17. The TRANSGENDER Movement- Gender Revolution and Religious Liberty Threaten.pdf

1. THE TRANSGENDER
MOVEMENTTransgenderism Activists detach gender from biology. Kids down to
kindergarten are being taught their body is irrelevant to their authentic self.
Your real sex is what you choose to be and not what your born with.-Antonio Bernard Part 17

2. THE GENDER
REVOLUTION

3. “ But before they lay down, the men of the
city, even the men of Sodom, compassed
the house round, both old and young, all
the people from every quarter. …Even
thus shall it be in the day when the
Son of man is revealed.”
Genesis 19:4,Luke 17:30
SODOM AND GOMORAH

5. “Childhood is the season in which the most abiding impressions
may be made. What the child sees and hears is drawing deep
lines upon the tender mind, which no after circumstances in life
can entirely efface. The intellect is now taking shape, and the
affections receiving direction and strength…”
-Good Health, January 1, 1880.

6. “Repeated acts in a given course become habits. These may be
modified by severe training, in after life, but are seldom changed.
The whole future course of thousands is determined by the
education received from
the parents in childhood.”-Good Health, January 1, 1880.

7. “ At an early age the path of virtue is entered upon, which leads to
honor and eternal life; or the path of disobedience and vice, which
leads
to unhappiness, dishonor, and the ruin of the soul.”
-Good Health, January 1, 1880.

8. “We are living in an unfortunate age for
children. A heavy current is setting downward
to perdition, and more than childhood's
experience and strength is needed to press
against this current and not be borne down by
it. The youth generally seem to be Satan's
captives, and he and his angels are leading
them to certain destruction.”
Testimonies for the church,
Vol 1, page 397
SATAN’S CAPTIVES

27. ‘Human laws will be made so stringent that men and women
…will For fear of wanting food and clothing, they will join with
the world in transgressing God's law. The earth will be wholly
under my dominion.” Prophets and Kings, page 184.2

28. “I wish to tell you that soon there will be no work done
in ministerial lines but medical missionary work.”
—Counsels on Health, 533 (1901). LDE 80.3

29. “I have been shown that Satan is stealing a march
upon us. The law of God, through the agency of
Satan, is
to be made void. In our land of boasted freedom,
religious liberty will come to an end.”

30. “Our time for work is limited, and God calls us as ministers and people to
be minutemen. Teachers as wise as serpents and as harmless as doves
must come to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord against the
mighty. There are
many who do not understand the prophecies relating to these days,
and they must be enlightened.”—Letter 1, 1875. Ev 237.1

31. BAKE ME A CAKE, YOU B

47. Average Americans who hold that marriage is a union
between one man and one woman have undergone
costly lawsuits or even lost their livelihoods
because of their convictions.
The most high-profile example is from Gill's Colorado.
Jack Phillips, owner of Masterpiece Cakeshop, won
at the Supreme Court after the Colorado Civil Rights
Commission accused him of discrimination for refusing
to bake a custom cake for a same-sex wedding
ceremony.
Similar cases have arisen in Washington, New Mexico,
Michigan, Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona, and Georgia,
involving florists, photographers, wedding venue
owners, videographers, web designers,
calligraphers, and public servants.

48. Meanwhile, faith-based foster care and adoption
agencies in Pennsylvania, New York, Illinois, California,
Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia have been
forced to shut down for operating according to their
religious beliefs about marriage further exacerbating
our current foster-care crisis.
Now, cases are emerging involving Americans who have
suffered consequences for holding that sex is a biological
reality.
Catholic hospitals in New Jersey and California were
sued for refusing to perform hysterectomies on otherwise
healthy females who wanted to pursue gender transition.
A third Catholic hospital in Washington settled after the
ACLU sued it for declining to perform a double
mastectomy and chest-reconstruction
surgery on a 16-year-old girl.

49. A teacher in Virginia was fired for failing to use a
female student's preferred masculine pronouns. A
professor in Ohio was disciplined for doing the same.
Female high school athletes in Connecticut lost the
state championship to a pair of biological males who
self-identified as females.
A homeless shelter for abused women in Alaska has
been sued for refusing to admit a biological male. In
Michigan and Florida, women lost their memberships
at Planet Fitness when they questioned sharing locker
rooms with biological males under the gym's
transgender bathroom policy.

50. Meanwhile, in Illinois, California, and Vermont, foster
parents are expected to provide children suffering
from gender dysphoria with transition-affirming
therapies over parents' medical or moral objections.
That suggests that adherence to radical gender
ideology could become a new litmus test for parental
fitness.
In fact, in Ohio, a judge removed a 17-year-old girl
from her parents' custody after they refused to sign
their daughter up for testosterone treatments. The
judge did so even without a state sexual orientation
and gender identity policy.

51. If a federal sexual orientation and gender
identity policy were to politicize medicine across
the country, parental rights could be at stake
here, too.
It's worth noting that all of this has happened
without a federal sexual orientation and gender
identity policy. The federal Equality Act would
only make this bad situation worse.
Lawmakers ought to oppose any kind of federal
sexual orientation and gender identity anti-
discrimination law.

52. “ONE OF SATAN’S END TIME WORDS”
TOLERANCE

53. TOLERANCE
One of the Key Words In the End Times

54. TOLERANCE
“Tolerance” is an interesting word. Its first
meaning is the “capacity to endure pain or
hardship”; its second meaning is to “show
sympathy or indulgence for beliefs or practices
differing from or conflicting with one’s own.”

55. TOLERANCE
In recent years, this second meaning has segued
into an atmosphere that forbids open discussion of
one’s personal views, if those views differ from a
militant minority.

56. TOLERANCE
If so, those views are considered automatically
intolerant! Censorship, in a backhanded way, soon
trails the skirts of “tolerance.” The expression of
opposing views, for many, becomes “ hate
speech;” thus, the expression of different opinions
(no matter what the evidence is)
reveals intolerance!

57. TOLERANCE IN THE ENDTIME
A student at Boalt Hall, the law school of the University of California–Berkeley,
thinks that a long-term trend is developing, in that any dissent from the gay agenda
constitutes a form of illegitimate speech: “An opinion contrary to the majority opinion
at Boalt in favor of gay rights might be treated as the
equivalent of racist hate speech.” Or open debate on the subject “would
be treated as creating a hostile work environment.”

58. TOLERANCE IN THE ENDTIME
A All this leads to a society so “ tolerant” that a legitimate discussion regarding
biblical morality would quickly move beyond free discussion to political
incorrectness, to coercion and oppression. In the context of the great controversy,
such a strategy by Satan is exactly what might be expected in the end time, even in
a land that probably has the strictest “ free speech” laws in the world!.
-Cited in John Leo, “ Coercion on Campus,” U.S. News & World Report, May 15, 2000.

59. TOLERANCE IN THE ENDTIME
How would anyone have the freedom to discuss historical , Medical
accuracy and biblical interpretation in a society that forbids any negative
remarks about anybody else’s religion or personal beliefs
which may be factually right or factually wrong ?

60. “ By the cry, Liberality [or, tolerance, open-mindedness], men are blinded to the
devices of their adversary, while he [Satan] is all the time working steadily for the
accomplishment of his object. As he succeeds in supplanting the Bible by human
speculations, the law of God is set aside, and the churches are under the
bondage of sin while they claim to be free.”
—The Great Controversy, 522.

61. “The position that it is of no consequence what men believe is
one of Satan's most successful deceptions. He knows that the
truth, received in the love of it, sanctifies the soul of the receiver;
therefore he is constantly seeking to substitute false theories,
fables, another gospel.” -The Great Controversy , page 529.2

62. 'Tolerance And Apathy Are The Last
Virtues Of A Dying Society' - Aristotle

63. Tolerance is the last virtue of a
depraved society. When you have an
immoral society that has blatantly,
proudly, violated all of the
commandments of God, there is one
last virtue they insist upon: tolerance
for their immorality.

64. We are now in a post-modern age. The “new
tolerance” means this: Not only do you put up
with and endure and bear with those who
have different views, habits, and/or lifestyles
than your own, but you must agree with their
views, as well.

65. Furthermore, you hold that their lifestyle is
equally true and equally valid as your own
and, therefore, there is no possible way that
you could be intolerant because there is
nothing to be intolerant of. Furthermore, you
must even be willing to promote and endorse
that other lifestyle, since it is allegedly every
bit as good as yours.

66. We have ridiculed the absolute truth of Your Word and called it Pluralism.
We have worshipped other gods and called it multiculturalism.
“ We have endorsed perversion and called it alternative lifestyle.
“ We have exploited the poor and called it the lottery.
“ We have rewarded laziness and called it welfare.
“ We have killed our unborn and called it choice.
“ We have shot abortionists and called it justifiable.

67. “ We have neglected to discipline our children and called it building self-esteem.
“ We have abused power and called it politics.
“ We have coveted our neighbor’s possessions and called it ambition. ”
“ We have polluted the air with profanity and pornography and
called it freedom of expression.

68. “Those who are unwilling to accept the plain, cutting truths of the Bible are
continually seeking for pleasing fables that will quiet the conscience. The less
spiritual, self-denying, and humiliating the doctrines presented, the greater the
favor with which they are received. These persons degrade the intellectual powers
to serve their carnal desires.” GC 523.2

69. “Too wise in their own conceit to search the Scriptures with contrition of soul and
earnest prayer for divine guidance, they have no shield from delusion. Satan is
ready to supply the heart's desire, and he palms off his deceptions in the place of
truth.” GC 523.2

70. “It was thus that the papacy gained its power over the minds of men; and by
rejection of the truth because it involves a cross, Protestants are following the
same path. All who neglect the word of God to study convenience and policy, that
they may not be at variance with the world, will be left to receive damnable heresy
for religious truth.”GC 523.2

71. “Every conceivable form of error will be accepted by those who willfully reject the truth. He
who looks with horror upon one deception will readily receive another. The apostle Paul,
speaking of a class who “received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved,”
declares: “For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a
lie: that they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in
unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12. With such a warning before us it behooves us

73. Isaiah 59 King James Version (KJV)
3 For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have
spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered perverseness. 4 None calleth for justice, nor any
pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring
forth iniquity.

74. Isaiah 59 King James Version (KJV)
7 Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their
thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.8 The
way of peace they know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have
made them crooked paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.

75. Isaiah 59 King James Version (KJV)
9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for
light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.10 We grope
for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noon
day as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.11 We roar all like
bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for
salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against
us: for our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know
them;13 In transgressing and lying against the Lord, and departing away from
our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart
words of falsehood.

76. Isaiah 59 King James Version (KJV)
14 And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for
truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter.15 Yea, truth faileth; and he
that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the Lord saw it, and it
displeased him that there was no judgment.16 And he saw that there was no
man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought
salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

77. Isaiah 59 King James Version (KJV)
17 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation
upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and
was clad with zeal as a cloak.18 According to their deeds, accordingly he will
repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he
will repay recompence.

78. The flames that consumed the cities of the plain shed their warning
light down even to our time. We are taught the fearful and solemn
lesson that while God's mercy bears long with the transgressor, there
is a limit beyond which men may not go on in sin. When that limit is
reached, then the offers of mercy are withdrawn, and the ministration
of judgment begins. PP 162.3

79. The A sin-hating God calls upon those who profess to keep His law to
depart from all iniquity. Neglect to repent and obey His word will bring
as serious consequences upon God's people today as did the same
sin upon ancient Israel. There is a limit beyond which He will no longer
delay His judgments. 4T 166.4

80. Never did this message apply with greater force than it applies today. More and
more the world is setting at nought the claims of God. Men have become bold in
transgression. The wickedness of the inhabitants of the world has almost filled
up the measure of their iniquity. This earth has almost reached the place where
God will permit the destroyer to work his will upon it. 7T 141.1

81. The substitution of the laws of men for the law of God, the exaltation, by merely
human authority, of Sunday in place of the Bible Sabbath, is the last act in the
drama. When this substitution becomes universal, God will reveal Himself. He
will arise in His majesty to shake terribly the earth. He will come out of His place
to punish the inhabitants of the world for their iniquity, and the earth shall
disclose her blood and shall no more cover her slain. 7T 141.1

83. “When the religion of Christ is most held in contempt, when his law is
most despised, then should our zeal be the warmest and our courage
the most unflinching. To STAND in DEFENCE of TRUTH and
RIGHTEOUSNESS when the MAJORITY FORSAKES US , to FIGHT
the BATTLES of the LORD when CHAMPIONS ARE FEW ,—
this will be our test.” RH January 11, 1887, par. 2

84. “At this time we must gather WARMTH from
the COLDNESS of others, COURAGE from
their COWARDICE, and LOYALTY from
their TREASON . The nation will be on
the side of the great rebel leader.”
RH January 11, 1887, par. 2
