judgment day, transgender

Males grow up to be men; females grow to be women. Children growing up to be something other than what they actually are, learn this from adults already emotionally, socially, and morally confused. Adults teaching this to young people perpetuate evil to the next generation. Their form of evil is only different than that in the 1930s through the mid-1940s. These children will then be adults who are, likewise, socially, emotional, and morally confused.

Adults who teach the latter group to think this way will not escape the Lord’s attention on Judgment Day.

Don’t believe in God? You will soon enough.

“It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”

TRANSGENDERISM and SOCIETY

liberal, moral ignorance, progressive, secular, society, transgender, WW2 generation

Just to be plain about it: transgenderism is a way of thinking born of Satan. Through the many generations of this country, there have always been some people who identified as part of the fringe elements, that is, they were not normal in accordance with society. Tragically, the norms of society have changed wherein the fringe-element seems to be normal with some, while those with conservative Christian values are regarded as out of step with society. From this, people can’t tell you what is right, or even wrong. If, perchance, they can, you can be nearly sure they can’t tell you why something is right or wrong, only that they feel that it is. Press them on this, and you’ll get the answer, “I don’t know why!”

Evidently many descendants from the WW2 generation developed a convoluted way of thinking associated with freedom from God and the moral constraints He obligates. They are not only populated on this country’s coasts, but now run rampant (amuck) in our universities teaching the younger generations. And, why not? If there is no God to whom we must give an account for the life lived (a lie they willingly embrace), just live as you want. Remember: “Do your own thing, man!”?

In the book of Judges, the nation of Israel was trying to find their way religiously, geographically, and to whom they would be loyal. As they were doing this, they were struggling (and failing) to implement the Lord’s way; while some wanted to stay loyal to the Lord, many chose a different path, they did not want to go the way of holiness or righteousness. Consequently, the nation had many tragic ups and downs in life. In Judges 17, the Scripture reads, “In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (17:6, ESV).

Replace the word “king” with the word “God” and the idea plays out the same in our country.

The psalmist wrote, “…for behold, the wicked bend the bow; they have fitted their arrow to the string to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart; if the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do?” (Psalm 11:2-3)

When the Lord is kicked to the side, when the Lord’s moral constraints for the community is replaced with something else, evil takes hold and innocent people suffer. This is the way of thinking, necessarily, of every secular liberal and progressive leader in this country. They want nothing to do with the Lord unless it advances their agenda.

Transgenderism is an ideology born of Satan and “he” is having a profound impact. If/when you resist on moral grounds, rather than dealing with the substance of the argument, the one on the moral-short-end of the argument disparages and raises a mob ruckus to suppress the one who offered it. “Exactly whose morality are we to follow?” they ask with condescension and the lack of moral wisdom.

As with people, so with nations, “And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment…” (Heb. 9:27).

What Should We Have Expected?

expectations, immigrant, sexual immorality, transgender

I was reading Isaiah 40 the other day when I read verse 17, wherein the Lord, through the prophet Isaiah, spoke how He looks upon the nations as nothing, less than nothing and worthless. The Lord was not speaking of the United States, but He could have certainly included us in the denunciations leveled against the idolatrous nations of Isaiah’s time. We are a nation of laws, but a nation that changes the laws to suit the whims of the people. 1) We are a nation that allows illegal immigrants to come to this country and kill a young woman, only to be exonerated for the crime. 2) We are a nation that looks upon a well-known actor (like Jim Neighbors) who was an practicing homosexual up until his passing, mourn his loss and say he is in a better place. 3) We are a nation that kills innocent children in the womb because of moral failing and political persuasion—and we continue to vote the murderers into office! 4) We are a nation that finds fault with the homosexual community, but the heterosexual community has run a-muck with the same sexual vices. 5) We are a nation that looks on alcohol as a drink of pleasure rather than what it actually is—the devil’s brew. 6)  We are a nation that has become confused concerning which bathroom should be used. 7) We are a nation that looks on legalized stealing because those who do not have should get from others what they refuse to work for. 8) We are a nation that has rejected God and all things related to His way of thinking, and what should we expect from such a rejection? As Babylon, as Egypt, as Rome, as the Medo-Persians, we, too, will fall. So, as Christians, lets us take the Lord’s banner and live the gospel of Christ, for the alternative is hopeless. This is what the Lord expects! RT
