Coming to a "conservative" church near you.

A thread.

nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-ne…
Many conservative churches follow the lead of society by 10 years or so. It's a subtle form of worldly conformity.

They already have gay pastors and gay conferences, just like the mainline churches of 10-20 years ago.
As society ratchets up the gay pressure, more churches will try to assuage the powers-that-be.

Again, conservative churches are already allowing the celibate gay lobby to talk about transgender...
...such as Sam Allberry. In 2019, he gave a (somewhat helpful) lecture on transgender. But dropped this bombshell:
He also made other points that pave the way for transgendered pastors.

"None of us, not a single one of us, is qualified to determine our own [sexual] identity. And whatever identity we come up for ourselves will not be a good fit."
Christianity Today published an essay the grooms the church for tranny pastors.

Of course, it was written by the founder of Revoice.

TGC opens the door to more transgendered in the church as well.

(In the name of "love," of course)

Transgenderism at the Evangelical Theological Society--it's true.

Spurious reasoning cannot compare to the power of stories to change churches.

"..evangelicals, led by a few brave congregations, are bound to change their views on gay and transgender people sooner rather than later...the power of narrative, of story..."

It's coming. Are you prepared?

Big Eva's dismal track record resisting Big Gay means they will start publishing preferred pronouns in their church directories in the next few years.

A thread

That post was from last year. But the man is still the cultural face of conservative Christianity.

He already gave into Big Gay earlier in 2019

(One of his close friends is gay)

Editor of The Gospel Coalition and endorsed by many big-named conservative and Reformed people, Allberry thinks using someone's false pronouns is a way to win their hearts.

The power of Big Trans to rewrite truth.

A thread.

Today Ellen Page announced she was no longer a lesbian. Instead, she announced her new name and preferred pronouns: Elliot and "he/they". Image
We see the power of Big Trans in Wikipedia.

Already, Wiki published a page for Elliot with male pronouns.

Yesterday, there was only the Wiki page for Ellen. When you search for Ellen Page and click on the Wiki link, it takes you to Elliot.

Left: Dec. 1, Right: Nov. 30 ImageImage
We see the power of Big Trans in Google.

A search for either Ellen or Elliot page offers the same "knowledge panel" on the right. Image

A glimpse into a Chicago riot.

1/n

"Aurora’s police chief joined peaceful protests. Rioters wreaked havoc in the downtown hours later."

Chicago Times, June 1, 2020
2/n

Some context

"In Aurora, the day began with [police superintendent] Ziman inviting protesters to the Police Department to discuss Floyd’s death...[she] has repeatedly spoken out against the officers involved in the case..."

Ziman: aurora-il.org/726/Chief-of-P…
3/n

"At the Sunday afternoon protest, she joined the crowd in their chants of “justice now.”

How does this reinforce the system she swore to uphold that is just starting. The trial date is not even set yet. Protests can come after the trial.

The decline of America in my lifetime.

The U.S. birthrate fell again in 2018, to 3,788,235 births — ...It's the lowest number of births in 32 years, according to a new federal report. The numbers also sank the U.S. fertility rate to a record low.

A nation cannot survive without a new generation.

"it's an ongoing slump: 2018 was the fourth consecutive year of birth declines..."

Importing a new population is not working.

"Birthrates fell for nearly all racial and age groups, with only slight gains for women in their late 30s and early 40s, the CDC says."

We are in a life and death battle. They. Are. Grooming. Our. Children. Why would NRO writer endorse this movie?

nationalreview.com/2020/03/movie-…
2/n Grooming = getting ppl comfortable w/ wickedness.

Disney & Pixar intentionally put a lesbian character in the movie.

"She appears in just one scene, but makes a clear reference to her “girlfriend” — making her the studio’s first openly gay character."
3/n
In this case, grooming is through symbolism as well. So when the symbol becomes more common, the meaning behind the symbol is more acceptable.

They already co-opted the rainbow.

Notice the unicorn horn?

Ladies and Gentlemen, the founder & president of Revoice—the annual coming-out celibate gay event.

This early 21st Century Ph.D. celibate gay man tries to upend 2000 years of collective church wisdom.

He first starts with made-up words. Image

Initially ppl were confused. Then he offered a partial answer. ImageImageImage
3/n

Which answer spawned more questions.

These important questions unearth an important fact: that the celibate gay movement has many speakers who want to level the moral ground between hetero and homo.

For obvious reasons... Image
