Transgender Heroes?

There has been much made recently of what is called “transgender” individuals.  (I put that word in quotes because no one is actually changing their gender – that is impossible to do).  These are people who for one reason or another (nothing that I can figure out) believe, however mistakenly, that they were born the wrong gender.  God made a mistake with them.  (Not that they believe in God.  If they did believe in God they would not be engaged in such absurd behavior).  They believe that they should have been born the opposite gender than what they were.  They have always known that inside of themselves they were not who they appeared to be on the outside.  To correct this discrepancy, they undergo medical procedures to become outwardly what they believe they are inwardly.  These individuals have been hailed as heroes by the media, by Hollywood, and by other non-thinking entities.  One was even named “woman of the year.” 

Not being content to simply live their lives quietly, they have chosen instead to attempt to force their perversity upon others in the most obnoxious of ways.  They proudly parade their despicable lifestyle demanding approval and acceptance by all and vociferously condemning as bigots those who have the spiritual fortitude to call it what it is – sin.  Rebellion against God.  Telling God that He doesn’t know what He is doing.  Telling Him that they know what is best.  Believing that they have the “right” to do as they please and not even God has the authority to prevent them from doing so. 

Anyone who says anything to the contrary can expect a barrage of hatred and name calling spewed against them.  “How dare they have the audacity to even think that what someone else chooses to do with their own body should be criticized or questioned?”   If anyone, especially a Christian, speaks out against this he or she is then condemned by open-minded people as being hateful and a bigot.  These people are so open-minded that truth cannot find a resting place with them but instead rushes straight through their heads because there is nothing there to stop it. 

But is “bigot” properly used in this context?  Let’s allow Merriam-Webster to offer us a definition of the word: “a person who is obstinately or intolerantly devoted to his or her own opinions and prejudices especially one who regards or treats the members of a group (as a racial or religious group) with hatred and intolerance” 

Mutilating one’s body in order to appear to be someone of the opposite sex has nothing to do with national origin, skin color or religious belief.  Well, in the abstract, it may very loosely fit in the religious definition because the person who so chooses to do so to their body is a member of the “I’m my own god” religion.  What is being criticized is an action that has been taken, not an inherent attribute or condition of the person.

To applaud this activity and promote it as normal is political correctness at its worst.  Liberal politicians, in order to gain support by any deviant group of people, will attempt to legitimize even the most absurd activity as worthy of acceptance.  Election and reelection is their god.  After all, their political career is of prime importance to them – even more important than their immortal souls.  They willing trade one for the other. 

But it is not just politicians who espouse this nonsense, but everyone who thinks they are smarter than anyone else – especially those who disagree with them.  This includes practically every political and religious liberal.  Both believe that they have all the answers that are necessary in any given situation.  Anyone who disagrees with them based on Biblical principles is guilty of the worst offense possible – trying to force God on them because their belief system is rooted in the premise that man is supreme and cannot be forced to acknowledge a Being who is superior to themselves who rules even over their affairs.  They will not allow anyone to say or do anything that jeopardizes his freedom to do whatever he desires to do as long it does not hurt others.  They are convinced that belief in God hurts people because believing just might prevent someone from engaging in certain activities and it just might make them feel guilty.  And we just cannot have guilt or conviction that actions are wrong.

Political correctness, at its basic level states that no one has the right to criticize what another does, that anyone can make decisions that they deem to be best for themselves – as long as they vote for me.  There are no absolute ethics that apply to everyone.  What is good for you is not necessarily good for me.  Like in the days of the Biblical Judges, everyone can do what is right in their own eyes.  No one has the right to offend anyone else by disagreeing with their actions or words.  Unless, of course, it is a Christian who is speaking out; then he or she is fair game for hateful attacks, even violence against his or her person.  But to use Biblical principles to demonstrate the error of one’s ways and choices is attacked by these open-minded individuals as a hate crime.  But it is not the Christian who is guilty of hate; it is those who hatefully criticize the Christian – which is true bigotry according to Webster's definition.

So, in the world’s view, I am guilty of mean-spirited, hateful, bigoted rhetoric because I am simply stating truth as contained in the Word of the Almighty God. Regardless of who may reject this truth, there remain absolutes in this world that are still governed by God.  No one has the right or ability to change what God has established even if they think they do.  In the fundamental sense of the word, there is no such thing as a “transgendered” person.  What a person is born as is what they will remain regardless of how they modify their bodies or convince their minds that they are different.  Chromosomes cannot be altered to make a male into a female or a female into a male.  What you are born with is what you are.  Your delusional mind may tell you that you  are not what your body is, but you cannot change the x chromosome into a y chromosome or vice versa.  

You can mutilate your body and thereby deceive yourself into thinking that you are now what you choose to be, but you are still what God has made you.  If you were born a male, you will always remain a male; born a female, you remain a female.  You have deceived yourself right into eternal damnation because you have taken pleasure in sin and have not humbled yourself under the laws of God.  Your pride and arrogance have exalted yourself to self-imagined godhood – the condemnation of the devil.

Of particular concern at this time is their forceful demand that the public recognize and accept them on their terms.  The smaller the group, the more right they think they have not to be offended.  Of course the offense comes when anyone does not bow to their demands and has the audacity to reject it as immoral.  The infinitesimally small minority is trying to force the much greater majority to write special laws just for them.  Men who want to be viewed as women are insisting they be allowed to use women’s bathrooms in a public locale.  And vice versa.  Somehow, this has become the most important issue in their lives – where they choose to relieve themselves.  The majority no longer has rights.  Minorities rule.  This is absurd.

In Charlotte, North Carolina, money issues are taking precedent over righteousness.  Several corporations have withdrawn their decision to locate their businesses there because of the state law that rightfully refuses to allow men to use women’s bathrooms.  Some rock musicians have cancelled their appearances for the same reason, calling the law unfair to this group.  “It’s just so unfair and discouraging to them not to be able to use the bathroom of their choice.”  Some states have issued mandates to state employees against travel to North Carolina.  All because a small group of men can’t use women’s bathrooms?  Are they serious?  How is it possibly discriminatory to prevent men – even if they believe they are women – from using bathrooms that women and girls are using?  Target stores have caved in to the pressure to allow anyone to use a bathroom that they self-identified with.  What if someone self-identifies as a dog.  Will they be allowed to pee in the aisle?  This entire politically correct debacle is obscene and disgusting and will end with God's judgment poured out upon America unless there is national repentance.

The majority of Americans are being discriminated against by having this issue forced on them.  Now Charlotte is trying to change this state law because they are losing money.  Money is the predominant issue for them.  They are willing to bow to pressure to conform to the wishes of so few rather than stand for what is right and Godly.  

I know that my choice of words may offend some, but I really don’t care.  I am highly offended by this utter nonsense.  God is highly offended by it.  The truth of the matter is that I am offended by this “transgender” nonsense because it is an offense to God.  What offends God offends me.  The entire world system is an offense to God because it totally disregards Him and His order for man.  

My purpose is not to be obnoxious or to intentionally cause emotional distress to anyone, but to state the issue as clearly as I can.  The problem in this world is that very few people speak truth if there is any possibility that someone would feel offended by that particular truth.  “Ooh ooh!  We don’t want them to get hurt feelings.  What will they think of us?  They might get mad at us.” 

Psalm 12 is a relevant today as it was when David penned it. 

1 Help, Lord, for no faithful one remains; the loyal have disappeared from the human race.
2 They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.  3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully.  4 They say, “Through our tongues we have power; our lips are our own—who can be our master?  5 “Because of the oppression of the afflicted and the groaning of the poor, I will now rise up,” says the Lord. “I will put the one who longs for it in a safe place.” 6 The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in an earthen furnace, purified seven times.  7 You, Lord, will guard us; You will protect us from this generation forever.  8 The wicked wander everywhere, and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.

Christians have allowed the world to force its way upon us without standing up for what is right.  We are so unlike the apostles who told the Sanhedrin “we ought to obey God rather than man.”  Because we have obeyed man rather than God, God is the offended Party.  That is far more serious than people being offended.  Man’s spirit needs to be offended and convicted by the Holy Spirit if he is ever to realize his lost condition and his need for God.

But God will rise up against the worthless nonsense that the world craves and exalts.  They think they are unassailable and are protected by sheer numbers, but God is the majority.  He will prevail.  You may or may not agree with what I say, but I have as much right to speak what I believe as others have the right to speak what they believe.  It is not spoken hatefully, just clearly and unambiguously.  I want to be faithful to the Word of God.

Just so there is no misunderstanding my point of view: giving perverted people special rights that offend the majority is not right.  It is wrong by any decent standard.  I do not for one minute believe that they should be persecuted or mistreated, but they do not deserve special consideration under any circumstance.  God will take care of any punishment if there is any to be administered.  But they do need to live by the same rules and laws as the rest of us do, but do so quietly.  They do not deserve to have the right to do whatever they want to do just because it makes them feel that they are being true to their inward selves.  If they choose to mutilate and mangle their bodies, so be it, but do not try to jam it down anyone else’s throat.  We do not have to accept it as normal or as their constitutional right (the constitution does not address the issue of man correcting God’s perceived mistakes).  It is not a right in God’s view no matter what courts may rule or celebrities deem to be heroic.  It is a choice one makes that is against God’s laws that no one is obligated to recognize as proper.
