00:00:06.248 --> 00:00:08.733
and welcome back to pastor plex podcast.
00:00:08.733 --> 00:00:16.091
We are live right now, uh, and joining me in the studio is none other cody sparks, the cody sparks band.
00:00:16.091 --> 00:00:17.940
We can't actually see him but we're here though.
00:00:17.940 --> 00:00:26.905
Yeah, we're here uh and then we also have holl from Eastside Community Church Greetings, and he is here.
00:00:26.905 --> 00:00:36.649
And then the woman who does not have a zit on her forehead no, I'm alive, it is Adrian joining us with a burn mark on her forehead.
00:00:36.649 --> 00:00:38.481
Do not judge her, that would be.
00:00:38.481 --> 00:00:39.905
We couldn't handle that.
00:00:41.247 --> 00:00:42.109
How's the head, adrian?
00:00:42.109 --> 00:00:43.512
It's just a little burned.
00:00:43.512 --> 00:00:49.420
You know, I got a little burn right where you would think that there would be a zit, but don't worry, there's only a few wrinkles.
00:00:49.881 --> 00:00:53.350
Is it like worse to have a zit than to have like a burn?
00:00:54.735 --> 00:00:56.119
Yeah, oh yeah, a zit's worse than a burn.
00:00:56.159 --> 00:00:57.545
Does that say like you don't take care of yourself?
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:07.183
A burn's just like an accident to anyone.
00:01:07.183 --> 00:01:07.444
That's right.
00:01:07.444 --> 00:01:08.509
Zit probably means that you have personal problems.
00:01:08.528 --> 00:01:09.533
Still brave of you to come here today, though.
00:01:09.552 --> 00:01:10.034
Yeah, you really, you know.
00:01:10.055 --> 00:01:13.024
Holland did recommend you wear a hat and you said no, I'm just going full burn.
00:01:13.024 --> 00:01:32.849
I'm just going to be proud, okay, well, you guys listen, we were sitting here talking about what we were actually going to talk about and the, the audience, the live studio audience all called out we want to hear about the executive order that donald trump just signed about the two gender status.
00:01:32.849 --> 00:01:39.569
Um holland, can you give us a quick review of what he just signed and what that means?
00:01:39.890 --> 00:01:43.186
so donald trump is now the president of the united states?
00:01:43.186 --> 00:01:44.069
He is now the president.
00:01:44.069 --> 00:01:46.861
Yes, and he started off signing a bunch of executive orders, did he do?
00:01:46.902 --> 00:01:48.287
this at the Capital One building.
00:01:48.287 --> 00:01:50.605
Is that where he started signing stuff, or was that today?
00:01:51.790 --> 00:01:52.251
Yesterday.
00:01:52.560 --> 00:01:53.765
At the Capital One arena.
00:01:53.765 --> 00:01:54.728
He was just signing up a storm.
00:01:54.861 --> 00:01:56.266
No, I don't think he was at the arena.
00:01:57.319 --> 00:01:59.828
Because I saw him have a desk there so I assumed it would be.
00:02:01.144 --> 00:02:03.170
I consumed a lot of information yesterday.
00:02:03.230 --> 00:02:04.251
Did I consumed a lot of information yesterday.
00:02:04.251 --> 00:02:04.712
Did you consume about?
00:02:04.712 --> 00:02:06.393
Did he go back to the Oval Office or something?
00:02:06.412 --> 00:02:09.956
I saw him in the Oval Office with a bunch of executive orders oh nice.
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:15.340
No, I believe he did it also, like you said, live in front of however many thousands of people.
00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:18.443
He did do it live on his way out of the inauguration.
00:02:18.502 --> 00:02:23.567
Yeah, because it seemed like a huge waste of a Donald Trump moment, because he knows how to capture like.
00:02:23.567 --> 00:02:26.729
Here's the one executive order you've been waiting for me to sign.
00:02:26.750 --> 00:02:29.752
So he did do that and I just I don't know about it being in front of the arena.
00:02:30.473 --> 00:02:32.574
Live executive order signings is pretty cool.
00:02:32.615 --> 00:02:36.981
Yeah, it is very awesome, Like you can go, I was there, okay, so what was the executive order?
00:02:37.081 --> 00:02:37.682
on gender.
00:02:37.682 --> 00:02:38.403
So here's one of them.
00:02:38.403 --> 00:02:40.225
Yeah, starts off.
00:02:40.225 --> 00:02:46.394
I'm just going to read some of it and it says uh, section one purpose.
00:02:47.094 --> 00:03:09.087
Across the country, ideologues who deny the biological reality of sex have increasingly used legal and other socially coercive means to permit men to self-identify as women and gain access to intimate single sex, single sex spaces and activities designed for women, from women's domestic abuse shelters to women's workplace showers.
00:03:09.087 --> 00:03:09.789
This is wrong.
00:03:09.789 --> 00:03:17.788
Efforts to eradicate the biological reality of sex fundamentally attack women by depriving them of their dignity, safety and well-being.
00:03:17.788 --> 00:03:35.131
The erasure of sex in language and policy has a corrosive impact not just on women but on the validity of the entire American system.
00:03:35.131 --> 00:03:38.873
Okay, and then he goes on talking for a little while and then he starts.
00:03:39.514 --> 00:03:41.717
It gets into section two, policy and definitions.
00:03:41.717 --> 00:03:42.965
Okay, here's what I think is really interesting.
00:03:42.965 --> 00:03:43.407
Okay, here we go.
00:03:43.407 --> 00:03:49.813
He's going to define, you know, woman and man and male and female and sex and gender and stuff.
00:03:49.813 --> 00:03:54.911
But in the definition, you know, everyone knew this part was coming too.
00:03:54.911 --> 00:04:02.433
He said he was going to do this, but in the definition he actually defines personhood as beginning at conception.
00:04:02.433 --> 00:04:12.350
Oh, wow, which is so like the in terms of like, uh, not just impacting transgender stuff, but also the abortion issue.
00:04:12.350 --> 00:04:17.608
Sure, because, um, what some people would say is like, okay, you can say life begins at conception.
00:04:17.608 --> 00:04:30.050
Sure, that's a human life, but it doesn't have personhood until and that's where you, you know a person is someone who has constitutional rights and hasn't trump like sort of backed off the abortion thing?
00:04:30.310 --> 00:04:34.908
yes, and now this seems like a reversal and it's like full charge, a thousand percent.
00:04:34.908 --> 00:04:36.211
Or do you think he knew what he was doing?
00:04:36.680 --> 00:04:37.442
I have no idea.
00:04:37.442 --> 00:04:40.627
Yeah, but it's uh, it's not a explicit, you know.
00:04:40.627 --> 00:04:47.086
So, like he backed off in the— when you could get an abortion, what's it called?
00:04:47.086 --> 00:04:52.050
Yes, he basically said—I'm trying to think of the name for it.
00:04:52.050 --> 00:04:53.704
It's online, it's where they give—.
00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:55.646
Is it late-term abortions or early-term?
00:04:55.646 --> 00:04:56.440
No, no, no.
00:04:56.461 --> 00:05:01.512
I'm talking about where they list out their policies, their party platform, platform, party platform.
00:05:01.512 --> 00:05:12.660
So in the Republican Party platform, the one that he made last year, it was way less detailed, way more brief and it basically just said like we're against late term abortions, right.
00:05:12.660 --> 00:05:18.153
So he backed off big time and no one really knew where he was going to go.
00:05:18.153 --> 00:05:21.168
And this isn't like an explicit, like recanting of that.
00:05:21.168 --> 00:05:27.733
It's actually just something embedded implicitly in an anti-transgender deal.
00:05:27.733 --> 00:05:45.810
So what he said, what it says here, is like um, female means a person belonging at conception to the sex that produces the large reproductive cell and male means a person belonging at conception to the sex that produces the small reproductive cell.
00:05:45.810 --> 00:05:56.137
So defining male and female based on sex from conception and calling that a person, even at conception, so I think that's huge.
00:05:56.137 --> 00:05:57.240
That is huge, your thoughts.
00:05:58.122 --> 00:06:12.435
Yeah, the reason why I think that's huge is because now you could argue the reason why—now, granted, this is an executive order and so I don't necessarily think it holds the weight of law, but, um, it does go the right direction.
00:06:12.435 --> 00:06:22.005
I think the only part that's problematic with executive orders is everybody knows that can be reversed in four years or whenever someone is no longer in office.
00:06:22.005 --> 00:06:27.502
And the other problem with it it's not a law, but it is going the right direction.
00:06:27.502 --> 00:06:39.865
It is giving a definition that the that the government is going to go by, because all the other insanity definitions that that Biden gave over the past four years on gender was like you know, there is no.
00:06:39.884 --> 00:06:42.550
You can mark X for neutral or whatever you want.
00:06:42.550 --> 00:06:46.069
Not X is like X, y or whatever, but it's it's.
00:06:46.069 --> 00:06:52.002
You can mark whatever you wanted for a gender, and that was a legally accepted document, whereas now you cannot.
00:06:52.002 --> 00:06:53.867
It's either male or female.
00:06:53.867 --> 00:07:15.774
And I think that's a positive thing for truth, not just for Christianity, although I'm obviously for Christianity, I'm for all that but I just think for society as a whole to have to believe in science again, which I think is sort of wild to say, but like, kind of like, say it's not a feeling, that is your sex, it's an actual reality.
00:07:16.098 --> 00:07:25.502
Yeah, when he stood up and said like there will only be two genders now and everyone cheered you're like whoa, how crazy did things get that.
00:07:25.502 --> 00:07:27.810
People are cheering for that statement, right.
00:07:27.810 --> 00:07:30.757
Which is like one of the most basic you know.
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:35.908
Yeah, A hundred years ago, if someone said there is only male and female, everyone been like.
00:07:35.908 --> 00:07:42.882
Right, yeah, like okay, what else but for that to be like the roar of the crowd moment?
00:07:42.882 --> 00:07:54.853
What else but for that to be like the roar of the crowd moment, adrian, as for you as a woman, let's hear from your perspective of like, how that makes you feel as a lady over there who doesn't have to worry about men in your bathrooms.
00:07:54.853 --> 00:07:56.516
Have you had to worry about men in your bathrooms?
00:08:04.673 --> 00:08:09.863
You know I have not, which is nice, but I've been really grateful not to have a daughter during all this.
00:08:09.863 --> 00:08:14.853
This seems like a good direction, that we're going right, and here's the other thing I feel I will.
00:08:14.853 --> 00:08:22.209
Let me just talk about what has been on my mind because you know how the algorithm of facebook works yeah, facebook works.
00:08:22.230 --> 00:08:28.959
Yeah, so, like all of my, liberal ACU graduate friends were not ever like.
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:39.162
They were never in my newsfeed until yesterday and then now my whole newsfeed is them and they are sending condolences.
00:08:39.162 --> 00:08:43.153
I was trying to look up one, but they're they're, they're.
00:08:43.153 --> 00:08:50.144
They're sending condolences to everyone who feels hopeless now, who feels that hate has won, and that's that's.
00:08:50.144 --> 00:08:55.980
That's the verbiage is like we're so sorry that hate has won, intolerance has won, we're so sorry for this world.
00:08:55.980 --> 00:09:06.315
And they're apologizing on behalf of somebody for two to a demographic of unspecified that they don't actually know them.
00:09:06.754 --> 00:09:21.956
Right, or maybe they do know some people who are feeling hurt, and then and then the theology behind their, their consolation, is to let love fill, you know, let belief is enough.
00:09:21.956 --> 00:09:25.029
Believes that the loves of seeds of God will multiply.
00:09:25.029 --> 00:09:26.381
Let belief is enough.
00:09:26.381 --> 00:09:27.586
Believes that the loves of seeds of God will multiply.
00:09:27.586 --> 00:09:34.509
And it's like they're trying to create some hope that maybe God might be sufficient for the hatred that seems seemingly permeating and it's everywhere.
00:09:34.509 --> 00:09:44.408
And then, on top of that, of course, they're doing what they've always done, which is take certain little bitty things out of context and blow them up, and and that's irritating and, I guess, to be expected.
00:09:44.408 --> 00:09:55.443
But I think what I have been most, what is so significant to me is when you tell the world there are two genders male, female for that to be?
00:09:55.464 --> 00:09:56.606
should we say the word gender?
00:09:56.606 --> 00:10:01.005
I mean, is that giving a nod to the weirdo that made up the term gender, two sexes?
00:10:01.005 --> 00:10:02.448
But maybe, maybe we were.
00:10:02.448 --> 00:10:06.046
Just we're so beyond that now because that that word was made up in the 50sies.
00:10:06.046 --> 00:10:14.472
Okay, sex, sorry, and I don't mean to make that a big deal, but, like, is that a nod to what's his name that invented the term and his crazy sex tests?
00:10:15.100 --> 00:10:19.245
Because you know about that, well, the only reason we watched what is a woman, right?
00:10:19.245 --> 00:10:23.072
Yeah, and that's where I learned from that, that it was the.
00:10:23.072 --> 00:10:33.549
The term gender was coined in the fifties and and so we just sort of all adopted it, which then brought this thing to, which was sort of helpful in some ways, like what gender are you?
00:10:33.549 --> 00:10:45.134
You know cause I, whenever I saw sex back when I was growing up in the eighties sex I would write yes, and I think I was so funny and then, but then now it became it's very revealing.
00:10:45.154 --> 00:10:47.081
Yeah, you know, like you know you're eight years old.
00:10:47.081 --> 00:10:48.427
You think you're the funniest person ever.
00:10:48.427 --> 00:10:49.793
Like, you know what?
00:10:49.793 --> 00:10:51.460
Yeah, sex, yes, please.
00:10:52.341 --> 00:11:06.232
So like um, so but so that's the usefulness of gender is to prevent that eight-year-olds from that particular situation okay I see that's probably the only place I can see it.
00:11:06.706 --> 00:11:07.419
It really is helpful.
00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:14.445
But I don't want to give another nod to the, to the guy that came up with the gender ideology and and start calling it that.
00:11:14.445 --> 00:11:15.368
But I'm not.
00:11:15.368 --> 00:11:16.926
I don't want to be over the top either.
00:11:16.926 --> 00:11:18.244
I'm just wondering if that's a thing.
00:11:18.244 --> 00:11:19.346
Yeah, good question.
00:11:20.110 --> 00:11:22.544
Listen, I don't know.
00:11:22.725 --> 00:11:23.768
So we can just call it.
00:11:23.768 --> 00:11:25.150
We can call it sex.
00:11:25.150 --> 00:11:25.672
Call it sex.
00:11:25.672 --> 00:11:53.514
No-transcript is so interesting to me because of the same okay, on the other side of the same coin you have those same people parenting right, this gentle parenting that says my child should have no boundaries and like let's let the children decide what they're like.
00:11:53.514 --> 00:12:04.267
When you let the child be the decision maker and the leader of themselves, you have a very unhappy child and you can go anywhere in the general public, would you say this is where the suicide stuff comes from.
00:12:04.347 --> 00:12:07.908
Absolutely, because kids are like kids are not.
00:12:07.908 --> 00:12:10.908
They don't know, they only know what they've been taught, what they've been told.
00:12:10.908 --> 00:12:18.620
And so being told that your gender is fluid, being told that you're in the car, you're in the driver's seat Anyone that's raised kids knows this like I.
00:12:18.620 --> 00:12:28.278
Mean, we've had our battles with food at our house, right, people don't want to eat the food that we're giving them, like every kid probably, but so what's the most natural?
00:12:28.298 --> 00:12:28.820
holland's house.
00:12:28.820 --> 00:12:29.442
They eat everything.
00:12:29.462 --> 00:12:37.811
They're told right they do the holland's house is superior my kids are always obedient with happy hearts and they never cause any trouble that's why.
00:12:37.890 --> 00:12:39.261
That's why we had to have you part-time.
00:12:39.261 --> 00:12:43.688
Can't do full-time, yet it feels a little too convicting.
00:12:43.688 --> 00:12:55.682
Um, so part of like it's natural as a parent to be like we just need them to eat food, like they need protein, they need food.
00:12:55.682 --> 00:12:57.066
This will help all of their problems.
00:12:57.066 --> 00:12:59.715
They'll stop crying, they'll feel better, they'll probably sleep better.
00:12:59.715 --> 00:13:06.340
So you get to a point where it feels like the most, the most reasonable, loving thing you can do is to be like what would you like?
00:13:06.340 --> 00:13:08.101
Here are your choices, here are the options.
00:13:08.101 --> 00:13:09.144
What, what would what?
00:13:09.144 --> 00:13:11.005
If you could have any food today, what would it be?
00:13:11.005 --> 00:13:11.907
Let's work with you.
00:13:11.907 --> 00:13:14.169
Let's put you in the lead, let's put you as the leader.
00:13:14.250 --> 00:13:22.429
Let's let's know, and then and then we start negotiating, which we're still doing this at our house and I sometimes make this mistake of going, hey, what do you want to eat?
00:13:22.429 --> 00:13:26.548
And I'm like, oh crap, that was the dumbest thing I could have ever said.
00:13:26.548 --> 00:13:29.990
I should have said you're eating pancakes, or you're eating sausage, or here's an egg.
00:13:31.142 --> 00:13:38.217
And I fall into that because I treat only ask a, a question if every answer is something you actually want to do.
00:13:38.217 --> 00:13:39.080
Right, right, right, there you go.
00:13:39.159 --> 00:13:39.943
But it doesn't.
00:13:39.943 --> 00:13:46.551
The child isn't happy making the choice for themselves, because the minute that they say, oh, I want pancakes, you give them pancakes.
00:13:46.551 --> 00:13:51.633
Well, they don't want those pancakes or they don't want them cut that way, or they don't want that shape, or they don't want that temperature.
00:13:51.633 --> 00:14:04.206
I mean, it's not because the shape, the temperature, the cutting, it's not because those things are a problem.
00:14:04.206 --> 00:14:09.000
It's because the child is torn between feeling this authority, that that is, that is more than they can handle, and feeling and like they're kind of at war internally over the the, the power that they've been given.
00:14:09.322 --> 00:14:13.152
And any child that's given too much power and too much authority isn't is unhappy.
00:14:13.152 --> 00:14:14.201
They're unhappy children.
00:14:14.201 --> 00:14:24.134
And so the fact that we are saying as a nation, here's some boundaries what we know from parenting is boundaries create contentment, they create.
00:14:24.134 --> 00:14:40.241
A child with two Christmas presents, I guarantee you, is more content than the child with 20 on Christmas morning, because there's probably some parenting that goes behind that, that teaches some foundational truths and some contentment.
00:14:40.241 --> 00:14:45.823
Because it's not the variety, it's not the options, it's not the power that creates the contentment, and I think so.
00:14:45.865 --> 00:15:08.049
I think what's so, what's so mind blowing to me is that there's Christians out there that feel as though giving the humanity an infinite amount of choices is actually the more loving approach, and it's also the approach that will lead to more satisfied, like healthy, happy people, like, like, how ignorant are we?
00:15:08.049 --> 00:15:11.187
How have we gotten to this point where that feels true?
00:15:11.187 --> 00:15:12.912
Yeah, yeah.
00:15:12.912 --> 00:15:13.662
It doesn't.
00:15:13.662 --> 00:15:17.162
It doesn't even make sense Like go to Disney world, you don't see.
00:15:17.162 --> 00:15:19.850
You don't see more pissed off kids than you do at Disney World.
00:15:20.019 --> 00:15:22.745
There are no angrier kids, it's the happiest place on earth, adrienne.
00:15:24.583 --> 00:15:27.171
It was like we wanted to make a film the whole time we were there.
00:15:27.171 --> 00:15:35.793
It was just tantrum after tantrum, after tantrum and it's like you could go to like Georgetown Blue Hole.
00:15:35.793 --> 00:15:39.868
Okay, there's very few tantrums, it's just like it's free.
00:15:39.868 --> 00:15:41.272
There's rocks, there's dirt.
00:15:41.701 --> 00:15:44.549
And we make a lot of great games of throwing rocks and skipping rocks.
00:15:44.899 --> 00:15:47.107
It's like children that are given too much.
00:15:47.107 --> 00:15:49.244
There's just such and not to say Disney World's bad.
00:15:49.244 --> 00:15:49.664
Who cares?
00:15:49.664 --> 00:16:01.941
I mean I'll go, I don't care to go but people day long.
00:16:01.941 --> 00:16:02.383
It's just it there's.
00:16:02.403 --> 00:16:04.929
There's a very normal phenomenon that happens when children are given too much power, unless they're parented by the gregs.
00:16:04.929 --> 00:16:06.053
Yeah, okay, all right, I I gotta tell you guys something.
00:16:06.053 --> 00:16:07.418
I don't actually have perfect children.
00:16:07.437 --> 00:16:20.044
No, no, he does they came to our house and they did nothing wrong and lizzie was so sweet and was like act like an adult the whole time she does want to come on the podcast soon, though, oh I would love to have Lizzie Tell her welcome anytime.
00:16:21.441 --> 00:16:25.455
Chris might have told Austin that that's the kind of girl you want to marry someday.
00:16:25.495 --> 00:16:26.279
Yeah, there you go.
00:16:26.279 --> 00:16:28.506
I was like Lizzie, is quality right there?
00:16:28.707 --> 00:16:29.149
She's true.
00:16:29.149 --> 00:16:30.784
You might need to start creating some boundaries.
00:16:31.687 --> 00:16:32.330
Boundaries are good.
00:16:32.330 --> 00:16:33.885
I'm pro boundaries, Adrienne.
00:16:33.885 --> 00:16:39.951
All right back to what we were talking about.
00:16:39.951 --> 00:16:40.654
No, I want to hear what Helen was talking about.
00:16:40.654 --> 00:16:41.674
Yeah, what About what?
00:16:41.674 --> 00:16:42.115
Your kids?
00:16:42.115 --> 00:16:43.426
Oh, about my kids.
00:16:43.426 --> 00:16:49.162
I think I was just saying that I don't have perfect kids because you guys keep making this joke and the podcast listeners need to understand.
00:16:49.201 --> 00:16:51.947
They know you, I mean, they recognize you on sight.
00:16:51.947 --> 00:16:54.759
What?
00:16:54.860 --> 00:17:00.633
do you think about kids that have too much options, too much authority, too much excessive?
00:17:01.299 --> 00:17:04.548
Yeah, I think boundaries are good, boundaries are healthy with the eating stuff.
00:17:04.548 --> 00:17:08.148
You know, when my kids say I don't like that, I say, well, that's.
00:17:08.148 --> 00:17:09.451
You know we're going to work on that.
00:17:09.451 --> 00:17:11.041
You know you should be able to.
00:17:11.041 --> 00:17:15.647
I talk about how Jesus sent his disciples out and he told them to go two by two to the different houses.
00:17:15.647 --> 00:17:16.167
What did he say?
00:17:16.989 --> 00:17:20.032
Eat, whatever is set before you.
00:17:20.032 --> 00:17:21.295
Boom oh.
00:17:21.295 --> 00:17:22.355
Do you use that Bible verse with that?
00:17:22.355 --> 00:17:22.635
Oh yeah.
00:17:22.880 --> 00:17:23.944
Eat whatever's set before you.
00:17:23.944 --> 00:17:28.518
You know what Sometimes following Jesus means eating a meal that you don't really like.
00:17:28.518 --> 00:17:35.348
But you're going to be respectful to your host, and so we're going to train you as children, man, and we want to teach you to have good food.
00:17:35.348 --> 00:17:37.192
So, like I'm a hundred percent.
00:17:37.292 --> 00:17:46.366
That is wild, that's I mean unless you're in Mexico and there's ants and such what was that, unless you're in Mexico, you ate ants.
00:17:46.386 --> 00:17:49.053
Yeah, I don't do mission strips anymore, I'm retired.
00:17:49.053 --> 00:17:54.342
Yeah, exactly, so I think.
00:17:54.342 --> 00:17:57.305
Uh, you know that idea, that philosophy.
00:17:57.305 --> 00:18:09.537
I see the connection you're making, adrian, between, like, the gentle parenting approach and the, you know, total liberal kind of mindset approach toward gender and stuff like that.
00:18:09.537 --> 00:18:11.769
It's just like all rules are oppressive.
00:18:11.980 --> 00:18:13.063
That's the common denominator.
00:18:13.063 --> 00:18:14.365
Rules are oppressive.
00:18:14.546 --> 00:18:15.067
Rules are bad.
00:18:15.407 --> 00:18:16.048
Rules are bad.
00:18:16.048 --> 00:18:17.633
They hurt you, they hold you back.
00:18:17.633 --> 00:18:19.382
Rules are oppressive.
00:18:19.382 --> 00:18:19.883
Rules are bad.
00:18:19.883 --> 00:18:20.364
Rules are bad.
00:18:20.364 --> 00:18:24.896
They hurt you, they hold you back, whereas you know the the bible is really clear that, like rules, um god's rules lead to blessing.
00:18:25.057 --> 00:18:37.281
Whatever he commands, he blesses his law leads to life, right, obviously, you cannot find justification and salvation from his law, but, as christians, god's law points us in the direction of life and blessing and abundance and goodness.
00:18:37.281 --> 00:18:42.701
And so, um to say there are only two genders, only two sexes, whatever, male and female?
00:18:42.701 --> 00:18:47.250
Um, some people, there's a group of people that hear that and sound.
