When God created the world he created mankind in his own image, male and female he created them.
God created them male and female (Genesis 1:27).
With this blog we have discussed many topics. The headline we are looking at today is deeply disturbing.
In 2 Corinthians 7, the Apostle Paul speaks about certain “promises” which we have from God. Those “promises” are recorded in 2 Corinthians 6:16-18 …
“I will live with them and walk among them,
and I will be their God, and they will be my people.”
17 Therefore, “Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
18 And,
“I will be a Father to you, and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty”
These are the “promises” Paul is referring to when he says in 2 Corinthians 7:1
“Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.” (NIV)
The New American Standard Bible reads; “let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.”
- Purify, Cleanse
From all
- Contaminate, Defilement
The human appetite easily leads to contamination and defilement.
The goal is to perfect holiness which means to pursue holiness.
Holiness is separation from all that defiles the physical body and the mind.
I refer to this passage in 2 Corinthians because there are some bills in various stages of passing or not passing in several states and the mere fact that these bills are even being considered is deeply concerning.
In California it is AB 1266.
In New York it was S2406.
In Massachusetts it was HB 1728.
In Arizona it is SB 1045.
In Maine it was 1046.
WHAT are all these bills?
They are called the “Bathroom Bills”
What is a bathroom bill?
What they propose is that anyone who is transgender has a right to use whatever bathroom, locker room, changing area that they want too.
These bills basically say that there is no such thing as gender.
- Public restrooms
- High school locker rooms
- Health clubs
- Even dorm rooms
All would be accessible by anyone.
Any man could legally gain access to facilities reserved for women and girls simply by indicating, verbally or non-verbally, that he inwardly feels female at the moment.
American Psychological Association says there is no way to distinguish between someone suffering from “Gender Identity Disorder” and a sexual predator.
This means that high school sports teams can have any gender play on them.
A girl can play on a boy’s baseball team. That’s fine.
It also means boys could play on girl’s tennis teams or swim teams.
Which ALSO means coaches would then be required to allow that male individual to change in the female locker room.
In Washington State, parents became upset (as were the female athletes) when they heard that a male was naked in a sauna in the girl’s locker room. Because of state law, school officials could do nothing about it.
Massachusetts Family Institute says that:
- HB 1728 says that “school children would be taught that they can change their gender.
- This means that women only fitness facilities would now be open to anyone.
“Come out from them and be separate, says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.”
HOW FAR REMOVED is our culture from the heart of God?????
