Calvin Robinson, an outspoken Anglican deacon from UK, presents some extremely articulate TRUTH in answer to the woke culture. I took some notes while listening to a speech he gave.
Many members of society – perhaps the large majority, share the views of Calvin but may straggle to express these ideas as clearly and don’t always convey the compassion we feel.
A man is a man.
A woman is a woman.
You cannot change your sex, it’s in the entirety of your DNA, in all of your chromosomes; It’s in your emotional state; your mental state; it’s who you are.
The idea that someone can be in the wrong body is a misnomer. You are your body.
God made man and woman in His image.
Are there people who feel gender dysphoria? Yes. Should entire cultures bend to their feelings? No.
We can have tolerance without affirmation. They can live in whatever reality they choose, but they cannot expect others to join their reality nor allow them to push their reality on others.
When we wholeheartedly accept a false reality, we participate in grooming children towards sexual perversions.
An entire industry has mushroomed offering hormones, multiple surgeries, and medical care that will be required for life. People are profiting from the mutilation of children’s bodies.
This assault on children is a monstrous, demonic, wickedness. We do not condone chid grooming towards perversion, debauchery and degeneracy.
Compassion for people does not mean affirming their mental challenges, especially in schools.
No boundaries – If you accept that people ‘identify’ as anything other than what God made them, the boundaries are endless. They can identify as other genders, as a child, when an adult. Allowing such people in schools to influence children is extremely dangerous for children.
Adults are the ones who must draw the line. Children are immature, have great imagination, and are naturally explorative. They need adults who can point them to reality. The loving thing to do for children is to protect them from assault – whether of body or mind, and point them to the truth. Children are especially loved by God. Jesus clearly stated a dire warning to anyone who would participate in the harm of children: “It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied round their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke 17:2
These are hard truths to express. Anyone seeking to follow Jesus has great compassion for those who have been tricked into harming themselves. We cannot truly love if we passively stand by and don’t share insight into this carnage.
What can we do? As followers of Jesus we can be ardently PRO FAMILY. Pro Biblical marriage. Support families raising children. Encourage the younger generations to have children and raise them to fear and honor God. Support and help families that are homeschooling. In everything seek to live for the glory of God and not in fear. “The god of this world has blinded the minds of unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:4 We don’t hate the blind. We stand against the enemy, his servants, their works and the effects.
Becky Hastings collects information on health and tries her best to discover and share truth. By God’s grace, through Jesus Christ, I was saved, blessed with a husband of over 40 years, and five precious babies all grown up. I now get to delight as ten grandchildren grow! Together we can help each other discover a healthy path in this crazy upside down world.
