Wheat And Tares - The Lie of LGBTQ Starts With A Question
If you know me, you know that I LOVE unity and can't stand it when Christian leaders call out by name those they think are heretics when the issue they're arguing is very gray and a matter of preference or interpretation.
THIS IS NOT THE CASE
Andy Stanley of North Point in Georgia is hosting the Unconditional Conference “for parents of LGBTQ+ children and for ministry leaders looking to discover ways to support parents and LGBTQ+ children in their churches.”
Stanley will be speaking alongside:
Justin Lee, professing Christian, "married" to another man.
Brian Nietzel, professing Christian, "married" to another man.
David Gushee, prominent Christian theologian who argues the orthodox Christian church (and Bible) is wrong on the issue of same-sex relationships.
Greg and Linda McDonald, parents of an "LGBTQ child" who promote the heretical Matthew Vines book, "God and the Gay Christian: The Biblical Case in Support of Same-Sex Relationships."
Romans 1:26-27 makes it clear what God thinks about same-sex and transgender choices alongside many other scriptures.
Christians have been obligated and pressured to first accept, then affirm & now celebrate what the Bible calls sin and evil. An attack on gender and sexuality is an attack on the Creator of mankind. He and He alone is God and He decided to make only two genders - two genders that will compliment one another in sexuality in the safety of a monogamous marriage between a male and a female.
Sin only grows when unrepented of. Notice how the sin has escalated and how quickly in recent years.
Canada Now has adults getting naked in front of children to teach them to accept their body (by staring at others!?!) This is federal crime - the disimenation of pornogrpahy to minors
Netflix - Cuties endorsed minors engaging in sexual activity
Women Unprotected From Naked Men
NCAA not only allowed but encouraged “Lia Thomas” a biological male to use the women’s locker room, getting naked and changing in front of the womens’ swim team. Multiple women swimmers complained and were told to be silent and warned they’d be punished if they spoke up and didn’t “accept” him/her. We’re seeing a complete ignorance in our culture - a willful refusal to accept reality as it is and instead affirm someone’s delusion all in the name of “love” or “acceptance”YMCA - A transgender man used the womens locker room undressing and exposing himself to all the ladies. A woman ran to the front desk to complain and insist he be removed. Instead, the YMCA staff chose to reprimand her instead of the delusional man standing naked in the locker room. YMCA core leaders stood by the staffer’s decision and ensured the scared woman never returns to the YMCA again. This endangers women!
Don’t believe me how fast this is escalating? Men in prison are identifing as transgender women so that they can get transferred to a women's prison and it’s working! What happens? You guessed it. The women are being raped by the trans man that was sent there. Imagine that insanity. Look it up. It’s happening in prisons across America.
Where are the advocates for women in all of these situations?! Where are all the groups who tout themselves to advocate for women’s rights and safety?
There are a handful of arguments that are usually presented by people, even Christians, proposing that we should just all accept this as our new normal. Here are those myths.
Myths Debunked
● MYTH #1 Time Argument /”We’re now more enlightened.”
“We know more about homosexuality now then we did back then.”
○ TRUTH: Are we willing to say then that God knew less about homosexuality then than He does now? We either accept His Word as inerrant because it is perfect or we don’t.
● MYTH #2 “You can be anything you want to be.”
○ TRUTH: You can be everything God wants you to be - nothing more, nothing less. You can’t change genders because you feel like it. Gender is not fluid or a feeling; it is designed by God and given at birth - conception actually. Your body parts reveal your gender. Satan takes a good statement meant to be an encouraging line and twists it.
● MYTH #3 “Rebranding something removes it’s harm.”
It’s Gender Affirming Care: “All trans kids deserve gender affirming care”
TRUTH: Renaming something doesn’t remove it’s actual reality. Cutting the breasts off a teen girl is mutilation, torture and abuse performed only by psychopaths, dellusionial in their own pride and narcisim that they know better than the parents and IM-mature child.
MYTH #4 But many are “born this way”
Social Construct or is it natural? People are “born this way” “Born This Way” Inclinations Is someone simply born with this dysphoria? Some argue that.
TRUTH: Liberal states have a staggering percentage higher of trans and LBGTQ youth and adults. Why? The culture they are in is consistently affirming and celebrating it. It’s a ‘product of environment’ choice. No different than if I grew up in a town and everyone in my community spoke spanish - I then would speak Spanish. It’s a social construct. IOW It’s being TAUGHT. It’s not “natural” ‘Born this way’
MYTH #5 “Love Affirms Everything & Everyone”
○ TRUTH: Love tells the truth and prevents people from danger. Love accepts them into their world as friend but loves them enough to point out thoughts or behaviors that are harmful. This is at the core of Satan’s lie. Satan comes “as an angle of light’ Scripture says. He deceives; he doesn’t flat out lie most often. He takes something that sounds true and “right” or “moral” or “kind” and twists it so that it works in his favor and accomplishes his agenda.
MYTH #6 “If it isn’t hurting you, what’s the problem?”
This argument goes like this … “If they’re happy, just leave them alone. Don’t be so arrogant and push your beliefs on LGBTQ people!”
Their choice to dress in opposite sex clothing and pridefully share that they have sex with people who have the same body parts by discussing it with children, in media, at Library StoryTime hours, in parks, etc is forcing my children (America’s children) to see pornographic, sexual content that up until 2022 was deemed illegal federally because it's proven to cause psychological harm and simply bc it’s WRONG.
They’re choice to take their clothes off in front of a minor who is a female is endangering my children and your children from seeing things they can’t unsee at ages they can’t comprehend and process. Homosexuality pushed by YouTube Kids algorithm and a myriad of other sources potentially removes the joy of them being in a monogomous relationship with the opposite sex thereby inhibiting them from the blessings of children.
a) Protect my children from being forced to compete with bioligical males who are proven stronger. Biggest benchpress amount for women is 500lbs Biggest benchpress for men is 1050 lbs. TWICE. I’m not sure if you’ve seen the video of a trans man knocking out a female boxer, but if you haven’t, you should … if your stomach can handle it. Where are the advocates for women’s safety in all these situations!?
b) The second reason I can’t just turn a blind eye in the name of “leave them alone” is I have an obligation and God-given innate compulsion to protect my children from danger. As a parent, I will protect my children from being forced to see sexual content before they were destined by God to see it. Sin will always escalate. This is why you see a depraved mayor in LA who was spanked by a drag queen in front of children recently during class hours. Satan wants the entirety of our youth sexualized, and only perverts welcome it. Sex is meant to be enjoyed in the privacy of a bedroom between a man and a woman that have come together in the covenant of marriage - it’s NOT a show to be seen. As a parent, I won’t allow you to sexualize my children or do things or read things inappropriate in their midst. If a male chooses to try to deceive society by dressing “trans” and follows my daughters into the women’s bathroom, I don’t care if he’s wearing a dress, he will come out with some broken limbs. That’s called love - me protecting my daughters. This happened in Target stores across America a few years ago and it will happen more if society continues down this insane path.
c) It IS my job to speak up because the Bible tells me to. The Biblically is clear in it’s instruction to warn Christians who claim these issues are not a grievance to God. Paul tells us that it IS our role to warn believers who engage in open rebellion against God yet claim to be “believers” or “in the faith”
We are in the last days Jesus warned about where the tares will be growing right alongside the wheat. They will look like Christians, sound like Christians and label themselves Christians yet will deny the explicit words and commands of God given in His Word.
I personally believe the great deception of the end times is that affirming sin will be called “love” but we know that love is only truly love when it is grounded in truth, and the perfect depiction of love is God himself who is fully righteous, yet completely sacrificial. He demonstrated this in the giving of his son Jesus. How many kids suffer from gender dysphoria because of the lies they have heard in today’s culture we know that there are only two genders, male and female, and God created an outline in the very first book of the Bible. Marriage is between a man and a woman, and their union can reflect, as Paul states, the union of Jesus and his bride.
MYTH #7 “A loving parent lets the children decide.”
We don’t make this argument for any other situation - minors choosing.
Minors who think it’d be fun to ride their tricycle down highway - the adults make the choice for the child that it is NOT safe and protect the child from the danger they don’t understand.
We don’t allow someone who has an imaginary friend to book 2
flights on an airplane. We’d call them mentally ill and ask them to book one flight or to leave and stop asking for another seat. When someone is mentally ill, we don’t celebrate their illness; we have compassion on them and love them enough to tell them the truth, and if we see it’s not sinking in, we help them best we can in safe environments. Still, we do NOT adapt our lives around the delusion of the mentally ill person. We do not “affirm their reality.” There is reality and there is delusion. There is biological sex and physical anatomy indicating one’s gender.If someone decides to have sex with another human that’s the same gender as them, that is their decision and they can do whatever they want in the privacy of their bedroom. God will judge them one day - I’m praying they repent and ask Jesus to forgive them, which He would! - but nonetheless - I can’t stop, nor will I try to stop two grown adult sinners from sinning. Paul says in Colossians, “You’d have to leave the world to do that.” (to stop sinners from sinning) I am, however willing to speak up to ...
The question the world is asking the church on this subject of homosexuality is this:
Why do Christians get so passionate or dogmatic about homosexuality? Why do you seem to hate the homosexuals?
Let me first say We don’t hate the homosexual or the trans person. We love the person and want to see them changed by the love and truth found in God’s Word just like we were. We want
I do, however want to apologize for the way some Christians have acted regarding this subject. Since Gay Marriage was legalized in our Supreme Court, we have seen a number of Christians and Ministers speak so condescendingly about people are gay or lesbian or even transgender. We need to treat people who are confused with compassion and love but never affirm their sin and rebellion. We welcome the drunkard but we don’t hand out alcohol. We welcome the thief but we don’t open the safe. We welcome the LGBTQ person but we don’t affirm their sin.
Why the disdain for homosexual approval/acceptance? We believe sexuality is sacred because it’s given by God to populate the earth, multiplying His image on the earth, glorifying His name in the context of marriage as it celebrates His design.
While the opposite is true: We believe that homosexuality tells God, “Your design is flawed.” That view of course, offends us. Why? Because we love God and worship Him as Creator.
Marriage between a man and woman celebrates the design of God given to us in Genesis.
We feel that God’s Word is so clear about His creation of man and woman and that the two become one not just to complement and care for one another but also to provide a way for multiplication. Keep in mind that when He created man and woman, He created them in His image, so when children are born they are continuing the image of God and even the command of God “to multiply and fill the earth.” So this is powerful and meaningful stuff to us Christians.
We believe a man compliments a woman as a woman needs and a woman compliments and helps a man in ways that a man needs. Men and women ARE different, no matter what some in our society may tell you. There are inherent differences between male and female and when God created man and woman to come together in marriage, it was part of His fantastic design and a way for us to glorify Him. Marriage, the Bible tells us, actually is a picture of Jesus and the church. This sacred institution called marriage is a beautiful picture, a metaphor or Jesus Christ and how He serves and protects the church and the church honors Jesus. Jesus serves us not because we ask Him to but because He is kind and selfless, and we in return, honor Him and respect Him.
We Christians are so thankful God made us, and God forgave us that we want each person to honor our Creator and our Savior by knowing God and honoring His design. The lie of LGBTQ begins with a question “Did God really say?”
Yes. Yes He did.
Romans 1:25-32
“…because they exchanged the truth about God for a 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 dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God’s righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them.”
