Actually there is no such reliable study. The studies that have taken place were all of dead people who lived in this sin for years. And yes this can account for certqain changes in the brain, but not from birth. Also we are told thhat no temptation has taken us but that which is common to man and God will not alllow us to be tempted abopve whhat we can handle. So anyone who falls to becoming a transexual has chosen to do this. it is rebellion. It can be forgiven as any sin IF they repent and come to faith. That would require to turn from this sin.
The fact that a person seeks sin at an early age is no argument. It actually shows the truth of God's word in that we are alll sinners. There is none riighteous no not one. Not even a child!
And no the body did not need correcting. The mind does however. That comes with repentance and faith at salvation.
Yes it is clear, but there are those who reject the word of God for their own sins. The bible says this;
2Ti 3:7Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth
You say that scripture is not clear. How so? In 1 Corinthians 6 the translators did not use the term homosexual. Instaed they used the term "effeminate" which comes from the greek word "
malakos
and it means;
1) soft, soft to the touch
2) metaph. in a bad sense
a) effeminate
1) of a catamite
2) of a boy kept for homosexual relations with a man
3) of a male who submits his body to unnatural lewdness
4) of a male prostitute
Also they translated the Greek word
arsenokoitēs as "abusers of themselves with mankind." The Greek word
"arsenokoitēs" actually means; one who lies with a male as with a female, sodomite, homosexual.
So you see the bible is clear. Those who are ingaged in any of these things are not saved according to scripture. They will not inherit the kingdom of God. They can repent and become part of God's family, but not untill they do will that happen. I will pray that you find the truth and are set free. God bless.
Thank you
The thing is there is quite substantial evidence that they are. many studies show the differences between transexual and non-transexual brains. The study in post #157 of this thread

While I realize personal testimony is entirely subjective, I myself can remember from as early as age four wanting to be the opposite gender because it was just how I felt.
I have simply given in to the way I was born, a female brain (and soul for that matter) in a male body. The body needed correction for me to be myself.
The thing is, it isn't clear. As if it was there wouldn't be a debate on this thread about it amongst Christians.
I fail to see how this verse applies to transexuality (or homosexuality for that matter).
