Government admits Christians could be charged over ‘transgender’ offenses
Recognizes threat but still brushes aside religious rights concerns
September 4, 2021 5:49 pm
A government action plan in Wales for its LGBT agenda now has admitted that it could involve the prosecution of Christians.
Christian Concern is reporting that the Welsh government’s impact assessment for its pro-transgender campaign had conceded it could hurt people.
“A proposal within the draft plan to ban conversation therapy practices may restrict religious freedoms and place faith leaders at risk of prosecution,” that government has admitted.
The dispute over “conversion therapy” has circled the world in recent years. In the United States several jurisdictions have banned it, while others have failed in their attempts. https://www.wnd.com/2021/09/government-admits-christians-charged-transgender-offenses/
The LGBTQ agenda false teaches that LGBTQ people cannot change, even as it touts other false ideas such as gender fluidity.
It is wrong to suggest that LGBTQ types cannot change? What if they want to?
Sadly, many no longer want to believe scriptures that show that homosexuals can change, like the following:
9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, 10 nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-11)
In the past couple of years, we have heard from many that we should, “follow the science.”
Yet many who say that do not follow the true science.
The Bible warns that false claims of science have negatively impacted professors of the faith:
20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called:
21 Which some professing have erred concerning the faith. Grace be with thee. Amen. (1 Timothy 6:20-21, KJV)
Many have been affected by false claims of science.
That being said, what is “woke”? Dictionary.com defines woke as follows:
adjective, Slang.(often used in the phrase stay woke)having or marked by an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those related to civil and human rights:
But the “woke” crowd often supports aspects of social injustice, racism, and violation of human rights. They do not tend to support religious rights and various individual rights.
Newsweek posted the following:
Will Liberal Hypocrisy Over Vaccine Mandates Wake up the Woke?
Sometimes it’s best to stand back and let a bad idea be crushed by its own weight. Such will hopefully be the case with the Left’s new equity agenda, which posits that any disparate impact on a community of color is necessarily the result of systemic oppression. But the demise of this idea may be brought about sooner rather than later by the sheer hypocrisy of those who believe it.
If those who believed in the equity mandate to fix outcomes actually believed what they espouse, surely they would be speaking up against New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio‘s vaccine mandate. The “Key to the City” mandate, which went into effect on August 17th, requires patrons of indoor venues such as restaurants and cultural institutions to show proof of COVID-19 vaccination. And it is Black New Yorkers who this policy is most adversely affecting.
Despite the mainstream narrative that only blockhead Trumpers refuse the vaccine, as of August 30, NYC.gov reports that a whopping 66 percent of Black residents have yet to be jabbed in NYC—a majority of the city’s unvaccinated population. This means that it is primarily Black people who are being shut out of an opening city. …
According to the anti-racist logic promulgated by Ibrahm X. Kendi, this policy is by definition racist. It certainly amounts to de facto segregation, except instead of separate drinking fountains and back-of-the-line decrees, minorities can’t drink or line up at all.
To make the hypocrisy even starker, the same people pushing for vaccine IDs are the ones arguing that it’s onerous for marginalized communities to make it to the DMV for a voter ID. If that were true, surely it would be equally onerous for members of those communities to make and keep a vaccine appointment. …
The Left’s insistence that Black and brown people have no agency, no knowledge of their rights and ultimately no intellectual capacity to sift through the complexities of the moment and take accountability for themselves, is the true definition of racism. 09/03/21 https://www.newsweek.com/will-liberal-hypocrisy-over-vaccine-mandates-wake-woke-opinion-1625048
The Wall Street Journal posted the following:
A Woke City Wakes Up
It’s no surprise that Americans are pushing back against woke school boards. What is surprising is that one of the most successful efforts is coming from Woke City itself—San Francisco. https://www.wsj.com/articles/a-woke-city-wakes-up-san-francisco-school-board-recall-11630621235
In general, the ‘woke’ crowd, which normally includes most of the media, asserts the following are not true:
- Life begins at conception.
- LGBTQ people can change their sexual orientation, and should be helped if they want it to change.
- People of all ethnic backgrounds can be hateful racists.
- Spontaneous generation of life is impossible.
- XX chromosomes make one a woman, whereas XY chromosomes make one a man.
- Heterosexual intercourse is normal.
- Acquired immunity to COVID is not inferior to vaccine immunity.
- If masks are required for citizens, than protesters and those who wish to enter the USA illegally should also wear them.
- Pornography harms society.
Yet, every statement above is accurate and ‘follows the science.’ (Yes, more statements could have been added, but the above helps make the point.)
Items 2 and 3 are demonstrated by historical facts (as well by personal experience–I have had roommates of African, Hispanic, and Asia ethnicity and can speak from experience on that). Christians are not to take the position that one race is better than the other. At least three times the Apostle Paul made that clear. Here is one of those times:
28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. (Galatians 3:28-29)
Item 8 just follows normal rules of logic.
Items 1, 4, 5, 6, and 7 are realized by all scientists who accept scientific facts.
All biologists realize that a new life starts at conception. And in the case of human beings, the new life is human. Consider that since the ovum will be discarded by a women’s body if not fertilized and all sperm cells from a man’s body die except the one(s) that fertilize, a new life does not start before conception. And because the fertilized egg does not change into a non-human, it does not become a human life after conception–it was one from conception.
Furthermore, notice a statement from Nobel Prize winner Dr. George Wald, from Harvard University related to the origin of life:
The reasonable view was to believe in spontaneous generation (life from nothing); the only alternative, to believe in a single, primary act of supernatural creation. There is no third position . . . One has only to contemplate the magnitude of this task to concede that the spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible. (Scott I. The God Solution: Are You Ready? Xlibris Corporation, 2013, p. 41)
Believing something that is impossible is not scientific. Thus, the acceptance of a supernatural creation (Genesis 1) is the only scientific option according to statements like the above.
The woke crowd claims it is for human rights and follows science, but obviously that is not so.
Jesus stated that God made humans male and female (Matthew 19:4), which is consistent with the biological fact that in over 99.99% of the cases, 100% of the chromosomes of a woman are XX and 100% of the chromosomes of a man are XY. Surgeries, hormone injections, and feelings do not change the scientific facts.
The Bible teaches that murder (item 1), sexual immorality (items 2 & 9), and hateful racism (item 3) are evil (cf. Romans 1:18-32, Deuteronomy 30:15-16; Isaiah 5:20).
The Bible warns:
2 You shall not follow a crowd to do evil; (Exodus 23:2)
Woke-type people were prophesied for these days:
12 There is a generation that is pure in its own eyes,
Yet is not washed from its filthiness.
13 There is a generation — oh, how lofty are their eyes!
And their eyelids are lifted up. (Proverbs 30:12-13)1 But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, … boasters, proud, blasphemers, … unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 … headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! 6 For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, 7 always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. (2 Timothy 3:1-8)
Consider now that both the Old Testament (Psalm 119:160) and New Testament (John 17:17) teach:
Your word is truth.
The woke, including much of the media, seemingly despise the moral teachings of the word of God. This rejection of truth will not end well:
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you despise this word,
And trust in oppression and perversity,
And rely on them,
13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you
Like a breach ready to fall,
A bulge in a high wall,
Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
14 And He shall break it like the breaking of the potter’s vessel,
Which is broken in pieces;
He shall not spare.
So there shall not be found among its fragments
A shard to take fire from the hearth,
Or to take water from the cistern.” (Isaiah 30:12-14)
Destruction is coming to the USA–as well as its British-descended allies–and it will be worse than most people will believe.
Accepting the woke agenda is also an insult to truth and science.

Woke: Follow the True Science
What is being ‘woke’ supposed to mean? Do the woke have ”an active awareness of systemic injustices and prejudices, especially those related to civil and human rights” or are they perhaps hypocrites as an article in Newsweek suggested? What about religious rights? What about science? Are the following, which are held by much of the non-woke, scientifically/factually true: 1. Life begins at conception. 2. LGBTQ people can change their sexual orientation, and should be helped if they want it to change. 3. People of all ethnic backgrounds can be hateful racists. 4. Spontaneous generation of life is impossible. 5. XX chromosomes make one a woman, whereas XY chromosomes make one a man. 6. Heterosexual intercourse is normal. 7. Acquired immunity to COVID is not inferior to vaccine immunity. 8. If masks are required for citizens, than protesters and those who wish to enter the USA illegally should also wear them. 9. Pornography harms society. Is the Bible true? Could the woke generation been warned about in scripture? Should you join a crowd in evil? Dr. Thiel addresses these issues and more in this video.

COVID 19 is NOT the End, but could it be TEOTWAWKI? The novel coronavirus called COVID-19 is wreaking havoc around the world. Many states of the USA as well as countries in Europe are on lockdown with shelter in place /shelter in residence requirements. In France, a form is required when you are not at your house.

Italy, France, and other areas are using police and/or military force to encourage people to stay inside. According to the Bible could this be the end? If not, what has to happen first? Have the second and third of the four horsemen of the Apocalypse started their ride? Could COVID-19 be the fourth horseman? Why or why not?
