if men who pretend to be women believe that woman = feminine (i.e. that “woman” is a set of behaviors, and not a biological reality of existing as a female human body), they must believe that “feminism”, sounding so similar to “feminine”, must be all about the rights of “feminine people”, not female people, hense they feel entitled to “inclusion” within feminism (believing themselves to have adopted femininity—at least the appearance of femininity). They still believe that female people are ultimately a subset of humanity, (humanity meaning men), and not a different sort of person — subsumed into “man” as in “mankind” — like the age old belief that women are just defective males. Thus the “trans woman”, seeing himself as a failed male, a defective male, is therefore feminine, thus he is a woman. At least according to the logic of misogyny.

Scripture: And through his creative inspiration this living expression made all things, for nothing has existence apart from him!

Observations: We literally can't exist without Jesus, he fills in a hole that would otherwise be empty. All things happened because of him and nothing happened apart from him. The Aramaic is ''Everything was in his hands."

Prayer: Lord, whether or not I obey you, please remind me that I only exist because you saw it fit to have me in your life. Amen.

Scripture: They were together-face to face, in the very beginning.

Observations: Both Gen 1:1 and John 1:1-2 speak of the beginning. in Genesis it is the beginning of time, but John speaks of eternity past, a beginning before time existed. The living expression is Christ who existed eternally as part of the trinity. He had no beginning, being one with the Father.

Prayer: Lord, help me understand the parts of you that you are willing to reveal to me. Amen.

Scripture: in the very beginning the living expression was already there. And the living expression was with God, yet fully God.

Observations: The greeks equated logos with the highest principle of cosmic order. Gods logos in the old testament is his powerful self-expression in creation, revelation and redemption. In the new testament we have this new unique view of God given to us by John, which signifies the presence of God himself in the flesh. Some have translated this rich term as ''Word.'' It could also be translated ''Message'' or ''Blueprint.'' Jesus Christ is the eternal Word, the creative Word, and the word made visible. He is the divine self-expression of all that God is, contains, and reveals in incarnated flesh. Just as we express ourselves in words, God has perfectly expressed himself in Christ. The living expression {Christ} had full participation in every attribute of deity held by God the Father. The living expression existed eternally as a separate individual but essentially the same, as one in the Father.

Prayer: Lord, work on my heart so that I may let you express yourself through me. Amen.
