Liberal Protestant churches proclaim 'holiness' of transgenderism, rebuke Catholic bishops

As a slight correction to the headline, I don't see "transgenderism" or any other "ism" being labelled as holy in the statement. I see people being labelled as being holy, sacred, and in the image of God.

I do not quite see what the Christian Post is claiming, they do appear to be saying that the human beings are beloved of God, and maybe I missed it, but I did not see a clear rebuke of the Catholic Hospitals in the article either. It read to me more like just an invitation to certain people, to let people know that there are faith based communities which will be welcoming. Most of the one's that I can see listed would not count as Christian, and if the two that I saw - Episcopalian and Prebytarian, wished to sign the statement that is their choice.

The Roman Catholic Church and it's medical facilities should be permitted to conduct their services in accordance with their own moral values. If they were being rebuked for deciding to do so, I would be worried, because everyone likes freedom of conscience, and to make a medical proffessional cause death, or conduct treatments which they personally believe are cruel, would be horrifying.

Editing to add the UCC as Christians - I missed that one.

Sometimes false prophets spoke to the people of Israel. False teachers will also sneak in and speak harmful lies to you. But these teachers don't really belong to the Master who paid a great price for them, and they will quickly destroy themselves.
2 Peter 2:1

This is part of the problem. That in a postmodernist culture where everything is rationalised into reality by feelings and subjective experiences that we can no longer declare the truths of the bible. Even objective sciences are being reimagined as just another naarrative rather than objective fact.

We seen this transformation happen in the last generation and even more recently. It was only 20 odd years ago that sex was a biological fact that we all agreed and gender was linked to sex but there was also a gender identity which was a seperate thing and socially constructed based on the biological reality.

Then we seen the change that came along with a bunch of other reimaginings that sex was a social construction and gender the reality.

Just because we are Christians doesn't mean we can defy Gods biological reality. This is a modern day ideological belief and there is no basis. A man cannot become a women nor a women a man.

The problem is that some with good intentions interpret Christianity as totally detached from Gods creation reality. Love becomes love and all accepting and there is no room for sin, judgement and punishment because its confrontational and exclusive and perceieved as hurting people.

But its not. It is true love that we tell the truth to save souls even if that may seem uncomfortable. Christ church stands independent and different to the world. It is a light in the darkness of the world.

If the church is the same as the world then where is that light on the hill. The church is bowing to the world rather than standing seperate and different to the world. Or being pleasing and conforming to the world. Pleasing humans an not God.
