“What If Men Could Make Their Own Egg Cells?” Satan Continues To Normalize Insanity & Mock God’s Creation
A recent piece in the Wall Street Journal posed the question, “What If Men Could Make Their Own Egg Cells?” in an effort to normalize the perversion of God’s process of creating life.
This piece is just one in a series dedicated to Satan’s mission, which includes the topic of “chestfeeding,” a term used to describe feeding an infant milk directly from the breast by trans and non-binary parents.
According to the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), “an individual does not need to have given birth to breastfeed or chestfeed.”
And, according to the piece from The Daily Mail in July of this year, Another section in a CDC Q&A about breast surgery titled, 'Can transgender parents who have had breast surgery breastfeed or chestfeed their infants?' says families may need help with 'medication to induce lactation.'
As we said a moment ago: an effort to normalize the perversion of God’s process of creating life.
Before we jump into the article from The Wall Street Journal, let’s look at scripture for guidance on the topic.
We’ve covered the goal of those who are evil towards the family structure, women, and children extensively, but the depravity continues to be flaunted.
Flaunted to the point that… we are being told that… because men who think that they’re women & have a strange perversion involving children that… they should be able to just do whatever they want.
Read that again, slowly…
Now, think about your role as a Watchmen, as we are told in Ezekiel 33:1-6:
33 The word of the Lord came to me:
2 “Son of man, speak to your people and say to them: ‘When I bring the sword against a land, and the people of the land choose one of their men and make him their watchman,
3 and he sees the sword coming against the land and blows the trumpet to warn the people,
4 then if anyone hears the trumpet but does not heed the warning and the sword comes and takes their life, their blood will be on their own head.
5 Since they heard the sound of the trumpet but did not heed the warning, their blood will be on their own head. If they had heeded the warning, they would have saved themselves.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet to warn the people and the sword comes and takes someone’s life, that person’s life will be taken because of their sin, but I will hold the watchman accountable for their blood.’
And what the last days will look like, as we are told in 2 Timothy 3:1-5:
1 But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days.
2 People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,
3 without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,
4 treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—
5 having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
The war is real. We’ll take a look at just how real it is in a moment.

The War Rages On Against Women & Families
From The Wall Street Journal (Click Here to read the full article:)
“The Japanese biologist Katsuhiko Hayashi said earlier this year that he believes it will be possible to create a human egg from skin cells within a decade. He and his colleagues have already turned skin cells from male mice into mouse eggs and used them to breed baby mice.
Matt Krisiloff, chief executive officer of Conception Biosciences, has dozens of scientists working at a lab in Berkeley, Calif., trying to make eggs outside ovaries. Such a technique could allow women to have biological children later in life.
Krisiloff, who is gay, says the technology, known as in vitro gametogenesis or IVG, could also help male couples have biological children without anyone else’s genes. Echoing the desire that has driven so many advances in reproductive technologies, Krisiloff says, ‘I want the chance to have biological kids with my partner.’
Reproductive technology has already reshaped the way families are made. Flash-freezing techniques enable eggs to be stored for years in banks, then thawed for use. Babies have been born using a technique that incorporates DNA from three people. And in vitro fertilization, or IVF, which involves taking mature eggs from ovaries, fertilizing them in a lab and implanting the embryo in a uterus, facilitates approximately 2% of births in the U.S.
‘Getting the egg out of the female body was a revolution,’ says Vardit Ravitsky, president of the Hastings Center, a bioethics institute. IVF, introduced more than 40 years ago, severed the connection between eggs and motherhood. A mother could be the person who supplied the egg, gave birth or raised a child.
‘Socially, emotionally, legally, we changed how we think about parenthood and bonds,’ Ravitsky says.
A potentially limitless source of eggs is the next frontier.
Hard Stop. Commentary:
Look closely at the sleight of hand here by Satan.
It’s easy to say “All women should have a chance and this is the way!”
But that’s not the real agenda… this is:
Krisiloff, who is gay, says the technology, known as in vitro gametogenesis or IVG, could also help male couples have biological children without anyone else’s genes. Echoing the desire that has driven so many advances in reproductive technologies, Krisiloff says, ‘I want the chance to have biological kids with my partner.’
And, so is this:
Babies have been born using a technique that incorporates DNA from three people.
The hidden context in this article is that you’re being commanded, by man, to conform and except something that is not of God. We’re told in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 how that works out:
9 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
And, here’s what happens if you follow those commands, as we are told in Romans 1:26-27:
26. For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature.
27. And likewise also the men left the natural use of the woman, and burned in their lust one toward another, and man with man wrought filthiness, and received in themselves such recompense of their error, as was meet.
Let’s continue.
“‘People who want to test embryos to eliminate potential health risks may choose to use reproductive technology in order to conceive even if they are fertile. Once you can make thousands of eggs from a woman or man’s skin cells, you can have thousands of embryos, future parents can pick the one they like.”
If the scientists succeed in developing lab eggs, it will still require experiments to determine if the eggs are good enough or safe enough to create babies, says Katie Hasson of the Center for Genetics and Society.
‘The only way now to know if the embryo will develop the way it is supposed to develop is to make an embryo and see how it develops,’ she says.
Researchers are already interviewing people who might benefit from using lab-generated eggs or sperm, and they are starting to think through some of the dilemmas, says Anne Le Goff, a philosopher at UCLA studying the ethics of IVG. Such advances could require new ways of thinking about parenthood, she says.
‘You won’t need to know who the mother or the father is on a birth certificate,’ says Le Goff. ‘You can just put down the names of the parents.’
Technologies such as IVF have given some LGBTQ people greater reproductive autonomy, says Katherine Kraschel, an expert on fertility care and reproductive technologies and assistant professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University School of Law.
The resulting children may be genetically related to only one parent, but being born into families with two parents of the same sex has led to a paradigm shift in the way we think of parenting, she says. ‘I can see IVG drawing away from that powerful, visible example of how families are strong and loving and healthy without a genetic connection.’
Joel Michael Reynolds, an assistant professor of philosophy and disability studies at Georgetown University, says that lab eggs and easier embryo testing might lead to a world in which someone like his late brother, who was born with muscular dystrophy, cerebral palsy and other disabilities, might not exist.
‘New technologies are opportunities to reassess our values,’ Reynolds says. ‘Historically, reproductive technologies have resulted in there being less disabled people in the world. Is that what we want? Do we value diversity?’
Hard Stop. Commentary:
As we continue to read, we see the results of what happens from living in a fallen world: man is flawed, and left to his own devices will try to be God by creating the “perfect person.”
As we are told in Exodus 20:3-5:
3 “You shall have no other gods before me.
4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath or in the waters below.
5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me
And in Romans 1:21-23:
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.
22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools
23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
And in Romans 1:25:
25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
Once you start going down this road, it ends up in the pit of hell.
Let’s continue.
Moral questions involved with embryos were part of the work of the President’s Council on Bioethics, a group established in 2001 by President George W. Bush, says Gilbert Meilaender, who was a member of the council.
Lab-grown eggs will likely lead to the creation of more embryos, something he takes a dim view of given that there are already more than a million frozen embryos in storage around the U.S.
‘There is no good solution for what to do with them,’ Meilaender says.
‘Reproductive technologies can lead people to think about children ‘as a product or a project we undertake rather than a blessing bestowed on the love of the parents,’ says Meilaender, senior research professor at Valparaiso University. ‘When you train yourself to think of the child as a product, then quite naturally one of the first questions you ask is, shouldn’t we try to get the best product we can?”’
Hard Stop. Commentary:
And there it is.
God’s most precious creation, life, suddenly becomes a “product” to man.
This is why understanding scripture and the CHURCH SETTING THE TONE FOR THE CULTURE is so important.
Scripture is clear on this in Colossians 1:16:
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
Jesus was also clear in the word on the consequences of messing with children in Matthew 18:6:
6 If anyone causes one of these little ones—those who believe in me—to stumble, it would be better for them to have a large millstone hung around their neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Remember: As Watchmen, you must sound the alarm. Share this information with everyone you know, and be bold in having the conversation about a current event that’s God’s gift to us to help others come to Him.
Satan has largely unmasked himself and operates openly, as he believes that he’s deceived enough people and nothing can be done to stop him.
As he’s always done, he underestimates the power of God, and those who serve Him. As you have this conversation with people, share with them the simple and clear scripture that connects these dots. It may be the one thing that they hear that brings them to Christ.
