    You are wearing blinders if you can not see what is happening in our schools and in the media. We have Gay parades we have porn books used in our schools to teach our children. For you to say this is not a big deal just shows how out of touch you are. We have laws that say you can not call out these sins because you might hurt their sensitive feelings.

    Get you priorities straight. Christ called out evil for what it was and is. You seem to think He would have just us told to get with the program.

    @Baptist Believer as I read your posts it becomes clear that you are part of the problem not the solution. IMHO you wear your Christianity as a coat but in realty you have become part of the world.

    If you do not consider the Gay/Trans ideology to be evil then you are looking through rose colored glasses. You are twisting the truth that Christ spoke in the attempt to support evil. The sad part is that you really seem to think you are helping when you surrender to that view.

    First: We are never going to agree because I believe believe the truth of scripture….

    1. “Male and Female He created them”

    2. God is not a God of confusion

    Second: We will never agree because I believe in the scientific and biological reality of “gender”

    The radical left is attempting to corrupt “science” by claiming “gender” is a “social construct”, not a biological reality.

    Sone are regurgitating this nonsense claiming Christians need to be “openminded” about new ideas and ways of viewing things.

    FTR, when “new information” comes along that conflicts with my religious beliefs, I go to scripture to see if that new information is consistent. I do not abandon my religious beliefs to embrace worldly, and quite frankly, Satanic views on sex and gender.

    FRT #2: I know of no one that approves of kids being bullied in school. I simply disagree with you that letting boys wear skirts and use the girls bathrooms is going to help somehow.

    And let’s be clear, it is the trans community, and those who support and make excuses for them, doing the bullying now.

    The trans community, and those who support and make excuses for them, are forcing girls to share bathrooms and locker rooms with mentally ill boys. That is a violation of Title 9 of the US code, the constitutional right to privacy for these women, common sense and decency.

    If any Christian think otherwise, then their embracing of new ideas and ways to view things has absolutely corrupted their religious beliefs.

    I recently saw a story where a teacher in a public school (2rd or 3rd grade?) told the class she wanted them all to pretend to be the opposite sex. A young girl wouldn’t comply, didn’t feel comfortable with it. That TEACHER started calling that girl by a boys name and using male pronouns to refer to her. The teacher was so relentless, that young girl became suicidal about several weeks.

    Parents are being investigated by the DOJ for speaking out at school board meetings. This whole movement is Satanic.

    If people think for a second parents are going to sacrifice their children to this Satanic ideology because they are called called “close minded”, then those people are truly as delusional as the men that think they can become women.

    peace to you

    Who’s the Bully?

    The state of California legislature just passed a bill that requires judges that are deciding child custody cases to consider whether parents are “affirming” of a child’s gender change in determining if they are fit to have custody.

    So, if a parent would rather have their child get professional counseling to accept the reality of their gender, the liberals consider them “unfit” parents.

    How long before California declares all such parents unfit and have their children removed and put into state custody?

    This is a coordinated attack on Christians by the Christ hating radical left.

    When they marched down the street in women’s cloths chanting “we are coming for your kids” they meant it.

    peace to you

    Sex Assignment and Diagnostics in Infants with Ambiguous Genitalia − A Single-Center Retrospective Study - PMC (nih.gov)

    This link is to a 2019 (publishing date) study of newborns with ambiguous genitalia. The study puts the occurrence at 1 per 5,000 live births. (I've found other studies putting it at 1 in 2,000-4,500.)
    As with other children born with birth defects, God loves each one and we should as well. For the other 99.9%+ of humans, God's word is clear, declaring that we are rated male or female. Those choosing to change gender are rebelling against God (as we all do - Rom. 3:23), and while hatred of people is never right, affirming gender change is affirming sin. Using the very uncommon gender ambiguity as justification for changing one's clear gender is intellectual dishonesty.
    Back to the OP: As others have proposed, using given names rather than pronouns seems the best action.

    Mayo Clinic notes that this particular defect affects males. They do not seem to acknowledge a possible female route with it.

    Reading this discussion, I’m reminded that while the Bible states there are two sexes, male and female, especially regarding marriage, the Lord himself also recognizes another category. And before anyone complains, I did not say another sex, nor did he.

    Matthew 19:10-12:

    10 The disciples said to him, “If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry.”

    11 Jesus replied, “Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”

    I noted my error, but it was too late to edit … so I reported it and had it deleted. Thank you for the correction.

    Proverbs 15:31-33 [NKJV]
    • 31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life Will abide among the wise.
    • 32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul, But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
    • 33 The fear of the LORD [is] the instruction of wisdom, And before honor [is] humility.

    But otherwise - is not a eunuch a male?

    Yes, of sorts, just not one equipped for the normal marriage relationship.

    The original context of male and female was for the marriage relationship. This probably needs a much larger discussion (not an offer), but the eunuch presents a category that does not fit this original context.

    One more observation for that larger discussion (again, not an offer) is that biblically one is either married to the opposite sex, or unmarried and celibate. Anything else would be illegitimate.

    The story about the teacher bullying her student was on Fox News a couple months ago. They interviewed the mother.

    peace to you

    Another insane story on Fox News right now.

    Teenage girl from Virginia with history of mental illness was secretly “transitioned” by school officials who urged her to use male pronouns and use the boys bathroom.

    Apparently, the boys didn’t like sharing the bathroom with a girl. The other kids bullied her, threatening her with rape, until she ran away.

    While a run away, she was sex trafficked in DC and Maryland, repeatedly drugged and raped.

    When she was finally found, the state won’t return her to her family.

    the public defender is fighting not to allow her to go back to her parents because they don’t believe the parents will adequately affirm her gender identity.

    So, these radically insane liberals literally contributed to this young girls nightmare of repeated gang rape and are now doubling down on STUPID, EViL policies that keep parents in the dark about their own children’s mental health problems.

    They are without conscience, without shame, with any sense of right or wrong, without any remorse for what THEY did to this girl.

    I can hardly wait to be lectured about how I’m not following Jesus, how I’m living in fear, how I need to reevaluate my religious beliefs to fit the new information in our society.

    The culture war is upon us. Our children’s futures hang in the balance. I will not go quietly into the night. They will not get my children without a fight. Let Jesus be true and every man revealed to be a liar.

    GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE

    GOD IS NOT A GOD OF CONFUSION

    peace to you

    Plenty of 'specific' examples if you read his posts. Read his posts on social issues (i.e. - abortion, sodomy, transgenderism, etc.). You can do the work. I believe he is left of center compared to a conservative Christian viewpoint. IMHO.
    If you are following the conversation, I'm not the only one who think so.
