Justifying the Use of Natural Law in Sexuality and Therapy

OK, time to explain why and how I use general revelation and Natural Law in my explanation of sexuality and psychotherapy. Certain Christians argue that the world is too fallen for people to perceive the truth. They argue that people can know the truth and change in their sexual feelings and behavior only if they become born-again believers. But I say that despite the Fall, God preserved the integrity of the created world enough, particularly our sexuality, so that it continues to fulfill its purpose as a sign to him and the Gospel. Therefore, I use the logic of the body and insights from general revelation to reason with non-Christians and counsel both Christians and non-Christians struggling with their sexuality.Show more
