Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.
1 Corinthians 1:20-21
How wise is this world? The world threatens to “cancel” Christianity because we believe the Bible about such things as gender. Christianity and the Bible are not new. In fact (with precious few exceptions) the main stream of the human race has understood the obvious concerning gender.
(a) There are two: male and female. (b) Whatever gender one is born as is what that person is for life. Gender cannot be changed, denied, renamed, or redefined.
Compare that with the new idea that there are multiple genders, that gender is a social construct, is based on feelings, and can be changed. This idea has only gained popularity in the last 2-3 years—and it keeps morphing.
Those who embrace this new idea insist that Christians who believe the Bible are intolerant, non-inclusive, hateful, and must be “canceled” (excluded from the conversation).
Who is intolerant again? Though we are condemned for being on “the wrong side of history,” the “woke” crowd knows nothing of history (apart from the last five minutes)!
We must be prepared to be marginalized more and more for our historic Christian beliefs. I pray that we will not cave in to be accepted by those who hate Christ and His Word. Christianity appears to be headed in the direction of being “cancelled.” But the wisdom of God is eternal and the wisdom of this world is not only fleeting, but foolish.
Though the Church is hated by those who disagree with God,
we must not hate those who suffer with gender confusion issues.
These dear souls need our compassion and our prayers.
