to say or refuse to say and the third question should it be a crime for a faith leader to teach a biblical or quran view of sexuality and of gender being determined at birth 62 now it should not be a crime 16 said yes 22 were unsure so that's not really what we're hearing through the media and it says in all three questions there was no significant difference in response based on gender age area socioeconomic factors or political party support so on all three there was no preference of class to sway the results so now let's take this to another level in victoria australia our neighbour across the tasman has pushed this to another level this report is from martin isles presenter from australian christian lobby truth made public now listen to this report on february the 5th 2021 now i want to read these words these are very important there was a vote in the victorian parliament last night the andrews government changed in the suppression bill has passed it will now become law well what will become law basically it criminalises the truth it takes those truths about marriage about gender about sex about family that christians hold dear and these now become criminal acts all that is needed is for someone to come along and say that they were harmed by those truths and in the modern world it's not too difficult to complain so what it means is that people with lgbt inclinations and want to live as a christian first and there are a lot of them although the media doesn't acknowledge them but there can be all sorts of complications reasons why those people are like they are but to support them even if they ask is potentially a crime but support them if they do ask he says that's the normal thing to do prayers conversations standards set in the home and by parents or not affirming treatment options by councillors medical professionals are now potential criminal acts but the basic principle is that this bill makes the truth criminal it's a direct attack on the truth of creation it's a direct attack on the fact that god made male and female in his image it's an attack of the fact that he said be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth it's an attack of the fact that a man shall leave his mother and father and shall be joined to his wife it's an attack of the creation ordinance of life itself it's an attack not just on creation but also an attack on the creator it's an attack on god's people who want to live on standards of righteousness and the design that god has given the purpose he has given and not by legislative brush strokes of men there's people out there that think that it's lower law order issue this is not a lower order issue this is not a law to ignore this is not one to walk around this is vital it's about the creator it's about god himself so then he says what shall we do that's the question and a lot of people want to know we need to answer this because it's not a question that has been answered well all things have become a little harder to do the right thing particularly in the school environment in the christian home and what we are allowed to say and not say people are now feeling the pinch but the question hasn't been answered well what shall we do the answer in this particular case is extremely simple think of the apostles when they had their equal opportunity commission moment they were facing the sanhedrin and they were told that they had to stop speaking on certain topics about the truth and the gospel itself they responded hang on a sec we're under orders from the true king jesus he has told us what to do but they were told from the anti-discrimination tribunal that they could not talk of their king those disciples simply responded no that goes in the face of christ and what he said he would have us do we must obey god rather than man those were the words to live by in other words what they were saying was we have to live as if this ruling bill never happened it just doesn't exist because it directly contradicts what god has asked us to do so what must we do in the case that we're experiencing today we must live as though this bill doesn't exist but that doesn't mean we go out and do barbaric things like the bill is apparently designed to stop but don't modify your behavior in areas like for example someone comes to you and asks for prayer you pray for them if someone comes to you for assistance give them the assistance they need if you are doing a bible study a study group or if you're in a position where you are speaking about the bible and you get to the section about sexual ethics or marriage or related topics if you were talking about creation itself and how god made things and set them up for his purpose and desires go through with it don't stop don't avoid it in fact preach it speak about it as if only god were watching if your child has gender dysphoria or same-sex attraction treat them with the same love that christ would have you treat them with support them with the same way don't compromise or change what you do because of what the bill says now that requires a lot of courage and that would have been why the apostle said we must obey god rather than man and then they left and what did they then do they prayed and the content of that prayer was really important grant your service boldness to continue to live as though this bill substantially doesn't exist look at daniel his prayers were made illegal and criminalized what did he do he kept on praying nothing changed this is real faith to continue to do what god would have him do to change nothing in the face of the law the legislative pen strokes of men what about joseph years had passed after his betrayal into the hands of traders by his brothers he says to his brothers you meant it for evil against me but god meant it for good the present victorian government intends this bill for evil they intend evil against god's people they intend evil in relation to picking a fight with god effectively becoming an outlaw of truth they mean evil but of course we are called to live by faith in this now hostile world joseph was in such a hostile world but god was with him all the way and made it for good now we now experience the beginnings of living in a hostile world and if we live by faith if we live in a if we live a righteous life god will ultimately turn it for good for his true people god is still in control and that is so important for us to recognize to the generation now living it may we well be that the comfortable life of ease and success is no longer our calling it may be that serving god costs us and that cost may be significant if we choose to serve god and him first it cost joseph a lot but we could well say he wouldn't have wanted it any other way god made good out of it it cost daniel a lot but we could well say that daniel wouldn't have it any other way god made good out of it it's worth bearing these thoughts in mind times are changing we must recalibrate and say we will obey god rather than man we are not going to live by lies but we have to live by righteousness strong words from martin isles in australia but coming back to new zealand obviously victoria's ahead of us but most probably not for long so how do we act how do we act i purposely wanted to reveal most of martin isles message to jolt us and sober our minds to what is becoming a reality so again how do we act just as israel were going to proceed into the promised land their leader joshua had some very wise counsel for god's people and joshua chapter 1 verses 6 to 9 be strong and of a good courage for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land which i swear unto their fathers to give them only be thou strong and very courageous that thou mayest observe and do all according to all the law which moses my servant commanded thee turn not from it to the right hand or to the left that thou mayest prosper with us whoever they are goest this book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth but thou shalt meditate therein day and night that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous and then thou shalt have good success verse 9 have i not commanded thee be strong and of a good courage be not afraid neither be thou dismayed for the lord thy god is with thee withersoever thou goest and as the book continues on joshua stands firm to his principles and at the end in the very last chapter he again encourages the people of israel in verse 15 chapter 24 and verse 15 choose you this day whom you were served whether the gods that your father served that were on the other side of the flood or the gods of the amorites whose land ye dwell but as for me and my house we will serve the lord in later days we again have an other's voice the same message that martin isles referred to here in acts chapter 5 verse 29 and then peter and the other apostles answered and said we ought to obey god rather than man friends we have the counsel in our hands and in our minds we know what this political correctness is all about martin isles is right it is meant for evil but if god is going to bring good out of it who's he going to use will we cower into a corner and go quiet or worse still will we compromise to save our skin and adopt the political vile laws listen carefully here is how we're going to act from inspiration acts of the apostles page 68 we are to recognize human government as an ordinance of divine appointment and teach obedience to it as a sacred duty within its legitimate sphere but when it claims conflict with the claims of god we must obey god rather than men god's word must be recognized as above all human legislation thus saith the lord is not to be set aside for a thus saith the church or a thus saith a state the crown of christ is to be lifted above the diadems of earthly potentates but also as martin isles counsels and strongly so does inspiration give the same counsel it goes on and it says we are not required to defy authorities our words whether spoken or written should be carefully considered lest we place ourselves on record as uttering that which would make us appear antagonistic to law and order we are not to say or do anything that would unnecessarily close up our way we are to go forward in christ's name advocating the truths committed to us if we are forbidden by men to do this work then we may say as did the apostles whether it be right in the sight of god to hearken unto you more than to god judge ye for we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard i have to bring this to a close but in bringing it to a close messages such as this are very important to us we must be alert and prepared for what is coming and if i have some information to be able to help i'm duty bound to share it if we profess to have standards we'd better live them now if we don't people others like martin isles and bob mccoskary will come up and take our place but as we conclude i want to again make a comment on martin isles address and his closing words he says i just want to say an appreciation to the thousands of people who have stood against this bill for the church leaders who have publicly put their names against it while the bill has passed but we have made great progress in the people's response there is a growing concern among the population and that is so true there is a growing concern among the population concerns will increase and the political pressure will become religious rather than the presently atheistic socialistic and caustic environment we have only revealed here today a little of what is really going on but it should be enough to wake us up as we change from the truth of god into a society built on lies from from what makes perfect sense based on the truth of god's word to what makes no sense based on fabricated lies it's the difference between common sense and nonsense be alert be aware be informed do your own study from a bond with your savior form a bond with your savior that when the going gets tough you know exactly who to turn to because you have experienced the love and the secure that he offers friends i just say this in all sincerity as we close off exercise your religion by conviction and not by preference foreign
