Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) President, the Rev. Dr. Sofía Betancourt, is joining nine other heads of diverse religious traditions in issuing a landmark statement proclaiming that transgender, intersex, and nonbinary people are “holy and whole“, worthy of love, support, and protection.
The statement is also signed by Barry Crossno, General Secretary of the Friends General Conference; The Rev. Elder Cecilia Eggleston, Moderator of Universal Fellowship of Metropolitan Community Churches (MCC); Presiding Prelate Yvette A. Flunder of The Fellowship of Affirming Ministries (TFAM); Rabbi Rick Jacobs, President of Union for Reform Judaism; The Rev. Jihyun Oh, Stated Clerk and Executive Director of Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.); The Rev. Teresa “Terri” Hord Owens, General Minister and President of Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in the United States and Canada; The Rev. Dr. Karen Georgia Thompson, General Minister and President/CEO of the United Church of Christ (UCC); Rabbi Deborah Waxman, Ph.D., President and CEO of Reconstructing Judaism; and The Episcopal Church. It also includes additional information from signers explaining the basis of support from their traditions.
“During a time when our country is placing their lives under increasingly serious threat, there is a disgraceful misconception that all people of faith do not affirm the full spectrum of gender – a great many of us do. Let it be known instead that our beloveds are created in the image of God – Holy and whole,” says the statement, which is directed to the American public, political leaders, and moral teachers.
Mind you they don’t believe in the inerrancy of Scripture and that God made two genders, male and female, and that family consists of a male joining with a female for life (become one flesh) to produce children which they care for and raise to adulthood.
The statement dated November 12th, 2025 acknowledges that while the signers may come from different religious traditions, they share a common concern in protecting those experiencing persecution. “Our scriptures vary, but they share a common conviction. As we make justice our aim we must give voice to those who are silenced. Our shared values, held across many faiths, teach us that we are all children of God and that we must cultivate a discipline of hope, especially in difficult times. As such, we raise our voices in solidarity to unequivocally proclaim the holiness of transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, as well as the recognition of the entire spectrum of gender identity and expression,” the statement says..
A major end times sign is apostasy in the church. Never before has God’s church rejected His Word as many denominations have today. We are fast approaching Jesus second coming which is a time of tribulation which escalates into great tribulation prior to the rapture of the church and the outpouring of God’s wrath at the trumpet blast at the opening of the seventh seal. It is at the sixth seal that we see the celestial signs that precede the rapture and the outpouring of God’s wrath upon an unrepentant world.
And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood; And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, … For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:12, 17

Australian media and a small handful of politicians are finally shedding light on the appalling consequences of self-identification laws and gender ideology.
Binary has been at the coalface for the better part of a decade sounding the alarm. It has played a crucial role in the fact that some are finally starting to take note.
Anna Cody, the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, was embarrassed at Senate Estimates for not being able to define sex, one of the words in her own portfolio.
Senator Claire Chandler and Senator Malcolm Roberts did a great job of exposing her nonsensical responses.
Harm to Women and Children
The Australian and Sky News have picked up on the fact that violent male criminals are being housed in female prisons. The Chief Minister of the Northern Territory has even stated on the record that there will be no males in female prisons on her watch.
Binary campaigned on this issue in the lead-up to the 2022 Victorian state election. Three long years ago, we warned that the policy was there and would be taken advantage of.
We were ridiculed and ‘fact checked’ by the ABC, which deceived readers into thinking we made it up and yet we literally took the statement directly from the government website.
Unfortunately, thousands of children have now suffered the consequences of gender ideology in their schools, and countless parents have had their rights undermined by a system that cares more about progressing a dangerous ideology than the wellbeing of children.
Irreversible Damage
Children who are socially transitioned usually go on to take extremely harmful drugs such as puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones.
These drugs render them sterile, without sexual function, incontinent, with high cholesterol, and bone density issues, along with other terrible side effects.
Politicians and the media are responsible for one of the worst medical scandals in Australia’s history. They have shrunk back, minimised, deceived and outright lied about the harm this dreadful ideology has inflicted on a generation of vulnerable young people.
It is encouraging that some are now stepping into the light. It is deeply shameful that so many still refuse to safeguard women and children.
Never underestimate the role you can play in sharing information and challenging the deceptive narrative. Make sure you share this post widely.
Canadian journalist Jonathon Van Maren, host of “The Jonathon Van Maren Show,” contended that the roots of transgender ideology can be traced directly to the sexual revolution, as does “Generation Indoctrination,” host Brandon Showalter. “If you spend any time in the land of gender confusion, there’s a common question you’ll hear asked among bewildered people: how on Earth did we get here?” Showalter says in the episode, “From ‘Free Love’ to Gender Chaos: Tracing the Road from the Sexual Revolution to Today.”
“The sexual revolution was a revolution. It was the tearing down of all boundaries surrounding what is sex, what is procreation, what is family,” Van Maren said. “It was to a degree inevitable that eventually they would begin to redefine the very concept of self.” Van Maren called the movement “the bloodiest revolution in all of human history,” pointing to the legalization of abortion across the West in the years that followed. Unlike abortion’s “silent and unseen victims,” he said, the victims of trans ideology are living and speaking out. “The barbarism perpetrated against the bodies of these primarily young people can be witnessed by all,” he adds.
Jennifer Roback Morse, president of the Ruth Institute and author of The Sexual State, stressed that contradictions within the revolution are inevitable. “We’re at war with male and female. We’re at war with the human body,” Morse said. “As long as we’re at war with that, we’re going to be creating one bit of craziness after another.”
Nathanael Blake, a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and author of Victims of the Revolution: How Sexual Liberation Hurts Us All, said the revolution promised freedom but ultimately undermined the meaning of male and female.
“The Sexual Revolution promised that if we pursued pleasure and disregarded commitments and obligations, we would be freer, more authentic and happy,” Blake said. “But instead, if you say there’s no meaning to sex other than what you feel about it, that necessarily means male and female don’t matter.” He noted that same-sex marriage was quickly followed by a cultural pivot to transgender activism, a logical outgrowth of the claim that biological sex is irrelevant.
Looking to the future, Blake warned that if the revolution continues unchecked, even darker outcomes could follow. “We could certainly see a push towards paedophilia,” he said, noting that such movements had intellectual support in the 1970s. “I hope we’ve reached a point where this evil of transgenderism will recede … but we need to be faithful, and then we need to trust and hope that God will deliver us from evil.”
It is good to know from Biblical end times prophecies that Jesus return is near and He will deliver us from evil and restore righteousness. Sadly, the following verse is true of many that practice and promote this unrighteousness.
“Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
Worcester, located about 35 miles west of Boston, is the second-biggest city by population in the state, with just over 200,000 residents. The City Council passed a resolution, titled “Sanctuary City for Transgender and Gender Diverse People“. It prevents the city from cooperating with federal or state policies deemed harmful to trans-identified individuals and ensures access to healthcare, housing, education and employment without discrimination.
While critics have argued the resolution defies federal law and fails to protect youth, approximately 200 people, activists and residents, showed up for the council meeting to support the resolution, many of them speaking out — some even singing — during the five-hour public meeting.
Among those who spoke out in favor of the resolution was Julie Payne-Britton, a pastor at the Hadwen Park Congregational Church, which is affiliated with the progressive United Church of Christ. Payne-Britton, who identifies as a disabled, cisgender lesbian, sported a clerical collar as she told council members that if Jesus were at the meeting, He would be “dressed in full drag.”
“The Jesus I know would be dressed in full drag and serving face, or handsome as a trans man, or wrapped in the garb of a non-binary person who knows one gender is way too small to capture their gloriousness,” Payne-Britton claimed. “The Jesus I know would be at this mic with a trembling voice and a shaking body and tears that will not be held back crying, ‘make this city safe for my child.’”
Another speaker, a blue-haired, white-gloved man in drag who identified as “Dee Dee Delight” spoke about being “afraid” of President Donald Trump’s executive order requiring federal agencies to recognize only two sexes — male and female — and a second order prohibiting trans medical operations for anyone younger than 19.
“I need the city to protect me because the federal government won’t. And if you think you’re afraid of Trump, you should see how afraid of Trump I am,” the speaker said.
After identifying as “multiply disabled,” the speaker, standing in front of a sign that read “Silence = death,” issued what appeared to be a threat against the council.
“If you say you’re afraid of Trump and that’s why you don’t want the city to be a safe space for [trans] people, you better prepare for [trans] people to make this a very unsafe space,” said the person.
A short time later, a black female activist warned the council about “strong, queer” transgender-identified people who “will collect you with the quickness.”
Another activist wearing a wig screamed at the city council, “How many of my friends have to die before you do anything?”
The City of Worcester has folded to the increasingly threatening demands of LBTQ proponents. The battle is escalating. Fortunately, we know how the story ends, Jesus returns to put things right.
Kaeley Harms, an adult survivor of childhood sexual abuse, has a visceral response to emotional manipulation. This is her response to Bishop Budde’s sermon to President Trump.
One needs only spend a few minutes familiarizing oneself with the entire body of Bishop Budde’s work to realise that what she was really asking for is not mercy but capitulation. She wasn’t asking Trump to use softer words. She was asking him to pump the brakes on necessary policy changes that would protect the greater good.
Jesus loves people. He loves you. He loves me. He loves illegal immigrants. He loves kids who are confused about their gender. His heart is merciful toward us. But loving every person does not mean He loves every idea or every action. Mercy doesn’t look like capitulating to ideologies that lead to harm. Mercy looks like intervening to stop the harm from happening, and it’s precisely that intervention that Bishop Budde was standing staunchly against in her speech. She framed the whole thing as love, of course, but the brand of love she was peddling wasn’t love at all, and that’s why it vexes me.
You should be able to step foot in a Christian church and find that the leaders are pointing you toward Jesus and the truth that can save.
Jesus says, “Come as you are,” not “Stay as you are.” Faithful Christian leaders lovingly encourage their congregants to surrender their sins to Jesus and allow Him to transform them from the inside out. To be a Christian is to be willing to change. It means your identity is in Him, not your sexual preferences or rebellion against the material reality of your sex. But false leaders like Bishop Budde encounter this necessary shepherding and shout, “Have mercy! Don’t tell people they need to change! That’s hateful.” And in so doing, they circumvent the very repentance that could bring the healing we all claim to desire.
Budde’s speech perpetuated both the myth of the “transgender child” and the histrionic belief that children will die if we don’t indulge their delusion about their bodies. There’s no such thing as a transgender child. Mercy and compassion for kids who are confused about their sex looks like lovingly helping them make peace with the immutable nature of it. It does NOT look like forcing the rest of society to play make-believe with the cult ideology that’s harming them. The price tag here is just too high. Kids are not dying because we refuse to tell them lies about their bodies. The suggestion is preposterous and harmful.
Conservative political commentator Mark Steyn blasted Episcopal Bishop Mariann Budde as “a tool of Satan” for pushing the idea of “transgender children” from the pulpit of the National Cathedral during her recent rebuke of President Donald Trump. There’s no such thing as a transgender kid,” Steyn said. “Some may think there is, and a confused 8-year-old boy or 11-year-old girl may think there is. But what it boils down to is you, the bishop, supporting slicing off the breasts of middle school girls. That makes you, the bishop, a tool of Satan. So you should be on a roasting spit in Hell for promoting that.”
Sadly, until very recently, the transgender movement has had all the institutional power. All of it. They’ve had a death grip on the entirety of mainstream media, big tech, big pharma, the medical industrial complex, academia, Hollywood elite, and, increasingly, of the now largely apostate church.
They have not been “powerless.” Women have been powerless to stop them. How do you think female inmates raped by men in their prison cells feel when people who claim to be abuse survivor advocates defend their rapists in the name of God?
What does “mercy” look like to a physically castrated young man like Ritchie Herron who will never be a father because people like Bishop Budde encouraged the cult belief that they could be born in the wrong body? What does “mercy” look like to grieving parents whose children have committed suicide after the medical intervention experts promised what would make them happy failed to deliver?
I’m focused heavily on the trans element of Budde’s speech for obvious reasons: it’s been my soapbox for the past 10 years. I’m so inundated with the stories of harm perpetrated by the gender cult that it keeps me up at night.
The British government indefinitely banned puberty blockers as a treatment for minors with gender dysphoria on Wednesday. After embracing gender transition procedures for minors before the U.S., European countries like the U.K. are now reversing course as evidence of the harm they could cause has mounted. “We need to act with caution and care when it comes to this vulnerable group of young people, and follow the expert advice,” declared Health Secretary Wes Streeting.
The U.K. temporarily paused puberty blockers for children in March 2023, following the release of the Cass report, a credible, detailed examination that found insufficient evidence that gender transition procedures were safe for children. The Commission on Human Medicines, an independent organization of the British government, also recently found “an unacceptable safety risk in the continued prescription of puberty blockers to children.”
The government, then controlled by the Conservative Party, further restricted access to puberty blockers with an emergency ban passed in June. The high court upheld that ban as lawful in July. In August, after an electoral victory, the left-leaning Labour Party extended the emergency ban in August. This move invested both of the U.K.’s major political parties in the newly cautious approach toward gender transition procedures for minors.
On Wednesday, the Labour government announced new legislation that would make the ban indefinite, to be reviewed in 2027. The ban would also take effect in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.
The transgender industry has exploded from a trickle of young males seeking transition procedures to thousands upon thousands of minors who have filled the industry’s bank account with more than $100 million, according to a groundbreaking new report. This is a significant end-times sign. God will not countenance this happening to children.
The group Do No Harm has found nearly 14,000 minors have undergone transgender surgeries, puberty blockers, or cross-sex hormone injections between 2019 and 2023, generating almost $120 million in revenue. This is now big business and nothing but God stepping in will stop it. The report documents that during those years:
13,994 children received transgender-related treatments
5,747 transgender “sex change” operations were carried out on children
“62,682 hormone and puberty blockers prescriptions [were] written for 8,579 pediatric patients”
“At least $119,791,202 made from sex change treatments performed on minors”
“This data release is really a nuclear bomb,” Dr. Miriam Grossman told guest host Jody Hice on “Washington Watch” Wednesday. “We are led to believe by politicians and many groups that these interventions are rare and hardly happening in this country. And that is simply not true.”
These experimental procedures have proliferated, partly because of money, but also because “the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Psychiatric Association for many years have been taken over by a small group of activists who simply push their agendas forward and stifle debate,” Grossman noted. “And too many of my colleagues are simply spineless and unwilling to speak up against it.”
The study’s numbers, which tracked insurance data, “also are not counting any of the treatments that were paid for privately,” noted Grossman, a practicing psychiatrist. “While this data represents the tip of the iceberg, this is the first step in holding the medical establishment accountable for participating in, and often times promoting, predatory and unscientific medical interventions for vulnerable children,” said the chairman of Do No Harm, Dr. Stanley Goldfarb.
The procedures sometimes generated millions of dollars for the facility. according to the database, Boston Children’s Hospital raked in over $5 million. The group released its list of the “Dirty Dozen” hospitals that most profited off pediatric transgender procedures, which includes:
The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
Connecticut Children’s Medical Center
Children’s Minnesota
Seattle Children’s
Children’s Hospital Los Angeles
Boston Children’s Hospital
Rady Children’s Hospital
Children’s National Medical Center
UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital Oakland
Children’s Hospital Colorado
UPMC Children’s Hospital of Pittsburgh
Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center
“Some of these hospitals are actually activists; they are reaching out into the community and promoting their services,” Grossman told Hice.iws9
Yet not everyone has bowed “the knee” to the industry’s consensus. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) has refused to endorse “any organization’s practice recommendations for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria” and acknowledged that “there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions, and the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty.”
Still, the damage has been profound, experts say. Thanks to transgender activists, children are being permanently “physically disfigured. They’re losing the capacity to have biological children in the future. Many of them will have impaired sexual functioning, inability to have sexual pleasure, and many, many other medical and psychiatric problems,” said Grossman. “There’s so many mental health issues for many reasons. And, one big reason is that we are misrepresenting reality to these children, and we are leading them to think that they can just keep [allowing] each person [to] create their own reality. That is extremely destructive from a mental health perspective.”
The procedures often trigger lifelong regret. “We’ve had over 4,000 or 5,000 people that we’ve helped through our website, working with them one-on-one, who have come back and restored their life,” Walt Heyer, who lived for years as a woman before embracing his God-given sex, told a panel at the 2024 Pray Vote Stand Summit (PVSS) in Washington, D.C. last weekend.
Like many transgender-identifying young people, Heyer was psychologically, physically, and sexually abused as a child. Today, he says, he hears aspects of his own story in thousands of young people who speak with him.
“When people approach me and they say, ‘I’m a transgender. I transitioned and I have gender dysphoria,’ I always say, ‘Well, you’re not a transgender. You never transitioned, and you probably don’t have gender dysphoria,’” Heyer said. “That’s not gender dysphoria. That’s trauma.”
“It is categorically impossible to change your gender with hormones and surgery,” Heyer pointed out. “No one has ever changed genders. They’ve changed their persona.”
Once led down the transgender medical pipeline of puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and unnecessary surgery, these minor patients have no formal financial — and all-too-often, psychological — support. “We see a population that is vulnerable, that has been taken advantage of, that has no means of intervention, because once they go through ‘gender-affirming care,’ there’s no insurance to go through a detransitioning process. There is no insurance to cover the trauma that happens to someone who’s been told by the medical community, ‘This is the way you’re going to get better,” Dr. Jennifer Bauwens, director of the Center for Family Studies at Family Research Council, told PVSS.
She continued, “If we know that trauma is high in a population, what we should be doing is including that variable in every piece of research that we produce, because it’s significant and we need to understand the population well, but not when it comes to the transgender research literature. They don’t include it. They’re not curious [about] why self-harm is so high in this population. And in fact, the very act of ‘gender-affirming care’ is self-harm, which is an expression of trauma.’”
Less than one-third of Americans say they support any kind of transgender procedures for minors in a Rasmussen poll. A strong majority (58%) of Americans oppose all transgender procedures — including supposedly reversible puberty blockers and hormone injections — for children under 18; 47% “strongly oppose” such procedures.
“The stats in this database represent thousands of kids who are being treated like Guinea pigs for unproven, and sometimes dangerous, medical experiments. I hope politicians and parents alike use this database to see where these treatments are happening and protect their children from being rushed into irreversible, life-altering treatments,” said Do No Harm Senior Fellow and Patient Advocate Chloe Cole.
Thus far, the 2024 Republican presidential campaign has said little about the procedures. Instead, since August, the Trump campaign has focused on a $65 million ad campaign opposing transgender-identifying athletes taking part in women’s sports and taxpayer-funded transgender procedures for inmates in prison.
“If I had it my way, we would close every gender clinic in the United States and stop this nonsense. We need to get a backbone, and we need to stand up and say we are destroying lives. We are not helping people,” Heyer told PVSS.
Bauwens also noted that, according to federal election data, “92% to 96% of research psychologists and social workers” have “given to a liberal Democrat candidate” for office.
The most profound damage of the transgender industry comes in the mind- and soul-altering message of gender fluidity, which wars with the biblical view that God created us male and female, Heyer contended. “When we introduce a child or an individual to the idea that they can change genders, we devalue who they are in Christ,” he said.
Americans’ rapid shedding of God and His values was evidenced by Former First Lady Michelle Obama’s celebrated speech at the Democratic National Convention. She celebrated “children” identifying as transgender, vilified concerned parents’ efforts to remove pornographic books from children’s sections of school libraries, and embraced life-destroying fertility methods. Moreover, her husband, former president Barack Obama, promised a Harris-Walz administration would sign a bill extending abortion to all 50 states.
Is it any wonder that last week, whistleblower Vanessa Sivadge was illegally fired from her position as a nurse at Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH)! Vanessa, a former Family Research Council intern and a TCH Nurse, blew the whistle that gender transition procedures for minors were being illegally performed and funded through Medicaid at Texas Children’s Hospital. Before becoming a whistleblower herself, she had previously received a threatening visit from federal agents asking her to reveal the then-anonymous identity of Dr. Eithan Haim, another TCH whistleblower who initially revealed that the hospital was conducting these procedures on minors in violation of Texas state law.
Before blowing the whistle on these illegal procedures and Medicaid fraud, Vanessa had submitted a religious accommodation request to be transferred to another department so that she did not have to be involved in these procedures and violate her biblical beliefs. Her request was never granted, but that wasn’t the end of the story. Not only did Texas Children’s Hospital ignore Vanessa’s religious accommodation and transfer request, but she was fired after coming out as a whistleblower several weeks ago.
Thankfully Vanessa is standing strong, saying she “would like to challenge this in court.”“My faith and my gut, just knowing right from wrong, compels me,” she says. “I was born for this. I have no doubt this is what I am supposed to do.”
Vanessa is right, Christians need to stand firm in the face of unrighteousness. In the Olivet Discourse, Jesus warns us that before His return persecution of Christians will get much worse.
“Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:9-14
This Scripture and many others show us that Christians will not be raptured before the prophesied tribulation and even the great tribulation that occurs. Jesus told us that we will see the abomination in the temple (Antichrist) and experience the tribulation that ensues. Much of the church has adopted the pretribulation rapture position so will not be prepared for what is coming. Hence this post.
Conservative Americans are sounding the alarm on Scholastic, the world’s largest children’s book publishing company, for releasing the 2024 guide to their “Read With Pride” initiative.
The guide considers itself to be a “resource” for K-12 students, as well as teachers and other figures of authority, “for supporting LGBTQIA+ youth and books.” The recommended books, which are aimed at kids as young as pre-school, contain content promoting transgenderism, same-sex couples, and parents, the concept of “friends with benefits,” traveling to a “spirit realm,” and taking relationships “to the next level” with sexual intercourse.
Scholastic’s 2024 guide begins with a “letter to educators, caregivers, [and] advocates,” expressing their motivation for the 12-page document. It’s full of extreme LGBT ideology, and it makes no attempt to mask the progressive agenda.
The first lie is a stark statement found in the letter, where it specifically states that biological reality and biblical mandates are not the “default” and must be challenged.
“Books and literature are never neutral; by engaging with queer literature for children and young adults, you are disrupting the status quo that implies being cisgender, heterosexual, and allosexual are the default.” It should go without saying that our birth sex, the male or female God created us to be, is the default. Moreover, being born a boy or a girl is also a permanent biological reality.
No one can change their gender. No one was born in the “wrong body.” No amount of hormones, surgeries, or feelings will ever change this fact. And so, while Scholastic broadcasts this lie that there is no default, let those of us who care for children boldly and lovingly share that everyone is made in the image of God with innate dignity and value. How we are born is exactly how we were supposed to be born, and it’s a beautiful truth to embrace. God doesn’t make mistakes, and He won’t start now.
Unfortunately, Scholastic’s guide continued to make another patently false claim. They wrote, “Everyone benefits from books with authentic representation of queer identities.” This simply isn’t true. I’d argue no one benefits from these LGBT, rainbow-plastered alphabet books because they are harmful, not helpful. Especially since these books target kids at an age where they don’t fully understand what reality is. Their minds are malleable, giving these dangerous ideas a better chance to take root. And yet, the “truth” they’re told is completely contrary to nature.
To add to the concern, these books expose innocent, young, and vulnerable children to inappropriate, explicit content. No child needs to be reading a book about LGBT ideology, much less books discussing pornographic content. But the guide chose to amplify debunked statistics that suggest increased support for transgenderism decreases the likelihood of suicide among those who self-identify as such. However, this claim falls flat when compared to what credible sources have discovered.
This book published by Scholastic reveals how far the world has transgressed from God and His commandments. The Bible reveals God judges nations, the nation He established for His purposes, Israel, He has judged repeatedly, and He is judging nations today. God poured out His wrath on the earth once before with the worldwide flood of Noah’s day. Moreover, Biblical prophecy tells us that He is going to pour out His wrath again on a world that has embraced the lies of the evil one, Satan, and his Antichrist.
We are given a lot of detail in Revelation on the coming Trumpet and Bowl judgements so we should use this information to present the Gospel Message to show family and friends that they need to get right with God then they will not need to face His wrath.
TRUMPET JUDGEMENTS: Now the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared to blow them.The first angel blew his trumpet, and there followed hail and fire, mixed with blood, and these were thrown upon the earth. And a third of the earth was burned up, and a third of the trees were burned up, and all green grass was burned up. The second angel blew his trumpet, and something like a great mountain, burning with fire, was thrown into the sea, and a third of the sea became blood. A third of the living creatures in the sea died, and a third of the ships were destroyed… Revelation 8:6-9
Two Out of Three Kids Will No Longer Identify as Transgender by Adulthood, Massive Study Finds.
The vast majority of children who experience gender dysphoria will embrace their biological sex by adulthood, according to a sweeping national study that monitored children for 15 years. Roughly two out of every three children who identify as transgender will embrace their birth sex by their mid-20s, the study found. People most likely to continue to identify as transgender have low self-esteem and other mental health challenges, researchers found.
A study of children in the Netherlands tracked 2,772 adolescents from 11 to 26, asking them to rate their mental and physical health every three years for 15 years. The Youth and Adult Self-Report (YSR) asked participants to assess how much they agreed with the statement, “I wish to be of the opposite sex.” A team of researchers then pored over the data from the Tracking Adolescent’s Individual Lives Survey (TRAILS) to measure “gender non-contentedness.”
The vast majority (78%) of people never felt any feelings of gender dysphoria, researchers noted. “In early adolescence, 11% of participants reported gender non-contentedness,” wrote researchers in the study, published in February in the peer-reviewed Archives of Sexual Behavior. “The prevalence decreased with age and was 4% at the last follow-up (around age 26)” — a desistance rate of 64%.
This and other studies reveal that “minors who are put on puberty blockers for the purposes of ‘gender affirmation’ are extremely likely to go on to take cross-hormones” such as estrogen and testosterone, Richards told TWS. Studies show up to 93% of children who begin on puberty blockers will go on to receive cross-sex hormone injections. Experts say the transgender industry’s early medical intervention actually deepens and prolongs feelings of gender dysphoria that would otherwise go away on their own. “This is what makes ‘gender-affirming’ (that is, sex-denying) medical interventions on minors such a medical atrocity. These interventions fast track troubled kids onto a path to sterilization and lifelong medical problems,” explained Richards.
The harm goes beyond lost fertility. “There is no research into long-term harms, but some evidence suggests decreased IQ and brittle bones. Permanent sterility is guaranteed for minors who go through full hormonal “transition.” Sexual dysfunction appears to be extremely common as well,” wrote Leor Sapir, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute, at The Hill. So-called “gender-affirming hormonal treatment” (GAHT) causes “permanent physical changes including excruciating genital growth, vaginal atrophy and tearing and much higher risk for cancer and cardiovascular disease.”
