Dealing Prudently With Gender Issues. Part [18] 04/26/2023 (Morning thought)

Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.

Question [3]: If the laws of a particular state offer the freedom of choice to underage children on gender issues, should Godly parents comply with Caesar’s law, or are they to affirm an “It is written” in their households, even if there are penalties or adverse consequences including losing custody of a child?

As was clearly stated in response to the two former questions parents and guardians retain the freedom of choice in any matter of conscience, and they are free to choose either the good or the evil, if they so choose. However, sooner or later, persons who genuinely believe in The Lord Jesus, would discover that in all matters which pertain to salvation, the conscience, worship, and truth, very clear lines of distinction will have to made so that it would be unmistakably clear where we stand on this or that issue.

In instances where the state, or Caesar commands parents to do that which is directly contrary to the word of God and sound doctrine, parents have the sacred duty to disobey Caesar, in deference to God. There are many things which have become “Legal” with the support of law, but that does not mean to say that we must surrender truth to comply in every instance.

 Matthew 10:37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And he that takes not his cross and follows after me, is not worthy of me. 39 He that finds his life shall lose it and he that loses his life for my sake shall find it.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
