The Paganism of the LGBQT Agenda

Dear Readers,

I didn't want to post about the following subject, but after praying,  reading, and thinking long and hard about it, I felt the Lord leading me to share my thoughts. First of all, please understand that I am not doing this for sensationalism purposes or to hurt, condemn, mock or disparage people. I don't like it when others do such things towards Christians (you will see such activity in the cut and paste link below), so I am going to try and be more sensitive in my rhetoric on this issue. I want to be clear that as a follower of Jesus Christ, I know that I am involved in a war here on this earth for the souls of people to repent and turn to Christ. If I am not honest about subjects that are highly controversial in nature, what good would I be as an ambassador for Christ?

I have several links to share and it might be advisable for you to read them in order.

#1 link:

GCMWatch: Transgender Women and the Bible.

#2 link:

GCMWatch: God is not the Author of Gender Confusion Part 1.

There are young people today who have been brain-washed (more like brain-dirtied) into believing that whatever a person desires to do with his or her body - that's O.K. and normal. Well, they apparently have not been reading their Bibles.

Excerpt from Link #1:

One may ask what made three males change their sex to females?  The world system declares there are five genders: heterosexual men, heterosexual women, homosexual men, homosexual women, and transsexuals or transgender (those who undergo sex change operations).  Not only do the opinions and philosophies of the world system influence individuals to undergo sex-change operations, it also reinforces the vain imaginations of a individual to desire to have a sex change. A perverse spirit deceives them into receiving the satanic lie that they are really a woman inside of a man’s body or man trapped inside a woman’s body.

How would one deal with transgender people and the Word of God from a biblical Judeo-Christian view?  We just can’t stop at Romans 1:27 or Leviticus 18:22.  However, Deuteronomy 23:1 says, ” He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.”  The Word of God takes a stance against the sons of the children of Israel to not engage in in practice of Baal and Asherah.  They were not to perform worship that involved males crushing their testicles between two rocks and castrating themselves to transform into female priestesses of Asherah called Qedshtu. These transsexuals would engage in anal sex (sodomy) with other male worshipers, or ritualistic sex acts with artificial phalli.  These castrated  men lived, dressed, and acted like they were female.

The ancient pagan nations across the world reflect transsexual women.  This can be seen in ancient Babylonian kurgarru where  individuals called the muxe of the Yucantan of Mexico, the hijra (even currently) in South Asia. The ancient gallae of Greek and Roman society were priestesses of the goddess Cybele.  These “priestesses” were males who castrated themselves with a knife, sword, or a sharp object. They also wore women’s clothing, danced in a femmine manner, wore their hair like a female, spoke like a female, perfumed themselves, and behaved in ways of women of that time [source].

Under the dispensation of the Mosaic Law, a male who purposely castrated himself or crushed his testicles could not enter into the congregation of the Lord.  However, under the dispensation of Grace, a person who has fallen for the satanic lie and deception to believe God made a mistake when assigning their biological gender  need to first repent before they can enter the kingdom of God.  It takes more than just to believe in the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  After all,  the devils believe in one God and tremble (James 2: 19).  In addition, they cannot come snot-nosed and crying like that kind of fake repentance would move God.  Hebrews 12:16-17 says,
 ”Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright. For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.”



You can see that such behavior is unacceptable to God via His Word. However, any person can be forgiven of their sins when they repent and ask forgiveness at the foot of the cross of Jesus Christ.

The problem today is the fact that many people misconstrue the reasons why Christians point to transgenderism as a disorder. Here is a copy of a letter that I recently sent to Dr. Keith Ablow about his discussion with Megyn Kelly at the Fox News Channel regarding "Chaz" Bono:


Dear Dr. Ablow,

I wanted to write and thank you for attempting to support parent's rights to keep their young children from being exposed to transgender celebration on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS).  I was disappointed that Ms. Kelly wouldn't let you finish your answers.  The fact is, God made them (us) male and female.  Transgenderism is a DISORDER that should not be celebrated on a major family television show.  Children will be exposed to the fact that "Chaz" was once the little blonde girl of Sonny and Cher Bono and now has chosen to savage the body she was born with and  misuse medical procedures to try and change her sex. 
DWTS always does a long biography about each contestant.  There is no way to keep the children from confusion (and outright disgust when they learn of this) about this issue, and using a favorite family T.V. show to claim that "Chaz" Bono is a "star" just because she wants to be a man is a terrible manipulation of the majority of the public view that God made them male and female.

Also, the truth is that many of the people that Ms. Kelly touts as "experts" have a politically liberal agenda skewing their research.  Does she even realize that?  I doubt it.  Her making a claim that you are spreading "hatred" is despicable!  She should be ashamed of herself and she should apologize to you. 
You expressed a medically guided opinion that differs from her uninformed
opinion.  And, it is obvious that she gathered her talking points from other people's opinion(s).

If my children were still young and fans of DWTStars, I would keep them from viewing the show until "Chaz" is voted off.  In fact, even though I love the show, I might  boycott the show until she is off of it and no longer can have the evil ability to influence the fragile minds of young children towards her celebration of an obvious disorder.

Take a look at the brief reply that I received today:

Thank you for your comments!
www.keithablow.com/

Well, I guess the exclamation point at the end could be considered as a positive reply towards my comment.

I tried to find the video clip of Dr. Ablow and Ms. Kelly, but all I found was an article in favor of Ms. Kelly's view. Figures. It originally was written for "The Human Rights Campaign" - a liberal bastion of LGBQT celebration.

Update:  Found link to a commentary written by Dr. Keith Ablow at Fox News.com

Fox News.com: Don't Let Your Kids Watch Chaz Bono on Dancing With The Stars


If you are a Christian, what are your thoughts about this issue?

The third link requires a copy and paste effort on your part. Don't let the title of the post fool you. As you will see when you get to the link, it's not about "Christians mocking gays..." Quite the opposite.

http://pajamasmedia.com/zombie/2011/04/27/christians-mock-gays-at-shocking-easter-service/?singlepage=true

I could not, in good conscience, post a direct link to the photo essay because it is absolutely blasphemous, disgusting, and terribly derogatory towards Jesus Christ by homosexual perverts.

WARNING!!! The photos are extremely crude and show exhibitionist male nudity.  The entire event is put on to mock the Person of Jesus Christ and the written language is very disgusting and highly offensive.  The entire shebang is nothing less than pornographic.

 But I thought that it was necessary to show you (any of you who are brave enough to view the photos and the "contest" that is going on there) what the media of mass deception will not broadcast. Why? Because they want viewers to think that homosexuality, lesbianism, bi-sexuality, questioning youth, transvestite activity, and transgenderism are all normal, natural, and the type of lifestyle(s) to be celebrated.

Sadly, the author didn't have any complaint regarding the blasphemy against Jesus Christ. Here is what he/she wrote:

As you will soon see in the report below, Hunky Jesus is intentionally as blasphemous as possible, an over-the-top religious-themed sexual beauty contest steeped in mockery of Christians and Christian beliefs.

Now, you might think, considering how I started this report, that I’m opposed to the Hunky Jesus contest and everything it stands for. But you couldn’t be more wrong.

I actually like Hunky Jesus; I’m not a Christian, nor am I religious in the slightest, so the “blasphemy” doesn’t bother me one bit.

No, what bothers me is the double standard. In San Francisco (and places like San Francisco, including most newsrooms and TV studios), it’s perfectly acceptable to mock Christians. But to turn the tables and mock gays in a similar way is considered totally beyond the pale; a hate crime; bullying; bigotry and oppression of the worst kind.

If the story as I originally titled it was true (“Christians mock gays at shocking Easter service“), it would indeed have been national news. But when the reverse happens — silence. And what this tells me is that our society is currently enduring a condition of mass rank hypocrisy.

What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Since the gay community has carte blanche to mock Christians (as proven here), then the reverse should also be true — Christians should be free if they so choose to publicly mock gays or the stereotypical gay lifestyle. Why not? Neither side may like the mockery, but fair is fair.

To be consistent, we should either allow even-handed free speech for (and against) everyone — or ban all critical speech whatsoever. And that second option is the road to totalitarianism (not to mention being unconstitutional), so Option 1 it must be: free speech for all.

As you will see in the photos and videos below, the gay community is very, very good at dishing it out. But can they take it? The moment anyone attempts the slightest mockery or put-down of stereotypical “gayness,” an entire class of professional victimologists and whiners and lawyers go apoplectic; no criticism or mockery is allowed!

This double-standard (and similar double-standards — take your pick) is destroying our national soul.

The author is right that such perversion destroys our national soul (and individual souls). But the fact that the author is complaining only because of free speech and hypocrisy cuts against the wisdom of God, His Son, Jesus Christ, and His written Word, the Bible.

Recall what I wrote earlier:

Pagan groups and the media want viewers to think that homosexuality, lesbianism, bi-sexuality, questioning youth, transvestite activity, and transgenderism are all normal, natural, and lifestyle(s) to be celebrated.

The Bible tells us otherwise.

 Pastor DL Foster sums it up quite well in the link at the beginning of this post:

True repentance is a change in someone’s thinking and behavior from unrighteousness to righteousness. In order to repent, one must totally abandon the practice of sin in one’s lifestyle. Jesus, during his earthly ministry after forgiving someone of their sins, told them to go and sin no more.


A perfect example of someone repenting from living as a transgender person is KK Hofeling. KK Hofeling had a sex change to become a transgender woman. KK, in late November of 2000, had a dream about going to Hell. He awoke from the dream and heard the Lord say, “If you don’t repent, I have no choice but to send you there.” After reading the scripture and experiencing dreams and visions, KK was 100 percent convinced that the Lord wanted him to revert back to being a male [source].


Shows like VH1′s, “Transform Me” are a satanic evangelistic programs to entice the world to believe a lie! It is Satan’s attempt to glamorize perversion to further carry mankind down the road of eternal damnation. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ must carry the life-giving evangelistic message to a dying world and rightly divide the Word. The Church must tell the world that the power of God is more than capable of delivering a person from living as a transgender woman or transgender man. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 says, “Know ye not that the unrighteousness shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. Nor thieves, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall not inherit the kingdom of God? And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.” A transgender person cannot inherit the kingdom of God unless they first repent of their sins, and receive the gift of Salvation by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8). It is only then that the Holy Spirit will regenerate and sanctify them.


Remember God created male and female (Genesis 1:27), don’t believe Satan’s lie of five genders male, female, gay, lesbian, and transgender you can lose your soul if you reject the truth of God’s Word.

Hat tips to all links.

What, transsexuals aren't good judges at dancing?

Gay and lesbian are not separate, and should not be thought of as such. “Gay” refers to all homosexuals, both men and women, while “lesbian” refers to women only. It's possible to be gay without being a lesbian, but it's not possible to be a lesbian without being gay. If Pastor Foster believes otherwise, he's simply wrong.

Just the thought of crushing one's testicles makes me wince. That some worshipers of Baal practiced it is probably why Baal has no priests now. Of course, Foster neglected to mention the Skoptsi of 18th-century Russia, who also cut themselves off from temptation in the name of God.
Further evidence, if any is needed, that religion makes people crazy.

What do you expect anyway? In most ancient (and many modern) cultures, women were considered fit for only one thing: breeding. They bled at inconvenient times. They were physically smaller and weaker (you don't send cows into battle, but horses). They weren't expected to think, only to obey. Even in entertainment such as theater, women could only be dancers, not actors: until about two centuries ago, womens' roles were always performed by men. Nobody seemed to think that was strange until the Enlightenment era, for some reason. I guess Flip Wilson, Jonathan Winters and every other comedian who ever put on a dress is now roasting in the Christian hell because of this.

Most people probably wouldn't even notice, if not for the sensationalism surrounding it. If they did, they'd probably think “Wow, I couldn't have done that, wouldn't have the nerve” and continue watching the show. I suspect more people than ever will watch DWTS now, at least until the novelty wears off. But I've never watched that show, and I still won't.

Would Jesus watch Dancing With The Stars?

"EVERYTHING IS PERMISSABLE;NOTHING IS FORBIDDEN" is an expression within the tennents of occult Freemasonry. A related sentiment is "As above;So below",which is the expression that accompanies the goatheaded hermafroditic character called the "Bapomat"which is depicted pointing upward with the right hand index finger and downward with the left hand index finger simultaniously..Communism,Frremasonry and the new age cult of psudo humanism share a goal of destroying Christianity,the family as the core of western society as well as the roles and relationship between men and women.Their efforts are represented in the "Is-ims" of the 19th-20th century as well as the ten planks of Communism.It is no coincidence that "Lady Gaga" is repeaedly exposed as useing these these and many more occult symbols and gestures while promoteing this radical cult of homosexuality and this this new gender"The new Man". A man that is not a man;A woman that is neither.Many have been brainwashed ,while others ,in high places have openly pledged an oath to the doctorine of Lucifer. Prince of this realm .The original radical revolutionary. The most selfish and narsasistic of gods creations.I have sympathy for Miss Chastity Bono.She has been decieved and instead of sending her to a priest foe counciling ,she was told god made a mistake "Yes ,you are a man ". The large problem confronting us all. Christians and all others is that The halls of government,the banks,The Press and the entertainment corporations are all under the same influence of the all seeing eye.Which is the symbol of Lucifer. This web page is important; Thank you for doing gods work-so well.

GMpilot -

Pastor Foster was discussing what the secular world likes to think are five separate sexual identities. It wasn't his idea, per se, and it certainly isn't God's idea.

You wrote:

"Further evidence, if any is needed, that religion makes people crazy."

And secular paganism doesn't make some people crazy? Your view is a good example of the double standard that you continue to spew here at this blog.

GM - you obviously didn't comprehend that such pagan activities are thousands of years old. They have been mentioned and condemned in the Bible. As Solomon once said, "there is nothing new under the sun." Just because recent generations (since the 60's) have championed "gay rights" and all of the other disordered sexual proclivities that have branched out from there doesn't mean that it's anything new. Just different labels and attitudes are prevalent today.

The sensationalism surrounding "Chaz" Bono is intentional. Her (she still has a vagina, from what I have learned, but no breasts and takes male hormones to grow a beard) "stardom" according to DWTS's bio is her activism for LGBQT rights.

Just as I had imagined, when Bono's mini-bio was presented it showed photos of her as the cute blonde little girl of Sonny and Cher. After a stint in lesbianism, she decided to transgender into a man. I feel sorry for the parents of young children who were probably caught off guard during that segment of the show. Perhaps they hadn't heard the warnings given by Dr. Keith Ablow.

It was a bit ironic. "Chaz" Bono (still a female) was partnered with a female professional dancer, yet Carson Kresley (a gay man) was heard complaining that he didn't get a male professional dancer. Hmmm....last year I wondered when that kind of "discrimination" on DWTS would be brought up. It's lucky season 13!

You asked:

"Would Jesus watch Dancing With The Stars?"

If T.V. was available during his ministry on this earth, I'm sure that he would most likely "be about his Father's business" rather than watching people dance. But since he is Diety, knows the past, present and future, and has conquered evil, sin, and death at the Cross and has ascended back to the right hand of the Father, he sees all anyway.


For 12 seasons, DWTS's presented a show where males danced with females - only. Why? Because there is a female role in dance and a male role in dance which is modeled after God's intention of creating them male and female. It's a shame that the producers of the show gave into the hype and pressure of the LGBQT agenda. IMO, the show has lost something very special because of their error in caving to secular humanistic paganism.

Christinewjc said...

Thanks for your comment Anonymous. I feel sorry for Miss Chastity Bono as well. Dr. Keith Ablow wrote that he would have helped counsel her in her gender confusion, but it certainly doesn't help that secular humanists celebrate the destruction of her sexual body parts. It is as if there are no longer any pathologies in psychiatry or psychology. The biblical phrase, "everyone did what was right in their own eyes" comes to mind. It's more and more prevalent with each passing generation.

I think you have hit on a perfect term for it - pseudo humanism. Transgenderism is a fake existence, just as all the rest of the LGBQT lifestyles.

Thanks for your words of encouragement. I appreciate it.

Sincerely,
Christine

Sure, paganism makes some people crazy. But they generally don't institutionalize it, as deists do.
As far as I know, “the world” doesn't acknowledge five sexes, but five sexual identities. I'm not aware that biology classes teach about more than two. Homosexuality has long been referred to as 'the third sex', but even there, one is usually one sex or the other. Also, as far as I know, no secular humanist celebrates the destruction of Chaz Bono's sexual body parts. Such statements gain you no honor.

By the way, just what is 'secular paganism'? You say that “such pagan activities are thousands of years old”, but followers of your God have sometimes indulged in this. Christianity is commonly characterized by mostly condemning and/or forsaking sex, in contrast to other, 'pagan' religions of the past that celebrated it. (Example: the Skoptsi.) You're not trying to tell me that gay-oriented activities never occurred among Christians, are you?

Thanks to you I now know more about Chaz Bono that I ever needed to know, and I've concluded that s/he is an attention whore. Having grown up as the child of two celebrities, and bathed in their reflected glow, s/he now wants to continue it. That sounds like the narcissism you love to condemn in people.
But I think I've accomplished more in my modest life than Chaz has, and I'd still rather spend my time watching How Do They Do It? than Dancing With The Stars. Each to his own.

Christinewjc said...

I'm short on time right now, but briefly I will say that the reason I wrote "secular humanistic paganism" is because the times we are living in are different from biblical times. Back then, there were paganistic rituals held in temples and involved belief in man-made gods.

Of course there are only two sexes. But others claim that there are more than two sexual identities and such belief comes from human imaginations and sinful behaviors. The evil spirits throughout the ages are busy tempting those who are not of God. But that's another subject.

I'm no expert in sexual identities, but from what I have gleaned from those who are "in the know" a transvestite is generally a male who likes to dress in female clothes (or vice versa). A transgender is someone who doesn't want to accept his/her sex at birth and wants to identify as the opposite sex. This may involve surgery or it may not. A transexual is someone who has surgically changed their sexual organs.

I guess that means that "Chaz" is only a transgender - not a transexual.

I think that Chastity Bono probably suffered greatly from neglect in her childhood because her celebrity parents were too busy to raise her themselves. What a tragedy.

Deuteronomy 23:1 says, ” He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.”

This passage seems to say nothing about intent at all. Just that a man without testicles or a penis shall not go to heaven?

As a man who has had to have his testicles removed I have wondered about this passage. Not too deeply, though, as I am not a believer.

You have given some interpretation in your post but you seem to imply that a man without testicles is transsexual. Is this correct? I can assure you that despite my lacking testicles I am still very much a man. With hormone replacement therapy I am very capable of sexual intercourse and the only thing I really have to worry about is explaining to a new sexual partner why my scrotum hangs empty.

I also think you ignore the brain in your post. As the saying goes, the brain is the biggest sexual organ. Science has shown that sexual identity is located in key areas of the brain and that those areas can be at conflict with a person's sex.

Seriously? None of you are gay or transgender... you know nothing of our experience. I'm a transwoman, and all I want to do is live my life with those I love. That's it. I don't want to "convince" anyone to be trans; trust me, it's not fun, nor is it cheap. I've tried to be "normal" for people like you for 24 years, and it almost ate me away. None of us wish this upon ourselves, and you folks shouldn't take us to task when you've not walked even a step in our shoes.

Empty Sack,

I apologize for not responding to your post back in Oct. 2011.

Being excluded from the congregation of Israel does not mean being excluded from heaven.

Please note the verse (in bold below) from Isaiah.

According to commentary from David Guzik:

A. Those excluded from the congregation of Israel.

1. (1) Eunuchs are excluded from the congregation of Israel.

He who is emasculated by crushing or mutilation shall not enter the assembly of the Lord.

a. By crushing or mutilation: This refers to those emasculated by either birth defect, accident, or by deliberate emasculation.

b. Shall not enter the assembly of the Lord: When we read this term, it usually refers to the nation gathered before the Lord in worship, such as when they were gathered at Mount Sinai (Deuteronomy 5:22; 9:10; 10:4, and 18:16). But it doesn’t always have this sense.

i. Deuteronomy 31:30 refers to all the congregation of Israel, while Deuteronomy 31:28 makes it clear that “all the congregation” was gathered through all the elders of your tribes, and your officers. So, in some contexts, the congregation can refer to elders and officers. It may very well be that these exclusions from the assembly of the Lord are exclusions not from the religious life of Israel, but from the political life of the nation.

ii. Poole suggests that the idea of the assembly of the Lord is the leadership, or the rulers of Israel. These people were barred not from the religious life of Israel, but from the political life of the nation. Trapp agrees, saying on shall not enter the assembly of the Lord: “Shall not go in and out before the people as a public officer.” Clarke adds, “If by entering into the congregation be meant the bearing a civil office among the people, such as magistrate, judge, &c., then the reason of the law is very plain.”

iii. Isaiah 56:3-5 shows that even eunuchs and foreigners could be accepted before the Lord if they would obey Him, and they would be accepted before the “normal” people who disobeyed God.

c. Shall not enter the assembly of the Lord: Eunuchs were excluded because God’s covenant with Israel was vitally connected with the idea of the seed, and emasculation is a “crime” against the seed of man. Additionally, most eunuchs were made to be so in pagan ceremonies where they were dedicated to pagan gods.

Anonymous of January 25, 2012 3:05:00 PM PST,

You did notice that it was not my intent to disparage persons who are transgender in this post. I am sharing and explaining what God's Word tells us on this issue.

Please note the post to "Empty Sack."

I think that it is tragic when people purposely mutilate themselves - for whatever reason. Even a teenager who is into "cutting" (cuts skin over and over again in a compulsive manner due to emotional or psychological problems) needs help with such a condition.

I can still recall when R. Richards (male tennis player in the 70's? I think) transgendered into Renee Richards. Years later he/she confessed that it was the wrong decision.

I don't think that Chastity/Chaz Bono wants to convince others to be trans - but I think that she/he wants to so normalize the idea that more and more young people who are confused about sexuality at young ages (who hasn't gone through SOME kind of sexual angst in their lives???) might think that what she/he did is "the answer." Someone who goes through all of that pain and suffering may severely regret it later in life (as Richards did).

Besides, NONE of us are genuinely "normal." Why? Because God's Word tells us the "all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."

Jesus Christ told us, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." I believe this. Do you? If you want more information please visit this page:

God bless you,
