Dealing Prudently With Gender Issues. Part [5] 04/20/2023 (Evening thought)

Deuteronomy 6:And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when you sit in thine house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

Whatever may be a person’s choice on gender issues, let it be known that a person’s conscience on all such matters is to be left free to choose. That said, there are satellite issues springing from a discussion of gender issues, for those parents, who still have children under their roof, will have to take a stand either this way or that, because until the son or daughter comes to the age of accountability, and reason, the parents are responsible for whatsoever goes on under their roof.

And churches, and religious institutions would also have to take a stand either this way or that, sooner or later, for there will be no middle ground by which we would be able to avoid making our conviction on such matters clear. Already, many athletes are facing a conundrum, by being urged against their will to wear rainbow-pride uniforms and arm bands.

 Thus, in cases where the issue has come home to a family, definitive decisions, and choices on the path moving forward would have to be made by parents or guardians who have jurisdiction over the children under their care. This is not a mere suggestion, it is the unadulterated word of God in such matters, because parents are to be responsible for their kids, until the children reach the age of accountability.

1st Samuel 3:12 In that day I will perform against Eli all things which I have spoken concerning his house: when I begin, I will also make an end. 13 For I have told him that I will judge his house for ever for the iniquity which he knoweth; because his sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not. 14 And therefore I have sworn unto the house of Eli, that the iniquity of Eli's house shall not be purged with sacrifice nor offering for ever.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!
