Let us begin by examining what Rushdoony has to say on Psychology and Assurance.

“This primacy of psychology and experience generates a rebellion against the “chains” of laws and institutions which would fetter the freedom to experience. The priority of experientialism means that sexuality and the free experience of every form of sexuality is more important than marriage and the law.” Institutes of Biblical Law, Vol II, p. 329

I would draw your attention to the dreaded “repression” of sexual freedom by biblical law and marriage. As we have pointed out elsewhere, a biblical concept of marriage would include polygyny, and so what happens is that biblical concepts of marriage and commitment are being weighed against, and found lacking, when compared to modern psychology’s concept of sexual fulfillment. The two certainly do not mix.

And so what we have found recently, within the rather crude and base content of commentators ramblings, is quite similar, in that they indicate their primary consideration to be that of sexual fulfillment. To them, to carnal man, the law of YHWH is made void, and the word of God insufficient when compared to the “higher” concepts of what is, in reality, simply fallen human reasoning. Indeed, they are ignorant of the law of YHWH, and like it that way best. They want pleasure, and will take as much of that as they can get.
