So serious, that those who do so will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God, for it is an act of rebellion against God.

This strikes me as misinformation. We are all sinners. Adultery is as much a sin as homosexuality, or theft, or bearing false witness.

Homosexual activity does not damn a person for all eternity, any more than other sins do.

We all need forgiveness and salvation.

It’s because those poor kids are living in the Kafkaesque nightmare the Boomers created for them.

Gender wasn’t a fluid construct and it isn’t now, and boomers didn’t have one damn thing to do wth that.

Don’t misunderstand me, I applaud your attempt to preach the Gospel to those who are most in need of it.

But you may as well be speaking Latin— a dead language. The generation you’re addressing hasn’t read the Bible, wasn’t inculcated with the traditional, common sense moral values & expectations to which you refer, and they have no remembrance, no clue what you’re even talking about.
When we reference familiar (to us) Biblical teachings, they shut us out, dismissing us as madmen spouting superstitious nonsense.
And it’s because of what they’ve been taught, and the culture of death in which they’ve been raised.
They’ve been been taught that the Bible is the basis of fascism, and that therefore, CHOOSING total ignorance of the Bible equates with a rejection of fascism, and magically leads to a higher moral purity and “social justice.”

We must learn to speak to them in their own language, to dismantle their erroneous notions, and — we must be sly about it!— show that Marx & Mao are the false prophets who have lied to them, promising heaven on earth & delivering only misery— and then help them find their own way— to a desire to open the Bible for themselves, and learn.
In this way I believe the kids can be led to understand, that the yearnings of their own hearts can be satisfied only by living The Way of Jesus Christ.
