    Facts

    Don't take offense, your genetics affected the way your brain reacts to and interprets things like prayer and religion, making you more susceptible to believing them. Nobody is immune to their genes.

      Now the natural man doesn't receive the things of God's Spirit, for they are foolishness to him, and he can't know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

      For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

        In the bible there is something very interesting that happens when Jesus tells his disciples he will go to Jerusalem and be killed. Peter had a great thought and told Jesus just don't go to Jerusalem. Jesus looked at Peter and said "get behind me satan". I read that scripture for many years before it really dawned on me what Jesus was saying. He wasn't calling Peter satan but he saw where satan had influenced Peter to say what he did and that was a revelation to me about how the enemy operates and for me to examine my own thought life. And that is where the battle lies, in our thought life and that is the realm where satan operates.

        When Margaret Court talks about transgenders being the work of the devil it is the deception that has taken place in their minds.

                No. But the breakdown of families are and too many children being raised by single parents without fathers:

                A few years ago a young, teenaged male, with several others his age, killed nearly a

                hundred victims. A few years before, the young killers had witnessed the massacre

                of their families. Afterwards, although still very young, they were relocated to

                another community with few adults to raise them; importantly, it was absent of older,

                mentoring males.

                These teenagers are young male African elephants. At a South African park, in the

                1990's, three young males attacked and killed 58 white and five black rhinoceroses;

                at a second park, young male elephants killed 40 white rhinoceroses.

                The problem began to come to light as scientists, sociologists and zoologists tried

                desperately to determine the cause of this unprecedented behavior in the young bull

                elephants.

                Why would they do it? Well, like juvenile delinquent humans, they had grown up

                without role models.

                The problem stemmed back 20 years to South Africa’s largest conservation area,

                Kruger National Park. Kruger had too many elephants. In those days there was no

                way to relocate these large adults. So researchers decided to kill the adults and save

                the children, who were more easily transported to other parks.

                The intentions may have been good but the program created a whole generation of

                traumatized orphans thrown together without any adults to teach them how to

                behave.

                Years later those lonely orphans developed into troubled teen-agers. That’s when the

                killings and destruction began.

                The solution, they determined was to attempt to bring role models back into the lives

                of the young bulls.

                They shipped much older bull elephants back into the herds. The older males

                immediately established a hierarchy with the herd, settling the young bulls and

                modeling strong elephant ethics. The result? Not one rhino death or outbreak of

                violence since the introduction of the older males. Young men need fathers, even in

                the animal kingdom.

                This story illustrates both the need for leaders, and the tragic outcome when

                leadership is absent. True, this story was about elephants, not humans. But can any

                of us deny the similarity between this situation and our own society?

                Specifically, we should take note of the impact created by the absence of adult male

                role models – mentors, in this “society”.

                We live in a world today, particularly in America, in which fathers are often absent

                from the family. Not only is this true in the case of divorce or death, but more and

                more, our society validates the concept of a “family unit” without a man present –

                without even acknowledging the need for a man in the “mix”.

                Admittedly, this is NOT an attack on any wife or mother whose husband has left, or

                whose husband was taken by an unexpected “early death”.

                But let’s take a moment to look at some of the statistics:

                In America:

                • 63% of youth suicides are from fatherless homes (U.S.D.H.H.S. Bureau of the

                Census)

                • 90% of all homeless and runaway children are from fatherless homes

                • 85% of all children that exhibit behavioral disorders are from fatherless

                homes (Center for Disease Control)

                • 80% of rapists motivated with displaced anger come from fatherless homes.

                (Criminal Justice and Behavior, Vol.14 p. 403-26)

                • 71% of all high school dropouts come from fatherless homes. (National

                Principals Association Report on the state of High Schools)

                • 70% of juveniles in state operated institutions come from fatherless homes

                (U.S. Dept of Justice, Special Report)

                • 85% of all youths sitting in prisons grew up in fatherless homes. (Fulton

                County Georgia Jail Populations and Texas Dept. of Corrections.)

                • Nearly 2 of every 5 children in America do not live with their fathers. (U.S.

                News and World Report)

                There are:

                • 11,268,000 total custodial mothers

                • 2,907,000 total custodial fathers

                (Current Populations Reports, US Bureau of the Census, Series P-20, No. 458)

                What does this mean? Children from fatherless homes are:

                • 4.6 times more likely to commit suicide

                • 6.6 times more likely to become teenaged mothers (girls)

                • 24.3 times more likely to run away

                • 15.3 times more likely to have behavioral disorders

                • 6.3 times more likely to be in a state-operated institution

                • 10.8 times more likely to commit rape

                • 6.6 times more likely to drop out of school

                • 15.3 times more likely to end up in prison while a teenager

                In my opinion, one of the greatest examples of the long-term effects of the

                “fatherless family unit” is the prevalence of gangs in the United States.

                Think about it: in nearly every case, young men who find their identity in gangs,

                grew up in a single-parent home, without a father, or they had a poor, inadequate

                relationship with their dad. In either case, these young men found their “male

                identity” in the “gang culture”.

                You and I can view ourselves as those in need of leadership, or we can rise to the

                challenge, to become the leaders for those in need of direction.

                Basically, we can be part of the problem, or part of the solution. And, as always,

                there is the third group – those spectators who refuse to become involved, but

                rather, they choose to watch from a distance, assuming that they are NOT part of

                the problem, not realizing that their apathy and lethargy create the atmosphere

                which fosters such runaway “out of control” mob mentality. Basically, with the law of

                entropy in place, if we aren’t part of the solution, it is very likely that through our

                own apathy, we are part of the problem.

                But now, a word of encouragement and applause for the men who are rising to the

                challenge – mentors – fathers.

                God bless the men whose lives serve as an example – a challenge to others,

                inspiring them to become the men and women who God destined them to be.

                  I didn't read that while thing, but yes, elephants need Jesus.

                  You know Christians used the Bible to preach against interracial mixing, right? What makes their interpretation better than yours?

                    The bible speaks of rightly dividing the word. That is the key.

                    God ordained the family consisting of a father and a mother to raise children. The story with the elephants is an example of what we see going on today with the breakdown of families and children raised by single parents.

                              The bible clearly calls homosexuality a wrong sinful lifestyle in both the old and new covenant. So called Ministers like this might as well throw away the bible because they are not following it's clear teachings. The Apostle Paul says that the sin of homosexuality will keep a person from heaven (if they don't repent). I will believe someone like Paul who wrote most of the new testament as well as being hand picked by Jesus to be a disciple over what this this so called minister says.

                                And then the perversion goes to the schools:

                                Gyrating drag queen's erotic performance shocks audience at grade school talent show

                                Parents are furious after children as young as 5-years-old were exposed to an erotic drag show performance at what was supposed to be a school district talent show.


                                “My first reaction was what the hell is going on,” parent Raquel Morales told me.

                                The New York Daily News described the lewd performance as “complete with gyrations, tongue gymnastics and a flashed G-string.”

                                The May 25th performance shocked and enraged parents who could not believe the school district would allow a grown man to spread his legs and display his crotch to wide-eyed children.

                                “I left the show the minute he started sticking his tongue out,” one parent to the Daily News. “I had my children with me and I wasn’t going to allow them to see that.”

                                Ms. Morales filmed the seven-minute routine on her cell phone and provided me with a copy. It’s jaw-dropping, folks. And when the drag queen dropped to the floor and began writhing in a sexually-suggestive manner, the auditorium erupted.

                                “Once he got to that part it was chaos,” Ms. Morales said. “People were yelling and leaving. A lot of parents were saying had they known this was going to happen they would have taken their kids out after they had performed.”

                                The talent show was emceed by District 4 Superintendent Alexandra Estrella. And the individual who performed in drag was identified as the president of the Public School 96 Parent Association.

                                “The school district told me the performance was about LGBT awareness,” she said.

                                I reached out to the district as well as the board of education – multiple times. So far, they have not returned my telephone calls.

                                So, here’s the bottom line. There are several issues that need to be addressed.

                                First, who signed off on a school program that featured a kindergarten choir and a gyrating, adult drag queen?

                                Second, why is that person still employed by the school district?

                                Third, why hasn’t the school district publicly apologized to traumatized parents and their children?

                                Ms. Morales made it a point to explain that her objection had nothing to do with the LGBT movement.

                                “I’m 100 percent against discrimination,” she said.

                                This is about age-appropriate behavior – and what happened in that auditorium was not age appropriate.

                                “The superintendent was the emcee – and she has a responsibility to protect all children,” she said. “That wasn’t a child performing. It was an adult.”

                                Moving forward, I recommend the school district adopt a policy to govern future grade school talent shows:

                                If a drag queen wants to spread his legs and show off his G-string he should do that at a nightclub – not a public school talent show.

                                    So that minister is reading the Bible incorrectly, but you have it right? Interesting.

                                    And all of those Christians in the past that used it to justify segregation, they also read it wrong?

                                      Yep, that drag queen thing is clearly inappropriate for elementary school kids. But that story does not mean homosexuality is a sin or that transgenders are the work if the devil.

                                      But then again I'm influenced by the devil, so who knows!

                                        People have done bad things and tried to use the bible to justify their actions . Sure, scriptures can be twisted. But on the issue of homosexuality the bible is clear that it is a sin condemned in both the old and new covenant as well as the Apostle Paul specifically calling out this sin as one that would keep a person from heaven. Now where does this so called minister saying homosexuality is OK compare with the Apostle Paul? Did he write much of the new testament? Was he beaten many times and left for dead as he preaches the gospel? Was he handpicked by Jesus Himself to be an Apostle? No so any Christian would be wise to go with what Paul says in the New Testament.

                                          Was the drag queen school official influenced by the devil to perform in front of school age children? I'm guessing yes.
