HE IS STILL BRUCE TO GOD

By Dr. M. R. Dowler

This week’s blog article could go several different directions, but I’ll stick with my original thoughts. What was first reported as checkout counter tabloid fodder was actually true---that Bruce Jenner was “transitioning” into what we now know as Caitlyn Jenner. Gender reassignment AKA a sex change operation is hardly new, but because of Jenner’s notoriety, his change has made him the most openly transgender in the world. It still seems amazing that acts of perversion as reported in the National Inquirer (and other tabloids) are so fascinating to so many.

We all know the facts---former Olympic gold-medal winning he-man Bruce Jenner is now 67-year old medically-manipulated female Caitlyn Marie Jenner. Transgenderism has become a hot-button topic spawning even more perversion. What began in the 1979 as the LGBT movement, has now morphed into something identified as LGBTQ (Q standing for Questioning). It’s gotten so bad that some don’t even know which restroom to use!

Secular scientists in the field of gender and genetics say there are presently 89 different genders. That’s far more than what the Expert in gender and genetics tells us; the Creator Himself says there are two, and only two genders, male and female (Genesis 1:27; 5:2). In generations past any act to override one’s birth gender was considered an act of abhorrent sacrilege against the laws of God and nature itself. However, it is interesting to note that gender cannot be changed behaviorally, verbally or genetically (Jeremiah 13:23). The DNA embedded in Caitlyn Jenner’s body is male, not female.

But there is an important point overlooked in this controversial issue. The names of every person ever born are recorded in the Book of Life. The New Testament refers to this book eight times (Philippians 4:3; Revelation 3:5; 17:8). Theologically, there are actually two Books of Life; the Lamb’s Book of Life records the name of all those who have been genuinely born again (Revelation 13:8; 21:27). It is the name William Bruce Jenner and not Caitlyn Marie Jenner that is recorded in the Book of Life (Revelation 20:12). He’s still Bruce to God. Think about it.
