  • 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.

The State of West Virginia v. B.P.J., a landmark case that will determinewhether states can protect women’s sports from biological males was heard a few days ago at the Supreme Court in the opening oral arguments. The case centers on West Virginia’s “Save Women’s Sports Bill,” which requires student athletes to compete in sports matching their biological sex.

A biological male student challenged the law seeking to compete on girls’ track teams. Lower courts blocked the law, but the Supreme Court will now decide whether states have the constitutional authority to maintain sex-separated sports.

The stakes are enormous. This case affects athletic programs across all 50 states, impacting millions of female athletes from elementary school age all they way up to college. It will determine whether biological reality or gender ideology shapes American sports policy. Make no mistake: This isn’t just about athletics. It’s about whether our nation will recognize fundamental biological truths or surrender to ideology that denies reality itself. So how should Christians think about this? Consider these three points:

First, we must recognize what has been true since creation: There are only two biological sexes.

I think the current Supreme Court has a lot more common sense than some of the lower courts have demonstrated. Praise God that the bad ideas generally don't make it past the Supreme Court these days.

Sure enough . Elections have consequences.

Something must be wrong with me; I just had a liberal thought, though not necessarily like some may think,.

In my humble opinion, men competing in women's sports is a travesty, The laws interpreted to allow such are another question. Like a lawyer once said to a relative, "What's right is one thing; what's the law is another." If SCOTUS ruled that the laws allowed this, the obvious response should nbe to rewrite the laws rather than to let them stand. But I don't know if the laws justify men in women's sports or not.
