  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A California-based transgender pastor, Drew Stever, has spoken out about creating a more inclusive ministry for the LGBTQ+ community, saying that the Bible "wasn't written for 2024".

Stever, who identifies as a transgender man, serves at Hope Lutheran Church in Hollywood, part of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA).

In an interview with The Daily Mail, he said he believes that traditional interpretations of gender, as outlined in the Bible, are "outdated".

He argued: "When we read in scripture that God created man and woman, yes, but God created everyone else as well."

His aim is to challenge the binary understanding of gender found in religious texts and provide a more welcoming space for people of all identities.

Raised in Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, Stever grew up attending a Catholic school but struggled with anger and depression related to gender dysphoria.

I’m really really sick of lgbt infiltrating Christian churches. Enough is enough.

What she said was blasphemous.

Luther is probably rolling in his grave.

If they were honest ( I think), they would start their own religion with their own facilities. It’s more lucrative, effective, & convenient to eliminate the opposition and appropriate their facilities I guess.

He is a fool along with all who support him.

Roman 1:32
Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

I have zero doubts that the apostles Paul, James, John, and Peter would call out the heretical words spoken by Drew Strever. Therefore, Strever is more proof of the disgusting beliefs of the transgenderism agenda.

So a woman. It's disapponting that a "Christian" news website would indulge her fantasy and refer to her as a man.

And here we are. Take note brothers and sisters.

Luke 17:26-29 KJV
26 And as it was in the days of Noe, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.
27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark, and the flood came, and destroyed them all.
28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29 But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all.

She’s only leading people astray.

So very sad.

It is very important to push back at this in our churches. Attend church meetings and let your heart be known. This is called an abomination in the Scriptures. Flee this stuff. Find a church that speaks openly and solidly against it. Of course God loves everyone, but this will bring down the wrath of nature upon any institution that promotes it.
This sickens the land and it naturally wants to vomit that poison out.
Leviticus 18:24-25 KJV
24 Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:
25 And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.


Leviticus 18:27-28 KJV
27 (For all these abominations have the men of the land done, which were before you, and the land is defiled
28 That the land spue not you out also, when ye defile it, as it spued out the nations that were before you.

Transgenderism = Demonic movement. Notice how the LGBT flag has 6 colors? 6 is the number of man. If there is one movement that is just as bad as the alt-right, it is the LGTV movement.

Article about darkness of transformer movement:

20 minute video on why transgenderism is demonic:

Summary: "Transgenderism is seen as suppressing God’s knowledge by denying His existence, His rules on sexual behavior, or His male attributes. This results in a distorted view of human identity. It represents human pride in trying to surpass God’s wisdom, which St. Paul, in 1 Timothy 3:6, says led to the devil’s downfall. Thus, the transgender movement reflects Satan’s pride."

One more thing, if this false teaching by Drew Stever is not the sign of the End Times, then y'all have your heads in a paper bag. The first fruits of the fig tree happened in 1948*. Look at what is happening decades later...

*Disclaimer: This parable may not be referring to Israel, according to New Covenant Way.

The Holy Bible was written for eternity.
This transgender person is in violation of Deuteronomy 22:5.
Agreed. And for the folks who prefer the New Testament, the NT clearly states the same thing as Deuteronomy. Both OT and NT condemn the LGBT movement:

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (NKJV): Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God.

Well said, brother.
Just preaching the truth about the deception we have in 2024. The Ukrainian pastor, Vlad Savchuk may get a little too deep on demonology, but he is truly right about how the LGTV agenda is from Satan's demons. I like Vlad's videos.

One of Satan's biggest weapons is confusion. That includes confusing people about the Holy Bible and confusing people about their genders.
