As I see it, we are as God made us. God would not add the burden of another sin to us - only we can burden ourselves in that way. Since it is not really a choice to be transgendered, we are as He intended.

Angel, anyone says, being Trans is a sin, is wrong. For they are committing a sin, themselves, that of hatred. I know, its hard to ignore their voices, Angel, but they are not worthy of your attention and time. Hope this helps you.

The way I see it is that God made us this way for a reason. He gave us these challenges because He knew we would be strong enough to handle them, and He wanted us to teach others about it. I strongly disagree with the statement that God hates transpeople, as well as the statement that God hates gays or lesbians.

Hi Angel,

No, you are not a sinner. And here's why.

This will be a long post, and I guarantee you that very few people will bother to read it, and fewer will think about it and almost no fundamentalist Christian will possibly be swayed by it, because most people have their own set of beliefs and until and unless someone descends from the clouds in a fiery chariot surrounded by seraphim and cherubim, with trumpets ablaze, anything else will be dismissed as not relevant.

So, what do we have? Well, lots of Bible quoters, who basically have not really read the Bible, will start out by quoting Deuteronomy 22:5 which forbids the wearing of clothes of one gender by the other. They will conveniently leave out the laws against wearing clothes of two different materials (cotton/polyester comes to mind), that if a parent has a stubborn son, he will be brought out and stoned to death, a ban against believing in astrology, to rest on the 7th day, a rapist must marry his victim and can never divorce her, you can’t eat non-Kosher maggots, I hope you get the idea. They are cherry picking here.

Anyway, Acts 15:23 in the New Testament and beyond basically say that Christians are NOT required to keep the Laws of Moses except for circumcision and 4 particular restrictions, none of which have to do with human gender (they are required to accept Jesus!!!). So any Old Testament quotes from Exodus, or Deuteronomy or any of those that people pick and choose from are basically INVALID for Christian living.

Ok, we have the New Testament quotes which some are using. For example Romans 1:26-27. You really have to read all of Romans 1 to understand what Paul is saying. He is giving examples of what has happened to a group of people that have abandoned God (and Jesus) and is giving examples of what this abandonment is like. He is saying basically that because they abandoned God, “God gave them up to vile afflictions”. Not that people who act a certain way are vile in and of themselves. If you believe in God and accept Jesus as your Savior, you are not a part of that group of people that gave up on God AND who God caused to be afflicted. This is a perfect example of people using the Bible as a buffet dinner and picking and choosing what they want to believe and accept, not what is written.

And , you know, I’m looking at a web site that purportedly gives Bible quotes that attempt to show that anything TG is a sin. Other then the quotes that show what Jesus taught – Love your God, Love your Neighbor, the rest is from the Old Testament and therefore not meaningful to Christians, as fully explained in Acts.

Geesh!!!! It would be nice if someone actually bothered to read the Bible.

What I really find sad is that this writer, wrote the following -

"Strange that those who don’t want to be judged for being transgender will judge you for the opposite view!"

Basically he is casting stones on TG people and then saying they are wrong for casting stones at him. He is judging people right and left and then criticizing tg people for attempting to judge. Nobody except God has the right to judge anyone for their beliefs.

So, NO - being transgender is NOT a sin. In the Christian Bible New Testament, there is no restriction against it. And it's basically because Jesus brought a new covenent and that is a covenent that God loves you and you are to love God and your neighbor back.

Hope this helps

Hugs

btw, I refuse to use gender pronouns when talking about God. If we were made in God's image, God was in the funhouse hall of mirrors at the time.

Transgenderism or transsexualism is not a sin,because every transgendered person was born that way and it's God who created them that way.

In my opinion,there is nothing negative about wanting to be the opposite gender and feeling like you born in the wrong body,unless you attempt suicide or there is some kind of disrespect towards something or someone,because let me tell you ... MANY people that can't transition or take hormones because of medical problems or lack of money can frustrate them,they will try to kill themselves - living in the wrong body your entire life is something that needs to be fixed.
