Why is there such a big push to wipe out male and female? I don't get it.
Is it to rebel, because people love sin or is there something more to it?
I know of someone who is female and is on hormone tablets to become a male. She wants to look like a male (even though she never will. She/he is far too petite) but does not want to have the operation. Her partner is also female and, yeah I just dont get it
Well it's a direct attack on God's created order.. the family unit is essential to any fully functioning society. Plus as God's image bearers we are to reflect His glory.. If we destroy what he has decreed and created we are rebelling against Him.
Paul in Romans explains the situation Romans 1:18-32. Have a read and you will see it for yourself.
v18 - The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness,
v21-22 - For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
v24 - Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.
v26-27- Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
v28 - Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
And here we see that not only do all people do the above but they love it and even cheer on everyone else in their endeavours.
V 32 - Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.
When people and particularly communities and nations leave God, they become increasingly more sinful God leaves to their own devices.. verse 28 is explicit in telling us that God himself gives them over to their depraved minds... they will get worse and worse.
Just remember that although things may look like a hopeless situation, God is in control. God knows what he is doing. For the good of His glorious name and for His children's good. We know this as it is God who gives them (sinful people) over to their depraved minds.
Psalm 2 would be a good read.
Anyhow, It should give Christians all the more reason to be on their knees in prayer and being a light in their own communities.
Anyhow, time for a cuppa....any cakes on the go???
