.....the article— the author, Mary Retta, looked at
several different “movie monsters,” and one association really stood
out.
She quoted another author, Susan Stryker, who in 1994 said this in
regard to Frankenstein’s monster:
“The transsexual body is an unnatural
body. It is the product of medical science. It is a technological
construction. It is flesh torn apart and sewn together again in a shape
other than that in which it was born.”
-----Everyone
is remade in one way or another. Either we “remake” ourselves in our
own fallen and distorted image by surgery, addiction, hedonism, false
religion, doing what is right in our own eyes (In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did that which was right in his own eyes. Judges 21:25), or some other panacea which excludes God. Or as Scripture teaches, we are remade in the image of Christ.
The development of the child in the womb is one of the wonders of the
created world, wherein genetic material from the father and mother comes
together to create a new, unique individual. Scripture rightly says
that people are “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).
By contrast, Victor Frankenstein crudely sewed together his monster,
hindered by the constraints of his abilities and tools. The resulting
abomination is rejected in disgust by his creator.....Science is also co-opted for so-called “gender affirmative care” in which
biological males receive surgery and hormones to feminize their
appearance and vice versa for women. However, there is no way to truly
turn a male into a female or a female into a male.
A man will never have
the capacity to bear and nurse offspring as a mother does, and a woman
will never father children. This sad imitation of manhood or womanhood
robs them of their God-given femininity or masculinity that should be healthy and honoring for them as image-bearers of God. In this sin-cursed
world, however, people are often confused, connived, or coerced into
believing lies about their bodies, gender, or sexuality.
Victor Frankenstein provides his monster with a horrific “new life”
pieced together from previously dead pieces of corpses and electrified
with lightning.
People have always sought their own solution to the curse of death, and
the monster could be seen as almost an “anti-resurrected” being.
Instead of the body being gloriously transformed to a state suited to
eternal life in the presence of Christ, Frankenstein’s monster has a
cursed existence between life and death." AIG
