On Friday my sister came back home from the hospital, but sadly she went back into the hospital Tuesday night. It's been stressful, but God's been getting us all through this. It sounds weird, but I'm almost getting used to this. XD We just have our routine now, with my niece, visiting my sister in the hospital, and all that. They're talking more seriously about surgery, hopefully by Monday. This whole thing has really just been a waiting game. o.o
Anywho, let's get going with today's post!

I posted this info on the other blog I write for, Animal Jam Community, and a lot of people said they won't be able to make it. So if a lot of people also say that on here, I might potentially change the date, or time. So please comment down below if you can come or not, and if so, what a good day and time is for you!

Before I get to the second part of this post, I just want to say that I'm a little nervous writing this, because I really don't want hate comments. So, if you don't agree with me on this subject, you don't have to comment, but if you do, please use kind words, and please do not try to start arguments. I want this blog to be kid-friendly and safe, and I really don't want to read negative stuff.
Soooooo, here we go.

You might of heard this by now, but it seems that the new character, Juno, on Animal Jam, is non-binary. Animal Jam has been using they/them pronouns, instead of identifying Juno as male or female. I haven't been happy with some of the things Animal Jam has introduced in the past, but this makes me absolutely furious! Little kids also play this game, not just teenagers (even if it was a game just for teenagers, I would still be mad), and that's absolutely disgusting if a so called "kid-friendly" game would be the first to introduce kids to LGBTQ+.
God made male and female, and there's absolutely no way around that. But this world has this twisted idea that people can just be whatever they "feel". This is not right. Genesis 1:27 (NIV) says,
-
So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
-
It says it clearly in scripture. No way around it.
A cross-reference to that is in Jesus's own words in Matthew 19:4 (NIV),
-
“Haven’t you read,” he replied, “that at the beginning the Creator ‘made them male and female,’
-
Romans 1:24-27 (NIV) says,
-
-
It also says clearly that these feelings aren't natural. People might think it is, but it's not. God says that when God is in our life, we are a temple of the Holy Spirit. Becoming non-binary, gay, transgender, or whatever, is not honoring the temple of the Holy Spirit.
In my opinion, Juno is just completely against what scripture says. There is absolutely no way around it. You don't even have to be a Christian to know that this isn't right. Sarah put this comment by someone on, I believe, Instagram, in her blog post.
Even in a bigger picture of all this, what are parents going to think of Juno? Especially parents that know this is wrong. What if a young child, maybe 4-6 is playing, and they don't want their child to know about this yet? I think Animal Jam is making the biggest mistake they ever have. Normally I wouldn't say something so harshly, but I'm serious about this. This is horrifying, disgusting, and completely wrong.

God made you. Uniquely. Beautifully. Intentionally. Purposefully. Wonderfully.
God made male and female.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

I completely agree with you, lost, and Sarah. It's crazy people think like this sometimes, but we should do what Sarah said in her post which is accept the person and hate the sin. It also says in the Bible to hate what is wrong and love what is good and to love your enemies. Or you can put it the way of Jesus and the sinners. There is a story in the Bible that was a parable that Jesus told. It was the parable of the lost sheep. Umm here's the gist of it XD I don't know it word for word:
ReplyDeleteThe tax collectors and sinners where gathering around Jesus. The pharisees said, " this man sits with the sinners and eats with them." Jesus then said," suppose one of you has 100 sheep and looses one of them. Wouldn't you leave the 99 in the open country and go after the one. Then when you find it you will joyfully put it on your shoulders and tell the neighbors,' rejoice with me for I have found my lost sheep.'"
That's as close as I can get it. It's a good story from the Bible. I have one more thing to say. :takes deep breath: udufuejcoxgzhvydgxjdivydvigjzjdohjxh
Gasp.... thank you thank you! Well anyways I totally agree with you. This is terrible and kids really should not be exposed to this. Welp, that's all folks! Why does that sound faintly familiar... oh well!
