Christians and the LGTBQ2+

This post is touching on a massive topic, but it is based mainly on the sub topic of transgenderism. This is the goto bible passage for what the Lord our God says regarding transgenderism:

Deuteronomy 22:5
5
A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.

That is a holy scripture, there is no denying it. But since then, the direction of Judaism and Islamic understanding was given the opportunity to know the Truth of the Word of God. It came to us in the form of the Son of God. I know him as the Christ, Jesus.

He fulfilled the Law of sin, and the prophesies of his coming. He performed miracles and wonders to prove it to that generation, and he set forth disciples into the outlying regions to spread the good news. The good news was of the kingdom of heaven. No, not a place as much as a state of spiritual fullness. Since the ascension of Jesus, the Spirit of this eternal truth was sent among us. And through this kingdom, the conscience of perfection could act through our souls, as, our souls were supplied through this same truth. All we have to do is deny our selves and that truth can act through us.

Now understanding that, the sin each individual is active in, becomes apparent. This is called grace. By grace we are shown the poverty of the flesh we are in. Meaning we see what our soul, which is pure, is tempted with, which directly correlates with the natural desires of the form we reside in. It is by this twmptation we are led to the choices we make in our day. If you steal, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have truth act through you. If you covet your worldliness, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have the truth act through you. And, similarly, if you are active in same sex relationships that enable your desires, you now see it keeps you from the confidence it takes to have the truth act through you. Grace makes us aware of what we need to put aside. It doesnt make us perfect, but it does allow what is perfect to them work through us. And that is holiness.

So Jesus taught many things, some new, some just confirming:

Forgive to be forgiven.
Judge not.
Love one another.
Be a beacon.
Fear God not man.
Treat others how you would have yourself be treated.

You see, the enemy is not the man. The enemy is what distracts the man from faith(spiritual confidence). In this case of irregular sexual practices; it is the desires of the flesh that hosts that soul, that is the enemy that distracts man from God. This flesh does have a spectrum of gender, but it is balance by the other sex. Meaning there is an effeminant man for every dominant woman, as much as there is a femmine woman for every dominant man. And the spectrum even varies over a lifetime of partnering. A man and a woman balance each other out. Having now said that, single people are not supplied that balance, and the culture they are in either provides liberty or fear of what is natural to the individual. And this is why, denying the flesh, and putting God first truly is freeing. Because the end result is a confidence in what is Holy as well as self control.

So you allow love to act through you for the sake of those whom do not know Love.

As servants of Christ, we need to understand the average worldly person comprehension of love comes solely from the desires of the flesh that lead them into their sin. Exactly like us before we found grace.

Transgender is being enforced by the culture of this generation. It parallels the empowerment of women. It parrallels the over reliance on automation and technology. Men are becoming compliant and complacent, while women and technology are becoming dominant and relied upon. It is easy to judge those whom have fallen into mental illness. Homosexuality amd bisexuality and transexuality are mental illnesses, a derivitive of idleness. But this culture sees them as liberated lives, social freedoms.

I personally struggle with it as well. Although I was raised proper, and do not partake in same sex relationships, the climate in our society mixed with effeminate men in our media, mixed with empowered genderisms, mixed with personal struggles...it doesnt take much to bring a man down. So I have a very clear perception of both sides of this issue.

If you judge a man in a weakened state, you only serve to condemn him to it. If you treat others as you would have yourself be treated, you allow the man to see how you supply yourself strength. Remember that none are without sin. And remember that it is the sick who need a doctor not the healthy.

Be loving.

1 Corinthians 13:3-5
3
If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, b but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5
It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7
It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

So what can we say? God is love. Love is holy. Love is spiritual, and not based on the rewards of the flesh or the enabling of human relationships. Love comes from denying ourselves, allowing the fruits of the Holy Spirit to act through us. Yes, sexual perversions disgust the Lord, but so does hypocrisy.

What you do in the name of Jesus Christ; is Love. 

***additional note: as Christians we allow other to be witness to the fruits of the Holy Spirit that come through us. We do not scold, judge, or isolate individuals with holy scripture. Instead we allow them to witness what fruits of the Holy Spirit come through us. Although I mention the mental illness aspect, this is not a case of psychology, we as Christians are beacons of spirituality.***
