• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

So what do you call a trans-man or a trans-woman?


I have no personal identifier. The LGBT people would have me call a modified man to woman, she. In any case, I had a chat with an acquaintance who underwent the surgery along with the hormone treatment, and he and I talked about various things. He briefly mentioned opposition to this sort of thing but he did not need my permission to do anything. The same with anybody else.

However, and this is important, if you are in higher education and refuse to call a biological male who has been modified by surgery by their preferred name, you can and will be fired. By creating enemies, the other side seeks to impose a dictatorship. Pluralistic societies are not supposed to work that way.

Not a problem.
Others may skim, also not a problem.
Especially if you're already conversant on the topic.
Chuck Missler does introduce some awesome gadgetry I've not heard of before.

Excellent, informative comment.
Thank you for your participation.

LOL, I hear ya.
I don't have a problem with people who are confused.
This is about an agenda that includes both (all) "trans" away from God's creation.
As long as my privacy is being respected, I don't care who's in the bathroom.
The video includes some of the reasons they do this.
Mostly the impetus is medical up front, but once it gets accepted, it becomes open to other motivations.

No one can change their sexual identity. I know all about the procedure. An X-ray would clearly show a female bone structure even if the woman cuts her hair and grows a mustache.
Your definition of identity isn't the only one out here.

Transhumanism ? Like the chassis that let a paralysed man walk a few months ago . It was attached to his brain . You do realize that technology like that does make you a rather primitive cyborg. How is this demonic ?View attachment 266987
It's the intent that CAN be demonic.

That can be said about anything from making a rifle or baby doll.
Exactly. Yes it can . Thank you.
Wasn't sure you would be able to understand that since you had to ask.

That was my first post on this thread and there was no question but regardless just wait until robots or cyborgs can do this.

Sir and madam or m’am are derived from French sieur and Madame. They still say monsieur which really means my sir . Madame means my lady.
Hey you! , kinda works too even if it’s a little rude to call someon like that . Back in the old south, it was common for white employers to call black people by another name . A woman named Josephine got called Sadie for example and she’d better answer to it or else she was being uppity . Uppity people sometimes got lynched. Being “called out your name” was considered to be an insult and nowadays is synonymous with being cursed out. But back then it meant something different.
I call people by the pronouns they prefer because you’re telling them that you don’t recognize their reality, which is actually gaslighting. It’s a subtle form of emotional abuse. When I told someone on CF that I see racism, sexism and this type of homophobia as the same, ( I used SSDD) they thought I was exaggerating. I’m not!

Being sure is no indication at all of being truthful. Test everything BEFORE accepting it at all.
(God is not afraid of homos, but He does not allow them in His Kingdom (none of them are found in the life to come) UNLESS, like ALL other sinners, they repent and become a NEW CREATION! )
Likewise Jesus' permanent disciples in this life, are not afraid of homobilia, but recognize it as God does as sin leading to death, like ALL other sin, if not repented of....

The science of genetic engineering is progressing very fast. GMO foods proliferate in our food supply.This video shows 18 GMO plants and animals.


That is why people are rejecting GMO food. That is why packaging has the words "No GMO." People who want GMO can buy it, I won't.

Facts are facts. Manipulating facts to suit a particular worldview amounts to creating fiction.
Perhaps that's what happened... no problem.

But then, WHAT IF
someone manipulates facts TO SHOW THE TRUTH ?

Is that STILL FICTION ?
or
if it is still fiction, is it wrong? Or would it be like a parable ?

Very true. But with this CRISPR technology, how long will it be before it's use become mainstream in humans. We may not like it and we may disapprove of it, but it is happening. And though it sounds good, it can easily be perverted.
