Gender Identity or Gender Idolatry?

The latest schtick pursued by the LBGTQIA-Sodomite strata of human perversion is what is known as “Gender Identity.”

It is defined accordingly:

Gender is the way someone identifies internally and how they choose to express themselves externally. People can use their appearance, clothing style, and behaviors to express the gender they identify with.

In other words, Gender Identity is all in a person’s head, has nothing to do with what a person is biologically, and everything to do with thumbing its idolatrous nose at God, who had long-ago addressed the subject by revealing, first of all, that such persons were ungodly, unrighteous suppressors of the truth (Rom 1:18).

That because God can be known in his creation—which would include every man, woman, and child created in the image of God—impenitent rebellion in the heart of every unregenerate human being has led fallen humanity to reject what God has revealed.

He-She-They-It

Therefore, when those same persons outwardly “express” their rebellion by claiming to be something they are not, there are no excuses left to justify their actions. Why?

Because they know God and what His creation is supposed to be about—namely to glorify God—but believing themselves to be wiser and more intelligent than God, they became thankless reprobates and their foolish hearts were darkened (Rom 1:21).

What started in their hearts and heads devolved down the slippery slope to idolatrous outward activity, whereby they started worshiping themselves and the things of the fallen world.

Their punishment, which culminates in the fires of hell (1 Cor 6:9), is that God gave them over to their perverted minds to dishonor their bodies among themselves.

Homosexuality—and all the “queer” associations that accompany it, including gender identity, transgenderism, non-binary, et cetera—is a sin against God’s truth in exchange for a lie that leads to the worship and service of the creature, rather than God himself.

It is such a lie that God managed to destroy whole cities in the Old Testament committed to the perversion, which, by the way, became the object lesson and identifying term that was used to label the “abominable” (Lev 18:22; 20:13) sexual perverts of God’s created order.

That is until God’s truth was suppressed again, and the Sodomites were successful in rebranding and muddling their sin under different, more sophisticated, although confusing terminology.

But, just because the terms have been changed to justify the wicked does not mean that God’s judgment has changed accordingly.

Gender identity is nothing more than gender idolatry, even though some are appropriately calling the former “child abuse.”

It is a sin against God, humanity, and nature, that starts by exchanging the truth for a lie, and ends with a death sentence (Rom 1:32).

All one has to do is “identify” with his-her baser nature and start down the idolater’s path to find out the full extent of such a sentence.
