Well written article. What kind of Creator would make a person one way then turn around and condemn him/her for behaving the way he was created?

Comment on Romney Holds Fire On Gingrich, but Not Obama by Frances

All actions towards Gingrich are from self-inflicted wounds. It’s so cute to see Gingrich being endorse by Perry and Cain. I’m sure Gingrich will watch with his own awe Perry’s “Deer in the head lights look” as he repeats “Oops” over and over again! And Cain’s endorsement reeks of complacency with Newton’s gregarious philandering. Gingrich – the defrocked speaker of the House, original godfather of government gridlock, two-faced philandering impeacher of Bill Clinton, fondler of six-figure Tiffany jewels and now in a dead heat with Romney? Not! I like the debates and wait for one or two go down in flames. This is bigotry and discrimination in America. This bigotry and prejudice is taught. From mother and father and friendships. It even emanates from our political leaders. Bigotry and prejudice are alive in 2012! Newton Leroy called Barack Obama the “Food Stamp President! Continuing with poor people should want paychecks, not handouts. In South Carolina, the center of bigotry and discrimination in the South as they still fly the Confederacy flag. His tactic in South Carolina smacks of the type of rhetoric used in his “Southern Strategy” and his “bread and butter” wordage bordering on racism. Romney and Gingrich sniping at each other proves how childish these guys are. Every politician running for any office any where in America should be held to the judicial standard of Voir Dire in every word they speak!

I believe there is an argument for a more basic determination of gender, and that would be the presence, or lack thereof, of the Y chromosome. While I realize there are some anomalies that complicate this, such as the XXY condition, the XX and XY pairing is as basic a determiner we are aware.

Good Morning,

I enjoyed reading your blog. I do, however, want to comment on the term you use throughout the blog, “mainstream “Christian” society.”
I am 55 years old. I am a female. My spiritual journey has taken me through several religious faiths within Christianity. I have always, to date, found the same belief with regards to this issue. That those who practice living in a relationship with one of the opposite gender is a moral sin. I have yet to experience a Christian faith which says anything different. So, I am not sure what you mean by, “mainstream “Christian” society.” Instead, I have seen the “mainstream media” and liberals within our society push the idea of homesexuality being genetically based down our throats for years. Having said this, I have observed some faiths within Christianity becoming more liberal with reagards to fellowshipping with those who choose to practice this type of moral sin, attempting to practice “love and tolerance.” Just as they would practice “love and tolerance” towards an adulterer, a greedy person, an idolater, a slanderer, a drunkard, or a swindler. There are many kinds of sexual sin. The practice of sexual sin with one of the same gender is only one form. The Bible warns us not to even associate ourselves with a person who is actively participating in any of these sins, if that person refers to himself or herself as a “brother.” We are instructed to not even eat with such a person. The Bible refers to such people as being “wicked” or “evil.”This means to me a person who considers himself or herself a “Christian.” My prayer is that the “mainstream “Christian” society will continue to proclaimt the Good News: “Because He Himself suffered when He was tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.” Christ has come, Christ has died, Christ WILL COME AGAIN!!!

From what I read it looks as though I agree with you,there is no homosexual gender.This does only cover a narrow aspect of sexuality,however.You have answered your own preconceived questions very well but the broader issue of what falls under “homosexual sin” needs to be addressed with hermophrodism in mind and also the separate issue of whether it is genitals or chromosomes that truly determine ones sex.Regardless of my views I have to understand this is a tough personal issue for those involved.Most importantly every person regardless of sexuality has worth in the eyes of Christ and an eternal soul.Thankfully my views have always coinsided with my sexuality.As Christians I believe all sexual immorality is sin and it seems “we” spend an inordinate amount of time condeming homosexual acts while not speaking of heterosexual fornication.
Medically speaking there have been humans who have been found to be chromosomally male/female but physically express a different gender.
Good luck in your new position.The last sentence of your article is profound and must be embraced by all especially we Christians.

Hey Linda Olden-Smith:
You’re not shy about mixing into raging controversy. Me either. But politics (where most raging confusion resides) is an environment where people assume a fetal position and spit and claw – when an attack is assumed. Logic, understanding, concern for fellow man, science and religion automatically go out the window and the battle is on. But it is an important battle if civility is to survive.
Glad you are doing Raging Epelumps.
Please go to: http://www.windstream.net/news/read.php?rip_id=%3CD9SHGCC01%40news.ap.org%3E&ps=1016 and see some more psychobabble concerning the gender syndrome. But we know that girding ourselves with the truth (not a personal perceptive version) is a laudable goal and stands the test of history despite wars and torture, grand speeches, intimidations, confusion and ignorance, etc. And walking down that narrow path toward the light has its glorious benefits. The forces against meditative contemplation are considerable. Please keep girding for all of us Ms. Linda Olden-Smith

The media pushes for homosexual is because they want every kind of sexually immorality. Everything they do is for that goal. Almost 100 per cent of homosexuals will admit if asked, that they were sexually assaulted by an adult when they were a child. This usually is not done with violence but with someone acting like they care. And then it repeats for generations. Homosexuals need help. They are mostly in misery. People who investigate crimes will tell you.
The media regularly pushed sex with children 50 years ago with the Kinsey Report, Male. See page 180. Today they cover up the Safe School Czar. All of these lies will continue as long as Christians don’t pray against this. If they are supporting the media, they are not praying against it.

“Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.”

“We in the West must bear in mind that the poor countries are poor primarily because we have exploited them through political or economic colonialism.”

“When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.”

Yep, that sounds just like a Republican.

I love you Apostle Claver but Ron Paul is not an isolationist nor is he irrational. He preaches a philosophy upon which we can all agree and that is individual FREEDOM.
I hope you continue with your high degree of energy and intellect, I know you’re still evolving. Remain sincere and you will develop a huge following. Your article is one of the best I’ve read about the “time to fall” in; except for the comments on Ron Paul.

Thank you for providing the forum

Ron Paul is the only true conservitive left, media has been continuously hammering Rommney as the nominee we the people must reject that notion. Look voting records u clearly see that the rehtoric does not match, except for Ron Paul. Rommey,Gingrich,Santorum, and Perry are all Republicrats not fit for leadershiip. Foriegn policy the establishment claims that Paul is somehow a crazy nutjob but ask the military members who have sent more money to the Paul campaign than any other canidate. Whats is crazy our current foreign policy of nation building and so called democracy around the world. We are a republic wake up out of your spell America.
