Whatever Their World View, No, The Kids Are Not Alright, Part 2 of 4

Whatever Their World View, No, The Kids Are Not Alright, Part 2 of 4

Yet, no doubt the same noble sacrifice ascribed to Rachel would not be given to the Christian student in prayer and fasting against the cultural tide of rebellion against God—a real existential threat to the survival of America and other Western nations.

Consider a college student attending Catholic Loyola Marymount College. She was stunned to receive a poor grade on a paper from her theology professor for referring to God as male (“Catholic University Student Penalized for Referring to God as a Man” The Federalist, 12/22/21).

Her response to her LGBT++ activist professor, “I feel targeted by your comment…” left me a bit dismayed. She engaged in the very same feelings-based, victimology verbiage so common on the Left. They never stop feeling offended by everything from our Constitution to Mr. Potato Head.

The fact that a radical, LGBT++ activist is even on staff as a theology professor at a Catholic University is a barometer of where we are as a society. A.W. Tozer said, “Religion today is not transforming people; rather it is being transformed by the people. It is not raising the moral level of society; it is descending to society’s own level, and congratulating itself that it has scored a victory because society is smilingly accepting its surrender.”

The Pope is doing such. He leads the way in a kind of Marxist Liberation theology heavy on social justice rather than on pointing people to Jesus to be saved. But then, he has said that everyone, including atheists are saved. He is the only figurehead of any denomination of Christianity that gets a seat at the U.N. table to perpetuate the deception of Climate Change—which he does. He also has an issue with the sovereignty of nations and the right to protect their borders from unlawful, mass migration. And, just recently, he gave his approval for same-sex couples to be blessed by priests.

Many other churches too, have begun filling pastor appointments with homosexuals, draping the entrances to their houses of worship with rainbow flags and taking up a pro-abortion, detestable-to-God shedding of innocent blood advocacy. Others inject Critical Race Theory, or the concept that in order to stop racism, one must be racist towards Caucasians, into children’s Sunday school lessons. If churches are becoming less inclined to counter culture, how much more so are colleges, even though many were founded on Biblical principles?

The fact is, even at faith-based colleges, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) mandates reign supreme. The student appears to be in a no-win kind of situation. Just what does academic pursuit have to do with defending how God chose to reveal Himself to mankind? If this student wrote a paper about her father as a “he,” would she be taken to task for referring to dads as males? Maybe. Even our own Congress has tried to toss out gender in favor of being “woke.”

In an article titled, “No more ‘he’ or ‘she,’ House Approves Gender-neutral Terms in its Official Language,” McClatchy DC, 1/4/21, Nancy Pelosi is quoted as saying: “As House Speaker, I am pleased to join Chairman Jim McGovern in introducing this visionary rules package, which reflects the views and values of the full range of our historically diverse House Democratic Majority.”

The package she refers to is specific, official language found in the House rules. Here are just a few of the words found in various parts of the code they voted to eliminate: mother, father, daughter, son, sister, brother, and himself and herself replaced with themself.

It seems the fix was already in with a poor grade that could only be raised if the student convinced her professor that it is acceptable to preserve God’s reference to Himself. To do so she would have to find a way out of dragging Him into twenty-first century academia’s obsession with gender inclusivity and preferred pronouns.

We cannot dispute or cancel God’s choice to reveal Himself to humanity in the male form. From the Book of Acts to the Book of Revelation, the Greek word “Theos,” or a reference to God as male is mentioned nine-hundred times. One-hundred-and-sixty times, Christ referred to God as the Father. Yet, as of right now, Bibles are being re-written with gender-neutral pronouns so as not to offend the gender confused, the “toxic masculinity crowd” or those who rail against the patriarchy.
