Where Are We Going and Where Have We Been?
By Peter Jones, Truthxchange. (Prof Jones shows how todays ‘alternate’ sexuality has a pagan spiritual basis)
The cultural conflict is no longer simply political. The economic value of socialism or capitalism is no longer the debate separating citizens. It is, rather, what our children are learning, whether in non-Christian state schools or even in some Christian schools, about their sexuality, their family life and the theological issues that determine ultimate meaning.
The Sixties was a key moment for Western culture. It might be hard to imagine, but when I was growing up as a lad in working-class Liverpool, England, and even when I became a young man in the Fifties, I had never even heard the word “homosexual.” If, by some chance, that word came up at one time, I would not have known what it meant. Then came the Sixties, when deviant sexuality exploded into the public square and now “alternate” sex is seen as normative.

From Where Do These Perversions Come?
I have developed a line of investigation in a long article, “Androgyny: The Pagan Sexual
Ideal,”[14] in which I cite a number of important sources. This history is crucial for understanding the theological and spiritual implications of homosexuality for the thinking of today’s church and culture.
To understand how we go there, we must travel back into the past, where we find that the priests associated with the worship of the goddess Ishtar from the Sumerian age (1800 BC) flaunted their androgyny.[15] Their condition was due to their “devotion to the goddess Ishtar who herself had ‘transformed their masculinity into femininity.’”[16] They functioned as feminized men and as occult shamans, with their divine‑demonic ability to transgress boundaries.”[17] They celebrated no boundaries, that is, no binaries. So, you see that the “non-binary,” as we say today, was already a powerful, spiritual notion, denying the existence of the binary, separating creation from the God the Creator, which was the ultimate function of these pagan shamans.
