Subject: Am I ignorant |
Bible Note: Hi srbaegon: you say, "What do you mean by immoral? Whatever your answer, transexuality is sin" my answer Apparently all I am allowed to say on this matter is, I whole heartedly disagree with you. There is alot more that could be said on the subject, so it might suffice to say, this issue is not a sexual one as you, and others believe, it is an emotional, and spiritual one. Trans., and Homo. are not the same thing. It is not so easily solved, as by who wears what. The simple fact of the matter is, that the Church needs to come to an understanding of this issue, and cease from condemnation, so it will be able to minister to the lost, as they should be. Jesus said it differently than you, and others are saying it. John 7:24 24) Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Luke 6:37 37) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: Luke 15:7 7) I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance. John 8:11 11) She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Paul then writes for us, a list of other sins, in your eyes are these sins any less Heanous than Transexuality? Rom. 1 29) Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30) Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31) Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Does not "ALL" sin have the same sentance of Death connected to it? Weren't all of us condemed to death also, for our sins , were they any the less Heanous in Gods eyes. All sin is "Abomination", and a Stench in the Nostrels of God. For it is written: Romans 3:23 23) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; But then Paul, and Isaiah show us promises made. Rom. 8:38,39 38) For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Hebrews 7:25 25) Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Isaiah 1:18 18) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
