“I Identify as…” -2

'  In part 1, I sought to prove that the phrase “I identify as…” at its’ foundation is blasphemy…it is idolatry! Why? From the perspective of God--Who is the only Sovereign(1Tim6:15)--there is only ONE way to identify humanity: man is created in God’s Image and Likeness(Gen1:26-28).
 To the contrary however, there are two primary ways liberals apply their self-invented statement “I identify as…”:
           1.Race
           2.sex
   Allow me to begin with ‘Race’ and conclude with ‘Sex’ in a following tidbit. The emphasis in America on race as the identifying factor of humans is horrendous! It’s an abomination! From God’s perspective, it’s idolatry—because it substitutes man’s view(Jer2:13; Col2:8) for God’s Sovereign purposes! Therefore, to identify by race is not a White or Black issue, but a sin issue.
  When we look at: “I identify as…” using the ‘supposed’ colors of white, black, red, brown, and yellow that have become the norm in our world, I find it truly amazing how humanity could ever have agreed with this foolishness! Yet, this simply confirms the power that sin has on the human heart: “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?” -Jer17:9
 Now…let’s examine the phrase: “I identify as…” using skin color. First, let’s simply identify how God created skin biologically.
-Biologically, human skin is the largest organ in the body.
-Biologically, God created man with skin tone, not skin color!!!
-Biologically, what is known as 'skin color' is primarily controlled by Melanin, which is a chemical in the genes that actually gives humans their skin ‘TONE’.
-Biologically, Melanin literally manifests in skin as dark and light…or, literally as differing shades of brown—NOT: white, black, red, or yellow!!
-Socially or Culturally—NOT biologically--man invented* skin colors white, black, red, and yellow.

          I know it may be shocking to your system — but I repeat—what we have called the 5 'skin colors', in reality, are differing shades of the 'tone' of brown! As Chlorophyll makes plants green, so…Melanin manifests in the human skin as brown. Therefore, the supposed skin colors of white, black, red, and yellow are a ‘Social Construct’, i.e. an invention of humans! See my footnotes on ‘race’ from Newsweek and National Geographic magazines*, which both confirm my contention that race is a ‘Social Construct’. 
  Moving forward, allow me to offer just one biological piece of evidence on skin to illustrate why humans should not use skin color to either self-identify, or to identify others.
  One incredible reason God created human skin is to protect humans from the sun. The sun’s rays can literally kill humans without Melanin. For example, the pathology of albinism is a genetic mistake that hinders the production of Melanin in humans and tragically presents huge obstacles for many millions of people all over the world.
  How do these biological facts relate to “I identify as” using skin color? First, God created mankind in His image and likeness. Therefore, to identify by anything else, or as anything else,  replaces God as the only Sovereign---substituting self for God! Remember, the Bible says, “the foolishness of God is wiser than men”(1Cor1:25), therefore the idea of ‘self-identification’ challenges the omniscience of God, the wisdom of God, and the love of God—exalting human reason above the sovereign God!
  Second, allow me to show you the absolute futility of self-identifying by race, i.e.skin color…instead of God’s image and likeness! Biologically, the body has many organs: the liver, the stomach, the kidneys, the spleen, the lungs, the intestines, the skin, etc. Although the skin is the largest of the body’s organs, every organ plays an important role in the health and well-being of the human body. What’s more, the skin is more important than the skin color because although every human has skin, not every person has the same skin color(tone)! Yet, even people with less Melanin, i.e.humans with lighter skin, are protected from the sun’s rays, just like those humans with more Melanin!
  Therefore, to identify by your skin color: “I’m black and I’m proud!” in reality, is to identify by a body organ! In other words, why choose skin color to identify yourself? Why not identify by another of the body’s organs, considering all organs are equally important! For example, “I’m a liver and I’m proud!”
 I pray that you get a big laugh at the sheer stupidity, ignorance, and foolishness of identifying by anything other than the image and likeness of God!!!!
