‘Medford trans community and allies protest church’s anti-LGBTQ message’
(Public Domain Pictures)
A church in Massachusetts drew the ire of the LGBTQ+ crowd and their allies for putting up a scripture from the Book of Genesis as well as a short comment:
Medford trans community and allies protest church’s anti-LGBTQ message
A few dozen of us gathered in Medford Square early Friday evening to protest an anti-LGBTQ sign across the street at the New England Baptist Church. The sign reads: “Male and Female He Created Them. Gen. 5:2. Gender Identity Solved.”
No one was demanding that the church remove the message, which is protected by the First Amendment. But members of the trans community and their allies wanted to let them know that their views weren’t welcome. https://dankennedy.net/2021/07/24/medford-trans-community-and-allies-protest-churchs-anti-lgbtq-message/
Notice that the above writer said that the view of the Bible from the Book of Genesis was not welcome.
Further, notice that Jesus referred to what Genesis taught:
6 But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’ (Mark 10:6)
Jesus’ views are not wanted by many in Medford or elsewhere.
Here is more related to this Medford protest:
I’m at Medford Square across the street from the New England Baptist Chruch where a protest is taking place against the church. Those rallying are out here for trans rights, and some of the folks I’ve spoken to have said that this church has spewed hateful rhetoric, etc. pic.twitter.com/8LKYPUkgcg

New England Baptist Church Pastor Joseph Hawkins told WBZ he doesn’t believe they are preaching hate or violence.
“This is a message of God’s truth and us trying to reveal it to our community,” he said. “It’s almost hypocritical that they can present their world view and we can’t.” https://www.boston.com/news/politics/2021/07/25/medford-protect-church-gender-identity-sign/?utm_source=wnd&utm_medium=wnd&utm_campaign=syndicated
God gave instructions to the first human beings, as well as intervened with others as we can see in books of the Bible, beginning with Genesis. That is NOT hateful rhetoric.
More and more are opposing the Bible–and pushing the view that quoting and teaching aspects of it amounts to “hate,” despite the fact that God is love (1 John 4:18,16). The advocates of sexual immorality do not wish to be told that their lifestyles are condemned as abominations in scripture.
Many in Canada do not want to tolerate portions of the Bible being publicly quoted. Back in 2017, the Continuing Church of God put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel:
15:57
In 2017, Lauri Skori of the Battle River School board told a religious school in Alberta, Canada that it could not teach/read certain portions of the Bible. In 2002, a court in Canada ruled against one who referred to certain scriptures that some homosexuals objected to. In 2017, there was “An Act to Amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and Criminal Code” related to those who wish to be considered transgendered. Government officials in Canada and elsewhere have been ruling against the Bible. Is any of this prophesied? Will this get worse? What was the prophet Amos inspired to write?
Here is a link to our video: Canadian censoring of the Bible.
Because the Bible teaches that people can change and stop being sexually immoral, some felt that a proposed California bill against ‘conversion therapy’ literature could result in banning the Bible. In 2018, the Continuing Church of God (CCOG) put out the following video on our Bible News Prophecy YouTube channel related to that:
Could we see a ban of the Holy Bible in North America? Have there been partial bans proposed and enforced by government officials in Canada? Do any USA politicians consider any biblical teachings as fraudulent and hence banning them is NOT a violation of the 1st amendment to the Constitution of the USA? Are there risks associated with AB 2943? Have politicians like Hillary Clinton and California Assemblyman Al Muratsuchi called for long-held religious beliefs to change and “evolve with the times”? What about Jude 1:3 and 2 Timothy 3:14? Are there biblical prophecies about not being able to hear the word of God? Might we see more restrictions on explaining teachings of the Bible on the Internet and other forms of media? What are some of the verses that various government people do not want made public? Dr. Thiel provides facts on these issues and more.

And now, of course, there is Big Tech.
YouTube banned one of our biblical anti-sexual immorality videos this year.
Sadly, we look to only be in the first stages of this prophesied censorship.
That being said, remember that Jesus said:
16 Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents and harmless as doves. 17 But beware of men, (Matthew 10:16-17a)
4 I must work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day; the night is coming when no one can work. (John 9:4)
Because of His admonitions, we have not trusted YouTube, that is a reason we use other channels, like BitChute and Brighteon. Both of which have the censored video up. Here is a link to the BitChute channel:
Disney’s abominable promotions!
Is Disney promoting abominations? According to the Bible it most certainly is. In addition to “Out” which is focused about a homosexual male and “Onward” which also condoned homosexuality, it is a big promoter of “Pride Month.” So, much so that on June 27, 2021, Disney+ intends to stream “This is Me: Pride Celebration Spectacular” hosted by “Nina West” that stage name of Andrew Levitt, who was born male but now dresses and performs as a female–contrary to scriptures like Deuteronomy 22:5. Is Disney inviting the wrath of God? Were pride, sexual immorality, and going after “strange flesh” reasons that Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed? What should parents and children do? What does the Bible teach? Dr. Thiel discusses and addresses these issues with scriptures and other information.
THIS VIDEO WAS REMOVED BY YOUTUBE AS IT DOES NOT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT IMMORALITY AND THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN.
Here is a link to the YouTube removed video, from our BitChute Prophecy channel: Disney’s abominable promotions!
Now, the anti-biblical ones are going after BitChute as well (see ‘Now the EU is going after video platforms like BitChute that refuse to censor content critical of LGBTQ and Black Lives Matter propaganda’).
It should be pointed out that it is not just for pointing out sexual immorality that many want to ban the Bible and/or not hear its view.
Several weeks ago, an article published in Scientific American asserted:
Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy
July 5, 2021
The global scientific community overwhelmingly accepts that all living humans are of African descent. Most scientific articles about our African origins focus on genetics. The part of the story that is not widely shared is about the creation of human culture. We are all descended genetically, and also culturally, from dark-skinned ancestors. Early humans from the African continent are the ones who first invented tools; the use of fire; language; and religion. …
I want to unmask the lie that evolution denial is about religion and recognize that at its core, it is a form of white supremacy that perpetuates segregation and violence against Black bodies. Under the guise of “religious freedom,” the legalistic wing of creationists loudly insists that their point of view deserves equal time in the classroom. Science education in the U.S. is constantly on the defensive against antievolution activists who want biblical stories to be taught as fact. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/denial-of-evolution-is-a-form-of-white-supremacy/
The above author took a couple of swipes against the Book of Genesis as well in that article.
Acceptance of evolution is a denial of science.
While biblical stories and accounts are fact (for some proof, see the free online books Is God’s Existence Logical? and Proof Jesus is the Messiah), evolution as the origin of life most certainly is not. It goes against science.
Related to that, we put together the following related video:
Is Believing in Creation Racist?
Scientific American published an article titled, “Denial of Evolution Is a Form of White Supremacy.” Is that true? Does this article seem to be part of an effort to push people away from the Bible? Is evolution scientific or impossible? Did a Noble prize winner admit that ” spontaneous generation of a living organism is impossible”? Are the biblical stories factual? Can you prove Creation vs. evolution? Are there proofs of Creation and that Jesus is the Messiah that people can check out? Are there warnings in the Bible about those who despise His word? Dr. Thiel goes over these matters and more.
Here is a link to our video: Is Believing in Creation Racist?
More and more we are seeing various ones protest aspects of the Bible.
They do not want the Book of Genesis to be believed nor do they want to hear scriptures in the Old and New Testaments that condemn sinful behavior.
The Bible warns against the type of moral decline that is occurring in the U.S.A.:
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. (Isaiah 30:12-13)
This will not end well.
The prophet Amos further warned:
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” says the Lord God,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread,
Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 They shall wander from sea to sea,
And from north to east;
They shall run to and fro, seeking the word of the Lord,
But shall not find it. (Amos 8:11-12)
Notice that the Bible tells of a time that will come when the word of God will not be found. I do not believe that this means that there will be no more Bibles–but preaching aspects of it will be made illegal and that those wanting to better understand it will have trouble finding explanations.
The Medford protests were just a very small example of the opposition we are seeing, to the Bible, as it rises up and becomes more public.

There are scriptures, writings in the Talmud, early Christian teachings that support this. Also, even certain Hindu writings support it.
