Why is it all About Gender?

Theology and Politics from a Conservative, Biblical Perspective

In today’s world, we are seeing a tremendous effort to establish transgenderism as normative. The push is so strong today, going to the extent of some even wanting laws established that force people to go along with the demands of transgenderism (e.g. forced to refer to transgenders as “they” or their preferred pronoun). We are all too well aware of how the homosexual groups have been pushing their agenda enough so that they could codify their same-sex unions in marriage (back in 2008). Terry James writes about this agenda and what it mean.[1] That of course, was really the first step in opening Pandora’s Box.

While some have indicated that a push toward trans gender acceptance adds to the depopulation scheme allegedly pushed by controbalists (because people who surgically transition are often left sterile), I believe there’s a larger reason for the acceleration of global acceptance of trans ideology. That overall reason, in my opinion, is because it is the physical representation of what has been part and parcel of the New Age belief system for generations. Demons (fallen angels), have always been at odds with biblical truth, always seeking to destroy biblical truth, replacing it with “truth” based on feelings. This was true in Noah’s day. It was true in Lot’s day and it is absolutely true in our day, which I believe is most likely the last generation prior to the Tribulation and physical return of Jesus.

The New Age movement (spiritism, theosophy, etc.), has long taught that every human being – whether male or female – has aspects of both genders in each person. This, they say, is reality and something that has been unfairly hidden by Christianity (and Orthodox Judaism), since its inception. No comment on Islam apparently…

The more I read about aspects of Spiritism/Spiritualism, Theosophy, Buddhism or other aspects of what is broadly termed “New Age Movement” beliefs and practices, the plain reality of the matter comes down to this: it is all an attempt to declare God’s truth false. This is done often by simpering and whining about how Christians have completely misunderstood the words of Jesus and made them out to be something they are not. To “right” this, New Age philosophers and cultists have done their best to twist Scripture so that another meaning can be grasped from virtually the same text. By the way, this is occurring to a great degree within many mainline churches in America.

Whether certain philosophies, religions (or denominations within Christianity), will admit it or not the real goal of every false religious order and heresy is the destruction of Christianity. That is the top drawer reason for the existence of these false groups. In order to do that, things must be turned completely upside down, as far as Christianity and its beliefs are concerned.

We cannot go into the Tribulation with up to half the world (or more), still seeing the Bible as authoritative. Even if it’s less than that, that is still too much hope in the world. Remember, it is the Holy Spirit working through the Church that restrains the power of evil as much as it does today. That means that with Christ in YOU (through the Holy Spirit), your presence, your faith in Christ, your worship and fellowship of and with Him acts as a means of restraining evil from becoming as evil as it can be. This will obviously and clearly change during the Tribulation as Revelation notes throughout and as Paul touches on as well (2 Thessalonians 2).

So if the goal is to overturn Christianity, what does that look like in the world? It looks like the reverse comes into existence, accepted to replace of the actual truth of God that was evidenced first within Judaism under Moses’ leadership and finalized in Christianity under the Headship of Jesus.

We don’t have time to look at all the various New Age religions but let’s simply focus on one in particular: theosophy. This was essentially begun by a woman named Madame Blavatski. Here’s some interesting background on her.

…Madame Blavatski, Russian gentlewoman, granddaughter of Princess Dolgorouki of the elder branch, and widow of General N. V. Blavatski, Governor, during the Crimean war and for many years, of Erivan in Armenia, This lady, after devoting herself to occult pursuits for some thirty years, repaired to a Himalayan retreat, where she spent seven years under the immediate direction of the Brothers, and was initiated and instructed for her mission. She was then dismissed to the outer world, and, having proceeded to America, and attracted there a number of sympathizing minds, she organized the Theosophical Society, at New York, under the presidency of Colonel Olcott. This was in the year 1875.[1]

Most people have at least heard of Blavatski. Interestingly enough, after she started her society in America, she traveled back to England, establishing her same society in that country too. She then went back India and began gaining converts after a false start. G. H. Pember notes that there were ultimately five goals to Blavatski’s Theosophical Society that it would be well for us to know.

1. To form the nucleus of a Universal Brotherhood of Humanity
2. To study Aryan literature, religion and science
3. To vindicate the importance of this inquiry
4. To explore the hidden mysteries of Nature, and the latent powers of man.

Notice number 2 refers to Nazism really. It seems to all come back to that, just like today with Ukraine. All of a sudden, the Nazis there are perfectly fine.

If those four points aren’t bad enough, or should I say “anti-God” enough, there is the fifth one that removes all doubt as to the wishes and determined goal of Blavatski’s Theosophical Society. The fifth goal is as follows in its horrifying simplicity.

5. The destruction of Christianity.

In essence, every false religion has as its goal to destroy Christianity, the only “religion” that offers actual truth and fellowship with the Creator; One who not only exposes our sin but is willing to still draw us to Him because of the fact that God the Son became the propitiation for our sin. No other religious system claims that and in essence, they are all a variation of the others, with different emphases.

So what does any of this have to do with transgenderism? Simply put, within the New Age religions, a unifying belief is as noted above, is that all people, regardless of gender, have both genders already. This means in a sense that all people – male and female – are already “gender-fluid” to a degree. But it’s much more than that. In effect, what we learn when we study the beliefs of these various “earth-based” religions, is that while they may point to aspects of the Bible as foundational for their own beliefs, they often imply a different meaning when doing so.

For instance, the way the fall of Adam and Eve is perceived by those within the New Age is merely one example. Christians understand that the fall of Adam and Eve resulted in the creation of the sin nature in all humanity, which passed along to everyone since we all came from that first couple after they fell. New Age/Theosophists et al take from the fall a completely different meaning.

The fall of man does not mean, as commonly supposed, the lapse through a specific act, of particular individuals from a state of original perfection…it means such an inversion of the due relations between the soul and the body of a personality already both spiritual and material, as involves a transference of the central will of the system concerned, from the soul – which is its proper seat – to the body, and the consequent6 subjection of the soul to result from the limitations of matter.[2]

Pember, in quoting that statement above, goes onto state the following: “And connected with this exposition is the following strange doctrine, leading up, as all Paganism does, to the worship of the great Goddess, the Mother and Child, and also to a reversal of God’s order in Creation.“[3]

As if this is not weird enough, but not surprising to anyone who has studied any form of New Age religion, it gets worse and in doing so, effectively provides us with a “tell,” that allows us to see clearly the goal within these religions.

Whatever the sex of the person, physically, each individual is a dualism consisting of exterior and interior, manifested personality and essential individuality, body and soul, which are to each other masculine and feminine, man and woman; he the without and she the within.[4]

What they are saying is that “…just as the woman is to the man on the planes intellectual and spiritual, so is she on the planes physical and social. She is the proper head of creation: the subjection of the feminine to the masculine in the individual was the Fall; the subjection of the woman to the man in the world is the outward and visible sign of the Fall. And it is only by ‘the complete restoration crowning and exaltation of the woman, in all the planes, that redemption can be affected.”[5]

Pember takes some time to flesh this out further using other quotes from Theosophy that nail things down, but we can see the clear goal. It is the overthrowing of God’s created order in favor of Satan’s. That is it in a nutshell. This is why first the gay movement was unleashed onto American society eventually resulting in the creation of law that gave legal standing to same-sex unions. Now, we are seeing another phase of that with the prominence of transgenderism. The third and final push (as we are also seeing now), is the legitimacy of pedophilia (aka man-boy love). All of these pushes are all part of the same agenda, to push back and destroy God’s truth, replacing it with lies that appear to be noble and loving.

It is also then not surprising that Theosophy has its own peculiar meaning for the “atonement.” Everything that is foundational to Christianity is attacked whether it has to do with Jesus Himself and His deity and His claims or specific doctrines and theology of Christianity regarding eternal life, eternal death, the coming Kingdom, the resurrection of the saints to eternal life, the resurrection of the unjust to the Great White Throne and their punishment, etc. Everything that Christianity refers to our teaches is doubted, twisted, explained away or overruled by all New Age-based religious earth-cults because they all rise from doctrines of demons.

Interestingly, two specific doctrines of demons are mentioned by Paul (1 Timothy 4:1). If Paul mentioned them, he did so because he began to see them popping up during his lifetime and also knew (by the Spirit), that these would become much more powerfully pronounced at the close of the age prior to the start of the Tribulation.

What exactly are the doctrines of demons he mentions?

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, ² speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron, ³ forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from foods which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth. (1 Timothy 4:1-3)

First is forbidding to marry. The second one is commanding to abstain from foods (some translations say “meat”). Do we see this on the rise today? Absolutely. It’s not so much that people are being commanded not to marry. It’s that the prevalence in society is simply not to be married today, though it may easily come to the point where marriage might become verboten. This is the exact opposite of what God ordained. He decided that a man and a woman who marry should remain together for life because marriage is an honorable institution. Not so much today.

The other area is being told that we should avoid certain foods. There is a growing effort by globalists to tell the rest of us to avoid eating meat because of the “carbon footprint” it supposedly creates. In fact, they’ve also told us they want us eating insects and vegetables (GMO of course).

We can expect these efforts to become far greater so that people will become more and more pressured to avoid certain foods and do away with marriage. Digital currencies – the greatest form of surveillance and control – will give controbalists more power to enforce this. All of these things and everything else mentioned in this article are doctrines of demons, literally dating all the way back to Genesis 6 and the Nephilim there.

This is where this world is heading. Knowing that, we have choices. We can gain a better understanding of our role in the world. We should recognize we cannot change anything that’s coming. It’s set in stone because God is fully in charge and allows it for His purposes.

We need to wake up to the reality that we have a purpose in this world and it is to be Great Commission Christians, to do what Noah did and we can even see Lot’s attempt to do that as well (Genesis 19). We must be about helping unsaved people understand they are unsaved but they don’t need to remain in that state. Certainly, God opens people’s eyes, but it is our job to tell them.

This world is heading over the cliff into the unparalleled horror of the coming Tribulation. Be that as it may, our job does not change.
