TRANSGENDERISM, PROGRESSIVISM, AND GOD’S LAW by Rev. Matthew Powell

Bruce Jenner is not a woman. He is a man. Every single chromosome in his body records this fact. He can mutilate and poison himself all he likes, but he will remain a man. A badly damaged man, perhaps, but still a man. He can no more make himself a woman than I can make myself a giraffe.

Progressivism is basically rebellion against what is. Progressives try to rewrite human nature and human behavior to suit their preferences- not just in sexual matters but in all areas of life. When they inevitably fail, they do not reflect, do not consider that they were wrong, because the disease is not an intellectual one but a moral one. Instead they double down and seek to crush any dissenters from their utopian lie, believing those dissenters to be the cause of their failure. So now we are going to be told to believe that while homosexuality is genetic and unalterable, gender is not genetic, but purely a matter of individual choice that a person can decide for themselves, completely contrary to their actual genetics. Perhaps we will be told that there is an elusive “transgender” gene that overpowers the force of that “y” chromosome on every cell of the body.

Progressivism is organized rebellion against the law and rule of God. It is the systematic violation of the Ten Commandments. It is the rejection of the reality of the curse on man, and the attempts to overcome the effects of that curse by throwing off the law of God. It never works and will never work, because God is God, and His curse on mankind will stand, until man submits to Jesus Christ the Messiah and the remedy to the curse which He provides.

Promiscuous sex will always lead to horrible results. They can try to cure all the STDs, have expensive government programs to provide for the broken families, kill the unwanted babies, train the kids in “safe sex”, educate or force us to be approving of all the sad broken results of this madness like Bruce Jenner, pretend there is nothing weird at all about a 65 year old man calling himself Caitlyn and posing in a women’s magazine in a slinky dress, and provide psychotherapy to try to fix all the scarred and shattered souls. Finally they will set out to destroy anyone that continues to speak out against perversion and promiscuity, believing that our lack of full-throated approval for their evil is what causes all the associated ills. They think it’s our condemnation of their actions that causes those actions to have bad consequences. But breaking God’s Law, which defines reality itself, will always lead to horrible results, and no program of man can ever do more than put a bandaid on the gunshot wound. Every single person in the world could fully support and celebrate a 65-year-old man making himself a eunuch and God would still be God and the results will still be horrible. The bill will always come due in time. Math always wins, the arithmetic of God’s law doubly so.

The wages of sin is death, the Scriptures tell us. This is the reality of God’s economy, and no progressive attempts at redistribution will ever overcome God’s justice.
