?? Anchoring In God's Design: Protecting Children From Ideological Deception And Medical Intervention ???

"In a world rife with confusion and deceit, we must stand unwavering in the truth that each person is fearfully and wonderfully made by God. Our mission is to protect our children, guiding them in the light of God's perfect design against the encroaching darkness of false ideologies." - Mathew Lehnig

In a world increasingly influenced by shifting cultural narratives and ideologies, it is vital for believers to anchor their understanding of identity and purpose in the timeless truths of Scripture. As society grapples with deceitful lies, manipulation, and evil misinformation surrounding biological sex, a faith-based perspective offers clarity and guidance rooted in the belief that God purposefully creates every individual. This perspective emphasizes the sanctity of God's creation, the divine roles and responsibilities of parents, and the paramount importance of protecting our children from extreme ideologies and evil interventions. By turning to the Bible, we find wisdom and strength to uphold God's design, challenging these evil ideologues with prayer, faith, commitment, and God's holy and sovereign word.??

Creation in God's Image

Each person is created in the image of God, with inherent worth and purpose. This belief is grounded in the understanding that God intentionally designed every individual's biological sex, which is immutable and divinely ordained. Recognizing and embracing one's biological sex is seen as an essential part of living in harmony with God's plan.

Biblical Scripture:

• Genesis 1:27: "So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
• Psalm 139:13-14: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."

From this perspective, any attempt to alter one's biological sex through medical interventions is seen as challenging God's perfect design. God's creation is intentional, and each individual's sex is an integral part of their identity as created by God. The belief is that embracing one's biological sex is an act of faith and trust in God's plan. This perspective sees attempts to change one's sex as a rejection of God's wisdom and authority. Accepting and celebrating one's biological sex is viewed as an acknowledgment of God's sovereignty and a commitment to living out His purpose.

Role of Parents

Parents are given the divine responsibility to guide, protect, and nurture their children. They are seen as stewards entrusted by God to raise their children according to His teachings and values. This includes instilling in them a sense of their God-given identity and purpose.

Biblical Scripture:

• Proverbs 22:6: "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it."
• Ephesians 6:4: "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."

Parents have the God-given authority to make decisions that are in the best interest of their children's spiritual, mental, and physical well-being. This includes guiding them in understanding and accepting their God-given biological sex. The parental role is seen as a divine appointment to lead their children in faith and morality, ensuring they grow up in accordance with biblical principles. Parents are charged with the task of creating a home environment that reflects God's love and truth, providing a firm foundation for their children's future.

Protection of Children

Children are vulnerable and in need of protection from making irreversible decisions about their bodies. Parents are seen as their protectors, responsible for ensuring their safety and well-being in alignment with God's design. This includes safeguarding them from societal pressures and manipulative ideologues that contradict biblical teachings.

Biblical Scripture:

• Matthew 18:6: "If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea."
• Proverbs 14:26: "Whoever fears the Lord has a secure fortress, and for their children it will be a refuge."

Protecting children from harm is a paramount concern. Allowing children to make life-altering medical decisions is viewed as failing to protect them from potential physical and psychological damage. Faith-based believers state with Godly conviction that all children should be shielded from exposure to manipulation, lies, and the cohesion of evil-doers. A child's development must be guided by principles rooted in faith and morality. Providing children with a secure and loving environment helps them grow into their God-given identity and His divine purpose for everyone.

Moral and Ethical Concerns

There are significant moral and ethical concerns about altering a child's body through medical interventions. These interventions are seen as evil and wicked, interfering with God's design and causing long-term harm and even death. Upholding God's moral integrity and ethical standards is essential to every Doctor in the medical field!

Biblical Scripture:

• Psalm 127:3: "Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him."
• Jeremiah 1:5: "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

Each child is a gift from God, created with purpose and intention. Intervening in their natural development through medical procedures is viewed as a violation of this divine purpose. The moral and ethical stance is that such interventions cause irreversible harm, straying from the path God has set for each individual. Ensuring that medical practices honor the sanctity of life and the integrity of the human body is seen as a crucial aspect of faithful living.

Mental Health and God's Divine Plan

biblical incongruence with God's divine plan for men and women should be addressed through counseling and spiritual support, helping individuals find peace and acceptance with their biological sex as designed by God. This approach aligns with seeking God's will and purpose for their lives.

Biblical Scripture:

• Philippians 4:6-7: "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
• Romans 12:2: "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing, and perfect will."

Mental health issues that are biblically incongruent with God's divine plan for man and women should be addressed through a combination of prayer, spiritual guidance, and psychological support that aligns with biblical teachings. This approach seeks to help individuals accept and embrace their God-given roles, promoting peace and understanding through faith rather than medical alterations. Finding one's identity in Christ and understanding His love and purpose can lead to profound healing and acceptance.

Critique of Contentious Policies

Contentious Policies that mandate a child's misguided gender choice due to manipulation and without parental consent undermine parental authority and religious values. Such policies are viewed as an overreach that leads to manipulation, deceit, confusion, and great harm. Upholding the rights and responsibilities of parents is essential for the moral and spiritual development of children.

Biblical Scripture:

• Colossians 3:20: "Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord."
• Deuteronomy 6:6-7: "These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.

Assertion policies that bypass parental consent are seen as infringing upon the God-given role of parents to guide their children's moral and spiritual development. These policies are believed to cause confusion and distress among children and undermine the family structure ordained by God. Maintaining the integrity of parental authority is seen as vital for fostering a nurturing environment where children can grow in faith and wisdom.

Faith and Community Support

Faith-based communities provide crucial support networks for individuals and families dealing with gender identity issues, emphasizing prayer, spiritual guidance, and adherence to religious teachings. These communities play a vital role in upholding and reinforcing the values and principles of faith.

Biblical Scripture:

• Hebrews 10:24-25: "And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching."
• Galatians 6:2: "Carry each other's burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ."

Faith-based communities offer a support system that aligns with biblical teachings, providing encouragement, prayer, and guidance to help individuals and families navigate issues related to gender identity. These communities play a vital role in upholding and reinforcing the values and principles of faith. The collective support of a faith community can provide strength, clarity, and a sense of belonging, helping individuals and families remain steadfast in their beliefs.

Accountability for Causing Harm to Children

Those who promote or enact policies and practices that cause harm to children through gender-affirming care should be held accountable. This includes educators, medical professionals, and policymakers who support interventions seen as contrary to God's design. Ensuring accountability aligns with protecting the innocent and upholding justice.

Biblical Scripture:

• Ezekiel 34:10: "This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I am against the shepherds and will hold them accountable for my flock. I will remove them from tending the flock so that the shepherds can no longer feed themselves. I will rescue my flock from their mouths, and it will no longer be food for them."
• James 3:1: "Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly."

There is a strong belief in holding accountable those who lead children astray or cause them harm through deceitful and manipulative words, Extremist ideological beliefs, medical maleficence, and ungodly and demonic mutilative procedures. This includes manipulative educators, wicked medical professionals, and extremist policymakers who advocate for and implement these wicked interventions. As followers of Christ, we must argue that such actions are not only evil but irreversible medical procedures that cause physical and psychological harm and also lead children away from the truth of God's love and design. Those responsible must be held accountable for their evil actions. Ensuring all children's well-being and spiritual integrity are protected is a spiritual fight that must never falter. Upholding justice and protecting the vulnerable are seen as critical responsibilities for those in positions of authority.
