Man Wants to be Treated as a Woman

 

By this time, most of us have read or heard of the betrayal of Bradley Manning, the soldier who “leaked” 700,000 classified documents in 2010. Manning served in Iraq in 2010 and it was at this time that he posted these classified American documents to the website WikiLeaks.

Manning was sentenced to 35 years in prison but will be eligible for parole in only seven!  We sometimes wonder how the government can treat murderers, abortionists, immoral people, and others with such leniency instead of sentencing them to the punishment that they rightly deserve. But we gladly leave this to the civil government and know that God uses the state for His own purposes and according to His own plan (cf. Romans 13:1-7).

The reports today continue to proclaim the news for the gullible readers and in the process they are involved in a brainwash tactic that influences the public readers toward immoral thinking and acting. It further condition people to accept all kinds of bizarre behavior with an attitude of non-judgment. Here are excerpts of the news from TODAY. It is an article by Scott Stump entitled, “Manning wants to get married and have a family, attorney says”:

Eligible for parole in seven years after being sentenced Wednesday to 35 years in a military prison, Chelsea Manning dreams of one day returning to school and starting a family. [You will notice that above and below, we are highlighting the untrue references to Bradley as a woman!]

Do you see that Stump is calling Bradley (a man) with the name that he prefers, “Cheslea”! Bradley is not a woman, so how can we call him a woman? How bizarre and nonsensical! Let’s continue:

The soldier formerly known as Bradley Manning, who provided an exclusive statement to TODAY Thursday indicating that she wants to live as a woman named Chelsea, has begun serving her sentence inside Fort Leavenworth’s disciplinary barracks. Manning was convicted on 20 counts ranging from espionage to theft for leaking more than 700,000 classified documents to the website WikiLeaks while serving in Iraq in 2010. Manning is already looking toward the future.

“She wants to get a degree,’’ Manning’s attorney, David Coombs, told TODAY Friday. “She wants to hopefully find somebody that she loves. Get married. Perhaps have a family.”

You will notice again that Stump, the writer, is calling Bradley a woman, and using feminine pronouns, such as “she” and “her.” How can one acquiesce to perversion of this sort?  How can one honor Bradley’s request that he (not she) be treated as a woman?  Let’s continue:

Manning has requested hormone therapy while at Fort Leavenworth, but the Army said in a statement that it does not provide that treatment or sex-reassignment surgery. Manning has not requested surgery.

Within hours of Thursday’s announcement about Manning’s desire to live as a woman, the phrase “Chelsea Manning” was trending on Twitter worldwide. Reaction ranged from outrage to sympathy. 

This would indicate that Bradley wants to be called with a woman’s name, he wants to be referred to as a woman, and he wants to dress as a woman. This transgender perspective is a perversion of what God intended in the beginning and still wants.  Moses wrote, “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). The Lord created a man and a woman (Adam and Eve), but no third category—a man who wants to be a woman.  Let’s continue further along in the article:

Manning’s announcement Thursday raised issues of how news organizations covering the story refer to a high-profile transgender individual. Manning, in the statement, asked the public to use the pronoun “she.” 

The AP Stylebook indicates that news organizations who follow the style “use the pronoun preferred by the individuals who have acquired the physical characteristics of the opposite sex or present themselves in a way that does not correspond with their sex at birth.”

“People need to understand that this is for real,” Dr. Nancy Snyderman told TODAY. “A person for gender dysphoria wants to live as the other gender. That requires psychiatric evaluation, years of hormone treatment, and sometimes surgery but not necessarily.” (today.com/news/ manning-wants-get-married -have-family-attorney- says-6C10984804)

Regardless of Bradley’s preference, it is a lie to refer to him as a woman. Whatever the news organizations choose to do, the Christian knows what God’s will is. Regardless of the perversions in America today (whether it be sodomy, transvestitism, transgenderism, or any other perversion), the Christian who honors God’s Word knows what the truth is and what the mind of God is.

Large numbers of people in America now say that it is fine for sodomites to “marry” and enter a legitimate “marriage.” As in the case of Bradley, this is closing one’s eyes to the truth. Calling a sodomite immoral relationship as a “marriage” doesn’t make it so.  Calling an apple with the name “orange,” doesn’t make the apple an orange!  Calling a dog with the name “cat,” doesn’t make the dog a cat.  Neither does calling an immoral sodomite relationship a marriage doesn’t make it so and calling Manning a “woman” doesn’t change what he is—a man.  Yes, a very perverted, immoral and unlawful man, but still a man!
