Transgenderism Is A Real Threat To Christians

Unfortunately, I'm not sold on the idea that political revolution is actually all that effective in the long-run.

What’s your preferred method of social progress and rebalancing of power structures?

Mine is to analyze and question the existing methods until Reality sets in.

I was referring to when we used the original godless pledge and national motto.

Sorry if I jump the gun.

And it's our job to care what happens to real people.

God made us to care. I don't know why. It would be nice if we could just not care at all.

But instead, our hearts break for others.

I once asked a monk how those in heaven will be able to deal with having lost so many to hell, including those whom we may have loved personally. His response was that they will be forgotten to us. We will have no recollection of them at all - we won't care about them.

I think he was right, because Matthew 7:23. And how can we know more than God?

That's a work order I never got. I couldn't care less what happens to 99.9999999999% of the people on this planet. And contrary to popular opinion I really don't think that I'm that much different than everyone else, they just like to tell themselves that they care. But judging by popular media and forums such as this one, people are much more likely to be upset with their fellow man than they are to be concerned about their well being.

Me, I'm just honest... I don't care either way. The only things that I care about are the things that somehow or other elicit an emotional response, and frankly, very few things can do that. Now I may be on the apathetic end of the emotional spectrum, but I think that it's more detrimental to society for people to be on the overly sensitive end of the emotional spectrum, because then you end up with people being driven to the emotional extremes of either being totally for something, or totally against it. They completely lose site of the rational middle, which is where people like myself spend the vast majority of our time... not worrying about what all the 'chicken littles' are squawking about today.

So the one thing that I've treasured most in this life will be ripped away from me forever, and I won't care... and they call that heaven? God will make me completely indifferent to the only thing that I've ever loved. I'm sorry, but if that's heaven... I ain't going, I'd rather spend eternity fighting a hopeless battle for the thing that I love, than to give it up as if it was nothing. If such endless suffering for the ones that I've lost amounts to hell... then I choose hell.

Whether or not you're "in the middle" may depend on which axis in the matrix your actually plotted on...

I find it hard to swallow as well, and was appalled when I was told that. But then again, looking around me, the reality of the universe is that it can be a very harsh place. Creation is what creation is.

And on the other hand, if salvation is all good, then how would sorrow and suffering over the loss of others fit into that paradigm?

Your a man I take it?

And unsaved yes?

Im a female, a real one in every sense. And that does mean I have a tendency toward emotion that my husband doesn't have.

But men are still quite capable of empathy. It's just that usually I think they are more into the practical side of life and who is getting fully funded scientific research papers retracted after publishing and who is getting their kids taken away by the state doesn't always fit into day to day practicality ..

So that's why God made women.

Hahaha

He said they should repent, and repent of what? sin..... and which sin? the bible tells, but in today society you can loose your job for saying something is sin.

Repent from unbelief to belief. After one believes and recieves His Holy Spirit, one can begin to have true repentance from sin. Many Christians circumvent this which is why His Holy Spirit is quenched right from the beginning. You can't build His Kingdom on hate only love. Can't build His Kingdom in the court rooms of America, only in the heart. Rise above human weakness with the true Gospel of forgiveness through His Blood. Thanks for engaging. This is my last post.
Be blessed.

Freedom of speech is getting non existent unless you're face to face.

Being banned from Facebook does not infringe your freedom of speech in a Constitutional context.

 

[partinobodycular]

Yes, I do have a 'Y' chromosome, which may be an odd thing to say, but such are the times that we live in.

And unsaved yes?

From my own personal standpoint I was saved on January 26, 1975. But God'll be the final arbiter on that one, much to the chagrin of many people who consider me to be otherwise, and if they're content with that assessment... fine, I feel no need to argue the point.

But men are still quite capable of empathy.

So it isn't as much a chromosome thing, as it is a 'me' thing, which I freely accept. I'm happy to do me, and let you do you... and if you're willing to do the same, then you and I are copacetic. Happy to meet you.

So that's why God made women.

I knew that there had to be a reason, but now I'm questioning my 'Y' chromosome, because I'm not really into all that macho, political, who's doing what stuff. I'm more into the que sera sera stuff.

 

[Larniavc]

We will have no recollection of them at all - we won't care about them.

That's awful. To have our memories erased completely deprives us of the experiences that make us who we are. I thought God wanted us to have choice; free will. Manipulating out memories so we feel the way he wants us too seems a long way from free will.

And on the other hand, if salvation is all good, then how would sorrow and suffering over the loss of others fit into that paradigm?

About as well as free will would.

Where in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, or in it's doctrines, does it state that transgenderism is a sin?

...Is this really a battle between Transgeners and Christianity? Or is it a battle between traditionalism and modernism?

Neither. It's Chick-Lit. People running around complaining that the sky is falling. I just looked outo f the window. It's still where it was yesterday.

Lol... Doesn't seem like a reason to question your chromosomes...

Being in everyone's business is what women do... Not men.

From my own personal standpoint I was saved on January 26, 1975

Good to know. Wasn't trying to make a judgement I just took some of the things you said wrong.

It's part of what makes us who we are. Apparently we'll be someone else in heaven. Blissfully unaware.

To me, heaven only requires two things, to be sorry for the harm that we do to others, and to be forgiving of the harm that they do to us.

Which means that I'm already there. I'm just waiting for you to catch up.

To be clear i don-t hate anyone, but i don-t buy into gender ideology and it being propagated and taught specially on kids, and religious freedom is being attacked just by having different opinion, this people are basically saying that preaching is hate speech, because christians are preaching you need to repent from sin. Crazy you can-t see my perspective, and i am being tilded as hateful.

It is kind of crazy isn't it. Like I said, one MUST first repent from unbelief to belief.
Now this is my last post!
