Dear Father,
Thank you for this day. Not a lot is going on. Someone texted me a quote on my phone. Okay, so, people are pushing for a genderless bible. I think that’s ridiculous. It’s bad enough you can’t have people disagree with you, so you’re editing thousands of years of literary history and tradition.. so you won’t be offended?
Let me share the quote.
“Making a genderless bible is folly. The difference between’ child of God,’ and the ‘only Son of the Father,’ is the difference between a Christian and God Himself,” - Anonymous
I once had a professor who said,”Language matters. Grammar matters,” and she’s right.
People prefer “gay” to homosexual, they prefer “dreamer” to illegal immigrant. It’s not enough to change the appearance. They are altering our language to get us to think differently. People think the argument for marriage is over, but even homosexuals get “married”, if they are making vows to be faithful to each other in a relationship God forbids, often in His house. That is sacrilege at best, and perhaps blasphemy at worst.
Maybe they’ve won some battles, suppressed the truth, turned people’s hearts. Is it so bad for someone to disagree with them? If their arguments could stand on their own, they wouldn’t need to attack people when they disagree. Even science is against them, because only a male and a female can produce offspring together. And if it was really about rights? Why aren’t people clamoring for the rights of the mentally ill? That would’ve been the next logical step, the next needful step, but it will never happen, because it was never about rights. It’s been about chipping away at Christian values and the family. The family is the enemy of socialism, communism. Media has been making fathers look like idiots for decades. They are afraid of the family, so they are trying to subvert it. They are afraid of godly men, godly fathers.
They threatened to take away your tax exemption if your pastor at the pulpit preached anything that offended them. Well, in Arkansas, they’ve already taken away those exemptions. So, go ahead and preach. Because it’s the right thing to do. It will eventually get so bad you won’t be able to, and they will do what they threatened anyway, even if you don’t resist.
