Confused about gender identity? It doesn't come from God!

 

 

This online news article explains: Author comes out as transgender man after his wife came out as trans woman - and pair, who have a trans daughter, now live in a four-way open relationship with their trans lovers. 

 MY OPENING QUESTION TO THE ABOVE IS:   Is God the Author of confusion?

 Honestly, all I could think of when I first saw this was: Those poor, confused people! They clearly don't realize that Scripture is clear about how God made male and female, and NO other gender; He didn't even make room for "I identify as"... 

The reason he made male and female was to procreate to produce more humans "in His Image." If people like this want babies, they CANNOT do it the "normal" way; have to get creative and use a surrogate or adopt.

They may not believe they are "hurting anyone" by following their "worldly" instincts; but they are brazenly going into the Face of God with their blatant rejection of His Word .. and telling the whole world to do the same!  They ARE therefore, "hurting" others, because they urge others to ALSO ignore the Creator ... and the Bible tells us clearly that people who sin, WILL face the consequences of their actions!

What IS clear to me here is that "the sins of the father TRULY ARE passed down through the generations" (as clearly seen in the photo in the newspaper article above); and each one WILL answer for him/herself on Judgment Day ... UNLESS they repent and turn from their sins!  

Here is what I mean - let's apply Bible hermeneutics:

Deuteronomy 5: ⁷ “‘You are to have no other gods before me. ⁸ You are not to make for yourselves a carved image or any kind of representation of anything in heaven above, on the earth beneath or in the water below the shoreline — ⁹ you are not to bow down to them or serve them; for I, Adonai your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sins of the parents, also the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, ¹⁰ but displaying grace to the thousandth generation of those who love me and obey my mitzvot.  (CJB)

Exodus 34:  ⁵ Adonai descended in the cloud, stood with him there and pronounced the name of Adonai. ⁶ Adonai passed before him and proclaimed: “YUD-HEH-VAV-HEH!!! Yud-Heh-Vav-Heh [Adonai] is God, merciful and compassionate, slow to anger, rich in grace and truth; ⁷ showing grace to the thousandth generation, forgiving offenses, crimes and sins; yet not exonerating the guilty, but causing the negative effects of the parents’ offenses to be experienced by their children and grandchildren, and even by the third and fourth generations.” (CJB)

Leviticus 26: ³⁹ Those of you who remain will pine away in the lands of your enemies from guilt over your misdeeds and those of your ancestors. ⁴⁰ Then they will confess their misdeeds and those of their ancestors which they committed against me in their rebellion; they will admit that they went against me. (CJB)

In other words:

The sins of the fathers are punished in the children through becoming the sins of the children. (Exodus 20:5; Numbers 14:18)

The generations to come who experience the penalty of the fathers’ sins are those who hate ELOHIM– meaning, they are either atheists or “lukewarm,” and refusing to live according to His Divine Instructions in Righteousness (Torah); nor follow the examples of YHWH’s Divine Messiah, Yeshua.  When the father’s sins are visited on the children it is because the children are sinful. That is the form in which the fathers’ sins are visited. Therefore, all judgment is really deserved by the person who is punished.

2. Because of God’s grace, through Messiah, the children CAN confess their own sins, which means the sins of their fathers and be forgiven and accepted by ADONAI.  Once they confess their misdeeds/iniquity along with those of of their fathers, their uncircumcised heart is humbled and they are able to make amends, then YHWH will remember His covenant with Ya’akov” (Leviticus 26:39-42). This means that the words of Exodus 34:5-7 are NOT nullified by the generational migration of sin!  (Exodus 34:5-7)

Continuing with the original intent of my article:

No TRUE believer would dare kick God in the face by "un-creating" what HE lovingly created. How much clearer could God have made his "Do's" and "don'ts"? Let's take a look:

Genesis 1:27 So God created humankind in his own image; in the image of God he created him: male and female he created them. 28 God blessed them: God said to them, "Be fruitful, multiply, fill the earth and subdue it..." (CJB)

Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman is not to wear men's clothing, and a man is not to put on women's clothing, for whoever does these things is detestable to ADONAI your God. (CJB)

Leviticus 18:22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. (CJB

Leviticus 20:13 If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them. (CJB

2 Peter 2: 19. And they promise them liberty while they themselves are the slaves of corruption: for, by whatever thing a man is vanquished, to that is he enslaved. 20. For if, when they have escaped the pollutions of the world by the knowledge of our Master and Redeemer Y'shua the Mashiyach, they become again involved in the same and are vanquished, their latter state is worse than the former.

21. For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after having known (it), to turn back from the Set Apart Commandment that was delivered to them. 22. But the true proverb has happened to them: the dog returns to his vomit and the pig that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire. (CJB

Revelation 22:14 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! 15 Outside are the homosexuals, those who misuse drugs in connection with the occult, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.(CJB

Romans 1: 22 Claiming to be wise, they have become fools! 23 In fact, they have exchanged the glory of the immortal God for mere images, like a mortal human being, or like birds, animals or reptiles! 24 This is why God has given them up to the vileness of their hearts' lusts, to the shameful misuse of each other's bodies. 25 They have exchanged the truth of God for falsehood, by worshiping and serving created things, rather than the Creator - praised be he for ever. Amen.

26 This is why God has given them up to degrading passions; so that their women exchange natural sexual relations for unnatural; 27 and likewise the men, giving up natural relations with the opposite sex, burn with passion for one another, men committing shameful acts with other men and receiving in their own persons the penalty appropriate to their perversion.

28 In other words, since they have not considered God worth knowing, God has given them up to worthless ways of thinking; so that they do improper things. 29 They are filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and vice; stuffed with jealousy, murder, quarreling, dishonesty and ill-will; they are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God; they are insolent, arrogant and boastful; they plan evil schemes; they disobey their parents; 31 they are brainless, faithless, heartless and ruthless.

32 They know well enough God's righteous decree that people who do such things deserve to die; yet not only do they keep doing them, but they applaud others who do the same.(CJB

Truth is, in today's "anything goes" and "tolerant" world, it's easier to allow hypocrisy and outright sinning to run amuck, than it is to read the "pshat" - PLAIN MEANING of Scripture - which is a true shame, because God could not have made it any clearer how HE feels about things that veer from His Divine Instructions in Righteousness!

Unfortunately, there are many pastors out there who tell their flocks that "it's okay to be gay" (or trans or LBQ- and whatever all the other letters are, that are systematically and constantly being shoved down our collective throats!); and they actually, and without hesitation, promote the LIE that "We're born that way."

THEREFORE, MY FINAL QUESTION IS THIS: Would the Creator purposely cause someone to be "born gay" only to then turn around and make their lives miserable by telling them their acts are "an abomination?"  Anything He views as "an abomination" (an act from which one CAN repent and turn their life around) will certainly NOT inherit Eternal Life...
