Value in Christ vs. Intersectionality
Intersectionality, as an analytical tool, posits that the more oppression one faces, the more compromised their ability to speak and have a voice. This worldview, rooted in secular beliefs, places emphasis on having a voice in the world as a basis of personhood. In contrast, Christianity teaches that one's value lies in being saved by Christ's sacrifice, adopted, justified, sanctified, and belonging to Him. The Christian perspective focuses on progressive sanctification rather than empowerment and having a voice in secular terms. The clash between these views is evident in movements like the gay Christian movement, which emphasizes the need for a voice but fails to address the core need for sanctification in Christ.
