Fellowship With Transgenders

[Fortunate]

First of I get the confusion however you can't compare wanting to be Queen Elizabeth with being transgender. They are two very completely different things. One is just wanting to be somebody else. The other is based upon gender dysphoria. Which is a Mitch match between one's gender identity in one's birth sex.

To me personally trying to live my life as a male has brought me great discomfort and distress. It just never felt right for me. On top of that I have always felt more comfortable with anything and everything feminine. For example I have always felt more comfortable hanging around females then males. On top of that I have felt a strong desire to present in a more traditional feminine manner.

I get where this can be confusing if one is not used to talking to someone who is transgender. I don't blame you at all. Anything can be confusing at times. Especially for less familiar with that topic.

Well I hope this helps. God bless.

But how is that a different thing? You are a male wanting to be someone you are not how is that different?

No one is perfect, am not a saint but I pray God brings you to the understanding of what true Christianity is all about.

Me too trying to live like me other than queen Elizabeth did bring me discomfort.

Sometimes the right things are very discomforting. In live in a society why people are asked to do what pleases them and what makes them comfortable even when it's wrong.

Do you know there are people who feels very comfortable stealing? Should they then continue stealing cos they feel comfortable doing it?

THE RIGHT THINGS ARE VERY DISCOMFORTING.

May God help us all Amen.

1.) "Transgender", or a very close equivalent, certainly IS addressed in the Bible, and it's NOT a gray area.
2.) There is nothing in Romans 14 that's says we're to avoid criticism or debate of transgender issues.

We should still treat them with compassion, but nowhere in scripture do we find this a gray area, or confusing, or something we need to tip toe around.

Sin is sin.
We are to understand that clearly.
Then we are to deal with people as compassionately as possible.... but we are never to condone the sin. Proverbs 28.13


.

In addition the bible says he who covers his sins shall perish, but he who confesses his sins and turns away will be saved.

Hey trans people,

I understand that as children somebody molested you. Maybe you were fed soy formula in plastic bottles of gender bending chemicals. That's not your fault.

Now you are adults.
Did you know that this is not acceptable by God, regardless of how you feel about yourself?
Did you know that God provides the only solution?

>This< might be your only chance.
I hope you will cry unto God for help understanding the good news, so you can have one more chance to get saved..
For those who are not trans, you still have a condemnation upon you until you receive God's special gift of life..
Please don't put it off.

For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life through He's Christ our Lord.
Romans 6:23

Well I love my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He died not only for me but for anyone who believes and has faith in Him. We have got to remember that we are saved not because of anything that we have done but because of what Christ has done for us.

We have also got to remember that all our good deeds are like filthy rags to Christ. So no good deeds can be good enough. Nor can any bad deeds be beyond God's grace and love.

We must believe in the free gift of salvation that Jesus Christ has offered anyone who believes and accepts him into their life. It's free not because of what we have done, but because of what Christ has done for us. Jesus paid it all once and for all.

I want to be real for a moment and say that yes I'm a transgender Christian woman. I say this not just because I desire to be open and honest with my fellow brothers and sisters of faith but also because I believe that Christ love and compassion is even big enough for transgender individuals who also have faith in Him.

May we all strive to lift each other up in the faith as one big family.

May God bless you all.

My friend. If you're looking for online fellowship with other Christians, you could do that here without revealing that you are a trans woman.

I appreciate your honesty and sincerity. I empathize with you in that you're looking for a fellowship here. Best way for you to do that would be to do it without having a debate about your gender identity.

Now that the cat's out of the bag, expect to face Christian music my friend.

Christian fellowship is a society. If you don't belong here, you will be frowned upon. As societies go, that's how it works.

As far as the Bible goes, you are a sinner. Especially since you have chosen to switch genders.

As to the severity of your sins and the judgement due for it, only God knows and He will be judging you.

As a Christian brother, it is my duty to welcome you and treat you as a person in Christ.

It falls on you though to work your salvation with Jesus.

Although just know that Jesus loves you. He wants you and wants to save you and will not give up on you.

It's better you find Christian fellowship in person. They would be more welcoming. More understanding perhaps.

Take care of yourself. I mean no offense in any way. Hope you're well and everything is ok where you are. God bless

This is all about semantics. I get where it can be confusing for those that are less familiar with transgender individuals. Yes I was born male. That's my birth sex. However my gender identity (how I identity) is female.

Transgender individuals identify different from there birth sex due to gender dysphoria which is a the distress one feels between their birth sex and gender identity. It's just a misalignment.

So I transitioned because I have always felt female. I get where it can be a bit confusing if you are less familiar with the subject. Like I said I have to have Grace for others because Christ has grace for me.

I hope that clarifies some things. If not just let me know. 😊

I know he was banned, but I'm betting he was an AI bot. Sent by who? I don't know.

But his responses are so trans textbook, his image is so AI perfect for his claims, my nose tells me something smells awfully fishy!

Correction:

I should have proofread carefully before posting. I hate autocorrect. Most of the time autocorrect needs corrected.

Someone has been posting similar tranny/ LGBTQP questions and intros for a while. It's either more popular than I think, or it's the same person when they get a new IP address IMHO.
You might be right though. On YouTube ai is obvious , but I'm not sure about written format like this. Whether real or not, the agenda sure is being pushed isn't it?

Very well-said.

While it's not uncommon for someone not to like some particular aspect(s) of their gender, the notion that the solution is to change it completely seems a really dangerous idea, basically substituting one problem for another. That being said, trans isn't mentioned directly a whole lot in the bible, but the sins it leads to sure are, most are in effect becoming homosexual, which seems to be a much more serious issue.

That was my gut reaction at first glance too. I then ask myself why would someone join a Christian forum with a most objectionable image and self disdain for acceptance by the new strangers? Is there a remote hope for a connection there? Only curious, because I've seen that attitude elsewhere.

Aww thank you very much big brother. Greetings.

Just as Christ taught us to follow peace with all men.

Yes it not a good idea to fly off the handle with trans/crossdressing accusations. seems this was handled well the problem was pointed out with self control and nobody went off the deep end.

"Fly off the handle"? "Off the deep end"? If you happen to be a responsible parent, do you want your children to be targeted by perverts so that they go in the same direction and destroy themselves? Or are you one of those irresponsible parents who handed their kids over to the evildoers? Flying off the handle would be mild. Having them locked up would be the right response, since it is criminal for perverts to target impressionable kids.

I was talking about handling someone online, specifically the apparent trans poster in this thread, so unless you're actually going to hunt this person down, stop talking.

PS, I also don't think it's a good idea to fly off the handle at other board members who are straight that you don't agree with either.
