It is said that Thomas
Jefferson had a Bible where he simply blotted out the passages that he didn’t
believe. In his case, being a Deist of the Enlightenment, he had a problem with
the miracles of Jesus but otherwise believed that he agreed with Jesus’ teachings.
If you have a Bible where you have blotted out passages that you don’t believe,
and make no bones of having done so, you are an honest doubter of those
passages you don’t believe.
The Bible makes claims
on our sexual behavior, on our physical behavior and heart behavior in regard
to sexual interaction. Connected to that, the Bible makes claims on our gender,
what it means to be a husband and wife, what a man represents vs what a woman
represents in relation to God, and authority within the Church.
The Feminizers reject
those gender passages and thus operate with a partially blotted out Bible.
The problem is that they don’t admit it, and so their doubt in those passages is dishonest,
cloaked in pseudo-Scripture and context abuse to make it superficially seem
like they care about the whole of Scripture when they actually believe in
it selectively.
Either there is wisdom
in the Scriptures that clarify gender and gender role behavior or there is not.
Through God’s guidance, the Church needs to clarify the wisdom of the passages
against the challenge of the Feminizers.
The issue of gender is the gateway to the rest of leftism entering the
church. The church either confronts gender correctly or it caves on gender, and
then later caves to the rest of sexual leftism.
