Cross-dressing and other assaults against your children.  What should you do?

By COGwriter

Is there an agenda to turn your children and/or grandchildren away from biblical morality and towards practices promoted by homosexuals? When I penned that statement in 2013, many were not sure.

But now it is obvious to pretty much anyone who is paying attention.

What does the Bible teach about cross-dressing? What does the Bible call homosexual acts? What about 'cross-dressing'? Are lesbian acts condemned in the Bible? What should you do? What should parents do?

What about so-called "gender-affirming" surgeries and treatments?

If there is an agenda, what has been going on? This article will provide answers to these questions (There are also three YouTube videos related to this, titled Transgender 'Woe to those who call evil good' and Cross dressing and Other Assaults Against Your Children and USA pushing gender confusion). 

Cross-dressing "Gender-Bender Day"

Back on May 24, 2013, an elementary school in Milwaukee, Wisconsin had a day they initially referred to as "Gender Bender Day":

Last Friday’s cross-dressing day at a Milwaukee elementary school proved contentious.

The school-sponsored event was one of the theme days during school spirit week at Tippecanoe School for the Arts and Humanities. While the themes for each of the other days were sufficiently milquetoast, Gender Bender Day — as it was originally named — raised a few parental eyebrows.

Members of the school’s student council chose the transvestite theme, reports WITI-TV. The idea was straightforward: boys were encouraged to dress like girls and girls were encouraged to dress like boys.

Deidri Hernandez, the mother a second-grader at Tippecanoe, found out about the plan and complained to the principal, reports EAGnews.org. School officials allegedly responded by saying that the school’s actions were not illegal. At the same time, officials also opted to change the themed day’s name to “Switch It Up Day.”

“I didn’t have a problem with the title. I had a problem with the activity taking place,” Hernandez told EAGnews. In her view, the notion of sponsoring a cross-dressing day at a grade school is “ridiculous” and “creepy.”

“They might as well call it ‘Transgender Day,’” the irate mother opined...

School board member Terrence Falk suggested that the complaining parents are trying to play politics with a harmless themed day..http://news.yahoo.com/school-sponsored-cross-dressing-day-elementary-school-causes-121822822.html

While cross-dressing in schools may not be ‘illegal,’ it certainly violates biblical standards of morality.“Cross-dressing” is condemned as an abomination in the Bible:

5 A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman’s garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God. (Deuteronomy 22:5)

The Bible clearly condemns cross-dressing. It does not consider it to be harmless like school board member Falk claimed.

The Bible clearly condemns cross-dressing. The Bible also condemns males acting effeminate:

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10, KJV)

Cross-dressing is not something that children (or adults) should be doing.

The Bible says Christians can change from such behaviours:

11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:11, KJV)

5 Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. 6 Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. 9 Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. (Colossians 3:5-10, NIV)

But in this age, many who claim to be Christians, do not believe that they (or others) can change.

Transgender Discrimination?

On June 24, 2013, a civil rights panel in the USA is claiming that restricting a boy from regularly using the toilet for girls was discriminatory’ (the boy is referred to as a ‘transgender girl’ below):

A Colorado primary school discriminated against a six-year-old transgender girl by barring her from using the girls’ toilets, a civil rights panel has said.

The panel in the US state of Colorado said Coy Mathis’ school ignored her gender identity and created an environment “rife with harassment”…a spokeswoman for the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies said the district could seek arbitration or a public trial.

While she had always expressed a preference for things associated with girls, Coy became depressed and withdrawn if forced to wear boys’ clothes or referred to as a boy in school, her family said.  http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-23040500

(CNN) — A transgender first-grader who was born a boy but identifies as a girl has won the right to use the girls’ restroom at her Colorado school…This is the first of it’s kind ruling in the country regarding the rights of transgender students. No court, no tribunal has ever said what the Colorado Division of Civil Rights has said today which is that trangendered students must be treated equally…experts say some children who look like they will be transgender in early childhood turn out to be gay, lesbian or bisexual.

These children are not intersex — they do not have a physical disorder or malformation of their sexual organs. The gender issue exists in the brain… http://www.cnn.com/2013/06/24/us/colorado-transgender-girl-school/

Notice also the following:

March 7, 2015

A Michigan woman’s Planet Fitness membership was revoked after she complained about a transgender person in the women’s locker room.

Yvette Cormier, a 48, said she was walking into the Midland Planet Fitness locker room last Saturday when she saw someone “dressed like a man.”

The person was wearing a wig and “a little bit of blush,” but was “huge” and appeared “very manly,” Cormier told ABC News today.

“I just stopped right there in my tracks,” she said. “It was a man for sure.”

Cormier, who had been a Planet Fitness member for two months, said she went to the front desk immediately. The man at the desk told her that Planet Fitness policy is “whatever gender you feel you are, that’s the locker room you’re allowed to go in,” she said.

“And then he said, ‘We’ve had lots of complaints about him but we told him to go change in a stall,’” Cormier said.

“He said, ‘if you’re uncomfortable with that you can wait until he’s done in there,’” she said. “I stood back and said, ‘How about he waits until I’m done in the women’s locker room. Or get a unisex bathroom.’ He asked if I would like to talk to the manager and I said, ‘I’m calling corporate.’” …

“I wouldn’t have signed up for this gym if I knew that ahead of time,” Cormier said, adding that the gym is “failing to protect me if anything happens in those locker rooms with a man.”

She said she went back to the gym the next few days and “told everyone in the locker room what happened.” She said everyone she talked to “was appalled.”

On Thursday, Cormier said, Planet Fitness Corporate called and revoked her membership immediately.

“They said, ‘You are talking to people about him in the women’s locker room. You are making people upset.’ That’s my whole point,” she said. “I’m telling them and warning them because you are not doing that. You allow men in there, and we are appalled by it.”

Planet Fitness Director of Public Relations McCall Gosselin said the gym is “committed to creating a non-intimidating, welcoming environment for our members. Our gender identity non-discrimination policy states that members and guests may use all gym facilities based on their sincere self-reported gender identity.”

The statement continued, “The manner in which this member expressed her concerns about the policy exhibited behavior that management at the Midland club deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members, which is a violation of the membership agreement and as a result her membership was cancelled.”

Gosselin added, “As our statement outlines, her membership was not cancelled as a result of complaints about our policy, as we welcome all feedback from our members. Rather, it was the manner in which her concerns were expressed that club management felt was inappropriate, which resulted in the cancellation.” http://abcnews.go.com/Health/planet-fitness-revokes-womans-membership-transgender-complaint/story?id=29465983

March 7, 2015

A Michigan Planet Fitness canceled a woman’s membership after she campaigned to get a transgender person, whom she described as “a man,” booted from the women’s locker room.

“The manner in which this member expressed her concerns about the policy exhibited behavior that management at the Midland club deemed inappropriate and disruptive to other members,” said a statement from the Planet Fitness gym in Midland County, Mich.

The gym called the woman’s actions a “violation of the membership agreement” and the chain’s policy of a “no judgment zone.”http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/mar/7/planet-fitness-mich-revokes-womans-membership-over/#ixzz3TnujhWnZ

This is the type of decision the ‘founding fathers’ of the USA would have vomited against. A woman should be entitled to be able to change in her clothes in a locker room without being subject to being watched by a man. But, because she utilizes her freedom of speech, she is condemned as being ‘judgmental’ and booted from the fitness club.

Now, in Planet Fitness’ defense, it probably felt that its policy was the only way to not violate current and expected anti-discrimination laws, regulations, and statues.  And that may well be. But the decision was still wrong.

I recall hearing that part of the reason for the 9/11 disaster was that the legal office of one of the airlines told the employees that they had to allow on the plane the terrorists, despite the perceived security threat, as the airline was afraid of being sued for discrimination.

For those unfamiliar, here is how Wikipedia defines being “transgendered” (viewed 06/24/13):

Transgender is the state of one’s gender identity (self-identification as woman, man, neither or both) not matching one’s assigned sex (identification by others as male, female or intersex based on physical/genetic sex)

Of course, the Bible condemns cross-dressing and other aspects of being ‘transgendered.’

Notice the lack of tolerance towards people concerned and/or confused about this:

November 6, 2015

Daycare workers fired for refusing transgender demands

2 male parents insisted daughter, 6, be called boy

Two daycare workers in Texas – one of whom is the author of a Christian book – were fired after they refused to refer to a six-year-old girl in their care as a boy.

The demand came from the girl’s two male parents, Breitbart reported. The dads also demanded the girl, whose hair was cut short like a boy’s, also be called by a masculine name.

Madeline Kirksey, who has penned a book for the Christian crowd, told Breitbart she was most concerned about confusing the little girl by calling her “John,” which was not the name given at her birth, and by referring to her as a boy. Kirksey and another worker at the Childrens’ Lighthouse Learning Center in Katy, Texas, were fired, Breitbart said. …

The fired worker who asked to remain anonymous actually contacted Child Protective Services about the dads’ treatment of the little girl.  http://www.wnd.com/2015/11/daycare-workers-fired-for-refusing-transgender-demands/#FQrteMiMgFXri12e.99

So, you can be fired for not calling a girl a boy! Child Protective Services should have removed the girl from her homosexual parents, but it no longer seems to consider this child abuse--which trying to make a girl a boy most certainly is. It should also be made clear that there is no such thing as two same-sex parents in actuality, nor is one a different gender than their actual genitalia.

Cross-dressing is not something that children or adults should be doing. It also affects others, but the ‘civil rights’ of others was not properly considered (or why the reasons for having separate toilets in the first place).

There are various problems with various leaders, and the Bible warns:

20 Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!

21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own sight!  (Isaiah 5:20-21)

More problems are coming to the world as more and more accepts positions wanted by the homosexuals and the effeminate. Yet, various ones in the government within the USA want to do that.

Being transgender is not good, and seems to increase the risk of violent behaviour:

December 28, 2019

The transsexual movement's driving myth is that there is an epidemic of murders targeting them for their stated "identities." The controlled press in America and the UK has been the main culprit in building this fictitious narrative, constantly reminding us that 24 trannies were killed in 2019, as if their lives are more special than the 17-18,000 victims of homicide every year. 

What the propagandists omit is that individuals identifying as transgender are not only less likely to be victims of murder than biological women (and far less than men), their small population is well represented among murderers, serial killers and pedophiles.  

The Human Rights Campaign, which meticulously tracks transgender deaths across the country, is conspicuously not tracking them when they commit crimes. But in the UK, analysts found that during the period of 2007-2017, transsexuals were 58% more likely to commit a murder than be murdered. ...

Simple math shows that transgenders are less likely to be murdered than normal people. 

According to FBI crime statistics, Americans are victims of homicide at a rate of about 5 per 100,000. For men, the number is 6.6 per 100,000 and for women, 1.8. 

According to gay activist groups, 24 transgenders have been killed in 2019 out of a population of 1.4 million , making their homicide rate 1.7 out of 100,000 - less likely to be killed than the average woman. https://russia-insider.com/en/transgenders-are-58-more-likely-commit-murder-be-murdered/ri28099

Consider the truths in the following:

June 10, 2016

“War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.”

This was the slogan of George Orwell’s fictional English Socialist Party (INGSOC) of Oceania, from his timeless dystopian novel “1984.”

Orwell depicted a mind-control technique employed by INGSOC called “doublethink,” which “describes the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.”

If the malleable masses could be made to believe self-contradictory, patently absurd and empirically impossible concepts as true, went Orwell’s thesis, they could then be made to believe, or do, anything.

We have entered an age that George Orwell might never have imagined. Today’s “American Socialist Party” (the secular left) has applied the doublethink mind-control technique on a grand scale.

Its slogan?

“Male is Female; Female is Male; Evil is good.”

Indeed, not only do secular leftists like Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton stubbornly maintain that objective morality be treated as relative – that evil is good and good evil; they now demand that the immutable laws of physics and biology be similarly repealed.

There are things true and things untrue. It is true, for instance, that water is composed of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen (H20). No amount of wishful thinking, angry foot-stomping, or even a tyrannical presidential edict issued to America’s public school chemistry classes can change this unchangeable reality.

It is likewise true that a person born with XX chromosomes is, and shall always be, female, while a person born with distinct X and Y chromosomes is forever male. Again, no amount of self-delusion, gnashing of teeth, cross-dressing, genital mutilation surgery, or utterly bizarre presidential doublethink dictates can alter this unalterable fact.

While we would call a person who subjectively insists that water is comprised of pure hydrogen either ignorant or insane, we incongruously call the person who similarly insists that a man can somehow “transition” to a woman, “progressive.” http://www.wnd.com/2016/06/indecent-exposure-the-gender-identity-agenda/#1AERBIIbR7R1WYZV.99

Yet, the LGBTQ promoters care not for the truth on these matters, but to push an agenda that is evil.

Notice what the USA's first legally 'non-binary' person had to say:

December 31, 2019

This month, the first person to obtain a legal "non-binary" sex designation has successfully petitioned the court originally responsible for his "non-binary" status to order that the sex on his birth certificate be restored to "male." In documents exclusively provided to PJ Media, James Shupe's petition described his "non-binary" designation as a "psychologically harmful legal fiction." He told PJ Media he hopes this decision will prevent a woman currently seeking "non-binary" recognition from following the same lies.

"The charade of not being male, the legal fiction, it's over," James Shupe told PJ Media on Tuesday. "The lies behind my fictitious sex changes, something I shamefully participated in, first to female, and then to non-binary, have been forever exposed. A truthful accounting of events has replaced the deceit that allowed me to become America's first legally non-binary person."

"The legal record has now been corrected and LGBT advocates are no longer able to use my historic non-binary court order to advance their toxic agenda," he added. "I am and have always been male. That is my biological truth, the only thing capable of grounding me to reality."

While he became a hero for the transgender movement, Shupe now aims to dispel the lies of gender identity and reverse the harm caused by the precedent of his "non-binary" legal designation.

He referenced the case of Jones David Hollister, a woman who identifies as non-binary and is currently fighting to change her legal designation to non-binary. Hollister's brief to the Oregon Court of Appeals cites Shupe's case.

"I hope that Hollister and all the others are denied the right to change their sex to non-binary because it's fraud and legal fiction based on pseudoscience," Shupe said. "I was indoctrinated to believe that I had this thing called a gender identity and that suppressing it was causing my mental health problems. It was all a lie."

He said he had embraced the lie of transgender identity as a crutch while struggling with deep psychological issues that would have been better addressed by therapy.

"I ended up in the psych ward three times because of hormones. I had blood clots in my eyes because my estrogen levels were 2,585 instead of 200, low bone density, problems controlling my bladder, and emotional instability," Shupe said. "Blood tests indicated I was dropping into kidney disease territory (EFGR below 60) for about 18 months, I had chronic dermatology issues and skin reactions to estrogen patches, I passed out on the kitchen floor from Spironolactone." https://pjmedia.com/trending/ex-trans-man-reverses-non-binary-sex-designation-in-blow-to-lgbt-movement/

The transgender agenda is not good.

Other Agenda Factors Affect US Education

In 2009, then US President Barack Obama appointed Kevin Jennings to be an education official. Notice a report from 2009:

President Barack Obama has nominated homosexual propagandist Kevin Jennings to be the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Education in charge of the “Safe and Drug-Free Schools” program. Aside from overseeing drug education programs, the term “safe” also means making public schools “safe” for alleged homosexual children; translated, this means Jennings’s position will be used to produce and disseminate pro-homosexual propaganda to America’s public schools...

Who is Jennings? He’s the founder and, until recently, the President of the Gay, Lesbian, Straight Education Network (GLSEN), the nation’s leading homosexual pressure group working to insert homosexual propaganda into America’s public schools. GLSEN’s budget is in the millions and they are the driving force behind the formation of over 4000 homosexual clubs on our colleges, high schools and even middle schools. Most of these clubs were formed by homosexual faculty members trained by GLSEN.

But this appointment shouldn’t surprise anyone. Obama has supported the homosexual agenda his entire political career. Indeed, within 24 hours of winning the presidency, his website posted the most aggressive pro-homosexual agenda of any president in American history. http://www.westernjournalism.com/exclusive-investigative-reports/obama-appoints-homosexual-propogandist-to-education/

Kevin Jennings held that job for 2 years. Since that time, Barack Obama turned against the Defense of Marriage Act and then openly advocates homosexual marriage, etc. (e.g. Obama, Supreme Court, and homosexual ‘marriage’).

Furthermore, at CalPoly, San Luis Obispo, its LGBTQIA Faculty Staff Association received a grant in 2013 to support a series of roundtable discussion of a book titled "How to Be Gay" as well as for it to host presentations on homosexuality (CAL POLY. The Tribune, San Luis Obispo, May 30, 2103, p. B1).

Much associated with the homosexual agenda is an abomination to God:

22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.  (Leviticus 18:22)

13 If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. (Leviticus 20:13)

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10…shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10b, KJV)

Notice that encouraging cross-gender behavior such as being effeminate (Note: the expression "abusers of themselves with mankind" is a reference to homosexual behavior).

Sports and Showers

Under the Obama Administration, the United States Department of Education ordered a school district in Illinois to allow a boy to be able to shower with girls:

Transgender Children's 'Entertainment'

While encouraging various males to be effeminate seems the desire of at least part of the entertainment industry, did you know that there is now to be a children’s program that features a ‘super-hero’ who transforms himself into a girl?

Nothing says “child-appropriate material” quite like gender-bending underage superheroes. At least that’s the theory over at the Hub, the network co-owned by Discovery and Hasbro, which is trotting out its latest soon-to-be-dud, SheZow. That show follows the adventures of a 12-year-old boy named Guy who uses a magic ring to transform himself into a crime-fighting girl. Yes, you read that correctly...

The chief executive of the Hub...is Margaret Loesch. Loesch commented, “When I first heard about the show, my reaction was ‘Are you out of your minds?’ Then I looked at it and I thought, ‘This is just funny.’”

The target audience for the Hub is children aged two to eleven.  http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Hollywood/2013/05/28/Children-network-transsexual-superhero

Just funny? So, the world’s media is trying to reorient and confuse gender roles for children as young as age two.

In Romans 1:18-32, the Apostle Paul condemns many forms of immorality including lesbianism and homosexuality.  But he also condemns those who simply just approve it:

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man — and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them. (Romans 1:18-32)

There is an assault against children and biblical morality Yet, many approve of it.

Disney Promotes Homosexuality

Jews, Protestants, and Joe Biden Support the Transgender Movement

While people who claim to believe the Bible should condemn the transgender movement, various Jews and Protestants want to support it.

Notice something from a Jewish group:

November 5, 2015

The largest Jewish group in North America adopted a broad transgender rights policy on Thursday, not only stating its own commitment to equality, but also urging synagogues and other Jewish groups to be advocates for transgender rights and to take steps like training their staffs on accommodating transgender people.

“We have a longstanding commitment to bringing in people who have heretofore been on the margins of society,” said Rabbi Rick Jacobs, the president of the Union for Reform Judaism. “For us, this is not just political correctness, but opening possibilities theologically.” http://www.nytimes.com/2015/11/06/us/union-for-reform-judaism-adopts-transgender-rights-policy.html

Opening possibilities theologically?

The Hebrew scriptures that the Jews claim to believe teach the following, and the following are Jewish translations into English:

5 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto the LORD thy God. (Deuteronomy 22:5, JPS Tanakh 1917)

20 Woe unto them that call evil good, And good evil; That change darkness into light, And light into darkness; That change bitter into sweet, And sweet into bitter! (Isaiah 5:20, JPS Tanakh 1917)

27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. (Genesis 1:27, JPS Tanakh 1917)

Theologically, the Bible condemns cross-dressing and the transgender agenda.

It is not just Jews who are having theological issues, notice this from a Protestant:

When pastors bear false witness against transgender people

November 6, 2015

by Morgan Guyton ...

Pastors in Houston preached sermons and organized a massive campaign against transgender people. They invested hundreds of volunteers and hundreds of hours of time advocating in favor of discrimination. Instead of building the kingdom of God. How is that Christian discipleship? How does that exude the spirit of Christ in any sense? How is that evangelistic? Now, more and more people living in Houston have yet another reason not to give Jesus a chance. The equal rights ordinance actually had a religious exemption incorporated into it. Steve Wells, the current pastor of South Main Baptist Church where I grew up in Houston, observed that “though he believed some of the behaviors protected by the ordinance were sinful, the law would not keep him from believing that.” But this didn’t stop other pastors from lusting after that need to feel “persecuted” by persecuting others.

This is why we Christians are the people from whom Jesus needs to save the world the most. All slanderers will have to answer to God.  ...

About Morgan Guyton

I’m the director of the NOLA Wesley Foundation, which is the United Methodist campus ministry at Tulane and Loyola University in New Orleans, LA.  http://www.patheos.com/blogs/mercynotsacrifice/2015/11/06/when-pastors-bear-false-witness-against-transgender-people/

All will answer to God and be judged for their words (Matthew 12:39) and works (Revelation 20:12.  And pastors should point out sin (cf. Isaiah 58:1) and not promote it (Jude 4-8). The Gospel of the Kingdom of God explains how that living according to God's ways are best for humanity--it is not good to stay in a transgendered state of mind.

As far as 'religious protections' are concerned, they are becoming more limited: expect those to erode and criticism of transgenderism to be hate speech and/or discriminatory.

Consider that God made humans male and female--and Jesus also taught that:

27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. (Genesis 1:27)

6 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ (Mark 10:6)

Nowhere in the Bible is any human considered to be any sex/gendere other than male and female. And those who act otherwise are warned against (Deuteronomy 22:5; 1 Corinthians 6:10-12; Romans 1:18-32). One is not a different gender than their actual genitalia at birth.

But now many in the world, including many in USA, have their own, antibiblical ideas. Yet:

33 God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33)

The transgender agenda encourages and exploits confusion. It is NOT good for those who consider themselves transgendered.

US President, Roman Catholic Joe Biden supports transgenderism as well as mutilating children:

Biden to Mark Transgender Day of Visibility With New Actions

March 31, 2022

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden is commemorating Transgender Day of Visibility by celebrating prominent transgender Americans and advocating against what his administration terms “dangerous anti-transgender legislative attacks” that have passed in statehouses across the country.

Biden on Thursday is announcing new measures aimed at making the federal government more inclusive for transgender people, including a new “X” gender marker on U.S. passport applications beginning on April 11 and new Transportation Security Administration scanners that are gender-neutral.

The Democratic president’s administration is working to expand the availability of the “X” gender marker to airlines and federal travel programs and will make it easier for transgender people to change their gender information in Social Security Administration records.

Visitors to the White House will soon also be able to select an “X” gender marker option in the White House Worker and Visitor Entry System, which is used to conduct screening background checks for visitors to the executive mansion.

“Transgender Americans continue to face discrimination, harassment, and barriers to opportunity,” Biden wrote in a proclamation marking the day. “In the past year, hundreds of anti-transgender bills in States were proposed across America, most of them targeting transgender kids. The onslaught has continued this year. These bills are wrong.” https://www.voanews.com/a/biden-to-mark-transgender-day-of-visibility-with-new-actions-/6509167.html

March 13, 2023

President Joe Biden spoke with gay man and former White House staff member in the Obama era, Kal Penn, where he admitted that he thought restricting kids from getting their private parts mutilated was “sinful.” ...

Penn also asked about the transgender population, specifically transgender youth who are dealing with, so-called “regressive state laws.”

“Transgender kids is a really harder thing,” he began. “What’s going on in Florida is, as my mother would say, close to sinful. I mean it's terrible what they're doing.”

In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis is spearheading laws that would prohibit kids from receiving dangerous surgeries and drugs to change their gender. DeSantis recognizes that there are two genders and that children are not mature enough to make such life altering decisions. While his laws are evidence of him looking out for children's best interests, the left is twisting it into an anti-LGBTQ campaign by the Republican Governor. 

Obviously Biden is not a fan of such a move. "It’s not like a kid wakes up one morning and says, ‘You know, I decided I want to become a man' or 'I want to become a woman' or 'I want to change.' What are they thinking about here? They are human beings. They love. They have feelings. They have inclinations that are... It just, to me, is, I don’t know is, it's cruel,” the president said in the clip.

Well, he was right that kids don’t wake up and just choose to be a different gender. More often than not, they are conditioned or indoctrinated into believing that is their reality. Whether it’s their teachers who shove LGBTQ propaganda to them in schools or parents who agree to let their kids live a delusion, Biden is failing to recognize that kids don’t know better. Kids trust adults and if adults tell them that getting life altering surgery is good, then they’ll do it. https://newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/tierin-rose-mandelburg/2023/03/13/biden-calls-it-sinful-not-mutilate-trans-kids

The promotion of mutilating surgeries to children is not good.

Attacking the Opposition

Those identifying as transgendered have been found to have more mental health problems than others.

A scientific study in Iran found mental issues with the transgendered:

Abstract

Background: Co-morbid psychiatric disorders affect prognosis, psychosocial adjustment and post-surgery satisfaction in patients with gender identity disorder. In this paper, we assessed the frequency of personality disorders in Iranian GID patients.

Methods: Seventy- three patients requesting sex reassignment surgery (SRS) were recruited for this crosssectional study. Of the participants, 57.5% were biologically male and 42.5% were biologically female. They were assessed through the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory II (MCMI- II).

Results: The frequency of personality disorders was 81.4%. The most frequent personality disorder was narcissistic personality disorder (57.1%) and the least was borderline personality disorder. The average number of diagnoses was 3.00 per patient.

Conclusion: The findings of this study revealed that the prevalence of personality disorders was higher among the participants, and the most frequent personality disorder was narcissistic personality disorder (57.1%), and borderline personality disorder was less common among the studied patients. … Personality disorders are common in patients with Gender Identity Disorder who are candidates for sex reassignment. As a result, the assessment of Personality disorders before sex reassignment surgery and offering psychological and medical intervention care, if needed, is strongly suggested. The results of this study also indicated that Borderline personality disorder is not necessarily the most comorbid personality disorder in patients with Gender Identity Disorder. . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4301205/

LGBTQs target top psychiatrist for debunking gender myths

May 17, 2017

The Human Rights Campaign, one of the leading U.S. pro-homosexual/transgender organizations, is tired of getting debunked by a world-renowned psychiatrist and medical doctor and has decided to fight back with an online campaign to paint their opponent as a peddler of “junk science.”

HRC has launched an online attack called “McHugh Exposed” at its website.

“For years, Paul McHugh has used his platform as a psychiatrist affiliated with Johns Hopkins University to peddle myths about transgender people – not just in his writings, but in courtrooms and state legislatures across the country,” HRC complains. “While he has no expertise in gender or sexuality, McHugh has publicly called transgender people ‘caricatures’ and described them as ‘confused’ and ‘mad.’ ...

In his May 2016 Wall Street Journal article, titled “Transgender Surgery isn’t the Solution,” McHugh exploded the so-called “consensus,” writing that those identifying as transgenders do not suffer some incurable medical condition and that, further, undergoing sexual-reassignment surgery does not “change men to women or vice versa.”

“The transgendered suffer a disorder of ‘assumption’ like those in other disorders familiar to psychiatrists,” McHugh continued. “With the transgendered, the disordered assumption is that the individual differs from what seems given in nature – namely one’s maleness or femaleness. Other kinds of disordered assumptions are held by those who suffer from anorexia and bulimia nervosa, where the assumption that departs from physical reality is the belief by the dangerously thin that they are overweight.”

McHugh noted the results of Swedish research showing a 20-fold increase in the suicide death rate above the comparable non-transgender population for those having sex-reassignment surgery.

WND reported last year the results of a study conducted by McHugh and statistician Lawrence S. Mayer debunking the “born that way” theory that attempts explain gender identity as something innate and independent of biological sex. Of particular concern to McHugh was the trend of parents declaring their child transgendered and subjecting the child to hormone treatments, behavioral adjustments and even surgery.

Children who express any identification of the opposite gender almost always leave those expressions behind as they grow, the scholars argued.

“Despite the scientific uncertainty, drastic interventions are prescribed and delivered to patients identifying, or identified, as transgender. This is especially troubling when the patients receiving these interventions are children,” the authors wrote in the study, “Sexuality and Gender: Findings from the Biological, Psychological, and Social Sciences,” published in The New Atlantis. http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/lgbtqs-target-top-psychiatrist-for-debunking-gender-myths/

Those pushing the LGBTQ agenda want to silence the religious who raise moral objections as well as the scientists who raise other objections to them. The LGBTQ crowd wants to censor much of the truth.

Studies Oppose 'Gender Affirming' Treatments

Many, governmental, academic, and medical leaders have pushed so-called gender affirming treatments.

This is s a perversion of the English language, because what they mean it treatment to go against one's biology.

New transgender study shows painful, long-lasting side effects of sex-change surgeries

July 28, 2023

A new study on the side effects of transgender sex change surgeries has revealed, once again, that we are currently in the midst of the greatest medical scandal of the past several centuries. Conducted by researchers at the University of Florida and the health non-profit Brooks Rehabilitation, the study found that 81% of those who had undergone sex change surgeries in the past five years reported experiencing pain simply from normal movement in the weeks and months that followed — and that many other side effects are manifesting themselves as well.

This comes as no surprise to those of us who have been listening to the testimony of both de-transitioners such as Chloe Cole as well as others who have gone under the knife such as Scott Newgent (who described horrifying post-op experiences on my podcast recently). Dr. Meryl Alappattu, a physiotherapy professor at the University of Florida, spoke about her provisional findings in a private online workshop reported on by the Daily Mail. The full report will be released later in 2023, and the reported findings are horrifying. The study found that those who got sex change surgeries experienced bladder problems, pain during intercourse, and other significant issues. …

That those who go on cross-sex hormones and puberty blockers at a young age are likely to be incapable of experiencing “any sort of sexual pleasure as an adult,” as well as eliminating natural fertility. https://www.lifesitenews.com/blogs/new-transgender-study-shows-painful-long-lasting-side-effects-of-sex-change-surgeries/?utm_source=top_news&utm_campaign=usa

Let me add that I read reports of males who had their genitals removed and replaced with constructed vaginas and were surprised and disappointed that their libido was basically gone. Well, history has shown that castration does that, so that is something all should have known for a very long time.

New Study Debunks “Trans” Theory: “Transitioning” Kids Does NOT Save Lives

February 24, 2024

“Would you rather have a living son or dead daughter?” This question, often asked marketing-style of parents whose child desires so-called gender reassignment procedures, is not just unethical, says the leader of a groundbreaking new study on sexually confused youths.

It is also, says psychiatrist Dr. Riittakerttu Kaltiala, “not based on facts.”

For in reality, administering sexual-distortion treatments (SDTs, aka “gender-reassignment” treatments) does not lower sexually confused youths’ suicide rate.

This is not just because you can’t actually changes sexes, but only become a simulacrum of the opposite one. It’s also because any tendency toward suicide — and sexually confused youths’ suicide rate is only marginally higher than that of average-age mates — is caused by their having psychiatric issues, and not necessarily their sexual confusion, per se.

Making these findings even more compelling is that Dr. Kaltiala actually helped pioneer Made-up Sexual Status (MUSS, aka “transgender”) “medicine” in Finland, but looked at its results and finally concluded that such treatments were not beneficial.

Website Gender Clinic News reports on new study:

The landmark research from Finland, an international leader in the shift away from medicalised gender change, found that suicide risk in a large group of adolescents was predicted by the psychiatric problems that often accompany gender distress, not by the gender distress itself.

Dramatic claims of the risk of attempted suicide among trans-identifying youth are typically based on low-quality anonymous online self-report surveys with no follow-up checks, potential exaggeration driven by a constant “transition or suicide” narrative, and “convenience samples” unlikely to be representative.

The new Finnish study vindicates that country’s 2020 adoption of a more cautious treatment policy which first targets psychiatric, social and educational problems among gender-distressed youth before any assumption of a stable trans identity justifying “experimental” affirmation with hormones or surgery.

“It is of utmost importance to identify and appropriately treat mental disorders in adolescents experiencing gender dysphoria to prevent suicide; in addition, health policies need to ensure that accurate information is provided to professionals along these lines,” the researchers say in their BMJ Mental Health paper.

As for the underlying “psychiatric problems” factor with MUSS youths, alarms about it have been sounded before. Consider ex-MUSS clinic worker and whistleblower Jamie Reed, who describes herself as a “queer” woman married to a “transman” and “politically to the left of Bernie Sanders.”

“The girls who came to us [at the clinic] had many comorbidities: depression, anxiety, ADHD, eating disorders, obesity,” she wrote last year at The Free Press. “Many were diagnosed with autism, or had autism-like symptoms. A report last year on a British pediatric transgender center found that about one-third of the patients referred there were on the autism spectrum.” https://thenewamerican.com/us/culture/new-study-debunks-trans-theory-transitioning-kids-does-not-save-lives/

Mutilating children and adults is not good. Notice also:

April 2, 2024

Rates of attempted suicide who identified as transgender more than doubledafter receiving a vaginoplasty (surgically turning one's dick into a vagina), according to a peer-reviewed study published in The Journal of Urology.

The study looked at rates of psychiatric emergencies both before and after gender-altering surgery among 869 males who went under the knife, and 357 females who underwent phalloplasty (turning one's vagina into a dick) in California between 2012 and 2018. ...

According to the study, 33.9% of biological males undergoing vaginopasty would experience a post-surgery psychiatric encounter vs. 26.5% for biological women who underwent phalloplasty, if an episode had occurred before surgery.

That's a lot. ...

Suicide Rate 19-Fold Higher

In an interview with The Epoch Times, Dr. Alfonso Oliva, a board-certified plastic and reconstructive surgeon, said research into the psychiatric outcomes and long-term follow-up of those who have sex-reassignment surgery is lacking, but an important paper is worth mentioning. In a 2011 paper published in PLOS ONE, researchers found that people who underwent sex reassignment surgery had substantially higher rates of overall mortality, suicidal behavior, and psychiatric morbidity compared with the general population.

“It’s hard to refute this paper because it’s a longitudinal study,” Dr. Oliva said. “In Sweden, everyone is in a database, and through diagnosis codes, they’re able to follow what happens to every citizen in terms of their medical history. They waited more than 10 years after people had surgery and found that death by suicide had an adjusted hazard ratio of 19.1.” ...

overy process is extensive and vaginal dilation must be performed at varying intervals throughout the patient’s life.

Vaginoplasty Associated With Serious Risks

In addition to an increased risk of suicide, vaginoplasty is associated with numerous physical complications, including wound separation, vaginal stenosis, hematoma, rectovaginal fistulas, granulation tissue, bleeding, infection, skin or clitoral necrosis, suture line dehiscence (when the surgical incision opens), urinary retention or vaginal prolapse.

According to a 2021 paper in the International Brazilian Journal of Urology, a rectovaginal fistula is the “most devastating complication” of a vaginoplasty that can occur “despite careful technique” and without obvious injury to the rectum.

A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina that can cause fecal incontinence, hygiene issues, vaginal or anal irritation, and potentially life-threatening abscesses and fistula recurrence.

A 2021 review in Andrology found that rates of complications following penile inversion vaginoplasty ranged from 20 to 70 percent, with most of the complications occurring during the first four months following the procedure. ...

Dr. Oliva said complications with these surgical procedures are very high and he thinks this is why suicide rates are so high.

“People think this is going to solve the problem and it doesn’t,” he said. https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/attempted-suicide-rates-more-double-after-gender-reassignment-surgery-study

Science and the Bible oppose this type of mutilating surgery.

YouTube temporarily suspended our account after we put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to transgender surgeries:

The Genetic Truth, the Brain Truth

Notice the following absurdity:

“It’s not possible to know a person’s gender identity at birth, and there is no consensus criteria for assigning sex at birth,” CNN’s Devan Cole wrote. https://nypost.com/2021/04/01/cnn-ridiculed-for-saying-no-consensus-for-assigning-sex-at-birth/

Actually, yes it is possible. And there has been a consensus for thousands of years by billions of people to assign sex at birth.

Notice the following from LiveScience.com:

How sex is determined

Humans have an additional pair of sex chromosomes for a total of 46 chromosomes. The sex chromosomes are referred to as X and Y, and their combination determines a person's sex. Typically, human females have two X chromosomes while males possess an XY pairing. This XY sex-determination system is found in most mammals as well as some reptiles and plants.

Whether a person has XX or XY chromosomes is determined when a sperm fertilizes an egg. Unlike the body's other cells, the cells in the egg and sperm — called gametes or sex cells — possess only one chromosome. Gametes are produced by meiosis cell division, which results in the divided cells having half the number of chromosomes as the parent, or progenitor, cells. In the case of humans, this means that parent cells have two chromosomes and gametes have one.

All of the gametes in the mother's eggs possess X chromosomes. The father's sperm contains about half X and half Y chromosomes. The sperm are the variable factor in determining the sex of the baby. If the sperm carries an X chromosome, it will combine with the egg's X chromosome to form a female zygote. If the sperm carries a Y chromosome, it will result in a male. accessed 04/30/21 https://www.livescience.com/27248-chromosomes.html

The LGBTQ crowd pushes not only transgenderism, but the idea that gender is fluid. The idea that you can be something one day, then another gender another day.

Yet, men and women are different. While one of the differences is genitalia, there are more differences than that. But one's chromosomes never change.

Notice also the following:

4 May 2017

Researchers have revealed a breakthrough is how the sexes really differ from each other.

A groundbreaking genetic study pinponted 6500 genes that differ between men and women.

Experts say it could have a profound effect in the way we identify and treat everything from disease to fertility. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-4475252/There-6-500-genetic-differences-men-women.html#ixzz4l2KCqvLW

May 7, 2017

A biological male can take hormones, surgically alter his body and identify as “female,” but the procedures still won’t make him a woman, according to new evidence found by Israeli researchers.

That’s because there are at least 6,500 genes that contain sex-specific instructions for males and females.

For the study by Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science, professor Shmuel Pietrokovski and Dr. Moran Gershoni, both researchers from the institute’s Molecular Genetics Department, “looked closely at around 20,000 protein-coding genes, sorting them by sex and searching for differences in expression in each tissue. They eventually identified around 6,500 genes with activity that was biased toward one sex or the other in at least one tissue, adding to the already major biological differences between men and women.” ...

The new findings are further evidence that biological males cannot simply “transition” into females and vice versa, argues Mat Staver, founder and chairman of Liberty Counsel.

“This recent study from Israel’s Weizmann Institute of Science further proves that you cannot fool Mother Nature,” Staver said. “The saying, ‘I think, therefore, I am’ is best left to philosophy and not science. Gender confusion is mental, not physical or biological. God made male and female, and no amount of protestation will change the natural created order.”

Staver called the idea that a person can choose his or her gender “fiction.”

“These Israeli scientists identified over 6,500 genes with activity that was biased toward one sex or the other in at least one tissue,” he said. “That clearly validates the genetic differences between men and women.” http://www.wnd.com/2017/05/study-more-proof-a-man-can-never-become-a-woman/

Another difference between males and females has to do with the brain.

Proof that girls and boys are born to be different: Controversial study finds that brain differences between the sexes begin in the womb

25 March 2019

In a scientific first, researchers claim to have found that differences between men’s and women’s brains start in the womb.

The conclusion is likely to be controversial, with some experts claiming social influences are more important.

But scientists who did brain scans of 118 foetuses in the second half of pregnancy to analyse the links between gender and the connectivity of a developing brain believe the differences are biological. …

According to the US study, published in the journal Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, female brains growing in the uterus produced ‘long-range’ networks.

Professor Thomason said this was less true of boys, who were ‘more susceptible to environmental influences’. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-6845991/Controversial-study-finds-brain-differences-sexes-begin-womb.html

While I do not think that this is necessarily “a scientific first” (as others noted brain development differences between male and female brains in utero), it is at least additional proof that boys and girls are biologically different in a way that is not clearly visually seen.

Since this study involved the unborn, it also helps negate the false narrative that 'gender' is not biological, but the result of societal environmental factors.

Of course, many 'moderns' want to act like there is no difference, but the Bible is clear that men and women are different. God warned that there would be those "who suppress the truth in unrighteousness" (Romans 1:18). But the truth is still the truth.

Books, Boy Scouts, and Biblical History

Back in March of 2013, it was announced that the State of California would introduce more homosexuality-themed books on its recommended reading list for students from kindergarten to 12th grade:

The California Department of Education’s recently released Recommended Reading list for students in grades K-12 has received heightened media attention this week for its inclusion of so-called “gay literature.” http://www.nydailynews.com/blogs/pageviews/2013/03/california-to-introduce-more-gay-themed-books-into-school-curriculum-unsurprisingl

And it is not just California nor government educational organizations that are doing such things.

The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is an organization intended to help boys from age 10 ½-18 learn skills and be “morally straight.”

Yet on May 24, 2013, the BSA organization decided to allow openly homosexual boy scouts (see BSA makes the move to allow homosexual scouts).  While some have objected to this, their voices are drowned out by the prevailing media attitude which is in favor of the homosexual agenda.

Did you know that in California, it is the law to teach homosexual history? This was signed in back in 2011:

Democratic California Gov. Jerry Brown said Thursday he had signed a bill that will require public schools in the state to teach students about the contributions of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender Americans. http://www.cnn.com/2011/US/07/14/california.lgbt.education/index.html

As far as homosexuals and history, let's look at some passages in the Bible about that:

24 Then the Lord rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord out of the heavens. 25 So He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground. (Genesis 19:24-25)

And why did it happen?

7 as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these, having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. (Jude 7)

Why mention this in the 21st century?

Because God turned:

6…the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes, condemned them to destruction, making them an example to those who afterward would live ungodly (2 Peter 2:6)

Thus, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah were to serve as an example to those who would live as they did.

Yet despite biblical warnings, many modern leaders are endorsing so-called homosexual "rights" and "same-sex marriage."

Ba’al-ifornia

Notice something related to the State of California that Joseph Farah reported:

Another day in Ba’al-ifornia

September 14, 2017

I’ll never forget the day I stepped into the state Capitol in Sacramento for the first time. …

A lot of bad things happen in that place – and it’s getting worse all the time.

Let me give you a few examples:

• SB 179: “Change Your Gender Bill” – This bill completely changes the meaning of the words “male” and “female,” from a physical description of anatomical reality, to a description of feelings and self-identification. It also officially creates a third gender, “non-binary,” for those who don’t want to identity exclusively as either sex. The bill make it easier to change the gender listed on their driver’s licenses or birth certificates to one of three options, by simply filling out a form.
• SB 310: “Gender Changes for Inmates” – This bill will make it easier for inmates to change names and gender while in jail or prison. Currently, a gender change while in jail must be approved by correctional facility officials. This bill would leave the decision up to a disinterested judge. Opponents believe this will lead to more men changing their sex identity to female so they can be incarcerated with women.
• SB 396: “Gender Identity Sensitivity Training” – Businesses with over 50 employees will be required to provide at least two hours of training and education regarding harassment based on gender identity, gender expression and sexual orientation. The bill analysis states that the state Fair Employment and Housing Council issued new regulations in July of 2017 regarding discrimination based on gender identity: “These regulations address key topics such as the rights of employees to use restrooms, locker rooms, and other similar facilities corresponding to their gender identity; to dress in accord with their gender identity and expression; and to be addressed by their preferred name and gender pronoun.”
• SB 219: “LGBT Rights in Long-term Care Facilities” – This bill will impose fines and jail time on any long-term care center worker whose patients identifying as transgender aren’t referred to by their preferred gender pronoun. (The gender pronoun list could contain as many as 50 options.) The bill also mandates that gender be determined by self-identification, not biology. There are no exemptions for religious institutions.
• AB 569: “Prohibits Pro-Life Codes of Conduct” – This bill specifically outlaws employer codes of conduct that respect the rights of employees to oppose abortion, sex outside of marriage, or contraception, and exposes them to devastating and expensive lawsuits. This includes all churches, religiously affiliated schools, and pro-life nonprofits. There is a very narrow exemption for ministers.

I now realize it is impossible to explain California politics any other way than this – Ba’al worship. …

Ba’al worship is at the root of all this insanity you see taking place in California and the way a former Judeo-Christian culture is being corrupted, toppled and replaced by old-fashioned paganism. …

But the thing that really never struck me before about Ba’al worship was its near total focus on challenging the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob with abominations all too familiar to 21st century America:

• child sacrifice;
• an assault on gender roles;
• war on marriage.

Sound familiar? 09/14/17 http://www.wnd.com/2017/09/another-day-in-baal-ifornia/

Ancient pagan priests used to employ various tricks to get people to believe that their idols talked to them, healed them, prophesied for them, or took various actions that seemed impossible for inanimate objects.

Now political leaders in California want people to believe a lie.

And more than one lie.

One’s gender is a biological matter. It is not a matter of human choice.

Even those who get their bodies mutilated and genitalia apparently changed, still have to take artificial hormones, etc. in order to maintain their chosen gender.

The Bible warns about leaders who will not accept the truth:

12…Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths. (Isaiah 3:12)

16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).

Therefore it should be clear that, leaders who ignore what the Bible teaches are leading others toward destruction.

So what should you do. Well, one of the first things is to pray:

1 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. (1 Timothy 2:1-3)

People are also to be understand what the Bible teaches. Notice what Jesus said:

26 And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: 27 They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; 29 but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. (Luke 17:26-29)

In scriptures such as Jeremiah 50:38-40, Lamentations 4:6-20, and Amos 4:7-12 there are warnings that what happened to Sodom and Gomorrah will also happen in the end times (see also the article The Bible Condemns Homosexuality).

What Should Parents Do?

So, what should parents do?

Parents should teach their children the word of God and press the importance of biblical morality. Teach them the truth. Notice the following:

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.  6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)

6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs 22:6)

Parents should also warn their children of the consequences of the immoral agenda that is being foisted off in the USA and other parts of the world.

The sexual immoral agenda will end in destruction.

Cross-dressing, BSA acceptance of open homosexuals, 'transgender' rights, indoctrination classes on homosexuality, certain worldly entertainment, etc. contribute to turning children and adults away from biblical morality.

Parents need to turn their hearts and time to their children and the Bible says that they need to be told to do so.  Here are some verses in Malachi:

4 “Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.  5 “See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction.”  (Malachi 4:4-6, NIV).

While the trend in society is to go the wrong way, children need to be taught the right way.  This way they can turn their hearts to their parents and not towards an immoral and destructive direction.

Because of speech 'laws' and actions, the time will more and more come when the following is fulfilled:

13 Therefore the prudent keep silent at that time, For it is an evil time. (Amos 5:13)

Until then, however, we in the Continuing Church of God are striving to fulfill the following:

1 "Cry aloud, spare not; Lift up your voice like a trumpet; Tell My people their transgression, And the house of Jacob their sins. (Isaiah 58:1)

The transgender agenda is sinful and it promotes abomination.  This agenda is another one of the sins of the 'house of Jacob,' which includes the USA (see Anglo – America in Prophecy & the Lost Tribes of Israel).  This will not end well for the USA (Romans 1:32; Daniel 11:39).

The Great Tribulation and Day of the Lord is coming. And while some diligent Christians (the few Philadelphians) will be protected from it (Revelation 3:10).  Most people will be alive when it begins, including Christians (Revelation 12:17) will have to experience it (Revelation 3:10; Matthew 24:21).

The time to teach YOUR children diligently is now.  If you want more information we also have a video at the BNP channel titled Five Rules for Effective Parenting, as well as other materials at www.cogwriter.com

The biblically immoral have an agenda that involves your children and/or grandchildren.  Tell your children what the Bible teaches.
