This Memorial Day, Let Us Remember that Christ Won 2000 Years Ago

Some gentle readers may be dismayed that I have spent so much time of late writing about the spiritual nature of the culture war.  Some may be atheist or agnostic.  I get it.  In the Gospels, Jesus is often descibed as driving the demons out of a person.  I was told when I was young that what really happened was that Jesus healed a epileptic or someone with a mental disease.  And I believed this for a long time.  You may too.  But I have learned that demons are as real as the Three Persons of the Godhead are: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Satan is real, and does real damage here on earth.

But I am not the only one, and increasingly, Christians are coming to the realization that we all need to turn to God, to call upon His name, because what is happening is not man made evil, but rather is of the devil himself. Thus, I welcome yet another writer, at the American Thinker, Trevor Thomas, who penned an article yesterday entitled Transgenderism and its War On Truth. Thomas makes the writes that debating what is a man and what is a woman is pointless. We have known these things since Adam and Eve. The Left has muddied the water with made up words like "cisgendered," and indeed the concept of gender as a separate thing from sex. They write so called "scholarly" papers that andvance these silly concepts, and the gullible media breathlessly report this garbage.  The sex of a child "is" at the moment of conception, and not "assigned" at birth as the Left claims.

In all the conversation that is prevalent throughout the Earth today, there is almost nothing further from the truth than the absurd and evil notion that men can become women, and that women can become men, or similarly, the idea that sex (or “gender”) is not binary and rather “a spectrum.” These ideas are so absurd and so far from the truth (in line with 2 + 2 = 5) that many modern liberals refuse—or perhaps more accurately, have yet—to embrace them.

We shouldn’t be surprised that we are now having to debate what is a male and what is a female, or that sex is binary. Transgenderism, and all its fallacies, is simply what results when one abandons the notion of absolute truth. The idea that some things are settled for all time is not a tenet of modern liberalism.

The truth about truth flies in the face of those who wish to rule their own world and write their own moral code. So you see, transgenderism—like the marriage debate—is just another battle in the war on truth. Granted, it is a battle against one of the oldest truths—even older than the truth of what is marriage—in the history of humanity. Few things have been known longer than what is a male, and what is a female, yet the left’s war on this old and foundational truth rages on.

It rages on because if doubt can be cast on the truth of sex (males/females), then doubt (and subsequent lies) can creep into virtually ANY realm of truth. This is why the enemy of all humanity; the enemy of all truth—Satan—is so hard at work here. Yes, this is indeed a spiritual war, and The Father of Lies is winning many battles.

Satan does indeed appear to be winning many battles. And those aligned with Satan are quick to tell us so. For example, the daughter of Turkish president Erdogan tells us that Islam will break the cross, meaning that Islam will win the culture war.  Paul writes in Ephesians that:

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

But we Christians know that Christ won the war 2000 years ago. Sorry Muslims, but either you stand with Him, or you lose. There is time yet to repent. In the book of Revelation we read that God will, for a time, release the devil to wreak havoc on humanity. It certainly feels like that prophesy may be coming true, though I do not know. God has not included me in His plans:-) But on this Memorial Day, it certainly doesn't hurt to include our nation in our prayers. Pray that God sweeps all of Satan's demons from our shores, and turns everyone to face God, to repent and do His will in our lives. And pray in Jesus name.
