Biden Turns Christianity on Its Head
Tyler O'Neil / March 15, 2023
**This is disgusting. President Joe Biden calls it "close to
sinful" for Florida to protect children from experimental trans-
gender medical interventions.
Gender ideology preys upon the young, convincing girls and
boys that they were born in the wrong body and rushing them
onto experimental drugs, hormones, and surgeries that will leave
them stunted, scarred, and infertile. Yet the ostensible Catholic
who currently occupies the Oval Office not only supports this
horror but had the gall to condemn those who would protect
children from it as sinful and cruel.
President Joe Biden slammed the Florida Health Department
efforts that prioritize counseling over medical transitions for
children, calling these efforts close to sinful and cruel.
The president emphasized the humanity of children who struggle
with an identity at odds with their biological sex, saying, They
love, they have feelings, they have inclinations as if to suggest
that the Florida Health Department considers these kids as
subhuman.
Biden didn't address the horrific outcomes of transgender
medical interventions, which Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis team
highlighted in a gruesome ”yet revealing ”video responding to
Biden. The president also didn't address the recent scandal in
St. Louis, Missouri, in which a pro-transgender whistleblower
claimed that a gender clinic rushed kids into medical transitions
on extremely flimsy grounds.
Biden also didn't address Pope Francis statement Friday
”three days before Biden's remarks aired Sunday” that the ide-
ology of gender is one of the most dangerous ideological coloni-
zations, denying the richness¦ of men and women, and of all
humanity in the tension of the differences.
Instead, Biden adopted religious language to advance a cause
directly opposite from the official teaching of the Roman Catho-
lic Church and from the witness of Scripture and Christian tra-
dition for the past 2,000 years. He adopted the moral authority
to declare sinful what Catholicism doesn't consider sinful, and
to advocate a teaching that contradicts Genesis 1:27, thus turn-
ing Christianity on its head.
This moral inversion reminds me of a similar episode in my
own life. While in D.C. one summer, I attended a service at
Washington National Cathedral in which the priest preached
against the sin of heterosexism.
Christians must live out compassion and we must remember
”as redeemed sinners ourselves” not to strut about as if we are
morally superior to those who struggle with different sins and
temptations. Yet the notion that heterosexism is a sin doesn't
just entail condemning an animus against people who struggle
with same-sex attraction. It also suggests that the moral en-
dorsement of heterosexual activity (in certain contexts) over
homosexual activity is itself a violation of God's law.
In this short statement, the priest compared historic
Christian teaching on sexuality to racism and sexism. The priest
suggested that the doctrine of marriage as the union of male and
female for life ”which St. Paul describes as a mystery pre-
figuring the marriage of Christ and the church (Ephesians
5:31-33)” traces back to ignorant animus against gays, rather
than a fundamental truth of the universe. It is hard to fathom
the pride and disobedience of such a statement.
Similarly, Biden's remarks defending experimental medical
interventions for children in the name of transgender identity
appear to signal a political weaponization of his religious
faith unmoored from its actual tenets. Only when the president's
Catholicism becomes a political tool can he wield it to advance
goals directly at odds with the basic tenets of his mother
church.
Besides Francis condemnations of transgender ideology, the
Bible speaks to gender issues, condemning cross-dressing
(Deuteronomy 22:5, 1 Corinthians. 11:3-15) and teaching that
God created humans male and female.
Both the Old Testament and the New Testament urge believers
to serve the orphan and the widow, and Jesus warns his disciples
about children, saying that whoever causes one of these little
ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to
have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drown-
ed in the depth of the sea (Matthew 18:5-6).
The Bible doesn't directly weigh in on many political issues,
but it strains credulity to imagine that Jesus approves of tel-
ling children the lie that they are really members of the oppo-
site sex and urging them to take experimental drugs with long-
term consequences to which they arguably cannot consent, setting
them on a path to removing perfectly healthy sex organs.
It's hard to imagine anything more cruel than that.**
We will ALL be judged by God in the end times and only he
knows what is or is not in Biden and Democrats hearts.
I remember the DNC booed God 3 times at the 2012 convention
and those in charged realized what was happening so
they passed the proposal to add God to their platform and Since
that day I could not get past it.
Joe invokes God but often never seems to walk the walk and
he too will be judged.
I pray for his soul.
Conservatively,
