[QUOTE="JoeP222w, post: 72277315, member: 382024"] From a biblical, logical and rational perspective, "transgender" is a nonsense term. God only made male or female humans. That a person could possibly "transition" from one gender to another is completely foreign to the truth of God. A person who is born a male, as determined by chromosomes and sexual organs, is a male at birth and will always be a male. Similarly true for a female. No matter how much one mutilates their sexual organs and has to make a lifetime of hormonal treatment, it will never change them into the opposite gender. Gender is not fluid. That is an utter and complete lie. Moreover, if one is pursing the lie that they can change their gender, they are in rebellion to God's creative order, and as Romans 1 says, they are exchanging the truth for a lie. So, like anyone else in sin, the Christian church should tell those who think that they can change their gender the truth that God created them male or female. And if they continue to be in rebellion to God, the wrath of God abides on them. But there is hope for those who turn from their sin and trust in Jesus Christ. He will make them a new creation, someone who no longer loves their sin and hates God, to someone who hates their sin and loves God. But if they continue in their sin, God will grant them justice for their rebellion against Him. The Christian church should always be the home for truth and grace and mercy. But the church should never tell someone who is in sin that their sin (no matter what that sin is) is ok with the holy, perfect and righteous God. It is very unloving to tell someone that they are ok if they are in rebellion to God's design. [/QUOTE]
