FAQ: Should Christians shun transgenders?

FAQ: Absolutely not!

Transgendering isn't specifically addressed in the Bible, viz: it's a gray area,
and as such ought to be approached in accord with the 14th chapter of
Romans which says, in so many words, that we are not permitted to engage
Christian transgenders with debating nor abuse them with judgmental
criticism.

Transgendering is a rough road to travel due to embarrassing therapy
regimens; and side effects, complications, negative public opinion, doubts,
regrets, disappointment, and mood swings that many would rather not talk
about. So be especially careful with your dialogue so as not to push them to
the point where you'll be forcing them to maintain their poise with fibs.

A little empathy, and a whole lot of tact and courtesy, can be very useful in
helping someone get thru the day, ergo: don't become a hell for
transgenders, instead, become a haven because people really ought to feel
safe with Christians instead of wary.

Matt 7:12 . . So in everything: do to others what you would have them do
to you.

My take is to not consider Romans 14, but rather Romans 1.

You are teaching doctrines of devils my brother ..
You are very correct when you say the brother is teaching doctrines of devils. Romans 1 and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah tells me everything that I need to know.

It is my firm personal conviction that transgendering is a gray area for
Christians. Whether it really is a gray area for Christians makes no difference
as the principles outlined in the 14th of Romans allow an individual's
conscience to dictate their decisions in matters relative to faith, i.e. that
chapter permits me to be fully persuaded by my own thinking rather than by
somebody else's thinking.

So then; seeing as how I truly believe in my own mind-- and according to
the dictates of my own conscience --that transgendering is a gray area; then
the rules spelled out in the 14th of Romans forbid me to debate the issue;
and those rules also forbid me to condemn my opponents with judgmental
remarks.

So if a man becomes a trans woman and marries a man, would that make them homosexuals, since their both biological men? And that is against the scriptures.

Probably no entertainer understood a child's need for acceptance better than
Mr. Rogers.

Herein are the lyrics to one of his songs-- addressed to every kid watching
his show regardless of age, race, and/or gender. It's sort of self explanatory;
so I offer no comments to go with it.

I like you as you are.
Exactly and precisely,
I think you turned out nicely;
And I like you as you are.
The problem with transitioning is that the person DOESN'T accept themselves "as they are." Maybe that's your point and I'm just missing it.

My generation grew up being told to "be yourself" but the younger generations were told "you can be anything you want to be." The parents were talking about vocation - doctor, lawyer, astronaut, president. Apparently some of those kids took it as "opposite gender, pony, alien."

I hear gynecologists are being sued for not seeing Trans men and I also heard some kids are suing the schools for not having a litter box because the child identifies themselves as a cat.

I was fired from my last job for refusing to call a dude in a dress, a woman.

This is exactly what happens when good people do nothing. The American people have allowed this nonsense to get out of control, creating low hanging fruit like @Webers_Home, that unfortunately adopt the evil narratives that our Marxist government pushes.

I don't blame people like Webers_Home because he doesn't know any better; he's spiritually blind. I pray that he comes into the light and that Christ will illuminate his soul and show him the Truth on this issue.

Marxism is the epitome of evil and it's the enemy of Christianity.

The Bible teaches that men are to be men, and women are to be women, and don't dress like the other. I'm a man. I'm not supposed to try to make myself look like a woman, not by clothes, not by surgeries, not by anything.

Jesus said God's intent is for a man to marry a woman, period. No other combinations allowed. And the idea that a genetic male can actually be female, or vice versa, is a lie being told to many people.

Someone who has already had the surgeries? Just like someone who lost their legs in a drunken accident. They have suffered loss from sin. It's not for me to condemn that, there is already One who does that. It's on me to love them, to show Christ to them, but not to agree to their lie.

Much love!

Transgenders are in gross sin. they are denying how god made thm. when they have sex it is homosexual sex.

We should never fellowship with transgenders. Fellowship is reserved for believers with believers. We should shun transgenders who call themselves a believer if after thewy have been shown they are in sin they refuse to repent.

However, for those in teh word and are unbelievers, we should show them the love of Jesus, we can be acquaintances with them, but for the purpose of showing them the love of Jesus.

I like you as you are.
Exactly and precisely,
I think you turned out nicely;
And I like you as you are.

I like you as you are.
Without a doubt or question,
Or even a suggestion;
Cause I like you as you are.

I like your disposition,
Your facial composition,
And with your kind permission,
I’ll shout it to a star.

I like you as you are.
I wouldn’t want to change you,
Or even rearrange you;
Not by far.

I like you.
I L-I-K-E Y-O-U
I like you, yes I do.
I like you, Y-O-U,
I like you: like you as you are.


Lyrics like this affirms sinful behavior as being OK

People like Mr Rogers are tools of the devil.

Still waiting on your reply for what kind of entity Jesus is.

As you deny He is absolute divinity, what kind of entity is He?
This is my website and the paper on faith would do you good also since you seem to think there's such a thing as taking it by faith...

Jesus said God's intent is for a man to marry a woman, period.

That is exactly a 100% Truth.

Gen 1, says that we are to "replenish the Species"... We are to marry and make babies, as that is how you "replenish".

"be fruitful and MULTIPLY">.. ..

So, GAY SEX ACTS, between Homosexuals, can't produce, naturally, a BABY, so, that is WHY their sexuality is obviously UNNATURAL.

The #1 Reason that God created sex, was so that a male and a female could create more Humans. "multiply, replenish"....be fruitful"..

GAY SEX, "homosexuality", cannot do this, because Homosexual sex, is unnatural, as it cannot reproduce or multiply the species.

How about just telling me instead of me having to root around your website. If I have th etime I will later vbut just say what kind of entity you believe Jesus is, if He is not absolute divinity.

Transgendering isn't specifically addressed in the Bible,
Actually it is in the law of Moses. Men should not be feminine in dress code and ethics. Deuteronomy 22:5. The context has a deeper meaning than just clothes. Just like women can wear trousers, and other sorts of men attire. So i do not believe it is just talking about dress code but the state of mind. That being said i respect and love transgenders but i think its not a good idea to be trans.
