Recently the Carolina Panthers hired the National Football League’s first openly transgender cheerleader, Justine Lindsay.
Lindsay broke the news to her teammates and community, and then made it official in a post on Instagram.
Cats Out the Bag you are looking at the newest member of the Carolina Panthers TopCats Cheerleader’s @topcats as the first Transgender female.
According to an exclusive post from Buzzfeed News, “I was so scared. There’s just some things you can’t post,” Lindsay told Buzzfeed after making the post.
I just felt like when I posted it, whatever reaction I get from everyone, it does not matter. And then my phone started blowing up.
Apparently Lindsay’s best friend did not even know that Lindsay identified as transgender.
My goal is to create a team of individuals that are absolute fire on the field but are incredible human beings in the locker room, good friends, good people, and at the end of the day, you have to walk through the door first to get to that spot.
Chandalae Lanouette, director for the Panthers’ cheerleading squad, noting it was the talent not the gender identification that Lindsay the spot.
Buzzfeed wrote, ‘While NFL cheerleading squads have recently started to allow men on the rosters, there’s been little progression for the women. Most squads still gravitate toward an “all-American” look (read: white, thin, European standards of beauty), where the women are expected to perform like athletes but look like pinup models.’
Lindsay, expectedly, has been facing some pushback, and according to the New York Post, responded again on social media, stating:
Understand that we are all [God’s] children, that he is an awesome God from sun up to sun down. I live through him. Negative hate stay away.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[11] Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. [12] Though a sinner do evil an hundred times, and his days be prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, which fear before him: [13] But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.Ecclesiastes 8:11-13
Yeah, and the “awesome God” is gonna show you something really ‘spectacular’ in due season…
The National Woke League keeps dropping the ball each year. Last year around this time they were running ads that said “football is gay,” and also mandated that all teams hire a female coach just for the sake of their being a female coach that will literally do nothing but keep the benches warm.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Ok, fine.
Matthew 15:14 (KJV) Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.
Bye! Have fun in the ditch!
I agree, Anthony.
I get so pestered by that “don’t be so negative” song and dance-that’s the babbling of a lukewarm false christian and also a Christ rejecting heathen all the same.
Your positive thinking and the little bubble you live in can only last for so long; soon the “negative” stuff is gonna say “wake up and smell the coffee!”
he is not a she, he will always be a he! he can have his tally whacker chopped off and get fake boobs, however he can never change his chromosomes, end of story!
God created male and female, God created he them!
‘Negative hate stay away’ …..this is their god of forces that those of the craft think they’re controlling as the Lord chooses their delusions and bridle steering them.
–
Da 11:37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
Da 11:38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
Da 11:39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.
–
Isaiah 66:4 I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears upon them; because when I called, none did answer; when I spake, they did not hear: but they did evil before mine eyes, and chose that in which I delighted not.
–
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (my note: and the Romans 1:32 ‘allies’, as well….remember Lot’s wife…and Jezebel’s affinity with the castrated priests of Baal)

Isaiah 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

Isaiah 30 is such a powerful chapter, equating to the book of the prophet Amos scripturally.
–
More on the bridle….nine verses = fruit :
–
2Ki 19:28 Because thy rage against me and thy tumult is come up into mine ears, therefore I will put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Job 30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Job 41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?
Ps 32:9 Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.
Ps 39:1 To the chief Musician, even to Jeduthun, A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
Pr 26:3 A whip for the horse, a bridle for the ass, and a rod for the fool’s back.
Isa 30:28 And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.
Isa 37:29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Jas 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
It’s like the garment, the covering a soul chooses…..and remember that it was God himself who provided the right & sufficient covering prophetically foretelling the death & blood of the Lamb, in Genesis 3 to replace Adam & Eve’s pathetic & insufficient self-made covering of woven fig leaves, which in turn relates also to this:
–
Genesis 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved.
–
(My note: the perversions HATE this ‘covering’ doctrine from way back in Genesis, proving that it was understood by both Abraham & the Gentile world early on, and so they change it …I will put text from Will Kinney below with the ‘preferred’ changes for insight on how these perverts & sorcerers play & craft it, bringing judgment. Caveat: Kinney is hard core, 8 point Augustinian Calvinist for all his good work….. He’s WAAAAAAY off in how he interprets ‘seed of the woman’ and ‘seed of the serpent, for example in Calvinistic elect understanding….probably why they still suffer his site to stay up for the hard swing right & Romish coming. The plain facts he presents with regard to texts & the preserved words of God still stand though. )

1Co 11:2-16 KJB/AV Now I praise you, brethren, that ye remember me in all things, and keep the ordinances, as I delivered them to you.
1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
1Co 11:5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
1Co 11:6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
1Co 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.
1Co 11:9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
1Co 11:10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
1Co 11:11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
1Co 11:12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
1Co 11:13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
1Co 11:14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
1Co 11:15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
1Co 11:16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.

Woman is a type of the body of Christ, taken by God out of the greater body of mankind. She can either be the virtuous woman of God, or the strange woman by conscientious choice receiving or rejecting the word of God & Romans 1 natural order.

Genesis 20:16 KJB – “And unto Sarah he said, BEHOLD, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: BEHOLD, HE IS TO THEE A COVERING OF THE EYES, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: THUS SHE WAS REPROVED.”
Genesis 20:16 presents us with another clear example of paraphrasing which misses the whole meaning of the passage and results in conflicting versions of nonsense.
Abraham had been told by God that He would give him a son by his wife Sarah. Yet again we see the faltering steps of faith in our spiritual father as he and Sarah sojourned in the land of Gerar. Upon entering the region of king Abimelech, Abraham thought “Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.”
So, he told Sarah to say that he was her brother. The result of this was that Abimelech took Sarah into his house, thus putting her into a very precarious position. Then God came to Abimelech by night in a dream and told him that Sarah was Abraham’s wife and that he was “but a dead man”.
Abimelech arose early in the morning and called Abraham and asked him why he had done this. Then the king gave Abraham sheep, oxen, men and women servants and restored him Sarah his wife and told him to dwell where he pleased.
Then in Genesis 20:16 we read: “And unto Sarah he said, BEHOLD, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: BEHOLD, HE IS TO THEE A COVERING OF THE EYES, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: THUS SHE WAS REPROVED.”
“Covering of the eyes” is the literal reading of the Hebrew and is also found in the 1917 and 1936 Jewish translations, the RV, ASV, Young’s, Darby, Douay, Geneva, Spanish Cipriano de Valera and many others as we shall soon see. Even the NKJV shows in its footnote that the literal Hebrew is “covering of the eyes”.
I believe God has blinded the modern version editors and they are not able to see the obvious meaning of this passage and that is why they have paraphrased it to mean what they think it is saying rather than what it actually says.
Abimelech is saying to Sarah that the truth is now known by all that her “brother” is in fact her husband and that Abraham will serve as a covering of other men’s eyes so that they will not look upon Sarah as a potential wife. Thus she was reproved for her part in the deception that almost cost Abimelech his life.
However the NASB, NIV, ESV, NKJV, LXX and Catholic versions all miss this point and even contradict each other.
Instead of the KJB’s “Behold, HE IS TO THEE A COVERING OF THE EYES, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: THUS SHE WAS REPROVED.”
the NKJV says: “INDEED, THIS VINDICATES YOU before all who are with you and before all others. Thus she was REPROVED.”
The NASB has: “Behold, IT IS YOUR VINDICATION before all who are with you and before all men YOU ARE CLEARED.”
The ESV has: “IT IS A SIGN OF YOUR INNOCENCE in the eyes of all who are with you, and before everyone YOU ARE VINDICATED.”
while the NIV reads: “THIS IS TO COVER THE OFFENSE AGAINST YOU before all who are with you; you are COMPLETELY VINDICATED.”
The so called Greek Septuagint (LXX) it totally different from them all and says: “Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver, THOSE SHALL BE TO THEE FOR THE PRICE OF THY COUNTENANCE, AND TO ALL WOMEN WITH THEE, AND SPEAK THE TRUTH IN ALL THINGS.” (Yeah, that’s pretty close, huh?)
And the Catholic St. Joseph New American bible 1970 reads: “See, I have given your brother a thousand shekels of silver. LET THAT SERVE AS A VINDICATION before all who are with you; YOUR HONOR HAS BEEN PRESERVED WITH EVERYONE.”
So which is it- was she reproved as the KJB, NKJV and others say or was she cleared and vindicated as the NIV/NASB/ESV have it?
And what on earth does “this vindicates you” mean? The NIV omits the word “behold” three times in verses 15, 16, adds “offence” though it did get “cover” more or less right but yet the meaning is totally different than either the NKJV, NASB (ESV) or the KJB.

Foreign Language Bibles –
Spanish Cipriano de Valera 1602 = KJB word for word – “Y a Sara dijo: He aquí he dado mil monedas de plata a tu hermano; mira que él te es por velo de ojos para todos los que están contigo, y para con todos: así fué reprendida.”
The Reina Valera Antigua 1909 (the more recent ones are messed up), and the Spanish Reina Valera Gomez bible 2010 – “mira que él te es como velo de ojos para todos los que están contigo, y para con todos; así fue reprendida.”
The French Martin Bible 1744 – “Et il dit à Sara : Voici, j’ai donné à ton frère mille pièces d’argent; voici, il t’est une couverture d’yeux envers tous ceux qui sont avec toi, et envers tous les autres; et ainsi elle fut reprise.”
The Italian Diodato 1649 – “Ed a Sara disse: Ecco, io ho donati mille sicli d’argento al tuo fratello; ecco, egli ti è coperta d’occhi appo tutti coloro che son teco. E con tutto ciò, ella fu ripresa.”
The Portuguese Almeida Corrigida 2009 – “E a Sara disse: Vês que tenho dado ao teu irmão mil moedas de prata; eis que elas te sejam por véu dos olhos para com todos os que contigo estão e até para com todos os outros; e estás advertida.”
And The Modern Greek Bible – “ιδου, αυτος ειναι εις σε σκεπη των οφθαλμων προς παντας τους μετα σου και προς παντας τους αλλους. Ουτως αυτη επεπληχθη.” = “he is to thee a covering of the eyes, to all that are with you and to all others. Thus she was reproved.”
Geneva Bible notes 1599
Genesis 20:16 And unto Sarah he said, Behold, I have given thy brother a thousand pieces of silver: behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee, and with all other: thus she was reproved. God caused this heathen king to reprove her because she concealed her identity, seeing that God had given her a husband as her veil and defence.
John Calvin is right on, saying: – “HE IS TO THEE A COVERING OF THE EYES. Moses, in this place, rather points to the husband; and this best suits the sense. For Sarah is taught that the husband to whom she is joined was as a veil, with which she ought to be covered lest she should be exposed to others…it applies more aptly to married women; because they are veiled, as by the very ordinance of marriage. I therefore thus explain the words, ‘Thou, if thou hadst no husband, wouldst be exposed to many dangers; but now, since God has appointed for thee a guardian of thy modesty, it behoves thee to conceal thyself under that veil. Why then hast thou of thine own accords thrown off this covering?’ This was a just censure; because Sarah, pretending that she was in the power of her husband, had deprived herself of the divine protection. THUS SHE WAS REPROVED. INTERPRETERS DISTORT THIS CLAUSE ALSO. The natural exposition seems to me to be, that the Lord had suffered Sarah TO BE REPROVED by a heathen king, that he might the more deeply affect her with a sense of shame. For Moses draws especial attention to the person of the speaker; because it seemed a disgrace that the mother of the faithful should be reprehended by such a master.”
Matthew Poole’s Annotations on the Bible – “He is to thee a covering of the eyes, i.e. a protection to thee from the wanton eyes and attempts of others, whilst they know thee to be the wife of another man, and he such a one whom they reverence and fear; and therefore thou didst take a very wrong course to disown him, whereby thou didst expose thyself to great danger.”
Matthew Henry and John Wesley both say the same thing -“He gives to Sarah good instruction, tells her that her husband (her brother he calls him, to upbraid her with calling him so) MUST BE TO HER FOR A COVERING OF THE EYES, THAT IS, THAT SHE MUST LOOK AT NO OTHER, NOR DESIRE TO BE LOOKED AT BY ANY OTHER. Note, Yoke-fellows must be to each other for a covering of the eyes. The marriage-covenant is a covenant with the eyes, like Job’s, ch. 31:1.”
John Gill comments: “behold, he is to thee a covering of the eyes, unto all that are with thee; a protection of her person and chastity: so an husband, in our language, is said to be a cover to his wife, and she under a cover: thus Abraham being now known to be the husband of Sarah, would for the future be a covering to her, that no one should look upon her, and desire her, and take her to be his wife.”
Now if you wish to defend the NASB, NIV, NKJV, ESV as being “reliable versions”, go right ahead, but I and thousands of other Bible believers will have no part of it.
The King James Bible is right, as always. Get used to it.

I could wear hoof shaped shoes, a fake horse tail, and a plastic unicorn horn on my head, and prance instead of walk, but it would still not make me a unicorn.
MEN will always be MEN and WOMEN will ALWAYS be WOMEN not matter how much you try to do by artificial means to change it. You’ll always be what God made you.
It doesn’t matter. Hardly anyone even bothers to watch football any longer after Kap and the woke corporate fixers in the sport bowed to them.
Football is as fake as Covid.
