Another male athlete competing against young women is annihilating the competition. Olympic gold medalist and swimming champion, Michael Phelps weighed in saying everyone should have an equal playing field. Another Olympian, Caitlyn Jenner also commented on the dilemma saying biological boys should not be playing in women’s sports. Most of us would agree.

But what is concerning is the reaction to a remnant of Christian pastors who have recently preached on biblical sexuality which YouTube has labeled “hate speech.”

Some of us have been warning for years this would come to America. We’ll address ‘Lia’ Thomas and the swimming controversy in a minute.

A number of pastors recently preached about biblical sexuality as part of an effort in North America to protest a new Canadian law that took effect January 8 after being pushed through Parliament with little debate.

Canada’s Bill (C-4) is broadly worded and would likely make certain Scriptures illegal and in effect, ban biblical teachings on sexual ethics. About 4,000 church leaders spoke out recently, protesting the law from church pulpits, affirming their stance on God’s Word.

Liberty Coalition Canada warns that wording of the bill is broad enough to allow for “the criminal prosecution of Christians who would speak biblical truth into the lives of those in bondage to sexual sins like homosexuality and transgenderism.”

Since YouTube backs the Canadian law affirming the Bible is hate speech, let’s look at some of what scripture says:

There is no such thing as transgender. You are either XX or XY, that’s it. God made man male and female (Genesis 1:27). That is determined genetically, that is physiology, that is science, that is reality. On the one hand, the reality of that (transgender) lie and deception is so damaging, so destructive, so isolating, so corrupting that it needs to be confronted.

YouTube reportedly reviewed this and said it violates their “hate speech policy.”

Thomas More Society special counsel, Jenna Ellis rebuked the big tech giant for censoring material like this. I absolutely love this quote!

“The big tech oligarchy in the United States is implementing the equivalent of Canada’s insane law by censoring truth and the right of pastors to teach the Bible,” Ellis told the conservative commentator. “If Americans don’t stop big tech, this new Regime will circumvent the Constitution to foreclose our fundamental rights to speak and exercise religion – and the impact will be devastating.”

Devastating is right. You think it’s dark and depraved in our moral relativistic society now, just wait.

We’ve been relatively spoiled and free from religious persecution in North America. Not anymore. And please understand this will impact private conversations. It’s not just pastors and religious leaders who will face consequences of speaking biblical truth, individual citizens are already being bullied into silence, suppressed, censored, and severely limited if not deleted on many platforms.

We need to pay more attention to attacks on Christians and intolerance of the biblical worldview in other countries. Regarding moral decay, history has often shown the U.S. is not too far behind other declining nations.

In Finland, for example, Päivi Räsänen (Pivey Rausenen), a Christian member of Parliament in Finland is currently on trial. She has been fighting for freedom of speech and religion in court because she posted a Bible passage from Romans 1 on social media which condemns homosexuality. She was charged with three counts of hate speech.

But the transgender locomotive is steamrolling through our own culture and through every major institution in America including the hyper-secular university system.

University of Pennsylvania swimmer, Lia Thomas actually competed with the men’s team for three years. But last year joined the women’s team and has dominated all female competition. Just last weekend, Thomas obliterated swimming records previously held by female athletes, chalking up two more victories at a meet against Harvard.

If we’re concerned about truth and clarity, it’s important to breakdown some recent comments by Olympic gold medalist Caitlyn Jenner, formerly known as Bruce. He said biological boys should not be playing in women’s sports. Most of us would agree, but we’re at the point this will likely be censored for referring to Jenner as “he.”

Listen closely to what else he said and pay attention to the wording. He criticized “this woke culture were living in right now” and said it is not working. Again, agreed.

But he hypocritically reverts back to the delusion when commenting on the unfair advantage men have when competing against women in sports. Jenner continued referring to Thomas as “she” and “her” – which is part of the woke culture he has contributed to!

“I don’t know why she’s doing it; “She knows when she’s swimming, she’s beating the competition by two laps. She was born a biological boy. She was raised as a biological boy. Her cardiovascular system is bigger, her respiratory system is bigger, her hands are bigger, she can swim faster.”

See the problem here? And if you state the obvious, the biblical truth, the scientific, physiological and biological reality, you will be penalized the left’s bully pulpit and one party big-tech media conglomerate.

Naturally, Democrats, globalists, and others who are hostile toward the truth of Christ are all in. Think I’m exaggerating? In the Nancy Pelosi-controlled U.S. House of Representatives, the so-called Equality Act I’ve warned about for years has already passed.

Elections have consequences, and if this piece of radical legislation passes in the Senate, truth proclaimers and Bible-believing Christians will face persecution here that most of us didn’t think would happen in our lifetimes. Don’t think the left won’t gleefully criminalize followers of an entire worldview to advance its godless agenda.

This notion that you are something other than your biology is a cultural construct intended as an assault on God. The only way you can address it honestly, is to say, “God made you and God made you exactly the way He wanted you to be.”

This is a war on God. Those professing another identity or gender are not only fighting God and His physical creation, but they’re fighting His sovereignty. Those who subscribe to these worldly philosophies (Col. 2:8) have created a god of their own liking. We must fear God wholeheartedly and declare, ‘as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! (Joshua 24:15)

Thankfully, more and more people are waking up, but time is short and I pray it’s not too late.

Parky, You make some good points. I don't think that transgender females should compete as women. I disagree with your point that G-d made men, and women, and that's it. There is no cure for homosexuality. People are what they are and that means homosexuals as well. I have known some homosexuals, and most were good people. As a group, they should not be discriminated against, anymore than any other minority in this blessed land.

Find the New Testament scriptures dealing specifically with sex, remembering that Jesus said the Old Testament was fulfilled.

Parky:
I am not a follower of any religion, and that includes the bible. But I was raised a Christian. You should be able to post any quotes you want from the bible and virtually anywhere, but in the right context that doesn't infringe on others rights. I have no problem with the Ten Commandments on the wall of a Court House. Along with the Manga Carta and the Constitution. All were a part of getting to where we are and in that concept, valid.

As for Transgenders, they are men and not women. They are playing dress up to the extreme and might feel to their deepest soul (can I say soul?) that they are who they say they are. But they aren't. Compassion is the Christian (Can I say Christian?) thing to do. Or Jewish or Hindu or Buddhist. But demanding that we treat them as they want in all aspects is bull schitte. Athletes? No way. They can push for acceptance, but not compliance on our part. They are moving the pendulum to far to the left.

Salty,
we partially disagree. You stated *** (There is no cure for homosexuality.) I would say that there is no known cure for homosexuality. I find many to be nauseating to be around. My choice. and yet, within certai social circles I may have to accept their presence and be polite. I don't have to like their ways of acting and over acting and reacting. I knew one in my social circles that I found very nice. Although he was quickly known as homosexual, he appeared and acted straight or normal if I can make that comparison. Then I saw him in action full blown horny gay man aggressively pushing himslef on what I thought was a straight guy. Like a crazed animal in heat. Right across the table from me. in the front window of a straight bar. I run into him weekly, and after that disgusting display, I just mostly ghost him. I make any conversation as little as possible and move on. I found that most gays tend to be over aggressive on occasion and entitled. Then think their schitte doesn't stink. But in the last ten or twenty years when being homosexual is more out in the open, they have gone to far in what they think they have a right to do. What we straight have to expect and accept. We don't. We have rights also. I'm against discrimination and am suffering from it right now. Baseless Covid discrimination like only VAX in restaurants. ***(discriminated against, anymore than any other minority in this blessed land.) But there are issues and times when I think people have a right to choice of association and hiring in limited areas.

A few -
Romans 1:26-27, 1 Corinthians 6:9, Jude 1-7

Perhaps you don’t understand what Jesus meant when he said the OT was fulfilled.

Homosexuality is just another temptation. Succumbing to it is the sin.

Logically, The Ten Commandments are essentially a religious document, and therefore should not be posted on government property, including court houses. They ought to be posted in your hearty if you are a Christian or Jew.

I understand that they are religious in origin. But they are the basis of laws that have come along over several millennium and even a part of the consciousness of those that wrote the Magna Carta and the Constitution. In that aspect, I believe they are appropriate. Stand alone, no. We'll have to respectively have to agree to disagree on that.

Rose42, The entire community of psychological professionals believe that homosexuality is not just another temptation. I know I have never been tempted by this condition. It is part of the character of an individual and can not be changed through religious belief, therapy or medication. In other words, if you believe in G-d, then you must believe that these folks were created to be the way they are, by G-d.

Rose42

The bible is the authority not man on what is sin.

Some are tempted but don’t act on it. Just as many are tempted by adultery but don’t act on it. Same goes for stealing, a bad temper, etc.
