Sodomite Force now extends special privileges to gender confused

Air Force now extends special exemptions from uniform and fitness requirements to gender confused

U.S. airmen changing genders can now seek temporary exemptions from gender-specific physical fitness tests, uniform requirements and bathrooms, according to a new policy.

The Air Force detailed the changes in a guidance, "Air Force Policy Memorandum for In-Service Transition for Airmen Identifying as Transgender," released Oct. 6 by Air Force Secretary Deborah Lee James and Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein.

"This is another step in allowing transgender Airmen to serve openly, receive medical care relating to gender transition and allow transgender individuals to join the Air Force," James said in the release. "Our strengths as a military are the quality and character of our people, and those things that make us unique are the same things that make us strong."

While the rules -- which are already in effect -- deal with accessing and retaining transgender airmen, they also specify the circumstances in which recruits would be disqualified from serving, such as those diagnosed with gender dysphoria who haven't been medically cleared as stable for at least 18 months.

PT Test
Transgender airmen undergoing cross-sex hormone treatment may request an exemption from taking the physical fitness assessment, or PT test, "during their period of transition, prior to a gender marker change in the MilPDS," according to the memo.

However, airmen must first provide evidence of a documented PT failure, with their commander authenticating how the airman made a full and clear effort to meet the PT standards of their current gender.

The inputs will make their way through the appropriate chain of command, and the Service Central Coordination Cell at Air Force headquarters -- the assisting body providing input on medical and legal transgender issues to service leaders -- before Air Force headquarters makes a decision.

In addition, airmen must maintain a healthy lifestyle; participate in unit PT, if applicable; and work with their commander to meet Air Force standards.

Uniforms
Transgender airmen may submit an Exception to Policy, or ETP, to adhere to their preferred gender's dress and appearance standards prior to their official gender marker change in MilPDS.

"Until an ETP request has been approved, transgender Airmen must adhere to their current gender's dress and appearance standards as reflected in MilPDS," the memo states.

"The request will require supporting justification, an assessment by their immediate commander, and further recommendations by their chain of command" before being approved by Air Force headquarters, it states.

Housing
Airmen should meet the service's standards for appearance and, unless exempted, use lodging appropriate for their pre-transition gender, according to the guidance.

Transgender airmen will use military lodging, bathrooms and shower facilities associated with their gender marker in MilPDS and/or the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System.

If airmen have requested an ETP, they will use the facilities associated with their gender marker in MilPDS/DEERS until an ETP is approved or their gender is updated in MilPDS/DEERS.

After their transition is marked complete in the Military Personnel Data System, members can use the facilities and clothing appropriate for their new gender. Under the policy, certain specifications for transgender airmen are subject to commander approval, or higher.

Deployment
A military medical provider (or approved civilian equivalent) in coordination with a Medical Multidisciplinary Team -- a variant of health care professionals with specialized skills and expertise -- will determine when a transgender airman's gender transition is complete.

The airman will then need to present legal documentation, such as a U.S. passport or court order, to show his or her preferred gender transition is complete.

The airman may still undergo additional hormone therapy even after the transition has been marked complete, the guidance said.

As long as they are medically qualified, transgender airmen can deploy.

Disqualification
Earlier this year, the Air Force stipulated that a transgendered airman may not be involuntarily separated, discharged or denied re-enlistment or continuation of service solely on the basis of his or her gender identity.

A ban on openly serving transgender troops was lifted by Defense Department officials in June, and the services will allow transgender individuals to join the armed forces no later than July 1, 2017, assuming they meet accession standards.

The Air Force policy states potential airmen are disqualified from joining the service if they have gender dysphoria or are undergoing medical treatment associated with gender transition and/or sex reassignment or genital reconstruction surgery, unless a licensed medical provider can certify the airman is stable and can function in a military setting, or a period of 18 months has elapsed since the date of the most recent surgery or since they have been stable in their preferred gender.

Is remarriage after divorce always adultery?

Question: "Is remarriage after divorce always adultery?"

Answer: Before we even begin to answer this question, let us reiterate, "God hates divorce" (Malachi 2:16). The pain, confusion, and frustration most people experience after a divorce are surely part of the reason that God hates divorce. Even more difficult, biblically, than the question of divorce, is the question of remarriage. The vast majority of people who divorce either remarry or consider getting remarried. What does the Bible say about this?

Matthew 19:9 says, "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery." See also Matthew 5:32. These Scriptures clearly state that remarriage after a divorce is adultery, except in the instance of "marital unfaithfulness." In regards to this "exception clause" and its implications, please read the following articles:

What does the Bible say about divorce and remarriage?
I am divorced. Can I remarry?

It is our view that there are certain instances in which divorce and remarriage are permitted without the remarriage being considered adultery. These instances would include unrepentant adultery and abandonment of a believing spouse by an unbelieving spouse. We are not saying that a person under such circumstances should remarry. The Bible definitely encourages remaining single or reconciliation over remarriage (1 Corinthians 7:11). At the same time, it is our view that God offers His mercy and grace to the innocent party in a divorce and allows that person to remarry.

A person who gets a divorce for a reason other than the reasons listed above, and then gets remarried has committed adultery (Luke 16:18). The question then becomes, is this remarriage an "act" of adultery, or a "state" of adultery. The present tense of the Greek in Matthew 5:32; 19:9; and Luke 16:18 can indicate a continuous state of adultery. At the same time, the present tense in Greek does not always indicate continuous action. Sometimes it simply means that something occurred (Aoristic, Punctiliar, or Gnomic present). For example, the word "divorces" in Matthew 5:32 is present tense, but divorcing is not a continual action. It is our view that remarriage, no matter the circumstances, is not a continual state of adultery. Only the act of getting remarried itself is adultery.

In the Old Testament Law, the punishment for adultery was death (Leviticus 20:10). At the same time, Deuteronomy 24:1-4 mentions remarriage after a divorce, does not call it adultery, and does not demand the death penalty for the remarried spouse. The Bible explicitly says that God hates divorce (Malachi 2:16), but nowhere explicitly states that God hates remarriage. The Bible nowhere commands a remarried couple to divorce. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 does not describe the remarriage as invalid. Ending a remarriage through divorce would be just as sinful as ending a first marriage through divorce. Both would include the breaking of vows before God, between the couple, and in front of witnesses.

No matter the circumstances, once a couple is remarried, they should strive to live out their married lives in fidelity, in a God-honoring way, with Christ at the center of their marriage. A marriage is a marriage. God does not view the new marriage as invalid or adulterous. A remarried couple should devote themselves to God, and to each other – and honor Him by making their new marriage a lasting and Christ-centered one (Ephesians 5:22-33).

We shalll have world government

On February 17, 1950, James Paul Warburg confidently declared to the United States Senate:

“We shall have World Government, whether or not we like it. The only question is whether World Government will be achieved by conquest or consent.”

“Christianity does not exist because of the Bible. It is the other way around. The reason there is the Bible is because of Christianity. And this is one of the concepts that so many people outside our network of churches have a hard time understanding.”

Sermon “The Bible Told Me So”

“It is next to impossible to defend the entire Bible.”  Andy Stanley

“Because you’re above average intelligence if you attend one our churches, okay? You get this.”  Andy Stanley

“Christianity does not rise and fall on the integrity or the verifiability of the entire Bible.”  Andy Stanley

Charles Stanley compromised on the authority and preservation of scripture and his son Andy has taken it to the next level.

Yet another example of the next generation falling away.  Preachers and teachers that grew up learning doctrine from the King James Bible, compromised and began casting doubt concerning God's preservation of scripture and introducing doubting new age corrupted "bibles".

A History of the Glass Wine Bottle

Excerpts from
A History of the Glass Wine Bottle
SEPTEMBER 26, 2013 BY ROBYN
http://www.wallafaces.com/a-history-of-the-glass-wine-bottle/

The first true glass was produced around 3,000 BC in Northern Syria.

In South Asia, glasswork was used beginning around 1730 BC.

The ancient Romans were particularly well-known for their glasswork, which was used both domestically and industrially. They developed the technique of glassblowing, which was used to make wine bottles. It’s no surprise, then, that the term “glass” was first used by the Romans.

The delicate glass of yore wasn’t a good method for storing wine. Because it was too fragile to travel, wine was usually stored in clay pots called amphorae. However, glass was still used on occasion- people would pour their wine into hand-blown glass bottles for fancy events. When glass bottles did need to be shipped, they were wrapped in straw. This protected them and allowed them to be stored upright.

In the 17th century, the invention of the coal-burning furnace changed that. The hotter temperatures allowed for thicker, darker glass that had previously been impossible to produce. Add in the invention of a cork closure and you have yourself a decent way of transporting wine!

Bottles were still completely un-standardized, meaning that they came in all shapes and sizes. The colors also varied wildly. Instead of standard wine labels, bottles were usually only marked with a stamp from the bottle maker.

By the 1730s, people began to recognize the importance of different winemakers, grape varieties, and vineyards. People also began to age their wine. They were stored just as we store bottles today! They were laid on their side to avoid spoilage and to allow the drinkers to watch for sediment. As a result, the fat, round bottles fell out of favor, paving the way for the long, sleek bottles we use today. However, bottles were still not standard. They were a “lungful” of the glassblower’s air- usually between 700 and 800ml. Thus, in some places, such as England, it remained illegal to sell wine by the bottle; they were sold by the barrel and then poured into non-standard bottles. (This remained the law in England until 1860!)
