GOP Congressman stands for Gods design of men and women

Last Thursday during the debate over the misnamed Equality Act Republicans accused Democrats of ignoring Biblical values

Republican Congressman Greg Steube of Florida upset Democrats when he confirmed that God makes boys and girls unique

STEUBE In his wisdom God intentionally made each individual uniquely either male or female When men or women claim to be able to choose their own sexual identity they are making a statement that God did not know what He was doing when He created them

Im going to quote directly from Dr Tony Evans commentary Bible on this passage of Scripture Men and women equally share and burying the image of God but He has designed them to be distinct from and complimentary toward one another The gender confusion that exists in our culture today is a clear rejection of Gods good design Whenever a nations laws no longer reflect the standards of God that nation is in rebellion against Him and will inevitably bear the consequences

And I think we are seeing the consequences of rejecting God here in our country today And this bill speaks directly against what is laid out in Scripture Our government through this bill is going to redefine what a woman is and what a man is It can be anyone who identifies in that gender

Two Democratic Congressmen question the citation of Almighty God

Second Democratic Congressman Al Green of Texas equated the civil rights struggle of Black Americans on the basis of their innate skin color with the perverted agenda of homosexuals and transgenders who want to be given special rights on the basis of their deviant sexual behavior or rejection of their God-given gender

GREEN You used God to enslave my foreparents You used God to segregate me in school You use God to put me in the back of the bus

Have you no shame God created every person in this room Are you saying that God made a mistake This is not about God Its about men who choose to discriminate against other people because they have the power to do so My record will not show that I voted against Mr Democratic Congressman David Cicilline of Rhode Island having his homosexual rights My record will show that when I had the opportunity to deliver liberty for all I voted for rights for all

LEVINE Well Senator thank you for your interest in this question Transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field with robust research and standards of care that have been developed And if I am fortunate enough to be confirmed as the Assistant Secretary of Health I look forward to working with you and your office and coming to your office and discussing the particulars of the standards of care for transgender medicine

PAUL The specific question was about minors Lets be a little more specific since you evaded the question Do you support the government intervening to override the parents consent to give a child puberty blockers cross sex hormones and or amputation surgery of breasts and genitalia

Im alarmed that you wont say with certainty that minors should not have the ability to make the decision to take hormones that will affect them for the rest of their life Will you make a more firm decision on whether or not minors should be involved in these decisions

LEVINE Senator transgender medicine is a very complex and nuanced field And if confirmed to the position of Assistant Secretary of Health I would certainly be pleased to come to your office and to talk with you and your staff about the standards of care and the complexity of this field

PAUL Let it go into the record that the witness refused to answer the question The question is a very specific one Should minors be making these momentous decisions For most of the history of medicine we wouldnt let you have a cut sewn up in the ER but youre willing to let a minor take things that prevent their puberty and you think they get that back
