There is an assault against Biblical Christianity, the church, the family, and our children in America today like never before. Those who defy God’s Word regarding our sexual identity are in power and preying on the curiosity of precious children and luring them to experiment in ways that would destroy their lives. Dr. Ben Carson, a brilliant, retired pediatric neurosurgeon, described the pushing of left-wing transgender ideology upon children as “child abuse.” I agree. Meanwhile, our Congress is seeking to pass an “Equality Act.” On the surface, it is meant to prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. But this act works as a form of inequality against Bible believers and opens the door wider for potential persecution and at worst it would make sincerely held beliefs based on the Bible punishable under the law. (1. See Footnote)
This strangely worded piece of legislation actually is a form of reverse discrimination against those who believe the truth that there are only two possible genders and one of them is assigned to us by our Creator at birth. This act will ultimately destroy our nation as founded, change the educational curriculum, force doctors to perform sex change operations, limit Christians from adoptions, and much more. It will potentially punish financially and even criminally those who think differently than what the government mandates in this bill. The government is telling us what to think in spite of what the Bible teaches. Meanwhile, Congressman Jerry Nadler dangerously stated, “What any religious tradition describes as God’s will is no concern of this Congress.” Such hubris in this law makes the government perilously close to establishing itself as a religion that sees its view of creation as true and we must either agree or be punished.
Parents: teach your children the Bible truth! Affirm your sons as strong young men. Affirm your daughters as beautiful in God’s sight. There are some things in life we have no control over, but we trust God who decides these things for our own good. We do not decide our parents, the nation of our birth, or our gender. We are assigned these things by the good hand of God who makes us either male or female and it was HIS choice not ours. God made Adam a male and Eve a female, and neither had a choice as to the matter. Today there are lies being promulgated and a spiritual war is being fought over this issue. We must stand firm and not waver. The Bible and scientific biology agree that there are two genders. This has been true from the beginning of time and government laws cannot change what God has ordained. Genesis 1:26-28.
