I do agree with you. That child is abused by his mother.

Focus on what we can change. We change us first. You see, when I at last get this wood out my own, then I'll see clearly exactly how to remove that wee speck from my brother's eye. And, Jesus says let's work on getting some eye surgery for that beam sticking out of my eye. So, first things first.

So you have heard about this story as well? But what am I supposed to do? I am sick and tired of watching these people push on these demands and the succeed little by little.

You only can change your own little world, not the big world. If I will meet a transgender the only thing I can do is tell my story how Jesus freed me from my own gender dysphoria. And...praying is a powerfull thing.

Oh, I feel your rage, my friend. By all counts, porn shouldn't even exist and we should all be in happy, healthy relationships. So, what we find is that there is the way the world should be, and then there is the way it is.

Yes, but I am also concerned for my own children (who don't exist yet). I don't want to send them to a school where they are taught and indirectly encouraged to change their gender. I don't want my boy come home one day and say that he is a girl and that the teacher said it was great. Where is this society going to? I'm afraid.

Well, just take a jackass like me, for example. I want to do the right things, but I quickly forget that all that abuse I endured as a child has left me scared and undeveloped in many ways. In some areas, I'm a total wizard, in others I'm as inept as ineptitude could ever be.

I find a war going on in my members. The spirit is willing, indeed? The flesh? Useless and weakened by the body of sin. A wretched man I am. Who will save me from this body of death? Only Christ can. So, I join with the congregation so that we can mutually supply in the Spirit all of those things that all of us may lack. I can't do it by myself. Sorry, it's only in the church.

I agree it's not an easy time, but at the other hand, it happened for decennia that people came home with the message: mom, dad, I think I'm homesexual.

Actually nothing new 's under the sun.

But, if you see great injustice in the world, do not wonder at it overmuch. In first century Rome, children were trafficked as temple prostitutes. So, it's not quite that bad...yet.

Let we lead us through the Holy Spirit every day of our life.

John 16:33 - “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” - Jesus

Remember one thing, the Bible clearly states that things will get worse and worse in the last days.

I know its extremely frustrating but they are only doing the desires of their hearts, which is evil. You can only pray and introduce them to God and only he can change that desire from evil to good.
Fighting with these people is pointless as it only makes them more stubborn.
I sometimes feel like getting out a whip and going crazy on some of them (Like Jesus did in the temple) especially when kids are involved.

And remember: there are more churches and christians ever since the time of Jesus....

That thread was quickly removed by the mods btw :/

Introduce them to god? You risk to get a beating. There might be more churches, but there is also a Pope who is praying to a pagan statue. And I see it just like you: they do it to themselves, I tolerate that, but they do it to innocent children. When a boy one day comes home and says that he is gay, I wouldn't like it but I would accept it I guess. But if he comes home and says he wants hormones and a surgery to get silicon implants, that is mutilation to me and there is no going back.

OK, thank you. I will remind myself to set my house in perfect order. There is a lot of mess to clean anyway. Let them do. But I will defend my family.

I think we need to love one another as Jesus loved (John 13:34-35). The world definition of tolerance, marriage and love has certainly digressed completely from the christian view but I still feel I need to press on and love.
