Why Are Superheroes So Popular?

The Romans used to worship all sorts of gods that they would collect from other nations. They especially liked the Greek gods. Why even today we see people spending millions at the box office for the Marvel and DC superhero films. In those films and comic books we see Greek and Norse gods coming back into popularity. So why are superheroes so popular?

 The world knows it needs a saviour. It wants a hero. It knows humanity needs a rescuer. But they don’t want Jesus. They don’t want only one way to God. They want to choose their favourite. One that suits them. Anyone who can fill the role of the deliverer. But they are not satisfied with Jesus. So they create their own or choose their own personal identity or something else. Superhero movies sell because people want to see good triumph over evil and justice prevail. They want a selfless hero who lays his life down for others and puts himself before others. Who extends mercy even to his enemy. They want someone they can respect. One who avenges the victimized, one who defends the weak and stands up to corruption. One who understands all of our pain and has compassion for the low at heart. But they are not satisfied with Jesus.

Well the thing is the Roman society, you are free to worship any god you like as long as Caesar is the one who you submit to above all. In the same way in our society, people believe that you can make up whatever god and believe in any god you want or any fact of reality you feel is true to you. The reason they reject as Jesus, at least the real Jesus, is because He demand is only to worship Him alone and all other gods are false. As long as the self is king then no one can reign on your parade. You can add on Jesus to anything. You can add Jesus to ask the other false gods and that’s fair. But don’t tell me (the king of my world) who is should worship. They grim reality is Jesus + anything = ruins everything. Jesus commands us to worship Him alone. There is no other God. There is no other way. He is the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father expect through Jesus Christ.

God Loves Gender

This is what I have to say about the rainbow club specifically the doctrine taught to children at public schools:

Identity is not found by pleasure. We have an identity that has been given to us and it blessings in time. There is an awakening of that at an appropriate time for when those responsibilities will be appropriately managed and sustained with the level of maturity that's appropriate for the child. We are not protecting children anymore if we're telling them to explore they're sexuality. They are learning about relationships and behaviours that aren't appropriate for their age. We want to provide for them and protect them and to nurture them. But we've already given the rights to a child to choose their sexual orientation and identity before they even understand what their bodies are going through. They're taught whatever their self expression is is their reality.

If someone said it doesn't harm anyone they are deeply wrong.

The next step on the agenda is consent. If consent is the only thing to legitimize sexual behaviour then what is to stop a pedophile to have sex with a child who consents or doesn't say anything? The argument now is if the person doesn't fight back then it legitimizes the act.

Let me help introduce you to the beautiful design that God has given sexual expression.

Gender is male and female. In the beginning God created them male and female.

Genesis 2:

18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” 19 Now out of the ground the Lord God had formed every beast of the field and every bird of the heavens and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called every living creature, that was its name. 20 The man gave names to all livestock and to the birds of the heavens and to every beast of the field. But for Adam there was not found a helper fit for him. 21 So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and while he slept took one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. 22 And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man. 23 Then the man said,

“This at last is bone of my bones

    and flesh of my flesh;

she shall be called Woman,

    because she was taken out of Man.”

24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. 25 And the man and his wife were both naked and were not ashamed.

As you can see God identified sex at the beginning. The two were naked together and not ashamed. This is an image of marriage. It is also an image of proper sexuality. They became one first together. The woman is the man's other half as you can see the woman was made out of the man. When the two are joined the marriage is concentrated. It is nature. It is the natural order. It is the only image of sex, which is between a man and a woman. God brought her to the man. No marriage that we choose to make ourselves be it man to man or woman to woman is not real. It is not a real marriage. The same God with his we choose to identify ourselves or express our sexuality. It is only fantasy unless it is in God's created order -- male and female.
