Lies attacking our self-understanding

Transgenderism is just the warm-up act, it’s the vanguard for the end game — full-blown transhumanism.

The trans movement pretends to be a grass-roots, completely organic groundswell of trans rights activists fighting for the oppressed and disadvantaged transgender class. But like many international movements that suddenly erupt on the global scene, the trans movement is not what it appears to be. It’s actually a well-orchestrated, well-funded, socially-engineered movement designed to, yes, destroy the concepts of sex and gender and generate widespread confusion. But it also is poised to usher us into the transhumanist era.

The masks, the distancing, the lockdowns, the vaccines, and now the ‘vaccine passports’ — will they all become part of this ‘new normal?’ The very ugly truth is that, the new normal, promoted by public health wonks and medical experts, is only the beginning of the transhumanist future, planned for decades by major global powers. The world and us humans, if they get their way, will look and act very differently in the next ten years.

This may seem like conspiracy theory until you actually look at the many and varied ways this tranhumanist future is now rolling out. In the absence of this grand vision, what’s happening in the world is a confusing morass of conflicting information. But seeing transhumanism as the end game, it all starts to make sense.

Lie: My life is meaningless
Truth: Your life is full of meaning and purpose.

This lie is told (most often subliminally) in different ways with different words, but all the ways and words are equally devastating:
 Life is meaningless
 What’s the use?
 It’s just not worth it
 What difference does it make?
 I have no purpose
 I’m bored
 I don’t know what to do.
 I give up
 What’s the point of it all?  or simply: ‘why . . Why . . WHY?!’
Nearly all of us struggle to some degree with this lie and no one is exempt from the assault. Some try to . . .

Lie: I’m
responsible for my health.

Truth: What is
commonly called ‘our health’ is actually inseparable from our soul, which is integrally
dependent on God’s own life. So to be responsible for a health that is independent
of God, ignores the divine life intended to fill and power it.

It’s a common-enough assumption: ‘Hey, this is my body!’ After all, you may say, who else would it belong to? And furthermore, who else could do anything with it anyway? Yes, these are the bodies that we’ve been given, but that doesn’t mean they belong to us. We will one day leave this body — then whose body will it be?

We usually think that joy and sorrow are mutually exclusive – you can’t have both at the same time. But that’s simply not true. In his second letter to the Corinthian church, which most regard as his most autobiographical, Paul says:
” . . as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold we live; as chastened, and yet not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing . . .”

Lie:      Sleep is a waste.
Truth: Sleep is a rehearsal for death and resurrection.

It’s one of life’s most familiar daily routines but at the same time one of its greatest mysteries. It’s something we all do each night but something we could not avoid even if we tried. What am I talking about? It’s that phenomenon where we go involuntarily unconscious for hours, commonly known as: sleep.

In the first part I outlined the defeatist mentalities that we can easily assume if we harbor this lie. Then I described two of the foundational truths we need to believe to overcome these deadly lifestyles. In this part 2, I’ll go into the meaning and practice of the third and final truth: that we must take up our own cross.

Lie: I am defeated.
Truth: We now share in the final triumph of Christ.
We’ve all felt defeated, either because of weaknesses or sins or failures or a general lack of achievement. The recording in our heads plays an endless loop: ‘you’re lame, worthless, useless, an all-around failure,’ and then the refrain follows – ‘and nothing will ever, ever change.’ Many Christians see no way to switch it off because, in most cases, the reasons for us to feel lame, worthless, useless and a failure, happen to be true. And simply trying to forgive ourselves or tell ourselves that we’re victims of the human condition or even ‘sinners saved by grace,’ doesn’t really help.
Inevitably, this defeated mentality produces some easily predictable lives . . .

Lie: People with same-sex attractions are rebellious, are mistakes and are rejected by God.
Truth: People with same-sex attractions are not rejected by God and may be modern-day eunuchs.

God made every human being on earth as a unique masterpiece – no two of us are alike. We differ in so many ways: in our outward appearance, our personality, our likes and dislikes, our health conditions and more. That said, most of us still have two eyes, a nose and a mouth – though a few of us do not. . . . And most of us are clearly born as a boy or a girl, yet (surprise!) some of us are not. We call these babies hermaphrodites or now, ‘intersex’ (those who have characteristics of both male and female organs, genitalia or chromosomes).
These exceptions are a reality in our world; no one would dispute this. But let me go one step farther: most of us grow up with an opposite-sex attraction, but (again, surprise!) some of us do not.
