Referendum seeks to eliminate the word “mother” and reference to marriage from the Irish constitution.
In the beginning, God created male and female. As such, God saw his creation as good, so both the masculine and feminine are meant to be a blessing with a redemptive purpose.
After the Fall, human nature was corrupted, and sin entered the world. Much of what God meant for good was also twisted, and this corruption colored our perspective of what was once good. For this discussion, the human understanding of males and females has been affected, too.
The Bible is the written expression of God’s word to us, all for reconciliation back to the Father and the restoration of what God desires. While we may struggle with the idea of masculinity and easily point to toxic versions of it, God has a redemptive plan and design for manliness. The Scripture can then be a standard of calling and inspiration for men.
Here are ten ways the Bible defines true manliness.

An Idaho high school senior was reportedly banned from walking at his graduation last Saturday due to comments he made about gender during an assembly.
The parents of a seventh-grader in Massachusetts who was removed from school for wearing a T-shirt declaring “there are only two genders” is suing the school district, saying the student’s constitutional rights were violated.
One of the world’s largest Christian bodies will study the use of gender-neutral terms to refer to God when a commission takes up the issue, according to a new report.
Would the ability to have children mean that a man could actually become a woman? Setting aside for a moment the awful potential for exploitation of children involved, if science could graft the reproductive system of a female into a male body, and it could function with drugs and hormones, does that make him a woman? A mother?
It is not uncommon in mainstream opinion writing for an author to make an absurd claim and spend several paragraphs of mental gymnastics justifying it. A more accurate label for this genre would be “ideological writing.” If the facts don’t fit, twist and turn them and pretend they do.
