The trial of the false gods
In Isaiah 41:23-24, the Lord sets Himself up against false gods, false religions, and ultimately, the idolaters engaged in false worship. This is what the Lord says:
“Tell us what is to come hereafter, that we may know that you are gods; do good, or do harm, that we may be dismayed and terrified. Behold, you are nothing, and your work is less than nothing; an abomination is he who chooses you.”
Any ideology or religion that rejects the True and Living God is a false religion that aims to replace the Lord and rob Him of the glory He alone deserves. The reason the Lord challenges the false gods in Isaiah 41 is because they have set themselves in opposition to God. All false religions adhere to the same broad categories and tenets, and there will always be some “god” that rules over his “people” (see here). For example, Statist-Scientism has its own false gods and theological framework (see here). I believe Christians would do well to understand these realities.
A new gnostic cult
In the last five years, we have seen the emergence of a new religion that has captured the education system, medical establishment, legacy media, entertainment industry, and the State. It’s really a Gnostic sex-cult rooted in ancient beliefs. It rejects the truth that the Lord is the Creator, who has a specific design and purpose for male and female sexuality. It elevates personal experience and internal beliefs above and beyond objective truth and observable reality. I am speaking, of course, of transgender ideology, or as I prefer to call it, Transianity.
The pagan self-definition of Transianity is this: “Transgender is an umbrella term for persons whose gender identity, gender expression or behavior does not conform to that typically associated with the sex to which they were assigned at birth.” In other words, rather than grounding one’s self identity upon what is objective and immutable (their biological sex), they opt instead to ground their identity on some secret knowledge that does not comport with reality. The individual determines their own reality, and they believe they can speak it into being.
Outlining the philosophical and cultural steps that have led to this new religion would be the subject of entire university courses, so I’ll try to keep it simple. Emmanual Kant (1724-1804) popularized the idea that our internal experience should dictate both our identity and external reality, and this should be done independently from societal constraints imposed upon us. Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900), famous for saying “God is dead,” believed that the secularism borne out of the Enlightenment (and men such as Kant) was a triumph for humans, and as such, his goal was to “unmask” and undermine Western morality, religion, and thought. Simone de Beauvoir (1908-1986) was one of the first philosophers to postulate that biological sex and gender were separate and distinct. Michel Foucault (1926-1984) gave rise to the idea that we are to reject any and all ideas of objectivity and truth, and with a broad skepticism we should view everything in the external world as subjective. John Money (1921-2006), while taking his cue from “sexologist” Alfred Kinsey (he believed infants have orgasms and pedophilia/incest don’t harm children), was one of the first doctors to openly experiment on the sexuality of children and study a boy who had been raised as a girl from birth. That brings us to today, with an alleged 107 distinct gender identities (according to Wikipedia as of time of writing).
Tranny systematic theology
I have to say again that Transianity is not merely a political tool, or a theory of sexuality, or a philosophical construct – it is a full-blown, Satan-worshipping, life-destroying worldview and religious system. In fact, when we examine Transianity closely, what we find are all of the basic components of any religious system. To be even more specific, Transianity is a grotesque, mutated version of Biblical Christianity. Transianity is a deformed and vile copy of Christianity, set up as some sort of Bizzarro mockery. When we line up Christian doctrine with the Tranny systematic theology, this becomes quite clear.
God – The individual is the god of the system. Just as the true God spoke the world into existence, so this lesser god speaks its feelings or experience into what an individual claims is reality. It goes something like this: “Although I am in a male body, because I desire it to be so, I will declare that I am a woman, and it shall be, because I have said it.”
Holy book – Just as the Christian Scriptures are a compilation of books from different authors, so the Tranny scriptures consist of several books from a variety of authors. “The Second Sex” by Simone de Beauvoir claims as its main thesis that “one is not born but becomes woman.” “Gender Trouble” by Judith Butler states that gender and desire can be “flexible, free floating and not caused by other stable factors.” Another example would be “Gender Outlaw” by Kate Bornstein, where she boldly writes, “When God says no to your harmless desires, it’s time to get another God.”
Original sin – In Transianity, the original sin plaguing humanity is the reality of cisnormativity, or the belief that God’s design for human sexuality is both normal and preferred. This is a damnable sin, because it has led to, according to Trannies, the oppression of minorities and the victimhood of oppressed people groups. People who do not repent of their cisnormative beliefs are enemies of the truth, and they will suffer for their disobedience.
Salvation – If cisnormativity is the great sin that condemns us, the only hope of salvation is found in an inclusive attitude toward all sexual preferences and desires, the wholesale dismantling of patriarchal systems and institutions, and becoming an ally of 2SLGBTQAIP+ people.
Catechism – Transianity is committed to catechizing their people with memorable slogans and pithy sayings. Some examples of these, which I am sure you have heard, include, “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” “Protect Trans Kids,” “Trans Rights are Human Rights,” “Trans Lives Matter,” “Trans Rights or else.” These are repeated as Trannies gather to honour their god and while they evangelize the heathen into their religion.
Prophets and Priests – The prophets of Transianity are the politicians and media personalities that teach us what has come down from atop Mount Trans. They show us what their god has said to be true, and how we are doomed to destruction if we continue to disobey their god and not repent of our sins. The priests are those medical “experts” who tell us what we must do to be acceptable and clean. There is a holiness code for both the Tranny and the Cisnormative, and each of them must abide by the code if they wish to attain salvation.
Sacraments – The sacraments in Transianity are visceral and physical. In Christian belief, Jesus sacrificed His own life for the salvation of His people, and that included the destruction of His physical body – He was cut, bruised, and torn apart; he bled and became almost unrecognizable. Trans sacraments are just as bloody and painful. These include physical castration, double mastectomies, chemical sterilization, removing skin and muscle from various body parts to form neo-genitals, genital mutilation, and hysterectomies, and believe you me, there is plenty of blood that is shed as a result. And people will be left totally unrecognizable.
The glory of the new birth
The false and competing religion of Transianity is an insatiable beast that will devour not only those who fall victim to its lies (including children), but also those who rebel against it with an insistence that the Lord alone gets to define sexual norms and sexual ethics. We saw this monster roar when Bill C-4 was passed in Canada, essentially outlawing the call for sexual sinners to turn from their sin and obey God. Transianity has become the religion of the land, its idols have been set up all over our country, and even their flag is waved higher than any other.
What is the Christian to do? How do we respond to this false religion that is quite literally destroying countless lives? The same way the Church has always combatted false religions, with the preaching of the truth of the Word of God and the proclamation of the saving power of the Gospel. We don’t fight this spiritual battle by voting the right people in. We can’t just put better laws into place and make people abide by Christian principles. No, we have a more intensive and less glamorous task ahead of us – evangelism, discipleship, and sanctification.
This is what the Word of God declares to be true: “Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the Kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.” – 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Transianity will not defeat the Church; Jesus promised nothing will stop His Kingdom. Eventually, Transianity, like all false religions, will be relegated to the dustbin of history. For the time being, although it seems like a behemoth, our hope is that the Gospel is able to save to the uttermost, including the most zealous Tranny. We preach Christ, and by God’s grace, people will be washed in the waters of regeneration, sanctified by the Spirit of God, and justified before God the Father while covered in the righteousness of God the Son.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When evildoers assail me to eat up my flesh, my adversaries and foes, it is they who stumble and fall. Though an army encamp against me, my heart shall not fear; though war arise against me, yet I will be confident.” - Psalm 27:1-3
Last year I worked in a store that was CLEARLY a store aimed for girls; pink everywhere, tiaras, sparkly, fuzzy, bedazzled jewelry, dolls and plushies, etc...BUT it was the poison of parents (usually moms) bringing their sons into the store that absolutely disgusted me. The boys were pulling against the parent bringing them in protesting that it was a “girl’s store and they didn’t want to go in” but the parent would use it as a ‘teachable’ moment to let them know it was okay to like these things and it would be good for them to pick something in the store that they liked. Sometime they would even convince their boys to get their ears pierced in the store, with sparkly heart studs, it was like the parent’s badge of honour to have a son who embraced this trans culture. Oh how they would be revered at the next PTA meeting for having a son who is starting to identify as female 🙄
Where I was unable to say anything against the way that these parents were raising their children, I would help the boys shop to pick something from the “girlie store” by brining them to our gamer display that had Mario, Sonic and other items that usually catches young boy’s attention!
Childhood is already hard enough with added ‘gender pressure’. You either gave birth to a boy or a girl. Celebrate the healthy baby and raise them to be kind, generous, respectful, obedient to their parents and to love truth.
Biology is very clear that this trans culture is not the truth. It is the latest fad and pop culture norm for this generation and that’s all it will ever be.
