The Bible opposes the use of witchcraft:
10 … one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, 11 or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. 12 For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God … (Deuteronomy 18:10-12)
Witchcraft should not be promoted.
Scripture also teaches:
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)
It is clear that the Bible 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 and that sins along this line should be celebrated.
In anticipation of the month of June, which the LGBTQ+ crowd calls ‘Pride Month,’ Target stores have been pushing a line of LGBTQ+ and Satanic and witch promoting clothing designs and got called out for it. Here are a couple of reports:
Women’s group rips Target for featuring pride items by Satanist designer: ‘Getting in bed with the devil’
May 27, 2023
A group of women are calling out Target for “getting in bed with the devil” after the company began selling tuck-friendly swimsuits in the women’s section and featuring pride items designed by an outspoken Satanist.
Target partnered with U.K.-based brand Abprallen to sell merchandise with pro-LGBTQ messages to celebrate Pride month. While the company was already under a microscope over its “tuck-friendly” swimsuits, some social media users were angered to discover that Abprallen’s designer Eric Carnell is also an outspoken Satanist whose brand features occult imagery and messages like “Satan respects pronouns” on brand apparel.
Carrie Prejean Boller, Brittany Mayer and Melissa O’Connor created their group, The Battle Cry, to fight against woke gender ideology they say is being pushed on children. …
“It looks like Target got in bed with the devil and if you don’t like that, it’s time now to get really loud,” Mayer told “Jesse Watters Primetime” on Tuesday. “Parents, pastors, consumers, they are making it pitifully obvious for you to see that we are in a war of good versus evil and your children are the target. So, if we want to win, it’s going to take all of us getting involved.” …
The group maintains the gender ideology push is a “cult” that must be fought against.
“We have been dealing with a gender ideology cult and now we are seeing this cult on full display in the name of pride,” Prejean Boller told “Jesse Watters Primetime” … https://www.foxnews.com/media/womens-group-rips-target-featuring-pride-items-satanist-designer-in-bed-devil
May 27, 2023
When a Target distributor reached out to Erik Carnell last year about possibly placing his brand, Abprallen, in Target stores, he was thrilled. …
By Wednesday, Target had pulled Abprallen items from its US stores and online market, Reuters reported. …
Carnell, who is trans, …
wanted to create Pride items that were more than “just a rainbow slapped haphazardly on a T-shirt.”
Abprallen sells shirts, elaborate pins and other accessories that juxtapose pastel blues, pinks and purples with skulls, skeletons and UFOs. The images are paired with a variety of phrases, like “Transphobia sucks” and “Gay icon.” Some are in direct conversation with specific incidents, like “Witches & wizards love trans people,” a response to Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling’s heavily criticized comments about trans people.
But one design sparked an uproar online.
Hate spreads online
The backlash against Carnell and Abprallen has largely centered around a design that says “Satan respects pronouns.” https://www.cnn.com/2023/05/27/business/target-pride-abprallen/index.html
Although Target claims it was removing some of the items, others have reported that they were simply moved to other parts of the store:
Target tries to hide ‘trans’ and LGBT ‘pride’ clothing for kids, but conservative videos expose the con
May 26, 2023 at 5:25 pm
Target is in big trouble for marketing “trans” clothing, swimwear and “pride” books to young kids, but its efforts to sidestep the controversy are being thwarted by grassroots video reporters who are exposing the retailer’s LGBT youth agenda in real time.
The department store chain has reported lost $9 billion in market value since calls for a boycott over the promotion of gender confusion began last week.
Amongst the most controversial items offered for sale in the name of LGBT “pride” are “tuck-friendly” underwear and swimsuits intended to help a man (or boy) hide his bulging genitalia to look more like a female (see “Trans Hub” tucking graphic below). That and Target’s “pride” clothing and books for very young children, even toddlers, has ignited charges that the corporation is helping to “groom” children for aberrant sexual and gender identities. …
Parts of the Target collection were created in partnership with “trans” designer Erik Carnell, whose references to Satan to push pro-trans themes quickly caught the attention of pro-family critics. A Washington Post article published Friday, though sympathetic to Carnell, probably will not do much to quell conservatives’ outrage, reporting: “A lavender, goat-headed medallion that reads ‘Satan respects pronouns’ is among [Carnell’s] most popular designs. A pin depicting a guillotine with the label ‘Homophobe Headrest’ might be the edgiest.” …
“Target confirmed that it has moved its Pride merchandise from the front of the stores to the back in some Southern stores after confrontations and backlash from shoppers in those areas,” PBS reported. …
Johnson and others, including Rep. Marjoria Taylor-Greene (R-Ga.) sent out a new, catchy music video created by MAGA Christian rappers “Trump’s Nephew,” about the store “targeting kids.” The song, called “Boycott Target,” by Forgiato Blow & Jimmy Levy, Nick Nittoli & Stoney Dudebro, has this refrain:
Target, Target, yeah, they’re targeting
Target, Target, yeah, they target kids …Christian conservative “Morgonn” sent out her own video, shot May 23 at a Target in Austin, Texas, focusing on the LGBT youth items:
#BoycottTarget here in Austin TX the section has been moved to the back but still just as disturbing pic.twitter.com/V6oIxIN33j

Target has long been a supporter of LGBTQ+ issues, but this time it looks to have had to pay some price for it. Note that the designer of the line has also put out a guillotine design for “homophobes”–which are those who people who will not support the LGBTQ+ agenda.
Despite some seeing Target partially caving in on some of this, do not believe that the LGBTQ+ agenda is going away.
Consider also the following prophecy for the last days:
1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (2 Timothy 3:1-4).
We are in “the last days.” We are in what Jesus referred to in Matthew 24:4-8 as the “beginning of sorrows.” The LGBTQ+ agenda is selfish (will be lovers of themselves), full of those who are “boasters, proud, blasphemers, … unholy, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,.”
Furthermore, it is certain not just places like Target. The USA now literally celebrates this (see VOA: Biden to Mark Transgender Day of Visibility With New Actions). We now have many who have been pushing to normalize perversion.
Notice some comments related to California Governor Gavin Newsom:
May 26, 2023
Target executives, embracing “woke” capitalism, were completely oblivious, or maybe just ignorant, to the “Bud Light moment.” After Bud Light pulled the plug on advertisements with transgender influencer Dylan Mulvaney because of damaging boycotts by conservative beer drinkers, the trans community launched a boycott of their own because the brewer abandoned Mulvaney. A similar situation is unfolding with Target as Democrats are furious with the retailer’s move to remove LGBTQ products from storefronts.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a diehard progressive, tweeted this week, “CEO of Target Brian Cornell selling out the LGBTQ+ community to extremists is a real profile in courage.”
Newsom appears furious with Cornell’s directive to a number of US stores to remove LGBT-themed products ahead of June Pride month. https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/did-governor-newsom-spark-target-boycott-among-liberals
Many do not care that the Bible teaches:
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)
The above applies to Governor Newsom’s recent comments.
The following is also applicable to what many have been doing:
9 The look on their countenance witnesses against them, And they declare their sin as Sodom; They do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have brought evil upon themselves. (Isaiah 3:9)
In Genesis 19:24-25, we read that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by God.
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)
Homosexuality, bisexuality, and lesbianism are forms of sexual immorality that involve going after “strange flesh.”
Notice that 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.
The prophet Ezekiel twice associates “pride” with Sodom (Ezekiel 16:49,56)–which is also something we see with the LGBTQ+ movement today–as well as in the entertainment industry.
Back in 2015, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
17:20
What is ‘transgender’? Is it being promoted by government leaders in the USA? Can you lose your job if you refuse to refer to a girl as a boy or federal funding if you do not treat a boy as if he is actually a girl? Have Jewish and Protestant leaders endorsed it? Is it false witness for pastors to teach against it? What does any of this have to do with the Kingdom of God? What does the Bible teach about cross-dressing or being effeminate? What should parents do? Is the transgender agenda dangerous?
Here is a link to our video: Transgender ‘Woe to those who call evil good’.
Related to children, the Continuing Church of God put together the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
Parents want their children to grow up to lead happy, healthy, and productive lives. Former US Congressman Ron Paul wrote that government schools have no business instructing young children in sexuality. The American Thinker asserted that schools are improperly trying to indoctrinate children in a way of ‘normalizing perversion.’ What does the Bible teach about instructing children? What does the Bible teach about having a perverse mouth or engaging in perversity? Does the Bible tie perversity in with abominations? What about things like cross dressing? What are the results of teaching or engaging in perversity? What about those that only approve them? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more.
Here is a link to our video: Do not indoctrinate children in perversion.
Christians are not to condone the LGBTQ+ agenda:
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, …
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 1:18,24-32)
Understand that the Bible also says to:
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)
So, we have continued to do that, where we can (John 9:4; Revelation 3:7-8).
That said, we all need to heed the words of Jesus in Matthew 6 and pray for God’s Kingdom to come.
