Exposing the deadly lies of transgenderism
Jesus was serious about protecting innocent little ones
I wrote a column yesterday about the recent Twitter war that erupted within the LGBT political alliance. Under the hashtag #LGBdroptheT, a shocking number of gay activists began doing what, to this point, had been socially unthinkable – publicly criticizing the transgender movement for its abuse of children and denial of reality.
What a fitting commentary on the backwardness of our culture that the same week outspoken gay and lesbian activists are blasting trans theory for the threat it represents to innocent kids, a widely known preacher and former president of the Southern Baptist Convention, J.D. Greear, publicly pondered how it may be “generous of spirit” for Christians to use a person’s preferred pronouns.
To be fair to Greear, he was speaking about his own disposition and how, if confronted personally with someone requesting to be called by a pronoun that doesn’t match reality, he would likely do so as a courtesy. While that is concerning, I thankfully did not get the impression that the man was teaching such an approach was the biblical one.
That’s good for a number of reasons, the most important being the fact that Jesus spoke bluntly about the consequences of those who, no matter how they justified it, bring harm to children.
Matthew 18
6 “If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
And there can be no mistake at this point – the widely amassed evidence continues to demonstrate harming little ones is exactly what the trans movement is doing. In Britain, at one point a country on the leading edge of the trans craze in the West, authorities have been forced to shut down the Tavistock Gender Clinic. It’s remarkable to observe how quickly many previous proponents of the clinic are backpedaling from their once eager promotion of transgender ideology now that victims are coming forward.
It’s hardly controversial to note that young children lack the cognitive or psychological maturity to be able to make sense of these concepts – particularly the ones we have just recently invented. No child has some innate sense of being “genderqueer.” They are children with active imaginations, free spirits, and malleable minds that are impressionable by cultural cues and by trusted adult voices in their lives.
That’s why this series of videos from the “gender clinic” at Boston Children’s Hospital is nothing short of demonic:
Notice the claim: “the best thing (a parent can do) is just love your child.” Of course that is true. But part of loving your child means taking seriously the role that God gave you as a parent to instruct in truth and wisdom, not affirm childlike fantasy or indulge juvenile confusion, using your child as a prop in some kind of social crusade.
Here again:
The incoherence is breathtaking, and the surest sign this is a foundationless fad that is doing untold damage. Christians particularly, given that we are people of truth who refuse to live by the lies man so often invents for himself in the vain hope of creating some meaning in the midst of their godless existence, must fiercely resist this.
Where do we start? How about right here…
