Godless America? - 03/03/2021

Last week there were a lot of powerful arguments against the Equality Act, but Republican Greg Steube resorted to the ultimate authority - The Holy Bible. During an intense debate on the House floor, the Florida representative said it was time for his colleagues to hear the truth about the transgender issue.

Steube read from Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman must not wear men's clothing nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this." Then Steube explained: " It's not clothing or personal style that offends God, but rather the use of one's appearance to act out or take on a sexual identity different from the one biologically assigned by God at birth." What's happening when men, women and children do that "they're making a statement that God didn't know what He was doing when He created them." And if Congress supports that ....by passing extreme transgender bills such as the Equality Act, then this country is "going directly against what is laid out in scripture."

Democrats, irate that the Florida congressman dared to quote the word of God on the House floor, unleashed on Steube. Everyone from Al-Green (D-Texas) to Katherine Clark (D-Mass,), shamed him for being transphobic and intolerant.

But it was congressman's Jerry Nadler's response that was the most shocking and revealing: "Mr. Steube," he said pointedly, "what any religious tradition describes as God's will is no concern of this congress."

Is anyone reading this, surprised? I'm disappointed but not at all surprised. Since the minute Joe Biden became president, he's made it his mission to destroy any sense of sanity on the issue, even nominating a man who identifies as a woman to the second most important post in the department of health and human services.

Congressmen Steube warned the congress " Whenever a nation's laws no longer reflect the standards of God, that nation...will inevitably bear the consequences."

As you all know, the Equality Act was passed in the house, but I am hoping will be rejected by enough Senate republicans to be completely discarded. Even a cursory reading of the provisions of the Act will expose the horrid implications of its passing. May God completely shred such a wicked affront to His holy word.

Have you heard that Democratic law makers in California are currently considering passing a bill that would require departmental stores to remove "Boys" and "Girls" labels from their merchandise locations within the store? Have our State's lawmakers gone insane, stupid or both?

Of course, I still believe that "Unless the Lord builds the house, they labor in vain that build it."
