Without the Biblical Concept of “The Future” There is Only Sex
Host
Joseph Foreman
Description
Brings 5 ideas together:
1. For all practical purposes the two major obstacles to recreational sex, pregnancy and disease, have been removed.
2. Sexual ethics and much of the social structure adopted to support it are now found unnecessary and oppressive to women in particular who are “freed” from these biological consequences.
3. Labor is increasingly tied to intellectual judgement and freed from physical strength, to produce fruit and personal physical warfare to defend its fruit.
4. If traditional morality is to survive it must demonstrate a positive contribution of God’s Law concerning sex and covenant to the freedom men and women both have from the negative consequences of sexuality and the new possibilities for human growth and development if God’s Law continues to shape society.
5. This fruitful possibility is found not in protection from the negative threat but in the positive development of the Biblical Theological purpose of the creation order as it is restored and Christian society frees itself from the curse that has plagued the Gentiles since God’s Law was first rejected and shows what fruitfulness can be in a world governed the only way it can be which is by God’s law ruling each heart freely. It is this vision of the future we must recover for our Children.

The Reconstructionist Radio Podcast Network presents “Shaping the Future” A podcast series by Joseph Foreman that presents God’s legacy to His Children — the Heritage of His people is a vision of the Future God plans for His Creation to guide their lives as pilgrims through History, making History, shaping the future as we go. His children are the arrows he shoots into the heart of the future to transform it.From the first verses of the Bible to the Last, God’s people inherit the earth in the same space time history He began in the garden and that story will only be fulfilled only when His City, His Kingdom, is realized in the earth.It is by His word that we do not merely travel into, but we are ordained to shape that very future.It never occurred to any culture that change was possible, or normal, or good. The Bible alone, created the idea that the world and humanity were designed to make the future a better place than the past that you will make it that way because God made you to shape the future and he made the future to be shaped by you.The vision is simple: It is not, “You can change the world.” It is, “God designed you from the foundation of the earth to change it for the better and he designed the earth to be changed by you.”Moses, the Prophets, and the Apostles envision the future that Jesus Christ, the Word, Wisdom and Architect of the Godhead laid out in Creation, redeemed on the cross and sends his Holy Spirit to achieve in His people. They all looked for God to do something that would reignite His creation purpose and give humanity that will to change all things forward to it.This podcast is about what that future has been from the beginning.
