  1. Thinking Clearly About Sexual Confusion Sue Bohlin Probe Ministries www.probe.org suebohlin.com

  2. Why Are We Confused? • Those holding a Christian worldview: • 19% born-again adults • 9% all American adults • 2% of 18-25 born-agains • .5% of 18-25 Americans • “Cultural Captivity”

  3. Strongholds 3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 2 Cor. 10:3-5

  4. Stronghold #1:Sex • It is the ultimate pleasure. • It is a right. • It is a basic need. • It is not a moral issue • It’s just part of being social • “Phase 2” for those who have been married

  5. Stronghold #2 • Be your “authentic self.” • “Authentic self” = what your flesh really wants to do Ted Haggard on Oprah

  6. Stronghold #2:“Authentic Self” Oprah: When this is all said and done and we look back on this time of you, Rielle Hunter, the mistress and all of that, what is it you want people to really understand about what has happened here?Rielle: All of their feelings that they're feeling and hatred that's directed toward me has to do with their fears or their anger and disappointment and sadness about their mother cheating on their father or their father or their husband or their spouse. It has to do with them, and it doesn't have to do with me, because they don't know me.

  7. Stronghold #2:“Authentic Self” Oprah: Why can't it just be that they think that it's wrong?Rielle: People can think that it's wrong for me to do that. They can think it's wrong for anyone to do that, but it still has to do with them thinking it's wrong. It doesn't have to do with me.
