To call life, marriage, family, manhood, womanhood, religious liberty, and natural law “adiaphora” is to drain that word entirely of its meaning. Adiaphora are matters neither commanded nor forbidden by God. In other words, God did not say you must drive a car. Therefore, how you choose to travel to work is adiaphora. That said, as a category, adiaphora collapses the moment God has spoken. And God has spoken about male and female, husband and wife, father and mother, justice and authority, conscience and confession, creation and the sanctity of life. A Christian misled into thinking these topics are adiaphora is just as dangerous as the ones who reduce them to politics. In fact, they may be even more dangerous, if only because they’re justifying Christian silence with theology. When the world is catechizing our children on the meaning of the body, the family, and the truth itself, anyone teaching Christians to shrug and call it Christian freedom should be marked and avoided.
