Sexual rights gone wrong

When everyone does what is right in his own eyes the nation is on the slippery slope of disaster. When they could not get a man, a band of frustrated homosexuals raped a woman to death. Then the tribe of Benjamin rallied around them to defend their “rights.” What began as Sodom-like sexual deviance in Israel, ended in a civil war in which thousands were killed (Judg 19-20). This is surely some of Israel’s dirtiest laundry and God chose to include it in the book that millions would read for millennia to follow. I believe that this account is here to warn us about the social erosion caused by sexual sin. Homosexuality has always been present, but until now it was not recognized as a civil right. It was considered sin or at least mental illness. When sexual sin is legitimized as a protected “right” can judgment be far behind?
