Bruce Jenner

Almost everyone is talking about Bruce Jenner. He's on television, radio, newspapers, and the social media. Everyone has an opinion. As a Christian, I wanted to know what the Bible teaches us. Here's what I found: Genesis 5:2 "male and female He created them." Psalms 139:13 "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb." God is perfect and does not make mistakes. God made Bruce Jenner into a man, so that is what he was meant to be, whether he likes it or not. Doctors can change the way he looks, but they cannot change what God made him to be. He may have breasts, but he still looks like a man, walks like a man, and sounds like a man. He may be an eunuch, but he is a man. Bruce dresses like a woman. The Bible says, Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the Lord detests anyone who does this." 1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unright...

What's Wrong With the Ten Commandments?

The Ten Commandments are being removed from all government properties in the United States. I'm a Christian. I have a hard time understanding what is so wrong with using the Ten Commandments as a way of teaching good values and morality. Most children are not getting that at home anymore. 1.

Why does it upset you if I don't? 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. It is considered unexceptable to use certain words, especially in public. Although sometimes frowned upon, most people substitute other words in their places. For instance, the word frick is often used to replace...

What Is Freedom?

Our great country just celebrated another birthday. Here in the United States of America, we pride ourselves on being a free country. But what is freedom? Does that mean we can do anything we want? Of course not. For every freedom someone is granted, a freedom is taken away from someone else. There are some great controversies going on right now over freedoms. One is over the Confederate flag. Many see it as a symbol of hate. Others see it as a southern symbol or as a tradition. Now it is being banned all over the country, amid protests of many. The Civil War is being fought again. Shouldn't the people have been allowed to vote on that decision, instead of allowing it to be decided by politicians looking for votes in the next election? Why? Over a piece of cloth that you can make mean anything you wish. Yes, it was used toward the end of the war. That offends many. Not everyone that fought for the Confederacy owned slaves. Not everyone believed in slavery. Not everyone who...
