Rather, it\u2019s to point out issues that Christians who are paying attention are increasingly wrestling with.<\/p>\n<p>These issues are new to those of us who grew up in a nation that once had a generally shared <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/viewers-stunned-jeopardy-contestants-totally-stumped-basic-bible-question-speaks-volumes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">biblical ethic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Not that the Bible was always followed, but there was a general recognition in this nation and in Western civilization of things virtuous and good.<\/p>\n<p>Homosexuality and its adjunct, transgenderism, were not among them.<\/p>\n<p>But in recent years \u2014 if not among the populace, at least among the ruling elites \u2014 practices and attitudes once recognized as sinful are now accepted, celebrated, promoted everywhere, and even enshrined in the legal system.<\/p>\n<p>And God help you if you don\u2019t go along with the program.<\/p>\n<p>The common charge against Christians is lack of acceptance of such issues reflects a lack of love.<\/p>\n<p>Pence attempted to deflect such criticism by saying: \u201cbut we\u2019ll love you and love our neighbor as ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But telling our neighbor \u2014 even if he or she is an adult \u2014 that it\u2019s okay to medically attempt to alter their genetic makeup is not an expression of love.<\/p>\n<p>A true expression of love is to direct them to \u201crepentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.\u201d (Acts 20:21)<\/p>\n<p>As with so many other issues \u2014 alcoholism, drug addiction, violence, depression \u2014 gender confusion can be addressed in a new life in Christ.<\/p>\n<p>So Mike Pence and the rest of us as Christian people need to keep in mind that we express no love for our neighbor by affirming his or her sin.<\/p>\n<p>That won\u2019t be popular. But popularity is opposed to the tenor of the New Testament regarding true Christian discipleship.<\/p>\n<p>And given the rapid changes ongoing in our world, many of Christ\u2019s disciples have new things to learn about living in it.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wrong-mike-pence-reveals-libertarian-stance-transgender-issues\/\">&#8216;This is Wrong&#8217;: Mike Pence Reveals His &#8216;Libertarian&#8217; Stance on Transgender Issues<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaking on Jordan Peterson&#8217;s podcast, Mike Pence, a former Vice President, made a misstep that likely went unnoticed by Peterson and his audience.
