Mark 12:31 says, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” That sounds easy enough but it gets tougher when you realize that “your neighbor” isn't just the people you go to church with–or agree with–or look like. It is in fact, everyone on earth if you think about it. That includes everyone even all the gays and trans and abc's and adulterers everyone. Even the enemy.
So what is the wisest choice of options at this point? I'm charged as a Christian to love the trans as myself if I am trying to obey the Lord, right? So do not cut the trans or gays short is what that says to me. Ok so that is the position that I endeavor to take in my heart unto the Lord. So I pondered that for a moment and a scripture came to my mind.
Proverbs 18:21
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.../KJV
So that makes it simple if I encounter a hypothetical trans that says, hey would you like to walk a mile in my shoes?! Look closely for what comes out of his mouth. Does he speak life? Does he speak trans? We will know them by thr fruit of their mouth. And if the man speaks trans instead of life, what have I to do with him? This man is not my neighbor. He is in direct rebellion with God and my Lord told me to diligently guard my heart and to be as harmless as doves and
Matthew 10:16
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.../KJV
And so what would it profit the trans person if I acquiesced to their request of walking in their shoes? It would be a coming into agreement with them and if I am to be in an agreement with them then I would be in rebellion to God. That trans might lose his soul! We Christians must protest because trans do what they do and say what they say and it is full of lies. I have told you before that I can prove this scripturally. So the clear choice to make if I am truely going to try to love this person as myself is to tell them the truth. Right?
If I seen a mama turn away from her child just as the toddler makes a run for the street and cars are coming...should I try to save the child? Of Course. So why not the trans person? Yes, the trans person too. In love for mankind and neighbors. Excuse me Brother but you've made a bad error...Those words speak life. What does the lying trans say?
If they lie from the get go then we certainly know that you can't trust them even a little bit. So just like that like in scripture, they are cut off from their people. A tragedy but the choice that they have made. So they can't get more neighborly love or Christ-like Love, than to speak the truth to them. They kow the truth, scripture says so. They are, without excuse. So pardon me if I try to be as wise as serpents (as they are) and not to fall for their worldly sense of ethics, lol!!
Our neighbor is one who seeks truth and life and does not shy away from it. He wants help! He lies broken in the street and needs to be saved. The power of life and death are in the tongue. And from the abundance of his heart he speaks and so is...And so by the fruit of his mouth you will discern that he is an active enemy or a misguided soul...
It's hard to tell sometimes, but I'm getting better at it!
