What is the de facto biggest issue in the history of mankind since about 5 generations after Adam and Eve...?? its sex..and all things to do with beautiful women.
And now the Epstein case wallows in it again. 5000 years roughly of lust. So since this is the biggest deal in life..??? so we should agree as mankind exactly what is the age of consent,Epstein story etc... No joke. I think a 16 year old girl can ethically be with a guy up to 22 years old. No dating before that .And anyone over 40 should not be with any girl younger than 25 years.And that's about it for rules. Maturity and taste vary tremendously. So what do you think..?

You make an interesting connection between the days of Lot and today. I think there may be some truth to this based simply on the fallen nature of humankind.

It seems inevitable that if a society rejects God that they will eventually decend into such ideology which involves sexual perversion of some sort. Which includes the perversion of Gods natural order of things.

I think the west in particular has gradually moved away from God as the biblical norm for which society and nation were based on. While at the same time replacing this with a human created ideology. Whatever that may be.

But as this is rejecting God like in all other cultures in will diverge away from Gods law and order and this is what I think we are seeing. Of course there will be an alternative idea about what is moral which is presented as a cover to hide the truth of their sin and they will get away with it for the most part because those also lost cannot decern the difference superficially.

But the old saying 'you can fool some of the people some of the times but not all of the people all of the time' is coming true. The longer the corruption is allowed to fester the more it comes out. As the the truth always comes out in the end.

But still some or perhaps many will still be fooled because in the end this is about a belief. A fundemental belief about how the world and reality itself is ordered. Whether we are gods of our own world or that there is a God we are accountable to and that Christ is the way, truth and life to God.

satan worship, even (or especially worse) by religious leaders. thus many many false teachers and doctrines and teachings have insidiously been put into so-called Christianity and grown unhindered tremendously , tricking billions of souls to their destruction....

Misuse of sex has certainly plagued mankind since the days of Lot, but do you really believe that the problem is solved simply by imposing the age limits you suggest? Don't men in their 20s ever rape or abuse women in their 20s?
