Transgender Bathrooms

I am a little confused of why this is the great issue. I don't think someone who is biologically a Male should use a female lockerrroom or changing room. But this is where I am very confused, and have been for a long time. Why when you go to a clothing store they have separate locations for men and women changing rooms, in addition they have separate stalls for each individual person, yet when you go to a locker room (where you are most likely removing all your clothing and showering) they have communal rooms (and sometimes communal showers).

Whether you are attracted to women or attracted to men, it does not matter do I need to change in front of you? Whether you claim to be a man or a woman, do I need to change in front of you? Or in either case do I have to allow you to change in front of me? I don't care whether you support Transgender, Homosexuality, or even Pedaphilia, do we really need to have men and women Locker rooms?

Why do we have these labels in the first place? I understand that there have been long histories going back to the Roman Bath houses. But no matter who you are, you are sexual object. You are also enticed by flesh of others. And sometimes the most perverse illustration of this is as follows:

If a 40 year old man goes into the men's locker room and removes all his clothing and then wraps himself in a towel in order to enter into a common showering area. Where he removes the towel and washes himself. We have little problem with this, even when that same locker room has boys ranging from ages 5 to 18. Yet, a different 40 year old man under the influence of some kind of drug, decides to remove part of his clothing in order to relieve himself hiding behind a tree, and a boy (between the ages 5 to 18) watches him. The second 40 year old is labeled a sex-offender the rest of his life, while the first may repeat this activity everyday for the rest of his life.

You take the public school situation. You have students that are going through puberty at different stages. You also have the junior high team, junior varsity team, and the Varsity team changing clothes and showering together. I don't know about you, but I see a place of harassment and potential abuse even among ages 12 to 18 year old boys. (I am not even going to mention the idea of Coaches.)

Why don't we have individual shower stalls, individual changing stalls, and individual bathroom stalls (whether just a stool or urinal)? In which you are not allowed outside of these stalls unless proper clothed. You can always grab your clothing from your locker, go to the appropriate stall, and remove your clothing in privacy. If this were the case, you would only need separate locker rooms for separate teams. Thank you.

Set Theory on the Trinity

Many Theologians are not Mathematicians. But Theologies are really into Science. For some reason there is a greater cross over between Theology and Science than any other fields unless you Separate Math and Physic into different fields. But Set Theory at its basic is the idea of taking sets of numbers or things and showing relationships. We see this in Matrices or Venn-Diagrams. Now Theologians generally speaking would use a Venn-Diagram to describe the Trinity. A Theologian would usually talk about three circles one being the Father and another being the Holy Spirit and the Other being the Son. Thus, where these circles connect that is then called God. But this means that there is part of the Son which is not God. Part of the Holy Spirit which is not God. And part of the Father which is not God. This is not true. Rather you take a list of Sets. Take Set God which contains all the attributes of God. Then you take a Set called Holy Spirit it would contain all the attributes of God and y...

Biblical Marriage

Marriage is defined in Genesis as a man clinging to his wife and the two becoming one flesh. This definition is standardized even in the New Testament by both Jesus and St Paul. Therefore, we have generally said Marriage is defined as one Man and one Woman being joined together in a life long union. Most people think that this Marriage union is created through a man dressed in black and woman dressed in white walking down an aisle to be joined together before some kind of altar. But this is only a ceremony of marriage. The Bride and bridegroom are actually joined together through what is known as consummation, or proper sexual relations.  Thus, St Paul can even talk in reference to a marriage bed. This concept may be overlooked by a culture that no longer views the bed as the place where a majority of sexual activity takes place. But he states this because the marriage bed is the location in which a man and woman are joined together. Just as it was Rachael or Leah's tent in which t...

Human Reason is Faulty

The Confessors of the Augsburg Confession recognize another important lesson of which many easily lose sight. "They condemn the Pelagians and others who deny that the original fault is sin and who, in order to diminish the glory of Christ's merits and benefits, argue that human beings can be justified before God by their own powers of reason." Others may say by any use of their mental faculties or even their own decision. When you deny originl fault effects your reason or mental faculties you deny original fault or sin. If human beings claim any power for their own Justification they deny original sin or Fault. But our Human Reason is completely Corrupt. Therefore, St Paul can say mean's wisdom is foolishness to God. Therefore, Anyone who thinks they can make a decision for Christ is wrong. In other words their Reason is faulty. Human Reason leads to wild heretical thoughts whie God reveals the turth. Humans can rightly ask who can say what is right? But God s...
