BYU's Genderless Jesus and the Gingerbread Person 

This is a conversation that happened after a priesthood meeting a few months ago when I was bold enough to stand up for the truths taught in the Family Proclamation. I literally was not even able to get through the door into the foyer when another brother hostilely confronted me with these questions. D: So you think there are only two genders? Me: Yes D, there are only two genders, but mankind has an infinite capacity in how they choose to express their sexuality. D: What about gays, do they have a choice? Me: Yes, we all have a choice. I can refer you to multiple stories online where people with same sex attraction chose to be married to someone of the opposite sex and live wonderful, happy lives as parents and grandparents. D: But are they being authentic? Me: they are choosing to keep appetites desires and passions within the bounds the Lord has set. D: Well, I know where you stand - he walks away with purposely demonstrated disgust and agitation. Me: Absolutely shocked that this just happened at priesthood meeting realizing that we’d better confront this with truth and determination. The truth is that mankind can express their sexuality in infinite ways-even with dolls, siblings, animals, and little children of both sexes. God gave us commandments on sex/gender and if we do not keep those commandments and enshrine them vigorously in our social construct, our society will decend into horrific degeneracy and destruction.

The way you phrased this perfectly encapsulates the entire movement we are witnessing: “Instead of God making us in His image, male and female…it’s us making God into our image and into our ideology.” Well said. And it reminds me of 2 Nephi 9:28: “…O the vainness, and the frailties, and the foolishness of men! When they are learned they thinketh they are wise…”

In just 5 words “God Will NOT Be Mocked”

"Forever learning but never coming to a knowledge of the truth."

Can you imagine any greater achievement for the adversary than destroying families and “removing” Jesus Christ as the SON of God? And to have the very people who are supposed to be teaching our young adults truth teaching, teaching just the opposite! The best defense has to be built at home.

Philosophies of man, mingled with scripture.

I love how you said instead of god making us in our image, that we’re making him into our image and into our ideology. That is perfect way of wording it

"Yes, we think we are secure here in the chambers of these everlasting hills, where we can close the doors of the canyons against mobs and persecutors, the wicked and the vile , who have always beset us with violence and robbery, but I want to say to you that the time is coming when we will be mixed up in these now peaceful valleys to that extent , that it will be difficult to tell the face of a saint from the face of an enemy against the people of God. Then is the time to look out for the great sieve, for there will be a great sifting time, and many will fall. For I say unto you that there is a test, a test...a TEST coming. The difficulties will be of such a character that the man or woman who does not possess a personal knowledge or witness will fall. If you have not got this testimony, you must live right and call upon the Lord and cease not until you obtain it. Remember these sayings : The time will come when no man or woman will be able to endure on borrowed light. Each will have to be guided by the light within themselves. If you do not have the knowledge that Jesus is the Christ, how can you stand?" -J Golden Kimball , Conference Report October 1930

With BYU being a private church school, isn’t it beholden to the direction of the prophet and apostles ? I don’t understand why there isn’t a complete audit of curriculum and personal interviews with these professors who are obviously deceived and perpetuating deception upon our youth. To think that the church of the devil is teaching its theology on the campus of BYU is inconceivable to me. This needs to nipped in the bud right now. BYU has been a huge blessing for our youth and where much is given, much is required.

The family proclamation has never been more important for the church membership to embrace. We can’t dance around this topic. It’s at us now and we need to realize it’s impact to the family. Thanks for your efforts in bringing this out in the forefront.

I had two ladies come up to my door (in SL county) last Sunday and give a missionary into. They referred to themselves as “students” of the “Mother Goddess”. They asked if I believe in Heavenly Mother. I said yes, and then they started in with “Well, the prophecies show that she will shortly return to Earth.” And that’s when I said, “Oh this is not what I believe. Good day.” And I closed the door. You could feel the presence of Satan there with them. It was nothing short of what Jeremiah described when he told Israel to stop worshipping Ashteroth, the Queen of Heaven. They are trying to get members of the Church into their blasphemous, Satanic cult.

Thank you for your comments... I raised five boys and one of my sons has three girls, Trust me boys and girls are different. Anyone who has raised them knows this.

"Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” Gender is not adopted by an individual. It is part of our eternal identity and purpose. To me, we've already been given the answers on this subject from present day prophets and apostles, and from the scriptures. These professors muddying up the waters with the philosophies of men is only going to cause spiritual confusion. It will send our young people on an exhausting search for happiness in places where they'll never find it.

My institute teacher in Laramie, WY taught the class that there is a big difference between gender and sex. Then proceeded to say how we get to choose our gender in the next life. There are some woke folk destroying the church from within.

This is where the importance of being spiritually grounded is coming in. I am enrolled in Marriage and Family studies at BYUI. I recently read through the "code of Ethics" for Family Life Educators. This comes from a national certification. One of the first considerations stated "social justice". I sent an email to ask how they define this. I just want to know without following along blindly. Haven't heard back. One other thing. We are often told (online students) that the instructors do Not make up the curriculum. So that means it comes from department heads and other educators. I remember going through the lesson you described. But it was presented as something that is going on out in the world and not something we (the church) teach. Much like learning about different cultures to have a better understanding and appreciation for the people around us or that we'll be dealing with. This can be worrisome if we don't heed the prophets. I love being a woman - though being single often forces me into doing masculine responsibilities. But that doesn't define me. God defines me.

"Toward the end of his life, Foucault put his sexuality first. His politics followed from his sexuality. Foucault made a Faustian bargain with Wall Street and the San Francisco techies. Since homosexuality and sexual liberality required wealth, urbanization, and technologization, Foucault abandoned the vestiges of his tepid anti-capitalism and embraced capitalism whole-heartedly. The true revolution was never going to be proletarian. It was going to be sexual. When we look at the Left today we see this reality. The Left has all but abandoned traditional working-class economic politics. It has immersed itself in sexual politics and sexual liberality instead."

I have three nieces and nephews now that have been bullied because they did not declare their sexuality as “bi”. It has become the popular thing in schools currently.

I've seen more damage and confusion among young girls that go to BYU than any other post high school group. Its pretty telling that we as parents were relived when they chose another path.

BYU is always sending me opportunities to contribute because I am an alumni of BYU. I wouldn’t give them one red cent at this point I thought it was bad back in the 80s with some of the ridiculousness that they would pull. Now we are a light on the hill for Babylon.

It is so scarry that there is no safe space for our children except hopefully our home. We have to actively teach our children how to recognize these deceptions. This is what president Nelson ment when he said in the coming days We will not be able to survive without the constant companionship/ influence of the Holy Ghost. It is sad that even at BYU there are wolfs among the sheep.

This is scary stuff!! 🙏🙏🙏praying for my grand children and great grand children!!! There is truth!! My house is a house of order!!! My granddaughter is having a gender reveal . we are suppose to wear pink or blue depending on what we think the baby will be..... Thank you for speaking truth!! Them how can Jesus be the SON of God??

It's hard to believe that this is the same institution that produced "Strengthening the Family: An In-depth Look at the Proclamation on the Family." This book had sections defend traditional marriage and a section warning about individualism.

I read this scripture this morning and immediately the blaphsemy taught in this class came to mind. "And the world, because of their iniquity, shall judge him to be a thing of naught; wherefore they scourge him, and he suffereth it; and they smite him, and he suffereth it. Yea, they spit upon him, and he suffereth it, because of his loving kindness and his long-suffering towards the children of men." 1 Nephi 19:9

Time for our own version of the Babylon Bee to ridicule the faculty into oblivion. Yes, mocking the ridiculous needs to be one of our tools.

Here’s a thought I’ve had recently: There is something intriguing and eternal about the procreative organs of men and women. A man is meant to give the most sacred part of his body and self while the woman is meant to receive the man in her most sacred “garden of life”. This giving and receiving can obviously be applied to both men and women in other ways (spiritually, emotionally, etc) but I find it significant that that’s the way God primarily designed us: Men as “Givers” and Women as “Receivers”.

Why isn’t the president of BYU doing something about these teachings?

It was Boyd K Packer who said the mind is like a stage and any character - literally anything - can come on to the stage of your mind. That’s anybody and everybody. Your thoughts precede your acts. You are what you think, You cannot be what you refuse to think about. It’s a choice. If you refuse to decide you’ve still made a choice.

Moses 7:35. "Behold, I am God. Man of Holiness is my name; Man of Counsel is my name"

That whole Son of God thing thrown out the window?! This woman is crazy! Thanks for bringing this to our attention, CES leaders need to keep cleaning the staff at BYU. Thankfully, they have been starting to fire some

Wasn't this proclamation TRULY prophetic?! Like you said... when this was written back in 1995, no one was confused or questioned why the church defined sex/gender this way nor what it meant... So the fact that they included that information/definition of these things in a time when this wasn't even in question, is Confirmation of GOD'S hand still blessing us with tools to safely see us through the coming times. (How amazing. How loving!) 😊💕

I took this class when I attended over 30 years ago. Loved the class. Back then it was self and family evaluation and how you are responsible to make you and your family better, not how to change others or blame them for your situation. Wow, hard to take in how far society have fallen.

The president of BYU is so inept at his job, how he still has that position is baffling.

Welcome to the last days. Please review the schedule of events and work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Make no mistake, this is a RELIGION that is being taught. Our young adults are being taught the doctrine of the great and abominable church in our church funded universities. THIS is part of what president Nelson was referring to when he said, "In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost" and when he instructed us in the last GC, "I plead with you now-to take charge of your own testimony of Jesus Christ and His gospel. Work for it. Nurture it so that it will grow. Feed it truth. Don’t pollute it with false philosophies of unbelieving men and women." It's not just knocking at our doors. This evil has infiltrated our places of worship (yes, our wards and stakes) our schools, and our homes. When truth is not taught, the Spirit leaves and a vacuum is created, and it WILL be filled with the philosophies of men. It's time to board the ark and stay within a vessel that will seal out these pernicious doctrines of Satan and get us safely through the storm. Stay on the good ship, Zion! The Lord's Doctrines and eternal truths are found in the scriptures, both ancient and modern day. But, specific instructions for our day can be found in the words of living prophets. Every other doctrine and philosophy will be found lacking in the end... which I pray is so very near!

What I want to know is how these professors get hired at BYU. How can they be allowed to teach things that are clearly against the gospel and the things our prophet is saying? I'm just really confused by that and would actually really like to know why they are not being dismissed. And is there anything we can do about it?

Gender is an essential characteristic of individual identity and PURPOSE! Not only do they want to reconstruct identities but they also want to redefine and destroy PURPOSE!

Have always been told many in the church will be lead astray and that God will clean out his own house first…. Well, it’s happening right before our eyes but many eyes are closed or diverted for sure. Great videos, thanks.

I occasionally teach Latin as an adjunct professor of Humanities at another one of the CES colleges. A few months ago, I was at BYU for a conference and I thought I would go visit one of my former Latin professors who still teaches there. I wanted to tell him that I was teaching Latin, in part, thanks to him. Sadly, he wasn't in his office that day and as I walked away from his office door I noted that the professor in the office next door had a rainbow triangle beside the door advertising that his or her door was a 'gay safe space.' I don't know exactly what that meant but I was angered that such a thing had infected the Classics faculty at BYU. Usually, when I make a donation to BYU, I stipulate that the money should go to Classics. However, having seen such evidence of "wokeness" in that department I will not be making a donation to it this year. Eheu!

Greg, I respect you and your approach.

I have 2 nephews and 1 niece that has had mental health issues and TA DA now they are bi-sexual and transgender all the sudden these past couple years!!!

I once had an experience where my sexual drive erupted during a hug with a close female friend! I immediately shut that feeling down because I knew it was wrong!!! Young people should be taught to suppress those feelings and never ever embrace them or indulge in them!!!

Thank You for educating us on this Topic.

Greg thank you for ENLIGHTENING US.🙏

Thank you for the work you do.

I know you get a numerous comments so I don't even know if you will actually read this but I wanted to share a few thoughts that I have been having lately about the state of the church. The one comment that has stayed with me from President Nelson I think from last April was his warning that In coming days it will be impossible to survive spiritually without the constant, guiding and sustaining influence of the Holy Ghost." That may not be the axact quite but it is close enough. That has weighed heavily on my heart since he said it. It has caused me to ask myself if I am prepared myself to survive. How can I stay true to my testimony of the church and keep my heart focused on the Savior when lately they seem to be at odds with each other. I must always come down on the side of my faith in Jesus Christ. But I don't want to believe that our prophets, seers, and revelators, could be wrong. Yet, I think they were mistaken to encourage us to accept the poke in the arm. And now I see them caving to political pressure in regards to same sex marriage. If we as a people truly believe in the Plan of Salvation we can not support this lifestyle. It is completely incompatible with the Lord's plan. And then I hear what is happening at BYU and I wonder why the brethren don't intervene. It seems that earlier prophets spoke out in very direct terms when calling out sin. Now the language coming from Salt Lake is much less poignant and softer in tone. I prefer black and white from our leaders. I don't like toleration. Let's call sin what it is and then preach repentance through Jesus Christ. I know some members of the church whom I thought would never doubt who are now leaving the church. Is it possible to sustain the prophet but question his motives? Do we put our full faith and trust in the GAs who we sustain as men of God but who are also subject to human error? How do we as a people survive spiritually in the face of these contradictory messages? It is my personal belief that our leaders are walking a razor's edge while guiding the church through these shifting values and social pressures. They have to find a way to be a part of the world and obey the law without compromising our own doctrines. Are they trying to keep the temples open? Are they trying to save the tax exemptions afforded to religious organizations? Would they be willing to close the doors of the temples if the govt tried to force same sex marriage? I have to hope that they know some things that I don't know because right now the work of surviving spiritually is hard.

Here is what I am not understanding; They will enforce the Honor Code on students, but yet allow these things into the university. Confused on that.

Do we want our children at BYU to be informed even about false trends and movements? YES. We want them aware of how the world thinks, along with societal trends and movements that are destructive. So there is value in educating students as to what is going on in the world. This fosters critical thinking, that when blended with agency and the Spirit, makes for wise decision making. However, professors cross the line with they are actually ADVOCATING incorrect principles/practices and trends while pretending to simply educate. A wolf in sheeps clothing.

These professors are asking the students to throw their common sense out the window. I was raised in a different faith. I was taught the trinity- one person, not Father, Son and Holy Ghost - they were yet they weren't. Senseless. I was chastised when I asked questions on how that could be- it didn't make sense. I found the truth in the gospel. Truth and common sense. My youngest grandson, 3, wants to play with cars, trucks and dinosaurs. That's it! His sister, 7, is into anything with sparkling unicorns! They have equal access to all the toys their aunts and uncles played with. They choose what they prefer. They both love constructing with magnet sets but she loves colorful designs and he loves building then smashing things. She is strong and athletic but still gravitates to pink, purple and of course, sparkle. Boys will be boys and girls will be girls. Common sense. These professors are confused and their students are confused because they are going against nature - they are too worried about being "current" and popular then following their common sense. They are going against nature - too afraid to speak up for truth- for different reasons.

Interesting that her second bullet-point immediately refutes her first bullet-point.

Another one: Heard that a missionary serving in Texas ran across or heard about a woman there or on a social media post there, she posted on social media that members should take youth callings 'so they could lead the youth away from the church'. That was seen by a stake leader in another state where the missionary was originally from, in an email the missionary sent to the stake leader. The woman was a church member.

I have a family member who is taking family life. She told me that on one of the text books it says that same sex couples raise children that are well adjusted more than same sex couples. She couldn't believe the school would recommend such a text book that said such a thing if they were aware of it. My kids charter school also has that motto "we don't teach you what to think but how to think". What is the "how" they want to teach?

Why is this allowed to be taught at BYU?

Jesus is the manliest man in existence! He is the High Priest ideal man. Androgynous Jesus is false teaching

Great message. I appreciate your breakdown. Hard to believe we are having such misunderstanding inside The Church of Jesus Chris of LDS. At BYU!? Proclamation to the World was so timely. Yes, we need to teach our children and stand for truth.

That last slide of what she claims to be “masculine” and “feminine” characteristics is either purposely deceptive or not very well thought out.

Is part of my tithing really going towards paying this professor's salary?

So.... Is anyone working to get this person fired... bringing this before school leaders, the President of the College etc.? Clearly BYU needs a PURGE of these Wolves in sheeps clothing who are corrupting our children.

I just want to say that you're amazing and I wish there were more men like you.... I hear you, feel you, and I'm in agreement with you. I live in New York City, can you imagine, trying to get out of here soon, then again, it's everywhere.

An unfortunate tactic of Marxism. Confuse meaning. Degrade heroes. Essentially turn things upside down. When I was at BYU (87-93) I was appalled at the liberalism of the political science department. I didn't expect conservative bias, but did expect conservative leaning instruction, especially regarding the constitution.

This demonstrates why the progressive radical movements focus on changing the language. By turning language from a standard to a flexible meaning, it allows the radicals te reframe all existing knowledge in a way they choose.

Remember the good old days when "gender" was commonly used for either learning a new Indo-European language, or discussing a person's sex in polite company? "Sex" was reserved as an adjective for histological and zoological conversations, or for moments of indelicate talk about coitus. Now the term "gender" has been appropriated as a linguistic trick for deceiving the entire world as to sex differences.

I don't understand, for example, what part does the department head play in this process? It seems pretty easy to review this outline and point out where it is departing VERY FAR from gospel principles. And the teacher either makes corrections or terminaton for cause.

WHY is BYU putting up with LIES??? Who’s hiring these insane professors??😮😮😮

Do people wonder why in D&C it says, 112: 24 Behold, vengeance cometh speedily upon the inhabitants of the earth, a day of wrath, a day of burning, a day of desolation, of weeping, of mourning, and of lamentation; and as a whirlwind it shall come upon all the face of the earth, saith the Lord. 25 And upon my house shall it begin, and from my house shall it go forth, saith the Lord;

It's telling that she has the pictures of Elder Cook and President Oaks mixed up next to their quotes.

In the late 70s my hubby was at byu and the professor wanted to debate abortion? He stood up and most of the class with him addressed the professor and left. It's always been scary. And so the war continues!

How does this professor still have a job at BYU!? BYU is a Church School and is supposed to teach Church principles!! This professor could go teach HER IDEAS at any other University, but this is appalling to me to think that these man-made ideas are being taught at BYU!! God and Jesus are both Male and they have been from the beginning. This is not the same BYU that I attended!! Heartbreaking!! 💔🙏

My mother in law told me before WW2 pink was for boys and blue for girls. Also our spirits are male and female so I have hard time with these concepts.

I fought constructivism in the math that had permeated the ASD when I was first elected to the Board in 2007. I had some small successes. The problem with this was that the teachers were so enamored with the program yet the results were horrific. Still are. I find it amazing that the constructivism has permeated our lives to this extent, this quickly. It's such a hideous side of education if not kept in check.

"Behold my Beloved SON...hear ye HIM."

You missed the entire Backfire Effect and fell right into what she was saying. Lol.

I wish people would wake up and realize that Satan is using these narratives and argument to try to accuse and mock God.

If anyone wants to read a book that soundly debunks the idea that gender is a social construct, they should read the newest edition of "Male, Female" by David Geary. It was published by the American Psychological Association last year.

BYU and the Radical Stakes/Wards need to learn the old adage. Get Woke, Go Broke.

Greg -- please tell me that you're sending this to admin or better yet, to the First Presidency. Or maybe the person who sent it YOU did that already? I almost feel like appealing to admin is pointless. I feel like the First Presidency and Quorum of the 12 themselves need to see this directly. Heck-- I'll do it myself if necessary. How does one even DO that? She says at the beginning that she's not telling them what to think-- but that's EXACTLY what she's doing.

If Jehova doesn't destroy this mess, He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology.

I have been and always will be a female. I am a child of heavenly parents. My mom just let us play. My sister and I grew up as tomboy's. We loved to play sports and hang with our brothers. My best friend in elementary school was a boy. I used to go to his house to play. I liked dolls but also loved being outside playing. Children need to be allowed to explore their world and find things they love.

The church has been following the world politically for several years. We have been encouraged to take a vaccine that has some major question marks. Along with all this other craziness. Why have our church leaders not addressed these concerns to many members who are confused. We need some accountability

Jesus' preferred pronouns are (he/him). The scriptures are clear on this!

This is really a great thought-provoking podcast. I would suggest that there is a cause to the effect that we are seeing with the current social trend that extends back in time. I would suggest that it is not a recent organic agenda; rather an ancient thread of the ancient mystery religions of the past. that has been the underpinning of societies of which most are unaware. In the ancient pagan and gnostic Christian religions of yesteryear, there was the concept of the "sacred marriage." This all had to do with the bride representing the incarnate self or eidolon and the Osiris-Dionysus representing the disincarnate Self or Daemon. The sacred marriage ritually united these two opposing parts of initiate which was performed in a bridal chamber and performed in a mystic rite accompanied by certain words used to the initiated and they allege that it is a spiritual marriage of the "characteristics" of the divine masculine and the divine feminine and not the "gender" of the two as you so adeptly point out. At the end of the day this has to do with the lower-level man becoming the higher-level man. In the words of the Gnostic Gospel of Philip the true Gnostic is, "no longer a Christian, but a Christ." In other words, man learning that he is a fragment of God and then seeing himself as part of the whole or a god himself. So, I am suggesting that this social engineering that we are witnessing has religious underpinnings that go back thousands of years and have syllogistic chains of reasoning that tie back the minds of men and women to the contained mythos that is more symbolic than literal, yet manifests as a purdy confusion with regards to what you term natural law, if I am understanding your application of that term. Let me finish with a quote from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas in which Jesus teaches his disciple, "When you make the two one, and when you make the outside like the inside, and the above like the below, and when you make the male and the female one and the same, so that the male be not male nor the female female then will you enter the kingdom." I hope this lends something to your discussion of value.

Spot on, thank you!

I actually think it is important for us to teach about these philosophies so that our children can spot it when people try to mingle these philosophies of men with scripture. It is a useful exercise to compare and contrast worldly philosophies with the doctrines of the gospel. For example, the world uses the phrase "gender/sex assigned at birth." In contrast, the gospel teaches, "Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose.” From comparing these two truth claims, we can see immediately that gender/sex is not assigned at birth, but is actually eternal; we had our gender/sex in the premortal world. We can also infer that the differences in the capabilities of the physical sexes are actually blessings that God has given us to help us accomplish our eternal purpose while in this mortal circumstance. So, maybe we could say that God assigns physical sex at birth based on our eternal gender so that we have the physical tools required to accomplish our foreordained assignments in mortality.

Thank you for warnings.

Coincidentally I was doing some family history work this evening and gleaning through some old census records. It would sure make things interesting if the census records did not list man woman or male/female (sometimes they would record "at home" for the woman, how sexist), But instead just said "person" not very helpful. I expect that soon it will be illegal to indicate male/female on census records.

Terrifying that BYU teaches this nonsense

Female students, who are a majority at every college, will mostly take this class. If I was man growing up in today's world, I'd head to a foreign country and find a clean, righteous woman and build a covenant keeping family in a suburban town away from liberals. This one thing will improve young men's odds of a happy life greatly.

My granddaughter is one of the young women who has decided to be bisexual.

One retaining common sense would think that the only way for anyone that confused (as the family sciences teacher whose materials Greg introduced) would be for the people doing the hiring to be that confused as well. How does a "teacher" like that get a job at BYU??? How does a class like that get allowed to continue at BYU??? Both the stupidity and confusion are so blatantly obvious!!

The lack of gospel contrast is disgusting and also sad to me. I was a student 25 yrs ago. For the most part my professors always brought gospel context into the lessons, which was refreshing, having transferred to BYU from a public/state college. I am concerned most about how this teacher disrespected the doctrine of our church, what about the First Article of Faith, "We believe in God the FATHER, and in his SON Jesus Christ ...." -- how can you dispute this?? I can't say I would hope that this teacher's bishop would sit down with her after the "genderless Jesus" stunt and talk about her testimony, but I know better. Friends that live in Provo, in the wards where these professors also live have told me it's complete philosophies of men, with litter to no scripture, they belittle and bully those with testimonies into silence. I wish the university administration would tighten up on stuff like this.

"Now, if ye give place, that a seed may be planted in your heart, behold, if it be a true seed, or a good seed, if ye do not cast it out by your unbelief, that ye will resist the Spirit of the Lord, behold, it will begin to swell within your breasts; and when you feel these swelling motions, ye will begin to say within yourselves-It must needs be that this is a good seed, or that the word is good, for it beginneth to enlarge my soul; yea, it beginneth to enlighten my understanding, yea, it beginneth to be delicious to me." This is how I know they're teaching false doctrine. No swelling, no goodness, no enlarging of soul or enlightenment or understanding. Not delicious at all. A rotten stinking void is all I experience with this false doctrine. Alma 32:28 Book of Mormon Scriptures

This instructor obviously does not understand or believe basic church doctrine such as Jesus is the son of God, God is his father, Mary is his mother, (New Testament, etc) and both God the Father and Jesus have a body as tangible as man's (Doctrine & Covenants).

“Developing Non-Gender Stereotyped Children”. I guess the first question I’d ask is, why? Mankind has done just fine with gender stereotyped kids for thousands of years. Why the impetus to change now? I’d say it’s must be a sign the end is near.

We have been told by Christ that the wheat and the tares would grow together until the last days when they shall be separated, the wheat shall be gathered and the tares burned. God is finally sifting us out. This is just one more sign of the times. We are coming up on the very last days. We must carefully seek to convert as many tares into wheat as we can while staying in the fold.

It is easier, I think, to reconstruct Jesus into an endogenous person if you throw away his marriage. As the statement goes, Jesus obeyed all the commandments including the one given to Adam and Eve to multiply and replenish the earth. I firmly believe he was married and even had children. Look at his love and compassion for children. For the most part, a person's love and compassion for children does not come until you have children of your own. He grew from grace to grace through his experiences, but because of his firm connection to his father and the spirit, he had no sin because he always chose the right and his father's will.

Anyone else catch the “the root word of ‘political’ is `policy’” thing on her first slide? No, mam. The root word of political is not policy. It is “polis”. She doesn’t seem to be very careful about what she claims to be true. She certainty chose to leave out the stats that go against her narrative.

I think it is extreme arrogance (as well as ignorance) that keeps us from realizing just how vast and eternal the binary of male and female is. Post Modernism and Critical theory would have us believe that having a binary is restrictive and oppressive. In reality, having a “spectrum” of gender and sex IS restrictive. Now you’ve made everyone a “Gingerbread person” and lost the eternal scope and depth of what it means to be a man or a woman.

All of what these people are teaching is openly opposed to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Anyone teaching this or associating themselves with it cannot truthfully be worthy of a temple recommend, and maybe even membership in the church.

"Therefore the Lord HIMSELF shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a SON, and shall call HIS name Immanuel." "she shall bring forth a SON, and thou shalt call his name Jesus: for he shall save his people from their sins." "she had brought forth her FIRSTBORN SON: and he called his name Jesus." I'm not seeing it. He was born, she knew he was a boy. He was condemned to death by the sanhedren for the blasphemy of claiming he was the son of God. There's no evidence there wad gender confusion in that day either. Keep in mind it's not our idea to prove these people wrong. It's their job to rationalize their position.

As an alumnus of BYU, I'm very disappointed. BYU was at one time considered the most conservative university in the nation. And my experience was that it was very much in-line with the teachings of the church. Probably the best years of my life were as a student at BYU. There were some minor things, and we often had to remind ourselves "BYU is not the church" when there were little discrepancies, but nothing noteworthy. I can understand giving the snake a podium in an academic setting if the alternate point of view is also represented. In fact, I would expect no less. But this is giving the snake a platform and presenting it as the only truth, and one that is not in-line with the principles of the church that supports it financially with tithing paid by traditional families who send their children there for a spiritually-based education. If even BYU has become corrupted, is there a God-fearing center for education left?

Here's a MASSIVE issue with the gingerbread man. Presenting it as a continuum infers that anything on that line is normal. That's likely only true with gender expression (depending on how you define it - I happen to be a pretty emotional man and some would say that makes me feminine). Biological sex is 99% at the very edges of male and female. True intersex (where there is some doubt as to which is the dominant sex) is extremely rare (I think I recently saw 16 in 10,000). And sexual orientation is the same. 7.1% now identify as LGB, but that means 92.9% don't.
