Transgenderism is a mental illness. Instead of accommodating these people, they should be sent for help. Those who promote and advocate this insanity are just plain evil.
Such an excellent article full of truthful facts, information and a heartfelt prayer. Thank you, Dr. Tenpenny, for your steadfast efforts! You make a huge difference in this world.
The decline in Christian affiliation is, to me, the most alarming part of this article. I am a thoroughly committed Torah Jew, will not change that, but even I can see the correlation between the decline of Western society and the decline of Christian belief. I am curious to know what can be done, if anything, to reverse this trend.
At the college where I teach, I am friends with the professor who sponsors the Christian prayer group. The student affairs office appears to be burying the existence and activities of this group. I try to push back whenever I have a chance, even though I am not a member of this group. The student affairs office frequently publicizes events of interest to the miniscule Muslim community.
The college president, a lapsed Catholic, cancelled the Good Friday vacation day so she could replace it with Juneteenth. My Christian conservative friends on the faculty say they are not bothered by this, since they can use their floating holiday to take off. I try to explain to them that they are missing the point: the degradation of the majority religion.
I am a member of a minority group, and even I understand that every society needs a dominant culture to provide cohesion. I worry about America's future. If we go the way of Europe, America will be unrecognizable in one generation.
Thank you for your efforts to bring awareness in your arena of life. I truly believe there are a LOT of people doing their part and sounding the truth alarm but so much is being censored causing so many to feel the battle has been lost. Please keep doing your part and, hopefully, we will make a difference. Nevertheless, "they" don't get to say when this world ends, only our awesome YHVH, blessed be His name, who is the beginning and the end, the Creator of the universe and has all power.
I view the unpardonable sin as the active undermining of truth and love and goodness. In a way, Jesus represents truth, God is love, and the Holy Spirit is goodness, itself. To actively undermine what is good in the world, some in Jesus' time attempted to ascribe his good works to Satan. It wasn't to just talk bad about, or blaspheme, Jesus (which is forgivable) -- but to talk bad about the good that Jesus did.
Even non-Christians like Aristotle and Ayn Rand got this point. Aristotle said that "tyranny is a friend of the base" (base = lowly) and that tyrants actively cultivate small-souledness (where you divert your gaze from what is good in the world) in their subjects. Ayn Rand called it the hatred of the good, where you cultivate personal disdain for virtue in the world.
The "cause" of the movement to reach out to those declared by government officials to be "disenfranchised" is to actually shorten the horizons of those people, and make them think that their top goal in this life is to get socially accepted by others. If social praise or acceptance is all you ever focus on, then you have a small soul.
Thank You Dr. Tenpenny, for "all" of your God-Given-Talents!!! I've been Blessed to stumbled upon your spoken "Truth"....not only are you saving lives, but souls as well. 💜😇✝️
Great article. I encourage all followers of Yahweh's Redeemer and King Yehoshua (the salvation of Jah), to work toward identifying less with Christianity which was the state religion set up by Constantine in the latter part of the 4th century and more with "the way" which was how the 1st century followers of Jesus identified themselves. Remember the theme of the Bible is this: The vindication of God's name by means of the kingdom arrangement. If this sounds foreign to you please read the model prayer at Matthew chapter 6 and note the order of importance Jesus listed here. He came to bear witness to God's kingdom and as his followers we need to emulate that with all of our strength. It should be no surprise in this time of the uncovering (apocalypse) that we see even our "righteous" United States acting just as the beasts that God's word uses to describe all man-made satanic governments. King Jesus will do away with all these governments as summarized here in 1 Corinthians 15:20 and onward:
However, now Christ has been raised up from the dead,+ the firstfruits+ of those who have fallen asleep [in death].+ 21 For since death+ is through a man, resurrection+ of the dead is also through a man. 22 For just as in Adam all are dying,+ so also in the Christ all will be made alive.+ 23 But each one in his own rank: Christ the firstfruits,+ afterward those who belong to the Christ during his presence.*+ 24 Next, the end,* when he hands over the kingdom to his God and Father, when he has brought to nothing all government and all authority and power.+ 25 For he must rule as king until [God]* has put all enemies under his feet.+ 26 As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing.*+ 27 For [God] “subjected all things under his feet.”+ But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’+ it is evident that it is with the exception of the one who subjected all things to him.+ 28 But when all things will have been subjected to him,+ then the Son himself will also subject himself* to the One+ who subjected all things to him, that God may be all things to everyone.*+
I first came to know about you on FrankSpeach a few years ago. Thank you for standing and speaking up when most would not and sharing your views from a Christian perspective. Warning people of the dangers of the world and the ones to come in the next if they don’t know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is what you have done and what we as Christians should be doing as well.
As Brannon says at the end of his Worldview Report each night “May God save America” because He is the only one who saves.
Thank you for your faithful witness! Regarding the Last Days, based on “Giants” and “Birthright”, God’s patience with transhumanism will likely be as short as it was with the rebellious gods and their nephilim offspring in the days of Noah. Maranatha!
Here we ago... Yeshua or Yoshua is his real name. Jesus is a mistranslation from HEBREW to Greek. the Greeks has Zeus as their Chief God... so 'Je-zeus' or 'Jesus' was then mistranslation. I guess Yeshua or Yoshua sounded too Jewish' ? And this error hasn't been fixed for many centuries. So is it possible that ten's of millions of Christians do not have the name of their savior correct ? YES. And surely, if this is so, it sure seems like the work of Satan if Satan is real ? And how then hell is anyone supposed to believe in a 'book', put together by MEN... that can't even get the name of the 'Savior' correct ? Next... what really disturbs me about Christianity is that you can do the most vile and terrible things... but if you sincerely repent, you are saved by Yeshua's blood sacrifice on the cross. Does that seem fair, or right to you ? And furthermore, this idea about 'Sin' and 'Hell'. I mean, if God created everything and everyone, and our 'programming' was flawed so that we 'sinned'... why didn't the 'Creator' AKA 'God' make adjustments ? Oh, that's right... 'free will'. And lastly... why the hell is 'the Cross', a symbol of torture, misery snd pain, the symbol chosen to represent Christianity ? (I've asked this question before... and gotten the answer: because Jesus dies for our sins on the cross'. A better, more positive and inspiring symbol couldn't have been chosen, instead of one that's about misery and death ???)
I understand your dismay because I've been through something very similar to it. Reading your writing, I thought of how close my opinion was to what you wrote.
A common saying is that "the devil is in the details" but another spin on that is that "God is in the timeless truths" (those things which do not live or die based on circumstantial and spurious details).
You've found some circumstantial details that don't add up for you, such as whether a name works out to be a proper one, under a given interpretation, when using a given dialect, of a given language which was prominent, at a given time in human history.
But some things have deeper meaning than what shows up on the "surface" (literal interpretations aren't always all there is). A cross is a metaphor for a burden, for instance, but human life isn't about avoiding all burden (human life is not a Utopia), it's instead about adopting the right approach to the right burdens.
Though I understand your hostility (I was like you), remain curious.
Thanks for your reply. My comments originate from the idea that seemingly small details being incorrect can lead to large scale malfeasance, Where does it stop ? Facts are facts. There never was a 'Jesus'. He was Yeshua or Yoshua. So where do all prayers to the fictitious entity called 'Jesus' go ? Is this Satan at work or what ?Somewhere around 1100 AD the Pope at that time decided that Priests could no longer marry. So there was forced celibacy. But that didn't work out so well as Priests simply turned to having sex with young children. What a disaster. Of course, when they could no longer marry, all their worldly wealth went to the church, not family, upon the death. Nice eh ? And the 'Cross' is not a symbol of: Death, Pain, Suffering and Torture ? I can't relate to it being a convenient metaphor...for burden. Yeshua didn't suffer a 'burden', a metaphor, on the cross. He was tortured and killed on the cross. And so that's the symbol of Christianity ? Whatever happened too that fish symbol ? It seems like religious brainwashing to me. From cradle to grave too. Very Sad. Be well friend...
We'll probably have to agree to disagree, Richie. Your historic knowledge is vast, but it is knowledge of circumstantial details. Other terms for circumstantial can be "spurious" or "accidental" (in the philosophic sense, contrasted against "essential").
But a list of nonessential and historic occurrences of error, mistakes, or harm does not speak to the point I made. Even in the third epistle of John, you already have mention of a "Christian" (Diotrephes) misusing religion for personal gain. It's old news that people will warp things for personal benefit. It's not new, but expected.
But all of those historic details do not even touch on the timeless truths in the Bible.
You have to read the whole story - especially Genesis - to know the answers. To me, there's really no debate, and nothing to dabate, even through other readers may want to answer this with you.
I've been told by many of my Christian pastor friends, "If you don't get Genesis right - especially Gen 3:15 and Gen 6 - you miss the entire meeting of the Bible, and what God did for us through Jesus."
Thanks Dr. Tenpenny... but neither Genesis 3:15 nor Genesis:6 seem to address my issues. And taking it further: All Religions believe that: nothing is greater than God. And if that's so... then God must be Everything, as Everything is the only thing that has nothing greater than itself. This simple truth is what liberated me from all religions. Because if it's true, then God, the great creator of all, is far more than an anthropomorphic supreme humanoid being. And of course if God is Everything, and we are all a part of everything that is... are we all, therefore, a part of the total God expression ? I think to many this will be blasphemous. But please give it some thought ? Again, if 'nothing is greater than God' does that mean that God is Everything ? Be well...
Very well spoken Dr T! Appreciate you and your righteous stand on the Word- The Living Word Jesus Christ!! May God have mercy on America 🥺🙏🙌

Love it Dr. Tenpenny. You indeed are a Warrior in this spiritual battle being waged
thank you Byron. Sometimes the battlefield is more difficult than others.
So strange to see the White House transgender day statement end with; dated this day ' In the year of our Lord" 2024

The biggest slam on Easter is the pagan symbology that predominates over its true meaning.

It took me a while to understand and when I did it all came together from the beginning to the cross. Stick with it you will get it to
