I Like How Conservatives Think 16 Year Old Kids Aren't Old Enough To Change Their Pronouns But Are Old

I do think that US communists should be doing more to engage in mutual aid—just not in the ad hoc disorganized way anarchists suggest. Food banks and meals programs are rather prevalent in US cities, yet also incredibly disorganized and pressed for resources. They are functionally a part of the capitalist system right now, where a portion of the surplus food that would go to waste is distributed to the working poor by means of depoliticized organizations often disconnected from the communities they serve.

Imo, communists could greatly strengthen our connection to the masses by developing a systematized and politicized network of mutual aid, not in place of mass work but as a bridge between the organization’s political work and the lower strata of the working class.

Bro, your next post is literally telling advocates for Palestine not to vote for Harris lol

and the fact that even slight criticism of kamala, the public servant we’re expected to elect as the PRESIDENT of our COUNTRY as the PROGRESSIVE option, is seen as immediate unwavering support of trump….. yall cannot actually be this stupid, i don’t want to believe it

saw the most insane thing when walking by a gallery today in nyc. i stopped dead in my tracks and thought "i did not just see what i thought i saw" and yea. it was exactly what i thought i saw

Why the Church should accept Trans People: A Theological Argument

Firstly, the church claims that SRS is equivalent to castration, which in biblical times would turn someone into a eunuch. Yes there are Levitical laws against this (and against eunuchs entering the temple), but lets see what ELSE the bible has to say on the issue.

Isaiah 56:4-5 “For this is what the Lord says: “To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths,/ who choose what pleases me/ and hold fast to my covenant—/to them I will give within my temple and its walls/ a memorial and a name/ better than sons and daughters;/ I will give them an everlasting name/ that will endure forever.”

It seems almost as if those just people who human beings condemn will be rewarded!

Now is the issue of God creating us male or female, and God doesn’t make mistakes. First of all, we are created (known) by God before conception.

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”

Look! When God forms His plan for us, he does not pay much attention to the womb, he pays attention to our purpose. In fact, it is often through our struggles that God reveals to us our purposes.

Exodus 4:10 “Moses said to the LORD, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue."”

Luke 1:7 “ But they were childless because Elizabeth was not able to conceive, and they were both very old.”

Moses and Elizabeth both had purposes that directly contradicted their bodies! It is obvious that these problems caused them great shame and sadness, yet through God’s will they overcame their struggles, were transformed, and became tools of the Lord!

Who are we, mere humans, to say that God’s Law is greater than his Will? Look! The Blessed Mother conceived of a Child before marriage to Joseph! Will you call God a sinner for breaking the rules he himself established?

And as for the Law, let’s read a very important teaching by Christ on how to follow it correctly:

Mark 3:4 “Then he turned to his critics and asked, “Does the law permit good deeds on the Sabbath, or is it a day for doing evil? Is this a day to save life or to destroy it?” But they wouldn’t answer him.”

(I use the verses from the NIV throughout this post, but for Mark 3:4 I’ve chosen to use the NLT. “…or is it a day for doing evil?”, the wording used in the NLT, really captures the hypocrisy of the lovers of law. Imagine! The day the Lord set apart being used as a day for evil!)

It is easy to see that when following the law brings evil into the world, it is unlawful. Even the devil can quote scripture (see: the Temptation of Christ), which is why we have our consciences.

Jeremiah 31:33-34 “This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,” declares the Lord.“I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts.I will be their God,and they will be my people.No longer will they teach their neighbor,or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’because they will all know me,from the least of them to the greatest,”

Does it not hurt you when you insult and degrade a trans person? This is how you can know that transphobia is NOT permitted by God. In fact, it breaks the law of the New Covenant, set by Jesus Christ himself.

John 13:34 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”

When you make transphobic comments and attacks, when you don’t welcome trans people into your churches or homes, are you loving as Jesus did? Are you loving that trans person so much that you would lay down your life for them, that you would bear the burden and guilt of each and every one of their sins?

1 Corinthians 13:4 “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.”

Obviously not. And furthermore, what do we know about hating others in the name of God?

1 John 2:9-11 “Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. Anyone who loves their brother and sister  lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.”

When a person has gender dysphoria, it is because God has a plan for them that involves transition. When you are transphobic, you commit blasphemy against God’s will, as well as break the covenant of Jesus Christ.

So to any and all transphobic Christians, I repeat the words of Jesus Christ to you:

Repent and believe in the Gospel! Do not judge, or you yourself will be judged! Love both your brother and your enemy!

If they chose him, they'll probably choose a good one???

the pope just died????
