He was a great teacher… he took a pocket knife and pretended that he was going to cut off one of my friends ears.

1. Exposing the Lies
Illustration:
What in the world is happening?
a.
A Rejection of Truth
The dilemma is that we have exchanged the truth about God for a lie.
it’s not things listed in point number 1
it’s not things that are around the corner
it’s an idolatrous heart
Romans 1:23-25
Exchange/Substitue the glory of God into something temporary
Exchanged the truth of God into a lie.
This is a religion issue.
“This movement attacks God’s Word that repeatedly states the sinfulness of sexual activitity outside of marriage.
The movement appeals to humanities whims and opinions as an authority to supersede what God says in the Bible.
it is, without a doubt, a humanistic religions.
To be more precise, it is called sexual humanism.”
b.
A Redefining of Terms
Gender and sex were always synonymous… up until recently.
Apconsugender - a gender where you know what it isn’t but not what it is.
Heliogender - a gender that is warm and burning
Perigender - identifying with a gender but not as a gneder
Verangender - a gender that seems to shift or change the moment it is identified.

What does the Bible say?
a. Gender/Body
‘Transgender’ ideology is grounded in the idea that the body isn’t an essential part of our being (a viewpoint known as essentialism).
Our ‘gender identity’ is fluid, a social constrcut that can change.
we may well be a man trapped in a woman’s body, for example; our identity does not necessarily match our body.
In such instances, many ‘transgender’ people opt for reconstructive surgery so their identity fits with their body (an essentialist view, ironically).”
(pg.
73)
b.
Sex
(Genesis 1:28) implies the necessity of their having sex.
Later, we read that "Adam made love to his wife Eve"
Genesis 4:1
, with the result that a son was born.
Besides expanding the human race,
God designed sex for the physical, emotional, and spiritual union between one man and one woman for life (Genesis 2:18, 23–24; Matthew 19:4–6; 1 Corinthians 7:32–34).
God’s design for sex between a married man and woman is good and honorable (Hebrews 13:4).
There is nothing shameful, dirty, or dishonorable about sex; in fact, in their state of innocence, "the man and his wife were both naked, and they were not ashamed" (Genesis 2:25).
c.
Marriage
