3. The reality is God said it is an Abomination (a thing that causes disgust or hatred)…Biblically It is mainly used to denote idolatry; and in many other cases it refers to inherently evil things such as illicit sex, lying, murder, deceit, etc. Therefore it is a combination of many evils and Pride. " You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of men, but God knows your hearts. What is highly valued among men is detestable in God's sight,” (Lk16: 15).May 15, 2016
   Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind (Subconscious), so that they do what ought not to be done. Rom. 1:28. Therefore They have given their mind (Subconscious) over to Satan which controls their Behavior and reason is not effective because they believe it Subconsciously. It is Demonic and their mind has Blocked them from the Truth. Consequently, our persistence and Prayer is their only Hope for God Said MY WORD will not return Void.
   Therefore I AM CALLING All BELIEVERS To Pray Every Day, Make a Declaration of Enlightenment to help those who struggle with this Demonic Curse. We Must have a Crusade to Empower God's People And Declare God's Favor for Only His Spirit can defeat the Enemy. We Must Take to the Streets in MassesThank You Lord

4. Jesus does tell those who are sinning to repent. Which he would have said to a centurion engaging in homosexual behavior who wanted this "gay lover" healed. But this was not the case; by structure of Roman military protocol; this was not the case.

   In the context of the Roman military; a "servant" was usually someone who was taken captive during battle. If they proved themselves to be appropriate candidates to join the army; they could eventually do so; given permission from their master.

   The Roman army was hard to get into. One went through about a 6 month "basic training" and if one made it through that entire training; they were assigned a legion. Joining the Roman army was basically a life time commitment and your legion became your family. Soldiers didn't change legions unless their legion was so decimated in a battle that the remaining soldiers would be incorporated into other legions. They would split decorated legions in two and add those from decimated legions into the split legions to give an honorable "restart" to those who survived the battle. And the decimated legion would be "retired" and "buried".

   So, once one was in the army, you were then a free man; (or actually even women) – the Roman army did have female axillary forces that were trained by the army to defend the forts / encampments while the regular legion was on the march while on campaign. These women (and even children) were usually family members of soldiers. And after serving 20 years; one would be awarded citizenship. Which to be a Roman citizen was a BIG deal!

   So yes, the Roman army had a lot of captives that were status(ed) as "servants".

   While inside the confines of the "empire proper"; soldier's families lived "off base". And for someone high ranking (like a centurion) their families did not live in the Antonia fortress. Although there were "civilian axillary" that did live in the Antonia fortress. The Antonia Fortress housed an entire legion (5000 soldiers) plus 3 to 5 thousand auxiliary support personnel. A centurion commanded 100 soldiers.

   Now because the legion became one's family; more senior ranking enlisted men would adopt "soldier sons". And if they had surviving biological sons; those family units of men would commonly live together on smaller "military installations" like prison houses. The Philippian jailor would have been a "retired from combat" military person. Pontius Pilate would have also had been in the military. Pilate though was most likely "commissioned". Most mere enlisted soldiers didn't attain to a position as high as his. But undoubtedly; Pilate had served in the army. The Roman army served as a military force; a police force and the empire's "public works department".

   Although homosexual behavior was common in the Roman empire; it was not "publicly acknowledged" in the Roman army. Bath houses in Rome catered to various ranks of populations and the army had it's own network of them. And bathhouses were where these types of activities took place as it pertained to military people engaging with other military people. Now as far as army "unspoken rules" behavior like this was considered a shame to engage in with someone who was not equally ranked with you. Nor was it something people in the same chain of command would engage in. That was also taboo.

   It was more common for soldiers to have "wives (and kids) in every port". Some of this obviously crossed over into "civilian brothel territory". Though soldiers could (and often did) have multiple wives; the army only recognized one "official wife" as the beneficiary of his pension. The "official wife" was often judiciously chosen as one who would not bring shame upon the name of the soldier; i.e as in not having a reputation as a prostitute. Although sons from multiple wives were (an often did) allowed to join the army and serve with their fathers. It also was not uncommon for daughters of soldiers to marry other soldiers.

   So… that was life in the Roman army.

5. I disagree with STR on the name issue. Yes, people change or use whatever names/nicknames all the time. But in this situation, we are talking about names that are being changed for the express purpose of furthering a lie. I will not, cannot go along with that. Obviously, if all we know is the name they give us, fine. But if you know the original name that went with the correct sex and now you're being bullied into using their new name to go along with their delusion, we must not go along with that. We must never give in to their delusions.

   That aside, the way to deal with this is to tell them to repent. You do not go along with their pronoun lies. If it's a child whose parents are wanting this done to them, this child abuse needs to be reported to authorities. No Christian medical professional of any type may go along with performing, prescribing, or even verbally agreeing with using hormones or butchering people via surgery.

   We cannot participate in "medical treatment" when that "medical treatment" has been butchery in the futile attempt to make someone something they will NEVER be. We cannot participate in this in any way.

   I don't say this lightly. I know this will lead to losing your job. But that's where we are in today's society. We CANNOT participate in this wickedness – especially when it comes to children! This is where our commitment to Christ above all will be most tested. We say we love Him more than everything. We're supposed to love Him more than our own famlies! Do we really love Him more than our jobs? This is where we prove it.

   Again, I am not saying this lightly. I am not saying it's easy. It's going to be terrible and cause much suffering to Christians who have to deal with this. But that's where we are in this country right now. In other countries, Christians risk DEATH for just going to church or owning a Bible. This is the reality of the world apart from Christ. We've had it so easy in America for so long. Now we are seeing what it really means to be in the world but not of it. Churches have to start being prepared to financially help their people who have been pushed out of their jobs for obedience to Christ. This is where we are. "Easy Christianity" in America is OVER.

6. The prefix 'Trans' is itself a lie. You can only be a wannabe.
