For whatever sorry reason that Supreme Court nominee had, to avoid addressing the obvious, she unwittingly acknowledged the truth that defining a woman is a fact of biology.
IT’S NOT THE FIRST TIME . . .

Or is it ?
General review of history, 6000 years :
+A man and a woman make a marriage and have children to make a family.
+Culture recognizes the importance of marriage and family.
+Government protects families, and so protects society.
+Everyone and every civilization knows there are Men and Women—Male and Female—obvious from birth.
+Any culture that messes with these basics hits the trash heap of history.
–bad in Noah’s day—flooded out
–bad in Sodom’s day—nuked to nothing
–bad in Rome’s day—rotted by ‘bread and circuses’—overrun by Vandals
–bad in Nazi Germany—killing for superior race—blown to bits
So, is the crazy world today, with evil exploding everywhere, anything unique ?
The evil is not unique, not the first time.
But the pace is unprecedented.
The push seems possessed, to force evil on every square inch of society, and the world, fast.
The Bible predicts, declares the fact, that “In the last days evil will get worse and worse.”
It will be “like the days of Noah . . . wickedness was very great.”
We have no idea what it was really like then, but it was bad enough for God to wipe it out.
So, since the same God is in charge, He will lower the boom again, just not with another flood.

Not the first time ?
No comfort in that ! ! !

This is our time.
Like it or not—we will live it.

“Therefore, since everything will be destroyed, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness.”

I have shared here a sampling of what the Bible tells us about God, and what it tells us about the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
During the 1500 years of recording the Bible—and the 4000 years of history that it records—there is an increasing revelation of God, at His discretion.
We are blessed with the complete revelation of God in the Bible, at His discretion.
I have just scratched the surface of the wealth, the gold mine, of what God chose to tell us about Himself.
I place all, ALL, of my emphasis for studying and learning about God on this verse, and others like it :
“You—search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness about Me.”—–Jesus, in John 5

Now, I would like the reader to stop.
Look up the Bible verses printed here, and let them lead you to the countless others about God. Discover what God says about Himself—including Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.—be inspired, and satisfied !
The Bible tells us enough about God, without additions or explanations from anyone.
History, church history is loaded with additions and explanations—from educated and respected theologians—elevated to Biblical status, and maintained for hundreds and thousands of years.
God revealed Himself through history, and He recorded in the Bible what He wanted us to know.
Man is not satisfied that God told us enough, so he adds, and adds—just like the religious leaders of Jesus’ day had added to God’s Word of the Old Testament—with His harshest rebuke.
God is not subject to evolution, just like His creation is not !
Man added trinity.
Man added indulgences.
Man added rituals promising ‘right with God.’
Man added last rites.
Man added blanket forgiveness.
Man added church hierarchy, with power.
Man added status for money.
Man added special qualifications proving special relationships with God.
Man added substitutes for personal Bible study.
Man added volume as substitute for power.
Man added “Did God really say” this is sin?
The above list is not limited to the Catholic church or certain denominations.
