I regret to hear of yet another gender and sex related scandal that is rocking our nation’s Military; this time, the Marines. As historically great as this formerly all male fighting unit has been, today, its vaunted ranks along with other combat components of the Military are being despoiled by the forced imposition of equality as defined by secular feminism, political correctness and tolerance. Supporters in rebellion against the divine order and biblical morality have been professed Christians at the highest levels of government including former Commander In Chief, Barrack Obama, as a matter of his social policies. Let me be clear, I in no way condone disrespecting or molesting women by men in the Military or otherwise!
However, as this edited 2012 blog repost foretells, such problems will persist in the Military because short of each Marine becoming born again believers in Jesus Christ with power through the Holy Spirit to exercise supernatural self-control as I write in this post, sinful males will be sinful males especially in a society that has ratified sexual promiscuity as normative. But even as Christian males and females in the Military culture it would still be difficult because it is the hormones as I painfully know from my own failures as a baby Christian and acknowledge in my book as well as see historically in those many failed, supposedly celibate priests along with the significant number of church pastors now addicted to porn. There is only one realistic solution as this blog declares.

Our Military has a sad, highly embarrassing and shameful problem with rape among its ranks. It was recently reported in the News that while there is no certain number, the Military itself estimates that up to 19,000 of its females may have been raped in recent years. Everyone is wringing their hands about what to do since punishing and drumming out of the Military the many guilty men will surely prove folly. There are two reasons why promiscuity, rape and let’s not forget a high number of pregnancies to boot will continue in our present day Military without a change: the healthy sex drive of sinful men and the presence of women in close proximity.
Contrary to recorded history where discipline was required and war was considered only for men out of their protecting role, women are permitted in today’s Military combat ranks out of a new gender equality and fairness quest. While that sounds good, testosterone driven men are not going to stagger (and in many cases are not permitted) off base to consort with the women or prostitutes from the neighboring cities, towns or villages when conveniently, females are their drinking buddies after a long day of combat. Do all of the education, make all of the penal threats to and punish as many men as you want to and even encourage religious practice. But as the Bible also insists, these (and manmade religion in particular) will be of “no value against the indulgence of the flesh,” (Colossians 2:20-23, NKJV).
There is one simple solution that will work for our Military and its rape problem. Admit we are not smarter than history on this point and remove women out of the combat mix. It is the height of arrogance to believe that men can be brought under control with a sex drive that has been designed by God and a fallen nature that must satisfy its lusts. Our society and Military should also admit we are not smarter than God. Women were never among Israel’s armies as combatants in the Bible. Too, Israel’s armies had God’s presence in the midst requiring their abstinence and provision for natural bodily function which resulted from the sex drive He chemically wired men with for purposes of procreation in marriage (Deuteronomy 23:9-11). Moreover, Christians have God’s power to help.
In my book, The Strong Man Of God: Back To Basics, I discuss in a relevant Chapter and Appendix the struggles men have with sexual purity and the power available through faith in Jesus Christ to be victorious (Romans 13:13-14; Galatians 5:16-17, 22-25; 1 John 5:4-5). Yes, I already know our secular society, Military and many professing Christians will not receive what I am saying. However, presenting the supremacy of God’s Word and salvation in the Gospel of Jesus Christ in tough problems like rape in the Military is exactly what we who know the truth are supposed to be doing. The Military can ignore me and whoever else stands up to proclaim God’s power in the Gospel, but their problem will not ever go away because history and God are smarter than they on the matter whether they admit it or not.
