On Eve’s Bite

“The Trojans wondered why the great Wooden Horse had been left behind. And there were some who considered that it had been left there as an offering to the goddess, Pallas Athene, and they thought it should be brought within the city. Others were wiser and would have left the Wooden Horse alone. But those who considered that it should be brought within prevailed; and, as the Horse was too great to bring through the gate, they flung down Part of the wall that they might bring it through. The Wooden Horse was brought within the walls and left upon the streets of the city and the darkness of the night fell.”
So goes the story of “the Trojan Horse”, as told by Homer in his Odyssey. It is also with this quote that Ian Wishart begins the prologue to his book, Eve’s Bite. The book is subtitled, Seductive, Deceptive and Dangerous: the Trojan Horse ideologies poisoning our country and destroying the West. Some of the diverse subjects that the book deals with include Radical Islam, Darwinism, Marxism, Eugenics, Atheism, Feminism, Homosexuality, Birth Control, Abortion, Sexually Transmitted Disease, Euthanasia and Political Correctness in Education. The connection between all of these is that we are being subtlety conditioned to accept the thought patterns that lie behind each of these ideas — and those thought patterns and the actions that flow from them are destroying Western Civilization. Certainly, they are destroying the kind of Western Civilisation that has it mooring in the Judeao – Christian worldview.
Christians are by no means immune to the influence of these anti-God ideologies. Unfortunately many in the church are being captured by these soul destroying “-isms”. This is despite Paul’s warning: “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ” (Col. 2:8).
Elsewhere, Paul urged, “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” (Rom. 12:2). The antidote to the poison that is killing our society is a full knowledge of the Word of God. We need to know not only what it says about heaven and hell but also what it says about Darwinism, Marxism, Eugenics, Feminism, Homosexuality, Birth Control and Abortion. There is no room for intellectual laziness in God’s church!
