If you honestly believe you're a Christian, and think gender is fluid, or you can simply change your gender and be ok with God, then you need a heart check. As it was in the beginning, He made them male and female. Its not a choice. Its what God made in His holy perfection. "Many will say Lord, Lord, but I never new you.."
^Did God himself tell you "those gender fluids sonny, they're bad news"? The Bible was written by men, thousands of years ago. Men have ulterior motives, outdated moralities, archaic concepts, and somewhat lesser understanding than a god. Do you believe in Jonah's story? Eden, and the creation story? Revelation's apocalypse? Has science no hold on you? Has morality? *Did you really just essentially use "Adam, and Eve, not Adam, and Steve"? *I check things with my brain, not heart.
Have to agree with crow. Did god decide that people are born with limbs missing? Down's syndrome? Or any other conditions explained by a medical condition? No if you believe in god you have to believe that he gives the tools to overcome these conditions through science. Any medical condition deserves insight, research and treatment. Just because 2000 years ago they did not understand such things don't allow the bible to cause you to have a bigoted opinion today. Every one deserves a healthy life. No one chooses to be ill. And those born ill certainly deserve better. Does god not also teach forgiveness and understanding? And only those free from sin should cast the first stone yada yada. Too serious and too tired now. Maybe tomorrow, but seriously lighten up.
@Optimal Time to break out the Jack, and coke? Start the pre-New Year's Party party? Never too early to pre-game! *There are things in the DSM that shouldn't be there. Look in former versions of it. It changes as we learn more. Though it's generally a bit behind...
No one deserves anything as all are sinners. What we deserve is eternal wrath and judgement from God. In God's love (and hate) for sinners, he made a path to salvation, which covers sin. And in that salvation comes repentance, meaning turn from your sin. You can accept His grace or leave it. Its a gift from God but we have to make the choice. He who hath an ear, let him hear. "as for me and my house, we will follow the Lord."
Gonna post my favourite quote: Believe nothing, No matter where you read it, Or who has said it, Not even if I have said it, Unless it agrees with your own reason And your own common sense. Buddha
@Mister Oh dear. You're a real brimstoner aren't you? Obergefell v Hodges is the best Supreme Court case. Good for Ellen! Nice to see Caitlyn be accepted! America is a land of immigrants! Let's go to a gay bar! Gender reassignment surgery should be subsidized! Something in there should make you have a heart attack. Then there's one less ignorant bigot perverting his religion's ideals of love, and tolerance to accompany hate, and intolerance.
Who's really intolerant? Me for following God as commanded, or you for hating Christians? Christians are not of this world, our citizenship is in Heaven. We are simply here to advance His gospel to the nations, and in that command, usher in Christ's return.
Any one who rejects Jesus as Lord will be cast into eternal fire by His judgement. That is biblical truth in Revelation, and is all over the old testament and new testament. That is the judgement that comes from God. This is nothing new.. This is not some new radical version of Christianity.. This is biblical Christianity, and its what it means to follow Christ.
I don't hate Christians. I hate what some of you do under its banner. Need I remind you, I did say I was Christian. Yea. The Bible is weird. Good morals in there. Triply stories, and a few bad advices.
Thank you. Both genders are good. Women are great at cooking and cleaning making me a sandwhich etc. And men are great at working hard leading and being awesome
