decisions decisions...politics or society.   oh well

A sitting member of the Minnesota House of Representatives published a self-help book for Christian teens who are questioning their sexuality.

Rep. Leigh Finke, DFL-St. Paul, a first-term legislator who is transgender and identifies as a woman, released a book in 2020 entitled, “Queerfully and Wonderfully Made: A Guide for LGBTQ+ Christian Teens.”

“Queerfully and Wonderfully Made” contains almost no references to prayer and encourages teens to “limit contact” with adults who do not affirm their choices, including parents.

“Please, if your parents are unsupportive, remember this: You are a separate human person from your parents (crazy, right?!). They don’t know you like you do; they don’t get to decide who you are,” the book says. “God decided that, you have accepted it, and if they are going to be part of your future, they’ll have to accept it too.”

Finke echoed these comments during a December 2021 rally in Hastings, Minn.

“Being trans is the best. We get to create ourselves outside of any system that wants to dictate who we are. It is freedom unlike any other and you have access to it,” Finke said. “Anyone who tells you differently than this, whether it is a teacher or a pastor or even your parents, is wrong.”

not enough to go after leftist indoctrinated kids, this groomer wants CHRISTIAN kids.

Throughout the book, Finke attempts to use Bible verses to validate the queer lifestyle. The title itself is a play on Psalm 139, which states: “I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”

“If your parents do not accept you and your queerness, then they do not know what’s best for you. They just don’t. Even if they love you, even if they’re praying for you,” the book says. “Just because they love you does not mean they know what is best for you.”

“Limit contact with any adult who tells you something is wrong with you. That’s not always possible. But when it is, do it,” the book adds. “We’ll talk specifically about parental rejection later, but for now, just know that you are the only authority on who you are.”

The book compares being “queer” to a “faith journey.” It says:

“Some Christians seem secure from the beginning to the end. Others waver, doubt, leave the faith, return, leave again. Some people are comfortable their whole lives in the church they were raised in … None of these behaviors are wrong. None are invalidating. If you know, if you don’t, it’s okay. The same is true about knowing who you are, and knowing whether or not you’re queer. It’s a journey. And that’s okay.”
A local pastor said Finke is taking verses out of context. Mark Henry, pastor of Revive Church and founder of Mark Henry Ministries, said Finke is “twisting” Matthew 19:12, the verse Finke used as the cornerstone verse in the book.

The verse reads: “For there are eunuchs who have been so from birth, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Let anyone accept this who can.”

Finke implies this is evidence that Jesus was “totally fine” with the queer lifestyle.

“Did you know there were queer people in Bible times? Jesus did. And he was like, It’s totally fine, everyone. Chill out,” the book says.

“Eunuchs from birth” refers to people who are born sterile and is not affirming a queer lifestyle, Henry said.

Another concept Henry contradicted is Finke’s recommendation that teens trust their feelings. “If a voice somewhere inside you is saying you’re queer, listen,” the book says.

“They believe their sexuality is defined by how they feel, and their feelings can’t be wrong,” said Henry. “So therefore, the Bible must be wrong or they rationalize that Jesus embraces how I feel because Jesus wants me to feel good.”

Henry said Finke’s view on the parent-child relationship is skewed, and his ideology is more in line with Karl Marx, who maintains children are property of the state rather than a God-given stewardship of parents.


churches today don't do enough to combat this wrong thinking. Indeed they encourage and support it.

There is a curse in the bible...about 4 times.... you don't take from or add to the bible.

Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you.

3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baalpeor: for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the Lord thy God hath destroyed them from among you.

4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God are alive every one of you this day.

Being homosexual, lesbian, or bisexual, just ain't good enough anymore.

In Numbers 25, we find that the women of Midian began to seduce the men of Israel to sexual sin and to sacrifice to their gods. Since the gods of the pagans were often fertility gods, the “worship” often involved sexual acts. The incident is recorded in Numbers 25:1–3: “While Israel was staying in Shittim, the men began to indulge in sexual immorality with Midianite women, who invited them to the sacrifices to their gods. The people ate the sacrificial meal and bowed down before these gods. So Israel yoked themselves to the Baal of Peor. And the Lord’s anger burned against them.” As a judgment against the Israelites’ sin, God sent a plague among the people (verse 9).

According to Numbers 31:16, the women did this on the advice of Balaam. It appears that, since he could not curse Israel, he found another way to fulfill the wishes of Balaak, who was paying him. Balaam knew that, if the Israelite men could be seduced into idol worship, that God Himself would curse them.

The word peor simply means “opening” and is the name of the place (a mountain or a spot on a mountain) from which Balaak and Balaam observed the camp of Israel. The meaning of the word may or may not be significant to the naming of the place. (Perhaps there was a cave opening there or some kind of mountain pass, or perhaps the place was called Peor for some other reason.)

oh...this is interesting.
