Should We Use Preferred Pronouns?
What do you think of Christians using pronouns for themselves and others who demand we address them with their preferred pronoun? I feel like by using pronouns for myself and others; I’m conforming to the culture and, in turn, humoring those individuals that identify as they/them and other opposing pronouns that don’t line up with their biological sex. I don’t want to make them feel disrespected, but at the same time, I don’t want to conform to their false truth. I want to tell them the truth in love.
Answer
We are not called to be of the world but to be like Christ. We must submit to the understanding that we are of Christ and are to live as He did. We need to speak the truth in love while sticking to what God designed. As we learn to love in a difficult situation, we become more like Him.
