There is no new thing under the sun

“Today people no longer recognize the category of the moral. Modern men and women say, “We have a new morality.” But that is simply a repetition of what the devil has suggested before. He puts an idea back into some cupboard and brings out another one, and everybody forgets the old idea. He lets a century or two pass, then brings the first one out again. “Brand-new!” people say. “A new morality.” But it is as old as Adam in its sinfulness! Nothing new at all, nothing original in any sense whatsoever. All perversions and all foulness are described in the Bible as well as in the pages of secular history.

For many centuries the Bible has told us, “There is no new thing under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 1:9), and there certainly is not. All the arguments against Christianity, against this faith and way of life, have been put forward many times.”
