The verse I opened with, Genesis 1:27, is  plain and simple truth…for those of us who believe in God it is time we stood by our faith. I have spent many an hour pondering this gender stuff and have arrived at a place that tells me we as Christians are being overwhelmed by the “woke” community.  Every human being has either two X chromosomes, and is therefore biologically female, or an X and a Y chromosome, and is therefore biologically male. It was not until the past decade or so that a distinction between sex and gender came into being…or it might be said fashionable or popularized. It is also fact and a matter of record that popular culture and postmodern psychology have in this day embraced this subject as fertile ground to expand on theories and professional involvement. Popular culture and postmodern psychology, however, do not change the fact that human beings are either XX or XY. No amount of hormone therapy or surgery can change that fact.

Consider this…There are now over 50 gender options, we are overwhelmed by the alphabet people. I will not list them here…thank you. I believe the term is gender dysphoria and is in fashion now. It is time the people of the faith set the record straight. Forgive me as I throw some scripture at you. The Saints of old were not shy about making their position and that of God very plain about this letter thing. Some scriptural thoughts. Deuteronomy 22:5 has a lot to be said about transvestitism…two things of note. It  is an abomination to the LORD your God and is a sin of great proportions when used as a form of deception. Now this next note of scripture is harsh and to the point and when used to judge others is wrong. It is God who will judge and to fall back on another over used term not ours to judge these people. The New Testament is a consistent declaration of the sinfulness of homosexuality (Leviticus 18:22; 20:13; Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9. ) The Bible is consistent in its belief that gender and biological stats are the determining state of gender as created by God. SO…Biblically speaking, human beings are male or female. There is no gender spectrum or continuum even hinted at in the Bible. This as Christians is what we need to do… The bible makes it clear that sin has devastating effects on humanity. We as Christians must recognize that we are called by Christ to repent of sin…to embrace, accept and defend the instructions of our God to His people through the prophets, preachers, apostles and His disciples by the word…the Bible. Simply put…we are not in the business of condemnation but one of restoration. Let God judge while we restore and defend the faith. We must stand on our faith and never accept that what God created can be altered by man.

Life is Good
