Truth Is An Old Drum! - Exodus 20:16

   
“You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.” - Exodus 20:16

            I’ve got to tell you, I’m just sick to death over all this “transgender” nonsense! Does anyone understand how ridiculous it is to suggest that a person who was born with male genitalia is in reality . . . a female!?!? Stop right now and think about that! Obviously, the inverse is just as ridiculous. “So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” - Genesis 1:27-28
    If the bodies of ten men claiming to be women are recovered from the smoldering ashes of an inferno, DNA analysis, and a 1st -year med student’s pelvic examination will determine that ten men died in that fire . . . not ten women. They will dig themselves a highway to hell and not find the remains of a single woman unless a woman in all the physicality of a female member of the human species was present during the conflagration. As I have often said, “You can call an alligator a refrigerator all you want to, but I wouldn’t stick my head in there to get left-overs.” Would you insist that a rattlesnake is, in fact, a kitten? Would you allow your child to handle it?
    Here is a simple but undeniable fact: gender identity, while having a mental identification normally associated with the actual sexual identification of the individual is clearly distinguished by the reality of a physical identification! In other words, regardless of what someone says, we cannot deny the reality, the truth. To do so is to countenance a lie, a deliberate lie! But, “No!”, they say. “It’s not a lie.” Well if their deception isn’t a deliberate lie then it can only be madness. Either way, it contradicts the most holy living God and God is neither a liar nor a madman. And since madness is a mental illness that can neither be encouraged or validated then it is as deadly as a lie! Who would willingly drink such poison?
    So what is a lie? According to Dictionary.com, a “lie” is - a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive; an intentional untruth; a falsehood. The key words here are deliberate and intentional, as in a deliberate and intentional attempt to deceive. As the term “lie” is defined, it falls under the prohibitions laid down by the Ninth Commandment. Among those prohibitions is giving false evidence. “A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who speaks lies will not escape.” - Proverbs 19:5. In a related verse, Leviticus 19:11 goes on to say, “You shall not steal, nor deal falsely, nor lie to one another.”
    As Christians, we are commanded not to countenance a lie. If we do so, we are as guilty as the liar! We would become those “who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.”- Romans 1:32. The truth isn’t the truth because I say it is; it’s true because it is the truth - the absolute truth! Lies have their wellspring in but one author - “You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” - John 8:44.
    So we are left with the continuing battle between the Spirit of Truth and the world, the flesh, and the devil. And no matter what the world demands, we know what Christ Jesus has declared - “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” - John 16:33.
    And so we continue to fight against the lie of transgenderism and every other sexual sin. Many have said that we are fighting a losing battle, that we are beating an old drum, that the Sexual Revolution has won. Brothers and sisters, the truth is most certainly an old drum but it sounds the battle with clarity and unmistaken conviction! Let us continue to pound upon this old drum until the victory is secured and the ears of both the enemy and the faithful are opened once again and finally to the sounds of the truth!
