Episode notes
Responding to the "God's Design" Argument
- Counter the "God doesn't make mistakes" argument by highlighting it doesn't mean everything that happens is God’s specific design.
- God designed humans male and female, as stated in Genesis 1 and 2, affirmed by Jesus in Matthew 19.
Cultural Influence on Gender Dysphoria
- Gender dysphoria’s surge, especially among young girls, is linked to cultural influences, not God's design.
- This is a societal issue that needs help and encouragement, not affirmation, similar to anorexia or bulimia.
Grounding "What Ifs" in Truth
- Ground "what if" scenarios in biblical truth, not personal feelings, to determine right from wrong.
- Challenge assumptions by using parallel examples like kleptomania to expose inconsistencies.
