Thank you for your support, and we hope you enjoyed this episode of Every Square Inch. We are currently doing a series hoping to provide answers to ethical barriers to the Christian faith, which I am arguing have become as significant,

if not more significant than the classic intellectual barriers. Essentially, I'm giving

an apologetic for the goodness of God because I believe our neighbors are struggling with whether

God is good more so than whether God is true. Or maybe a better way to say that

is because God is not good, God cannot be true. And the next objection I want to discuss is probably

the most controversial, one of them all. There are many Christian ethics that our world still agrees with.

We don't think it is wrong that God condemns murder, stealing, lying.

These we accept as uncontroversial ethics, and the fact that God declares them to be sinful does not cause us to question God's goodness.

But the moment the ethics of Christianity enters the bedroom,

as soon as we venture into the arena of human sexuality,

we run into a major obstacle.

Simply put, a God who makes ethical demands

that threatens my sexual and gender expression, freedom,

enjoyment, and so forth cannot be a good God.
