James warns that those who teach will be judged more strictly (James 3:1). That reality has humbled me throughout my ministry, and it should humble anyone who publicly speaks in the Name of Christ.<\/p>\n
For that reason, I offer these thoughts\u2014not as an attack, but as a pastoral appeal for Biblical clarity and faithfulness.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
1. Concerning Your Statement that God Is Non-Binary<\/p>\n
God is spirit and transcends human limitations. Christians agree on that. The question, however, is not how modern culture categorizes God but how God has chosen to reveal Himself. Throughout Scripture, God consistently reveals Himself as Father. Jesus taught His disciples to pray, \u201cOur Father in heaven\u201d (Matthew 6:9). Christ is the Son, and the Church is His Bride. These are not accidental descriptions but part of God\u2019s self-revelation.<\/p>\n
Every generation faces the temptation to reshape God according to its own values. Ancient cultures carved idols from stone. Modern cultures often carve them from ideology. Faithful Christianity begins by allowing God to define Himself rather than redefining Him according to cultural preferences. We do not improve upon divine revelation; we submit to it.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
2. Concerning Your Statement That Other Religions Are Circling the Same Truth<\/p>\n
Respect for people of different faiths is a Christian virtue. Surrendering truth is not. The suggestion that multiple religions ultimately lead to the same God stands in direct conflict with the words of Jesus Himself.<\/p>\n
Jesus declared, \u201cI am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me\u201d (John 14:6). Peter echoed that truth when he proclaimed, \u201cThere is salvation in no one else\u201d (Acts 4:12). Christianity does not teach that all roads lead to God. It teaches that God has provided one Savior for the world. We can love our neighbors of every faith while remaining faithful to the exclusive claims of Christ.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
3. Concerning Your Statement That the Bible Is Silent on Abortion<\/p>\n
While Scripture does not use the modern term abortion, it speaks clearly about life in the womb. David wrote, \u201cYou knit me together in my mother\u2019s womb\u201d (Psalm 139:13). God told Jeremiah, \u201cBefore I formed you in the womb I knew you\u201d (Jeremiah 1:5). John the Baptist responded to Christ while still in his mother\u2019s womb (Luke 1:41).<\/p>\n
The consistent testimony of Scripture is that unborn children are known by God, created by God and valued by God. The question is not whether the word abortion appears in the Bible. The question is whether the child in the womb is a human life bearing God\u2019s image. Scripture answers that question repeatedly and clearly. Christians have historically defended the unborn not because of politics, but because every human life belongs to God.<\/p>\n
