For example, Moses warned the leaders and judges of Israel about this very thing (Deut. 1:17).

(Protestia) Two weeks ago, a woman attending James River Church’s faced scrutiny and worldwide skepticism after releasing a video claiming that three of her toes that were previously amputated were miraculously regrown during a healing service Bill Johnson was speaking at. Lead pastor John Lindell co-signed the miracle, recounting, “As the ladies prayed for Krissy over the next 30 minutes, all three toes grew, and by that point, were longer than her pinky toe. Within an hour, nails began to grow on all the toes.” 
“Butterfield…had previously advocated for the use of such pronouns, but now acknowledges that it was sinful. In a statement, she said that using transgender pronouns was a sin against the ninth commandment, the creation ordinance, and image-bearing. She also stated that it discouraged progressive sanctification, falsified the gospel, cheapened redemption, and failed to love her neighbor.”

“In America, pagan nationalism shows up in the politicization of anti-biblical morals. Common moral binaries of the past, like normative heterosexual marriage and male-female distinctions, are denied. Instead of biblical morals influencing the policies of the nation, it is anti-biblical morality that is imposed on all, as is evidenced in the coming project of the [sexual] Equality Act, that will punish all who do not adopt the LGBT agenda.”
“The announcement was met with backlash with Twitter users describing the ad campaign as another attempt to push gender propaganda.”

The bigger problem is “race-based discrimination and sex-based discrimination are so widespread and systemic in higher education that new discriminatory programs, events, scholarships, quotas … are being introduced all the time,” meaning few realize they are illegal or even consider getting “legal clearance” from campus authorities.
Mackey’s “conspiracy” was really quite simple. While the language the Department Formerly Associated with Justice used sounds quite weighty and conjures up images of Mackey meeting in dark rooms with other sinister figures to plot ways to sabotage voting machines or prevent people from being able to enter polling places, what they’re really talking about is a meme.
“We should correct them once and twice, but if they persist in ungodliness and unbelief, we should have nothing more to do with them (
“It is a cult. One that has massive social capital and resources. It is a cult based on a social contagion targeting the emotionally vulnerable with techniques and psychological tools that actively foster depressive mental patterns. It is a cult that makes a public suicide pact. They destroy their bodies in the pursuit of becoming the opposite gender. They change their names and pronouns and claim that if you use their given name — the one their parents gave them at birth — you are “deadnaming” them…”
(Protestia) In the wake of a demonic trans girl murdering six people at the Covenant School in Nashville, Tennessee, what some are calling a Rainbow Jihad against Christians has been discovered. Prominent LGBTQ groups and even powerful liberal politicians have been calling for violence against anyone who opposes their disgusting agenda.

“Right away, I could tell that there was a real emotional connection that Dallas [Jenkins] had to the material. And the more that I got to know Dallas and the more that he talked rather secularly, frankly, about the show, referencing shows like The Wire and West Wing, that really intrigued me in terms of making me feel like, ‘Wow. Really, truly, this is a guy who has a vision, and this is a show that is an elevated show, and a show that isn’t trying to proselytize, and is something different than what’s been out there before.” 
“There is no such thing as a transgender man, as transgender is not a category of man. Nor is transgender a category of woman. Interestingly enough, many in conservative media accurately improved their reporting by stating that Audrey Hale was “a woman who identified as transgender.” Yet this consistency ought to be maintained.”
