The tabloids are fervently anticipating the next chapter of the train wreck which is the Kardashians. Sadly for them, Bruce Jenner (the “man’s man” of the 1976 Olympics), is still recovering from his car crash, and this has caused his sex change surgery to be delayed. Likewise, the rubberneckers will be forced to wait a little longer for the debut of his reality show which rumored to be called: “TRANSformation.”

For those who just can’t wait, two of our favorite Christian “unreality stars” have made it known just what God has to say about gender issues.

First, our good friend, Ken Ham has written a column entitled, “Agender or A gender?” (Get what he’s doing there?). In it, Ham states that all “major doctrines of the Christian faith are based either directly or indirectly in Genesis 1–11,” and because many in the modern churches have “rejected Genesis as historical,” other doctrines, including those of morality, have been compromised.

Case in point, Ham says “the battle being fought right now is a rejection of a distinction between genders,” and the devastating consequences have caused stores like Selfridges to consider doing away with “its separate men and women’s departments and will instead have three floors of unisex clothing.” Oh the horror!

Always the empathetic diplomat, Ham acknowledges that “Selfridges is a secular company,” and is free to not “make their decisions based on a biblical worldview.” Nonetheless, it should be clear that they are not “creating something neutral,” but in fact, are “discriminating against those who wish to shop for distinctly male and female clothing.” For when a “secular world cries tolerance, they are actually crying intolerance against the Christian worldview.”

So what’s Ham’s solution? Ken declares that Christians must “stand firmly on the authority of God’s Word from the very beginning. There are distinct genders—male and female—because God created humans in His image and ‘male and female He created them’ (Genesis 1:27).”

You see, by not acknowledging the accuracy of a young earth, and the truth that Cain and Abel rode around Eden on dinosaurs, the church has indirectly allowed for the redefinition of gender. And “any culture that does not accept this will suffer all sorts of negative consequences.”

Well, at least Ham’s consistent in his theology.

Now, I’m sure there are many of you thinking, that Ham is a wacko on the edges of Christian acceptance, and although I would argue otherwise, he is not alone.

Even, Pope Francis, who has been promoted as the “kinder and gentler pontiff” has proven that PR can only go so far in rewriting public opinion.

According to Gay Star News, in a new book being published in Italy, the Pope compares “trans and genderqueer people to nuclear weapons.” Here’s an excerpt of the article:

‘Let’s think of the nuclear arms, of the possibility to annihilate in a few instants a very high number of human beings,’ he says. ‘Let’s think also of genetic manipulation, of the manipulation of life, or of the gender theory, that does not recognize the order of creation.’ ‘With this attitude, man commits a new sin, that against God the Creator,’ the pope adds. ‘The true custody of creation does not have anything to do with the ideologies that consider man like an accident, like a problem to eliminate.’ ‘God has placed man and woman and the summit of creation and has entrusted them with the earth,’ Francis says. ‘The design of the Creator is written in nature.’ ‘If we fail in this responsibility, if we do not take care of our brothers and of all creation, destruction advances,’ he added.

So sad.
