“Male and Female Created He Them”

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, December 21, 2018 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Next week we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who was Creator long before He was born in human form.  After creating the heavens and earth and everything within them, He created a male human, named Adam, and a female human, named Eve, whose name means “the mother of all living.”  But even before Adam and Eve were created, God established the design for sex when He created male and female animals, fowl, marine life, and vegetation.

Although many in this culture are inventing additional sexes, organizations and individuals I’ll call the “Truth Group” actively support God’s design.  On December 4th the Truth Group  wrote a three-page letter to the Department of Justice.  That letter was signed by 36 professionals, individuals, and organizations, who affirmed the absolute truth that sex has only two divisions – male and female.

For example: The Institute of Medicine and the American Psychiatric Association explained to the Department of Justice that sex is biologically based on unchanging sex chromosomes and reproductive organs that are unique to male or female humans.

They explain that sex is established at conception, declares itself in utero, and is acknowledged at birth, for the express purpose of reproducing the human species.  Also, they explain that sex chromosomes impart inborn differences between men and women in, literally, every cell of the body, including the brain.

Therefore, anyone identifying as transgender remains either a biological male or female.  That’s an important medical fact, because diseases that affect both sexes often have different frequencies, symptoms and responses to treatment in males and females.  They cite the heart medication, Betapace, which is three times more likely to cause a lethal heart rhythm in women than in men.  Continue reading →

Women in Combat Deemed “Job Opportunities”

“They’ll be allowed to drive tanks, fire mortars, and lead infantry soldiers into combat. They’ll be able to serve as Army Rangers and Green Berets, Navy SEALs, Marine Corps infantry, Air Force parajumpers, and everything else that was previously open only to men.” –Department of Defense Secretary Ashton Carter, April 2016

Although Marine Corps officials asked former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter to keep women out of positions such as infantry, machine gunner, and fire support, the request was denied. Mr. Carter declared that the rule placing women in combat would “apply without exception.”

Background. The Women’s Armed Services Integration Act of 1948 excluded women from combat. In 2012, during the Obama administration, Pentagon policies were changed to allow women to serve in 14,000 military positions formerly restricted to men, leaving 238,000 men-only positions. Soon, women were admitted to Navy submarines and the Army Ranger School which graduated three women in 2015 – two in August and a third several weeks later.

Also in 2012, three years after a group of servicewomen sued the Pentagon, then-Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta announced a subsequent rule, that “just happened” to come two months after the suit was filed, and “just happened” to allow women to serve in combat.

By January 24, 2013 the Combat Exclusion Policy was lifted, as recommended by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in that Administration. To avoid the term “women in combat,” the Pentagon ordered all services to admit women into all jobs by January 2016. Also that date was the deadline for all military services to change to gender-neutral physical tests and adopt a policy that requires men and women (without exception) to serve in front line combat and complete combat operations. Therefore, front-line combat positions became co-ed and mandatory.

Under current military policy, both men and women deemed fit for combat are eligible for assignment to front line combat positions, the Pentagon calls “job opportunities” for women.

In April 2016 the U.S. Army announced the first 22 women to become infantry and amour second lieutenants in charge of units of 40 troops. Also in April 2016, of the 29 women who tried to complete the Marine Corps Infantry Officer Course, all 29 of them failed.

Weddings & Religious Freedom

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, October 13, 2017 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Who would’ve thought a little town would ostracize a local family business because of a Facebook post, but that happened to Steve and Bridget Tennes and their five children.  It seems the freedom of speech is limited in that neck-of-the-woods.

The Tenneses, who own a 120-acre farm in Charlotte, Michigan, were banned from selling their produce at the East Lansing Farmer’s Market, simply because they posted a message on Facebook to explain their policy about hosting marriages on their Country Mill farm.

In August 2016, in response to questions about services provided for the wedding venue on the family farm, they posted this on Facebook:  “Due to our religious beliefs, we do not participate in the celebration of a same-sex union.”  That statement reflects their Catholic faith.

For help they turned to the Alliance Defending Freedom, whose lawyer explained, “East Lansing officials changed their market policy to shut out Steve because they don’t like his Catholic beliefs regarding marriage.”  Although the Tenneses live 22 miles outside East Lansing, town officials decided to punish them for exercising their freedoms of speech and religious expression.  That unconstitutional punishment (a) denied them the right to sell produce, (b) decreased their income, and (c) diminished their quality of life.

For three and one-half months, the couple was banned from selling organic apples and cider in the largest market available to them.  In May, they filed a federal lawsuit against East Lansing, asking for an injunction that would allow them to return to the market while the case proceeds.  Continue reading →

Franklin Graham, Religion & Marriage Law

Radio Commentary, 90.7, 91.7 New Life FM, January 29, 2016 – By Sue Ella Deadwyler

Have you heard the good news? Billy Graham’s son Franklin began his Decision America Tour in Des Moines, Iowa on January 5th. His sixth stop is planned for Atlanta, where the program of Christian music, prayer for the nation and an evangelistic message is free-of-charge and open to the public, at Liberty Plaza, directly behind the State Capitol, at noon Wednesday, February 10th. So, come, bring your friends, and wear your most comfortable walking shoes (regardless of how they look.)

Meanwhile, please work on Representative Kevin Tanner’s two new religious liberty bills introduced January 14th. H.B. 756 is okay. It affirms the right of businesses to provide services and products without compromising their religious beliefs. Call Judiciary Chairman Willard at 404 656-5125 and ask him to pass H.B. 756 out of committee.

But Section 1 of H.B. 757 is not okay. In the introductory paragraph of Section 1, H.B. 757 repeals Georgia marriage law in Code Section 19-3-3.1 that (a) defines marriage as between a man and a woman, (b) prohibits same-sex marriage in Georgia, and (c) prohibits the recognition of same-sex unions performed elsewhere. Then, it replaces Georgia’s current marriage law with the following:

“No minister of the gospel or cleric or religious practitioner ordained or authorized to solemnize marriages according to the usages of the denomination, when acting in his or her official religious capacity, shall be required to solemnize any marriage in violation of his or her right to free exercise of religion under the Constitution of this state or of the United States.” Continue reading →
