The Augusta News-Review February 11,1984 Transsexuality, abortion, women’s liberation by Bro. Richard Williams Then Adam had inter course with his wife, and she became pregnant. She bore a son and said, By the Lord’s help I have gotten a son (Genesis 4:1). From the beginning God Almighty chose to make the human race in the form of individuals of two different kin ds —male and female— ds —male and female—in order that they might meet, love, marry, and complete each other. When God viewed the creation of his hands, he said that it was good (Genesis 1:31). God has given regulations concerning sex gender: distinctive clothing for men and women (Deuteronomy 22:5);the subordination of the woman (I Corin thians 11:3-16); different functions of sexes (I Timothy 2:8-15); and love between male and female (Ephisians 5:22, 23). God talks about sexual perversion in the Biblw: adultery (Deuteronomy 22:22-29) and Matthew 19:9); prostitution (Deuteron omy 23:17); incest (Leviticus 18:6-18); homosexuality (Romans 1:26-27); and mankind with beasts Given, Greene to head UNCF campaign J.B. Given, vice president and general manager of the Insulating Products Division of the Babcock & Wilcox Com pany of Augusta, and Joseph D. Greene, senior vice president and chief agency office of the Pilgrim Health & Life In surance company, have accepted the positions of co-chairmen of the 1984 Paine College—United Negro' College Fund Campaign. As co-chairmen, Given and Greene will oversee the various aspects of the fundraising campaign, including the solicitation committees, special even ts and campaign publicity. The campaign coor dinator at Paine College is Dr. Lewis Greenstein, the College’s director of development. Paine College is one of 42 historically Black in stitutions nationwide supported by the United Negro College Fund. Paine receives nearly $200,000 each year in unrestricted funds from UNCF. Local con tributions during the an nual campaign are divided between Paine (three-fourths) and the UNCF national campaign one-fourth). UNCF funds are used for student scholarships, faculty salaries and other operating expenses. The 1984 Paine College—UNCF Cam paign will officially “kick-off in mid- March.

It involves despising the way that God made you. Some say that a woman is trapped in a man’s body. This is not a biological problem but it is a psychological problem. Dr. James H. Filfoil, a psychiatrist at a Pennsylvania hospital in Philadelphia which has performed twenty-seven sex-change operations, was asked the question, “Does the transsexual, while a man, engage in homosexual relationships with other men?” His an swer was, “These tran ssexuals are homosexual as we would define it legally, but they don’t think so. To them their interest in a man is heterosexual because they consider themselves women.” Homosexuality is condemned again and again in the Bible. Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with woman kind, it is abomination (Leviticus 18:22). For this cause God gave them up to vile af fections; for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And like also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working that which is un- fOR *U OCCASIONS Blossom House International 1816 Wrightsboro Road 738-1439 “SA Y IT WITH FLOWERS’’ BONDED MEMBER OF THE FLORIST TELEGRAPH ASSOCIATION Bush’s Flower Shops 111 W.

It i is wrong because of cross dressing. The transsexual will be advised before surgery for at least six months to two years, to dress like the opposite sex and act like the opposite sex. Effeminate persons are condemned in I Corinthians 6:9. If a per son is married, he has to divorce for an unscrip tural reason (Matthew 19:9). If a transsexual enters into a marriage, children cannot be born, thus destroying God’s concept of joining male and female together in marriage. There are various practical problems related to the subject under scrutiny that time will not allow me to explore, but the thrust of this message is the Biblical thrust. Abortion, Right or Wrong Abortion is a nasty problem, a source of social discord, moral un certainty, medical and psychiatric confusion, and personal anguish. About 10,000 therapeutic abortions are performed every year in the United States. It is estimated on top of that, about 200,000 to 1.2-million illegal abortions are per formed. Some have reduced the whole problem to the philosophical and theological question, “When does life begin?,” while many proponents of abortion demand to see the question only in terms of feminine and civil rights, giving women the full right to decide for themselves whether to terminate or complete a pregnancy. On January 22, 1973, the Supreme Vourt of the Uniyrf States ruled that the states could not forbid a woman to have an abor tion durng the first three months of pregnancy if her doctor approves the operation. What is abortion? It is the ending of a pregnancy Program planned The 125th anniversary of the Board of Trustees of Springfield Baptist Church will be observed Feb. 12, at 2:30p.m. The Rev. J.S.
