The Lord's Prayer, from the popular New International Version translation of the Bible, is:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
This obviously fails to meet the requirements of today's leftists and others who require the Good Book to support their causes, including transgenderism.
This video, caught by Protestia, which advocates for "the theological and worldview perspectives of conservative evangelical Christianity," reveals a new version promoting the unscientific beliefs that men can become women, or women can become men.
The words to what many are describing as a heresy:
Our mother and our father, our beloved parent in who we move and breathe and have our being. The glorious hallowing of your name shines forth in the diversity of your children. May your peace and love, justice and equality, inclusion and belonging reign here on earth as in heaven.
Build your kingdom in the hearts of all. Help us meet our daily needs. Be with those who suffer as a result of living as the fullest truth of your divine child. Grant that our transgender loved ones might have their daily needs met, That they might find employment without discrimination, That they may have access to medical care without fear, That they might have their rights and lives protected, That they might find a loving, safe community to belong to and call their own.
Forgive us for the ways that we have fallen short and failed your beloved transgender children, as well as our many trespasses. Forgive us of the times we turned away or did not care, For the times we laughed or judged their unique expression of your image, Just as we forgive those who might have failed to see, hear, and understand us.
Lead us away from the temptation to be complacent in the face of injustice But instead, give us the courage to stand up for and with your beloved children. Open our minds and our hearts to those who think, act, and experience life differently. Help us do our part to make your love and justice reign in our diverse, beautiful world, now and always.
Amen.
Online commenters objected to fabricating a new prayer:
"I honestly don't know why they have to co-opt everything just so they can affirm their own sin? If you are a true Christian, all of that stuff just doesn't matter. We all are then new creatures that must leave the former life behind. Not drag it along like an anchor."
And, "Disgraceful."
And, "Vile."
And, "Destructive words."
PJMedia explained, "You see, the thing about scripture is that it's fine all by itself. That's why there's a doctrine of the sufficiency of scripture. It's heresy to add to the timeless truths of scripture, especially to justify lifestyles of sin. Shame on these people — particularly Frumpy Baritone Grandma."
