There is More Than One Way to Be a Boy
Is there? What is it intrinsically which makes one a boy or a girl? Is it a God who creates each individual to be male or female? Or is gender defined by how we feel or what we decide we want to be?
These are the type of questions a mother from Seattle, Washington (Cheryl Kilodavis) had to struggle to come to terms with as she noticed in her son the propensity for wearing dresses and girls' accessories. This prompted her to write a book entitled "My Princess Boy" which tells of her journey into accepting her son's preferences. This book is now being used in schools to teach on diversity and inclusion - not just tolerance - for those who are "different".
So, what is the big deal? When God said that it is an abomination for a man to dress like a woman, was He just being too intolerant (Deuteronomy 22:5)? When He says that the effeminate shall not inherit the Kingdom of God, is He just kidding (I Corinthians 6:9)?
What is the role of a parent in guiding a child? Perhaps it is from Dr. Freud that people have adopted such philosophies as a "good" parent must cater to every whim of the child or cause irreparable harm. It is interesting however that the instruction from the word of God differs dramatically from the counsel of the world.
Scripture says that we are shapen in iniquity and conceived in sin (Psalms 51:5). We are born with a nature that is contrary to the things of God. As a result, we must be taught what is good and what is not.
God says that foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child, and that he is therefore in need of correction (Proverbs 22:15). We are told that if we love our children, we will provide Godly correction (Proverbs 13:24, 19:18, 23:13-14, 29:17) just as God corrects us (Hebrews 12:5-9).
"The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame." Proverbs 29:15
Is it wrong for a parent to guide a child on what is appropriate to eat or not to eat? Are we harming our children when we don't indulge them in eating cake for breakfast, candy for lunch, and ice cream for dinner? Is it a violation of the child's rights to direct your young teenage daughter not to wear revealing clothing? Are we failing to support a child's freedom of expression when we correct them for using profanity? Are we being intolerant when we give our young children rules around not touching the stove, less they be burned?
Children are ignorant by virtue of the fact that they know not what they should do. Is this not in fact why God gives children parents (Malachi 2:15)? We are supposed to raise children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). When we leave a child to be ruled by his own defiled, carnal desires, we are doing so to our own shame...and to his detriment.
Such is how Morehouse College (a male-only institution) finds itself needing to ask their men to stop wearing dresses and high heels around the campus. All I could ask is, "Lord, has it REALLY come to this?" The answer of course is yes.
We have spoken here often of promotion for acceptance of the homosexual agenda and what that has to do with the end times. We have also showed how this is pushed in the educational systems, even starting as young as the grade of Kindergarten. None of this is occurring by happenstance.
What should be a shame and a horror is instead celebrated in the video below as the young boy is repeatedly shown wearing dresses, dancing around in skirts, and showing off his pink sparkly socks. I pray that people will wake up and stop letting satan run rampant in their lives and the lives of their precious children.
"Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward." Psalms 127:3
Hmmmm.... I appreciate your thoughts....

Ooh wow! We truly are living in the last of days. The signs of the times are so discernible that you'd have to be brain-dead to miss these clear signs. With each passing day, it's as if God speaks to me, points and says, "See, look, I'm coming." I kid you not, every day. Things are happening so consecutively... it's... it's mind-blowing. Jesus is coming! Praise God! The King is coming! I must be ready every day! Time to stop "playing" church - be the Church!
ReplyDeleteHi Crystal,
ReplyDeleteI think you raise an important point, for this deceives many.
There is no such thing as a "liberal Christian", "conservative Christian", "pro-choice Christian" "Hip Hop Christian", etc.
There is only one standard for Christianity and that is Jesus Christ...and He is not a schizophrenic. If the was we define ourselves is at odds with how Christ is, then we are simply deceived and following "another Jesus" (II Cor. 11:4).
Being conformed to the image of Jesus Christ means we become like Him. It doesn't mean that we can now champion our own ideas and thoughts and consider them of God.
What matters is not what I say, nor what you say, nor what any man says, but what God says. That is what we have outlined in this article.
This is not a "gay" issue or a political issue. It is a spiritual war which is on-going, yet many in the churchworld are blind to it.
If you are not aware of why what is being done to this handsome young boy is an abomination to God, then I sincerely suggest that you review what the Scriptures have to say (some of which were quoted above).
Thanks for your comments.
I'm thinking Mommy really wanted a girl and projected this onto this poor kid. No male role model in the house I'm guessing...
ReplyDeleteMy my my...I feel sorry for that little boy. Are these people for real? I'm sick to my stomach after watching that clip.
ReplyDeleteWow,
ReplyDeleteThis is really grievous to me. The homosexual spirit is really running rampant throughout today's society and the video that you posted reminds me that what we are facing is actually very ugly and sinister.
What appears to be 'innocent' and 'beautiful' is in actuality a very ugly spirit rearing its head. Christians need to start seeking God in prayer in fasting if we are to be ready and able to loose these demonic spirits that are binding these children!
I find it interesting that Satan will always seek to bind you at a young age and if the parent does not step in and intervene, you will have a monster on your hands. And of course, that is exactly what we are seeing in society today.
Saddening. Hope we can all pray for this little boy and all his family.
ReplyDeleteDemonic possession! I am telling you this child is sick - the father is almost certainly a sodomite and this is a spiritual entity which this witch of a mother is cultivating in her son.
ReplyDeleteI dont know what else to say but if people will not raise their children Satan will
I am disgusted by all of you. You dare call yourself Christians? If you were a true believer, you wouldn't judge. God loves us ALL equally and he doesn't judge us or define us by what choices we make. I think it's great that this boy has an appreciation for beautiful thing. It's a great thing that the parents embrace his individuality, they are the kind of people that we lack in this world,kind, accepting people. Satan is not with him, Satan is with you. I'll pray for your forgiveness. You should all be ashamed of yourself. What would Jesus do?
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
ReplyDeleteI can understand your feelings for I am utterly disgusted by people who use the name of Jesus, but have absolutely no regard for who He. Jesus Christ is not simply a brand to be used to market man's idea of what is 'good'. He is real and He is God.
We do not have to wonder what Jesus would do; it is clear in His word.
Jesus IS love, yet many might consider some of His actions/words unloving by the world's standards.
God commands His people to declare His judgments. It is only the hypocrite who is told not to judge.
If you have the desire to spend time in prayer, then I suggest you pray for God to reveal Himself to you so that you will not be deceived by false presentations of another Jesus (II Corinthians 11:4) which are powerless to save. Seek to know the actual character of God and not simply fashion an idol based on your own understanding.

ReplyDeleteYou obviously have no idea who the TRUE God is, you only know that he exists. If you had true spiritual discernment and understanding, you would see that this behavior the poor little boy is exhibiting is not from God at all. We are not hateful Christians. We simply see the truth for what it is. People who are spiritually blind like you, always react the same way. You have no knowledge of who Jesus truly is, so please do not use his name to justify your wrongful beliefs.
im going to go to my sons school tommorow and make sure they dont read that crap to my son.. although i get what shes trying to do by haveing people not bully her son and be more "accepting" of her sons diffrence from every other boy; i dont want my son to think its ok to wear girl clothing because its not! and im not willing to make homosexuality that accepting.. i have gay frinds dont get me wrong but they are not welcome around my child because i dont want that infuence on him... with all these subliminal messages in the tv about how cool it is to do this how cool it is to do that i dont need the school influencing him either... lord have mercy i have my work cut out for me
ReplyDeleteWhat a pity. How hard is it for the mom to just tell her son that he aint a girl?
ReplyDeleteLord, have mercy on that child.
Hello, sorry, here by accident, just a question. Who decides what kind of clothes are for boy or for girl? let me tell you, is ours, humans, mere society, God doesn't put his finger and said "shall this skirt be for woman to use". Do you remember when everyone in the testament, in jerusalem time uses long dress?? Jesus, disciples, followers (men and women), all the samen clothes. Now the categorization of clothes is do BY THE MEN, THE SOCIETY, no by God himself, you can't say what its wrong to use or not, the kid is expressing who he is, he is free, God accept him because he is no liying, he is not living by "mens rules", he had more love for god and himself that a lot of people of the church that I know, so.. just saying. (sorry for the bad english).
ReplyDeleteHi Anonymous,
DeleteYou claim this boy is being judged by "men's rules". Yet your comments - no matter how well-intentioned - are nothing more than the same: men's rules. One man says something is good and another says it is bad. That is just confusion.
However, there is a standard of truth to which we all must measure and that is from God alone; It is only He who determines what is righteous.
"The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God." Duet. 22:5
God has created men and women as equal, but different. Anything which seeks to pervert those images is sin.
Loving one's self is not the same as loving God. In fact, such is the opposite of loving God and reflects the nature of Satan: selfishness.
"This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves..." I Tim. 3:1-2a
True freedom is being freed from sin (as well as the wages of sin) and being reconciled to God the Father through Jesus Christ. Anything else is bondage, including the bondage of not even being free to be who God created you to be.
"If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." John 8:36
