The article uses the world "evolution" but there is no evolution here.
The common term is "transhuman" but there is no reason to think anyone will stop being human.
The Church cares about your soul and there is no reason to think people are not going to have souls.
The writer seems to be looking for a fight for some reason.
Tower of Babel all over again.
I would think that as we push these boundaries we’d do well to keep faith in our hearts lest we completely lose ourselves and our humanity. Especially on the author is speaking towards “transgender” over than “transhuman”, given that the mental state of transgendered individuals cries out as a tormented soul moreso than anything else. The technology is just a means to augment said torment and make it irreversible.
Goodness, even a simple pair of eye glasses is augmentation.
All that is happening with 'transhumanism' is simply making it more 'high technology.'
I just don't see what the problem would be. As some other FReeper said, it's about the soul.
The issue is sin and how does a Christian relate to it. Sin is defined in 1 John 3:4 as “transgression of the Law”, meaning God’s Law as expressed mainly in the Ten Commandments. People who continue to commit sin, such as those who advocate socialism or homosexuality cannot be granted the free (but conditional) gift of eternal life that Jesus offers in John 3:16. It doesn’t matter if you have a chip implanted in your brain or not.
(and when God resurrects a person to immortal life, the chip gets left behind anyway)
The left has no right to claim they have any ability to understand science when they can’t even tell the difference between boys and girls.
