Facebook’s new gender options ?
“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind . . . to do those things which are not convenient (not becoming, not fit) . . .!”
Romans 1:24-32
Quote from The Washington Post – “Facebook introduced new gender options yesterday, making the site more user-friendly to people who don’t identify strictly as male or female. But while the change has been lauded by many people — particularly LGBT groups that have lobbied for such a change — it’s also been greeted by a bit of confusion. Like — what’s the difference between “bigender” and “gender fluid”? And what does “two spirit” mean, anyway . . . ?”

And when ye shall see all these things “begin to come to pass, then look up, for your Redemption draweth nigh !” Luke 21:28
Each soul is of great value to the LORD God, for He and His Son have given all for their redemption (deliverance, freedom, salvation, rescue). Let us pray for all who are yet walking in the darkness of sin and unbelief. For Christ Jesus has paid for them whether they realize it or not . . . He would have given His Life for even only one . . . !

Hi, Eric,
This is Luiz Lange. I pray that you and your family are doing well in the protection and blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
I honestly don’t think this as a great decision of yours, and this is why: Jesus never stopped going to the synagogues or the temple in Jerusalem just because there were unrepentant rabbis and priests there. He stayed, and kept talking to them and AT them with his hardest sword tips full of Law for repentance, because he wished so badly that they would turn away from their sins and toward Him for forgiveness. The same way He has NEVER turned away from you and me, when we were sinking deep into a pit of mud!
The only moment he left this whole world of ours, full of messy garbage, is when people grabbed him physically and forced him out. Same thing that the Christians in Africa are being forced to do right now, holding on tight to their faith in Jesus till their very deaths.
Steven’s death by lapidation marked deeply the soul of the young Saul, and I am sure that it also worked as a boost for the adult apostle Paul, helping him go farther and wider around the world to proclaim the gospel, all the way to his announced death. This kind of resistance HELPS BRING PEOPLE TO JESUS.
Same thing with Daniel and his friends back in Babylon, when the king announced afterwards by “newspapers” to the whole empire that Daniel’s God was the mightiest God.
I personally think it’s time to move away from sin, but not from the sinners. I’m personally staying in Facebook (by the way you’ll find me as Luiz Roberto Lange), and my ideal image is a lighthouse in the middle of an ocean storm. I’ll just stay there, holding on, sending the Light through. Until I am forced out due to my not bending down to Ba’al, whatever that idol will be like in these days.
Please do not send out the message that it is better to remove ourselves from the world. That was not Jesus’ message! He said, “I send you TO the wolves as sheep”, and stay there holding on to MY hand, and I’ll protect you and show MY power through YOUR worthlessness and weakness.
May our Lord help us all, and give us strength to hold on till the end.
Cheers,
Luiz
