On Tuesday, Facebook suspended Robert A.J. Gagnon, a prominent Christian scholar on the topic of Bible sexuality, for 24 hours. His crime? Speaking out against transgender ideology and President Joe Biden’s new transgender military policy. Facebook claimed that Gagnon’s criticism of this government-imposed ideology violated the platform’s “Community Standards on violence and incitement.” . . .

“There was absolutely no incitement to violence on our part. We abhor violence done to any person,” Gagnon told PJ Media on Tuesday. “This is just a thinly veiled and pathetic excuse for censorship of any critical views toward trans-tyranny over our consciences, religion, and reason.”

“Only one point of view is being allowed,” he added, ominously. “Trump was not the great danger to the Republic. Left-wing canceling is.”

Gagnon, who holds a Ph.D. in Pauline theology and sexuality from Princeton Theological Seminary, has published The Bible and Homosexual Practice: Texts and Hermeneutics. . . .

In the post Facebook flagged, Gagnon had defended Higgins’ response to Biden’s pro-transgender military policy.

Gagnon got suspended for this post:

My friend Laurie Higgins has been suspended for 7 days, for making an accurate and witty satirical post, by left-wing FB overlords who seek to squash all dissent on the issue of transgenderism, no doubt emboldened by the Biden/Harris administration. There’s nothing inaccurate about this post.

  1. Biden’s lifting of Trump’s transgender military ban will indeed put women military personnel in the awful position of having to shower with biological males.
  2. Trans-promoters aren’t content with having men invade the domain of women’s sports and shelters.
  3. “Transgender” ideology is indeed a pseudo-science, compelling people to reject basic biological facts.
  4. Promoters of “transgenderism” do indeed exhibit traits of a religious cult in their mind-numbing, science-denying conformity. The censoring and suspending of Laurie HIggins rather proves the point, doesn’t it?

Gagnon sent PJ Media a photo of Facebook’s notice, warning that his post violated the site’s “Community Standards on violence and incitement.”

. . . Facebook did not respond to PJ Media’s request for comment. . . .

Robert P. George, McCormick professor of jurisprudence and director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University, took to Facebook to condemn the platform’s attack on Gagnon.

“Censorship on Facebook and some other social media has now gone way beyond the bounds of the reasonable, and is grossly violating representations about free speech made by CEOs and other officers of the major platforms,” George wrote. He described Gagnon’s suspension as “an egregious case.”

“We need robust free speech in what functions today as the public square. We need dialogue and debate. People need to be able to criticize and forcefully challenge ideas–including ideas that are dominant in elite sectors of the future and among people in the tech industry,” George argued. “What we do NOT need is the silencing of dissent. That is never a good idea. Once it starts and becomes normalized … things do not end well.”

“If anyone from FB is reading this comment, please, I beg you, reconsider the path down which you are going. . . .

Miriam Ben-Shalom, the first lesbian to be reinstated to the U.S. Army after getting kicked out for her sexuality, has openly opposed the pro-transgender policy Biden instituted. Lt. Gen. Tom Spoehr, a Heritage Foundation scholar, also opposed the policy, claiming “it would be immoral to place individuals at higher risk from mental injury — such as those suffering from gender dysphoria — in a situation where they are likely to experience extraordinary stress.”

Biden’s pro-transgender policies will open women’s restrooms and changing rooms to biological males, destroy fair play in women’s sports by allowing males to compete, and sends the dangerous message that an amorphous gender identity matters more than biological sex.

There is no evidence that transgender surgery improves the mental health outcomes of gender dysphoric people. Men and women who formerly identified as transgender and underwent surgery have grown to reject transgender identity and lament the damage they did to their own bodies. Yet Joe Biden has endorsed transgender identity and activism even for children under age 10. . . .

My stomach is completely sick from reading this stuff day after day. Our children are being taught this in schools. This is not backed by science, this is not normal. How can this be stopped? Dear God, we need your help to fight this evil

in my opinion, the Biden admin is exposing their evil while celebrating their “win.” but the “win” is bring evil into the light.

The USA has been given over to a reprobate mind. Those in charge of us can’t think rationally, their minds have been given over to evil, and their thoughts and actions are hurting themselves and everyone else. Is this our judgement for not standing up in 1963, 1973, 2015? Those years saw evil laws become accepted. Jesus help us.
Lord God Almighty, only You know the day, even so we say, Come quickly. Father, until that Day, give us strength, courage, wisdom, to be bold, stand firm and show others the truth. Bind the evil to silence that seeks to destroy Your creation. Send angels to attend, protect the children, and further Your kingdom. In Jesus name we pray, Amen

The church is marching on
The church is marching on
The gates of hell shall not prevail
The church is marching on…

Father, no matter how much they try, they cannot and will not silence Your truth. Even creation itself declares Your truth. Even if they block all platforms, the animals will speak, the stones will speak, the birds will cry, the waves will wail, Your truth and Yours alone. For everything is Yours and created for Your glory. Arise O Lord and show Yourself mighty for Your children. Let the light of Your truth permeate every darkness. Be glorified in Jesus name, Amen.

have recently become aware of the vision and prophecy of George Washington of 1777 valley Forge, when he was praying for guidance regarding the Revolutionary War. An angel showed him three wars. The Revolutionary War, the Civil War and the FINAL BATTLE…in the final battle RED armies would arise from 3 different parts of the world and cause havoc and suffering in AMerica. But the people would prevail in prayer and a Miraculous intervention would save America. IT would make sense to me that Isreal of Armeggedon in REvelations and America are connected. Keep praying and persevering. The Father of Faith, Abraham, did not see the Lord’s promises fulfilled immediately. I think the REd Armies just conquered us through this election. Keep praying.

We must all revere the Word of God, we must all follow His Word. God’s ban is a frightful one, I pray these “bastions” of our culture will fall. The greater they are, the harder they fall.

“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the Lord,
“Who execute a plan, but not Mine,
And make an alliance, but not of My Spirit,
In order to add sin to sin…”

“Woe to her who is rebellious and defiled,
The tyrannical city!
She heeded no voice,
She accepted no instruction.
She did not trust in the Lord,
She did not draw near to her God.
Her princes within her are roaring lions,
Her judges are wolves at evening;
They leave nothing for the morning…
Her prophets are reckless, treacherous men;
Her priests have profaned the sanctuary.
They have done violence to the law.”

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you shut off the kingdom of heaven from people; for you do not enter in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. “Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.”

Isaiah 30
Zephaniah 3

This is clearly the silencing of voices that disagree with Big tech ideologies. May this have exactly the opposite impact the enemy of God wishes it to have. Instead, May God give us courage to speak what is right in love. Let the quashing of our rights fire Godly passion in us to speak more boldly for Christ.

Never in all of my 52 years did I ever think I’d see the day when things like homosexuality and transgenderism were considered “politically correct!” It’s gotten to the point where if you say “It’s okay to be straight,” or “It’s okay to identify with the gender you were born into,” the Left calls you a bigot! Seriously, when did this become a crime? When I was growing up in the 80’s, I was aware that there were gay people and people who identified as transgender, (back then, they were called “transsexuals, not “transgenders.”) but in those days, they weren’t so in-your-face about their way of life. I’m tired of the way those of us who are not LGBTQ are made out to be the bigots nowadays! Enough is enough!

“It is for freedom, that Christ has set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subjected again to the yoke of slavery” Galatians 5:1
Lord I pray that you will draw us, your children, more and more into your word. Fill our hearts and minds with truth. Let your word pour forth out of our mouths. Free those who are caught up in the deceiving lies of homosexuality. Let them hear words of truth and love from your children. Turn our nation back onto a path that honors you. Emboldened us with the sword of the spirit, and may the enemy fall. Amen

The men are also being exploited.
People think they are making their own choices.
They are deceived! Satan has captured them. Bondage all the way around.
It is the truth that sets us free!!

Not so long ago, FB was a decent social media platform. Not anymore. Like so many people who tend to think they know what is best for everyone else, the controlling CEO and his team of minions actually believe they no longer have to abide by the Constitution or the laws of the land. In retrospect, they simply don’t care about anyone. Money and power are their gods.
I pray that less people will use FB and any of it’s associated platforms each week. I pray that they will continue to hemorrhage financially. And let’s be real – we don’t need FB or Twitter. Think about it. We really can get along fine without them.

    Exactly right! Facebook has become more and more intolerant of both conservatism and Christianity. Same goes for Twitter. I’m not a member of either one of these social media websites. People have tried to get me to join, but I have no interest in it, whatsoever. I’m such a staunch conservative and devout Christian, that any words I use make this obvious to whoever reads it. No Facebook or Twitter for me! Not interested!

    Please cut them out of your life. They are keeping us in slavery to the evil that lurks in every word they print. Our children need to stop listening to the theory’s of these unknown unproven entities. We need to lift up our voices in the goodness of our lords word. Standing firm on his promises. Giving us hope and bringing us joy. Please get off Twitter and fb. Come back to sanity in the scriptures.

I can’t imagine where all of this is going, except against the Bible and Christian beliefs. talk about messing up peoples lives. And how sad that children are being able to decide their life long genders?? They can’t vote or drink but can randomly change their sexuality. Something is wrong. But in the end times right is wrong and wrong is right. Pray for our nation and its leaders.

More men become transgender then women (only 5 out of a hundred are women becoming men). I read that there are 1.4 million transgenders less than 1% of our population. The first day our President was in office he had a prayer service where a transgender women Paula Stone Williams pastor of Left Hand Church in Longmont Col. read a scripture Isaiah 58:6-12. Another place in the service a transgender women Barbara Salin director of The National LGBTQ Task Force in Minneapolis prayed. Our President also wants to put a transgender Pediatrician Dr, Rachel Levine to be assistant Secretary of Health. This all happened his first day. Our country now gives money globally for women to take babies out of their womb the very thing transgender women cannot have. I am the man with a womb. I was born to recreate Satan can only do demon possession he cannot recreate like a women. Satan comes after the womb. He says take your baby out of your womb. He tells men take your penis and make it into an unusable womb. Transgender women can never put seed into a womb again. And women who become transgender can never put seed into a womb and their womb is gone. We are the bride, the church waiting for our groomsman JESUS. Abortion, homosexual marriage, transgender operations Satan is mixing this principle up and wants to silence reason.

    Yes, I understood this as a child, satan hates God’s creation. He hates us, he wants to drag as many of us to hell as he can. He is a defeated foe. We need to obey God, resist evil, and say—be gone in the name of Jesus, and evil must flee! God does not leave His children here powerless, the blood of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit lift us and give us hope.

I continue in prayer for hearts and minds and souls of the lost and the persecutors to know Jesus. I remember this verse:
Jude :9
“But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said,
“The Lord rebuke you.”
