Is He, She a Man or Woman?

Can a man put on a dress and ‘say’ they are a woman and walla they are? What nonsense! Well, ‘The Tasmanian Anti-Discrimination board have made it clear that the attacks on women aren’t slowing down anytime soon.

Anti-discrimination commissioner Sarah Bolt has ruled that lesbian events must admit men who claim they are women into their events.

The Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual alliance tried to organise an event that would exclude “trans-women” – biological men – but was denied by Ms Bolt.

“Many lesbians feel uncomfortable having transgenders in their spaces, because they are not female; they are biological males,” organiser ​​Jessica Hoyle said.

“We are forced to have them in our groups but none of us want to date them … I feel discriminated against by Sarah Bolt on the basis of being a lesbian same-sex attracted (woman).”

You and I can see how ridiculous and dangerous this decision is. Protections for women and girls are being eroded at a terrifying pace.

And what happens to the women who try to stand up and protect our women and children? They’re labelled “TERFs” – tran-exclusionary radical feminists – and are subject to threats by transgender activists wearing t-shirts with slogans like “Kill the TERF” or “I punch TERFs”.

That’s right. Men dressed like women have been able to convince the world that their misogyny is in the name of equality. To fight back is to be ostracised and labelled as a “radical feminist”.

And who do you think the woke, politically correct crowd backs? Certainly not the women.

It is now politically correct to support misogyny, so long as it dresses like a woman.

Between men attempting to “chest-feed” newborns and the censorship of women defending sex-based rights, women and womanhood are under attack.

Men cannot breastfeed.

Men are not women.

Men’s “trans rights” should not be put before the safety of women and young girls.

Together we must stand up and fight back against these dangerous ideologies.’https://www.binary.org.au/

Simply Put, NZ is Anti-God the Creator

Genesis 5:2 Male and female created he them…

‘New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the right to vote in parliamentary elections. But now, 120 years on from that landmark moment for female equality, Kiwi women are fighting a rear-guard campaign to defend the meaning of the word ‘woman’.

As well as dealing with the fallout from the pandemic, Jacinda Ardern’s Labour government has been busy prioritising a bill that would effectively allow anyone to become a woman just because they wanted to. While Ardern is being cheered on by the transgender lobby, it has fallen to Speak Up for Women, a grassroots campaign group, to speak truth to power. Rather predictably, politicians seem unwilling to listen; worse, some are determined to stop anyone else hearing what these women have to say.

The group’s co-founder Beth Johnson is concerned that this legislation could be disastrous. ‘The gap between the intention of this law and the practicality of implementation is large enough to drive a prison bus through,’ she said. ‘How, in practice, is any agency, school, sports team or female‐only service provider meant to assess a person’s sex if not via their birth certificate?’

It’s a good question. But while liberals around the world fawn over Ardern’s ‘progressive’ government, it is one her administration has no answer to.

Tomorrow evening, Speak Up for Women’s nationwide tour of public meetings arrives in the capital, Wellington. To coincide with the event, the organisation raised NZ$5000 (£2,500) for a billboard carrying the dictionary definition, ‘woman: adult human female.’

So far, so harmless, you might think. But no. The advertisement, which went up on Monday, has provoked a furore. Yesterday, it was taken down following a targeted campaign against the advertising agency. Go Media’s general manager Simon Teagle explained that the billboard was removed when ‘offended New Zealanders’ complained:

‘While we believe in freedom of speech, we do not condone content that upsets our community. We apologise unreservedly for any distress this may have caused anyone and remedied the situation as soon we could.’

But what about the valid concerns of the ordinary women who make up Speak Up for Women? Hundreds of women contributed to the campaign to raise money for the advertisement which, despite containing words lifted straight from a dictionary, is considered beyond the pale. Johnson is indignant: ‘Why do these activists have so much power to intimidate businesses and women’s groups? Why is our government condoning this with their silence?’

If New Zealand’s government has been silent, local authorities are a different matter. Last week, the mayor of a city in the Wellington region posted on Facebook saying, ‘If this group needs a venue…I’ve got some nice new waste bins they can use?’

But Speak up for Women haven’t been deterred. Their meeting in Wellington is scheduledto go ahead tomorrow night. Johnson told me that the group’s events have been growing in size as they moved around the country, ‘They are mostly attended by women, but we have a few men and transsexuals attending. We expect the room to be at capacity, which is 140 people,’ she said.

Inevitably, protests are planned to take place outside. A group calling itself ‘Queer Endurance/ Defiance’ describes the campaign as an ‘anti-trans hate group’. But if my experience of similar events in the UK is anything to go on, the hate is likely to be outside the building, certainly not in the meeting. Groups like ‘Queer Endurance/ Defiance’ do not speak for trans people like me.

But while those brave women who do attend the meeting are likely to face abuse, members of Wellington City Council are far from sympathetic. Wellington mayor Andy Foster, backed by a number of councillors, has arrangedfor the centre to be lit in the colours of the transgender flag while the Speak Up for Women event takes place. Without irony, Foster explained that:

‘We are taking this action to ensure there is a voice for members of the gender diverse community, who do not normally have ready access to influence public opinion.’

In the middle of this circus, Speak Up for Women are simply trying to hold their meeting. Johnson told me that, ‘we would have no issue with this (decision to light up the building) if it was individuals exercising their own freedom of speech, but this is the power of the council trying to intimidate us again.’

How the transgender lobby became so powerful is a matter for debate, but they hold that power because too many people ignore what is happening, or they think that it does not matter. Perhaps they think what is happening in this gender debate is too ridiculous to be true. But it is true: women are being shamed for repeating a dictionary definition of the word ‘woman’, and meeting to discuss the implications on their rights as a sex. Speak Up for Women are making a stand and we need to stand with them.’https://spectator.com.au/2021/07/new-zealands-transgender-debate-is-turning-nasty/?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=MDS%20%2020210715%20%20SG&utm_content=MDS%20%2020210715%20%20SG+CID_e5f2ac870bf7e296c67a9eed42537152&utm_source=CampaignMonitor_Australia&utm_term=New%20Zealands%20transgender%20debate%20is%20turning%20nasty

Gender Confusion & Telling the Truth

This gender confusion issue pushed by the Left is out of control in many Australian states so the Australian Christian Lobby has printed pamphlets for distribution seeking to tell the truth.

However, the Victorian state ‘…Attorney-General Jacklyn Symes described the Australian Christian Lobby’s pamphlets on the recently passed Change or Suppression (Conversion) legislation as “hurtful, harmful and wrong.” However, she didn’t mention that the legislation bans LGBTIQA+ people who want help from getting help [Section 5(1)], and prosecutes parents who want to encourage their gender confused children to wait, rather than rushing into irreversible gender transitioning treatment [Section 64].

These ACL pamphlets seek to bring out truth and raise awareness in the community. And, LGBTIQA+ people should have the freedom to explore other options and seek counselling rather than limiting them to only one option – gender transitioning.

What is concerning about Section 5(1) of this legislation is that even those who consent to get help cannot get it. This harms LGBTIQA+ people by robbing them of their true freedom of choice.

In addition, Section 64 amends the Family Violence Protection Act 2008 to allow authorities to investigate and prosecute parents who help their children understand and be at ease with their own biological sex before deciding on gender transitioning treatments.

With gender theory being taught extensively in all state schools to children as young as primary level, children who return home with confusion over their gender will lose the opportunity to have proper conversation with their parents. Parents will either be forced to affirm their child’s preferred gender, or risk being investigated or prosecuted for “family violence” that is deemed to cause either emotional or psychological harm by “changing or suppressing” their child’s desired gender identity.

Out of love and care for families in the community, children, and the LGBTIQA+ community, the ACL pamphlets intend to help parents be aware of the danger of this legislation and avoid litigation. It is also ACL’s wish to advocate for the true freedom of gender confused children and the LGBTIQA+ community. If they are seeking help and consent to receive it, they deserve help in any form.

How are ACL’s pamphlets “hurtful, harmful and wrong” or “derogatory” and “appalling” when they tell the truth about passed legislation and reveal the hidden risks?

The Attorney-General and the Andrews Government should ask themselves why they are enacting a law that strips away the freedom to help others or seek help, and that prosecutes parents who want to parent with common sense and acknowledge biological facts.’https://www.acl.org.au/blog_jy_truthtellingflyers?utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=enews%20210706&utm_content=enews%20210706+CID_01d4d6fad0e98bc6d2da3b1f3661e247&utm_source=CreateSend&utm_term=Read%20about%20the%20stir%20theyre%20causing

LGBTQI Brainwashing of our Youth

Posted by whatyareckon on June 30, 2021

The Sodomites are out for our children and grandchildren. The longer this war continues the more the young people begin to believe this lifestyle is “normal” The following article outlines how this anti-god lifestyle is being pushed on the young. However, God is not mocked and there is a judgement coming.

‘The LGBT brainwashing and exploitation of children continues to escalate.

Here are 4 disturbing examples showing how kids are being brainwashed that the LGBT lifestyle is a moral good that should be applauded, promoted and experimented with…and 4 ways parents, grandparents and churches are responding.

The media has long been an advocate for LGBT acceptances among adults, but now it’s being promoted as a superior lifestyle choice…even for children. It’s making children unsure of who they are, their sexuality and beliefs.

Netflix, TV, movies and other entertainment have been platforms used to demonize Christians who support Biblical morality, and to promote instead the alternative lifestyle as a positive lifestyle choice to be embraced and not questioned.

But now the attention has shifted to an aggressive, extreme promotion to children.

Here are a few new examples:

1. Biden flies “gay” flag at U.S. embassies worldwide – schools across America are following his example.

The Vatican is outraged.

It’s a “moral” good to help teach kids in elementary school and up.

Other countries, Christians, and people who recognize the danger of taking a political stand by the U.S. Embassy are outraged.

But the “gay” flag flies next to or under the U.S. flag at foreign embassies worldwide based on Biden’s orders for the month of June or beyond.

Other government agencies in the U.S. are doing this also. This includes schools – public, government-run schools – in the classrooms and on the schools’ flagpoles.

Classrooms are displaying the gay flag. Schools are flying the gay flag.

2. Kellogg is marketing LGBT- themed cereal for kids.

For example, Tony the Tiger has a gay theme.

They are just one of many corporations. Chipotle has drag tacos.

3. Children’s TV shows and cartoons are using homosexual, lesbian and transgender characters.

  • Rugrats is being relaunched with Betty, the mother of two, as a lesbian, single mom.
  • Nickelodeon has “Blues Clues and You!” at a gay pride parade with an animated drag queen. The video includes families with two moms, two dads, trans-identified members and “ace, bi and pan” parents. One character has scars from transgender sex change surgery from female to male.

Disney channel, the Cartoon channel – no cartoon venue except Christian TV or apps is safe for kids.

4. Sports is promoting pro-gay political/cultural messages – kids’ “heroes.”

The San Francisco Giants team is playing in gay pride uniforms and their caps featuring “SF’ logo with colors of the gay flag, and also a patch on their jerseys.

This and more is a sad reflection of our society not only embracing secular humanism…but advocating a lifestyle at odds with a Biblical worldview – and many parents.

What’s your reaction? What’s the reaction of Christians? What’s the reaction of parents and grandparents? What’s the reaction of those who are concerned about this promotion to kids of any faith or persuasion?

There are four groups…four different responses.

1. Group #1: Ignore it.

Some may ignore and pretend it isn’t happening.

Churches and pastors will be silent and pretend nothing is happening.

Parents will be silent and pretend nothing is happening.

Grandparents will pretend nothing is happening.

The result?

The kids believe that the LGBT lifestyle is normal, that it is moral and to be encouraged.  

They will believe that they should experiment with the LGBT lifestyle to see if it’s right for them or not.

2. Group #2: Compromise with it.

Some churches, parents and grandparents are compromising their Biblical principles and are open to cultural change. They simply want to get along.

They prefer not to spark controversy.

For churches and pastors – cultural acceptance and not offending anyone about Biblical morality is a safer way to grow a church, generate donations and minister to their fellowship.

But that’s not what the Bible teaches.

The Bible is very clear about marriage.

It’s clear about marriage between a man and woman.

It’s clear about monogamous relationships.

It’s clear about male and female.

It’s clear that a Biblical worldview is at odds with gender dysphoria.

3. Group #3: Celebrate it.

Some churches, parents and grandparents celebrate these moves and claim that they are positive and loving.

But that is not what the Bible says.

The Bible says we are to declare God’s word and the Gospel without compromise.

I’m leading a Bible study now in the book of Philippians.

In the first chapter, in a culture in many ways not unlike what we’re facing today, the Apostle Paul talks about the mercy and grace of God.

He talks about the power of prayer. He talks about being bold and proclaiming the gospel and how the gospel was impacting the culture – even in Caesar’s household.

Paul did not compromise.

He did not contradict the Word of God for “acceptance.”

He stood firm. 

It’s critical that we stand firm as we teach the children and grandchildren to stand for Biblical morality.

It’s not going to happen at school. Not even Sunday school.

They need to understand the difference between what is right or wrong, based on Scripture.

They need to discern why the brainwashing is an attack against Biblical principles, and that the kids should know how to defend a Biblical worldview.

It’s important for kids to be able to stand firm, knowing that they will be called a bigot, a hater or worse.

Some Christians want to get along and have no conflict.

But that’s not what we see in the Bible.

And that’s not how we advance the gospel.

4. Group #4: Stand Firm against it.

Some pastors, churches, parents, and grandparents are standing firm.

They are standing against this injustice to children. They are speaking out.

  • Pastors and churches must teach their body the truth and equip their fellowship to stand firm…and mobilize to be a voice of truth.
  • Parents and grandparents must now teach their kids counter-cultural truth.
  • Help stop the Equality Act.
  • Know about some of the great materials addressing these issues with love and truth.
  • Joe Dallas is my favorite author, but there are many more.
  • Also groups – for example, look at changemovement.com for powerful videos of ex-gays, their testimonials and more.

Now is the time for everyone to stand firm.

Here is one other thing you can do now: Protect the kids and religious liberty by defeating the Equality Act.

Yes, elections have consequences:

‘Five years ago today, a young man opened fire in the in the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, on June 12, 2016, murdering 49 people and injuring another 53. NBC News reported Thursday that the Senate voted unanimously in favor of legislation designating the site a national memorial. Almost certain to be omitted from the memorial, however, as it has been from all the coverage of the legislation, is any information about the beliefs and motivations of the attacker. This is because the killer, a Muslim named Omar Mateen, was an Islamic jihadi, and in Old Joe Biden’s handlers’ America, jihad terrorism just doesn’t exist.

Pulse was a gay club, and so the massacre has been taken for granted from the beginning as an incident of anti-gay violence, although, as Tyler O’Neil recently explained, that is not actually what it was. Nevertheless, Biden’s handlers issued a statement today doggedly assuming that the attack was targeting gays as such, and scolding us yahoos once again to go easy on the “hate”: “We must drive out hate and inequities that contribute to the epidemic of violence and murder against transgender women — especially transgender women of color. We must create a world in which our LGBTQ+ young people are loved, accepted, and feel safe in living their truth.”

This has been the Left’s line on the massacre for years. In the immediate aftermath of the massacre, the ACLU’s ridiculous staff attorney Chase Strangio tweeted that the massacre was the fault of conservative Christians: “You know what is gross — your thoughts and prayers and Islamophobia after you created this anti-queer climate.”

All right. So “Islamophobia” and Christians are the problem, and Biden’s people want us to create a world where LGBTQ-and-all-that young people are loved and accepted. All right. Let’s create that world. Now let’s see. What might be one large belief system, followed with varying degrees of knowledge and fervor by over a billion people, that mandates the death penalty for homosexuality? No, not Christianity, despite its status as the favored whipping boy of the besotted ideologues such as Strangio and the LGBTQ-whatever lobby. While Christianity sees homosexual activity (and all sexual activity outside of a marriage between a man and a woman) as sinful, it does not call for the death of homosexuals.’https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/06/congress-votes-to-make-pulse-nightclub-site-of-jihad-massacre-a-national-memorial-2

Bible believing Christians leave the judgement for the JUDGE Himself!

Christians, Sodomy, Suicide & Salvation

The Roys Report recently carried an article regarding the suicide of former pastor Steve Austin which may be read here https://julieroys.com/mourn-steve-austin-pastor-mental-health/?mc_cid=3a59c84512&mc_eid=b13d34ad49

As I went through the article at least two points jumped out at me and they were (1) mental illness and (2) sexuality. The mention of these two spoke volumes about Steve Austin and sadly this story is that of many others who professed to be a Christian and have committed suicide. This may seem harsh, but, as God’s Word tells us 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

Therefore, let’s ask first: What is mental illness? Well, “even the writers of psychology’s authoritative manual on mental illness, The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM), cannot agree on what constitutes a mental illness.” The same writer continues to say “The definition of mental illness can be changed so easily because mental illness does not really exist.”https://biblicalcounseling.com/resource-library/articles/can-jesus-heal-mental-illness-part-1/

Bible believing people accept that we are made in the image of the Creator and one of the attributes we possess is that of thinking. Jesus said in Matthew 15:19, 20 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies: 20 These are the things which defile a man.

Our mind (heart) is the place where our thoughts are produced and then proceed. It sounds cruel but bluntly these people who profess to be Christians and are stuck on mental illness and sexuality have NEVER been saved.  Romans 10:9,10 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. NOTE the word RIGHTEOUSNESS.

The Apostle straight out tells us that unregenerate people have depraved sexual preferences. Romans 1:24-28 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. 26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

These people have wars within due to not being saved but trying to live what they consider or perceive to be Christianity. Again, the Apostle to the Gentiles wrote in Romans 5:1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: and 8:6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the “churches” have accepted the lies of the world there are those who are trying to live a Christian life according to their own terms without turning from sin to Christ! The church at Thessalonica is an example as Paul wrote in 1Thessalonians 1:9 For they themselves shew of us what manner of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God.

We will see more of these suicides because so much of contemporary Christianity has thrown away Biblical Theology to swallow the Kool Aid of the world’s psychology.

Fake, fradulant ‘President Joe Biden issued a presidential proclamation in recognition of LGBT Pride Month, touting the large number of LGBT individuals who serve in his administration and slamming state laws that prohibit biological males from competing in girls’ sports.’https://www.christianpost.com/news/biden-slams-girls-sports-bills-in-pride-month-proclamation.html?uid=d3769f0ce2&utm_source=The+Christian+Post+List&utm_campaign=CP-Newsletter&utm_medium=email

Here’s more of the same story. This ‘...school secretly reported its chaplain to the anti-terrorism Prevent programme after he delivered a sermon defending the right of pupils to question its introduction of new LGBT policies.

The Reverend Dr Bernard Randall told pupils at independent Trent College near Nottingham that they were allowed to disagree with the measures, particularly if they felt they ran contrary to Church of England principles.

Among them was a plan to ‘develop a whole school LGBT+ inclusive curriculum’.’https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9557845/School-reports-chaplain-telling-pupils-theyre-allowed-disagree-LGBT-teaching.html

Yes, legalizing so-called same sex marriage has opened a BIG CAN of WORMS! Now, ‘A Christian wedding photographer has filed a complaint against New York over a state law that requires her to service same-sex wedding ceremonies despite her religious objections.

Emilee Carpenter of Emilee Carpenter Photography sued multiple state officials, with the lawsuit being filed Tuesday in the United States District Court for the Western District of New York.

Named defendants include New York Attorney General Letitia James; Jonathan J. Smith, interim commissioner of the New York State Division of Human Rights; and Weeden Wetmore, district attorney of Chemung County.

At issue, according to the litigation, are provisions in state law that require businesses like Carpenter’s to provide services. This included New York Executive Law § 296.2(a), which “unlawful discriminatory practices … because of” sexual orientation in “any place of public accommodation.”

“… the Accommodations Clause forces Emilee to celebrate same-sex engagements or weddings and would require her to promote messages that violate her religious beliefs or require her to participate in religious ceremonies that violate her religious beliefs, something she cannot do,” stated the lawsuit.’https://www.christianpost.com/news/wedding-photographer-sues-ny-over-lgbt-anti-discrimination-law.html?uid=d3769f0ce2
