House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana) defends the truth of the gender binary: God created humans.
The House passed it on Tuesday.The “Women and Girls in Sports Protection Act'' prohibits biological males from playing on the same sports teams as females, from elementary school to college. The bill was needed because a growing number of biological men are claiming to be transgender athletes and demanding that their gender identity not prevent them from competing with biological women.
“I'm a Bible-believing Christian and I make no apologies for that.”
After passing the bill, Johnson said House Republicans were determined to stand up for “what's right and what's common sense.”
“We know from the Bible and from nature that a man is a man, a woman is a woman, and a man cannot be a woman,” Johnson said. added.
“It's sad that I have to say something like that,” the speaker said. “It's a question of biology. That's how we're made.”
A few minutes later, why do we believe that Genesis teaches that God created the gender binary when some ultra-progressive Christians are concocting novel interpretations to justify LGBTQ theory? Mr. Johnson was forced to defend the truth when asked by reporters.
The reporter said:
You started saying a man is a man and a woman is a woman…and that's what the Bible teaches. …can you tell me why the Christian Bible teaches that way? I'm interested in your response to the various Christian traditions that ordain openly transgender people with different interpretations of the Bible. there is.
But Johnson remained unmoved. answered Quote Genesis 1:27.
“Well, going back to the first book, Genesis, man and woman, he created it,” Johnson said.
“I don't know if there are other interpretations, but everyone is open to interpreting the Bible any way they want.
“But this also accords with common sense. So we know it from our religious traditions and we believe it to be true. I'm a Bible-believing Christian and I apologize for that.” I have no intention of doing so,” Johnson continued. “But whether you consider it to be true or not, it's also nature. It's biology, and biology is not prejudice.”
LGBTQ-aware Christian pastor blame Mr. Johnson, a Baptist, condemned that “absurd” interpretation, but Mr. Johnson was only defending the position that the Christian church has always held. Indeed, outside the liberal Western world, where the majority of churches exist today, “traditional” positions on gender and sexual ethics remain the unquestioned norm.
