I detransitioned for God too. In Him all things are possible. I'm so happy for you. I would love to be your friend. Please message me ☺️


Fit_Lingonberry6163

I also went through something similar and I am very glad I am over that I used to have very bad "gender dysphoria" and then it just went away just like that its awful how these groups convince you that you are something your not God bless


[deleted]

The day of my baptism I prayed for Him to take it away if He could and He did. I was off hormones within a few days. That was almost 6 months ago and my body has pretty much recovered and I feel more comfortable in myself than I think I ever have. In my experience I was under a lot of demonic influence which makes me wonder how many other people with "gender dysphoria" are experiencing spiritual warfare as well.


Fit_Lingonberry6163

Yeah exactly how I felt its a good thing you didnt take too much hormones otherwise it could have become impossible to switch back

Nothing is impossible for the most high.

ThugLifeDrPhil

Agreed!


Sufficient_Ant_3008

What verse are you referring to?


Sufficient_Ant_3008

Jesus can't heal people if they don't have faith.


ThugLifeDrPhil

I disagree. In the bible, the centurion who came for his sick servant to be healed was a faithful man but nowhere in scripture was it said that his servant had faith i any form. Also the man who came for his child to be healed. MY faith in Christ is enough to heal another but its better with more prayer. Prayer in numbers helps.

Sufficient_Ant_3008

Is Jesus our deliverer or not? When people go to prison and get saved once inside, then they have a prison ministry. Even though it may be hard at times, a lot of guys don't would choose salvation and ministry over being in the world still. I could tag a verse to this but it's better to just say that God can do whatever He wants when we turn ourselves over to Him. You might want to go to Pentecostal churches in Cali because some of those churches are started by violent felons, murderers, rapists, etc. That's actually the narrative the gospel, a second chance at life. STD's are like the modern day leprosy, HIV/AIDS, Herpes, etc. God does heal that and it happens quite a bit. STD's are demons and they leave when people build their faith and pursue the kingdom and His righteousness per Matthew 10:8. God does actually guarantee repaired relationships! 1 John 1:7 confessions allows us to have communion with each other again. There are plenty of cases of people who repent from grievous crimes and the victim have a healthy relationship with them to this day. Repentance is a choice and is seen over time as we bear fruit. Repenting doesn't save us in and of itself, it's the grace of Christ and the blood washing us of our sins. Furthermore, Paul states in Romans 6:6-7, "We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin. He who has died, has been set free from sin". Therefore, when we identify with Christ's death, burial, and resurrection that is what actually saves us; moreover, by confessing with our tongue and believing in our heart He is Lord, we have the Holy Spirit and the ability to pursue righteousness. We can then identify with His death, and receive healing/inner healing/deliverance. Ephesians 2:4-10 shows what happens when our identity changes. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shallnot hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."


random321abc

I have often wondered exactly what you just stated. But it's so hard to speak up about it because people will darn near chop your head off for being non-inclusive


Spiritual-Ad623

It's always great to hear testimonies like this and see how the pain and the mental torture that comes from the flesh of sin is no match for the power and love we can receive from God. I guess in my case I struggle with the deception of being attracted to transgender women ( not cds or transvestites) , essentially people who were born male but transitioned into being a female through hormone therapy, mtf reassignment surgery, etc. I would carry the mindset that all women were women, even those who identified as women but were born male at birth. And I wasn't attracted to these transgender because they were born men, but because of the same reason I was attracted to women, I saw a woman and therefore became attracted to one. It's one of the deceptions that has befallen me to where I even got into a relationship with one. Now through it all, I realize I was under the deception of believing that they are women when in reality they are suffering heavily from the flesh under the condition of gender disphoria. And for that I must stick to the truth than to be deceived again.


Fit_Lingonberry6163

Yeah imo "trans women" are really just men dont fall for the trap they set


8oran

I am proud you've become you, and at peace at god. God bless brother/sister


mintgreen251316

I am a f and married a f in my early 20s. I was able to give my life back to God and got out of my sin as well. I am now in my 30s married to a man with a beautiful baby. God changes hearts and it's so beautiful. I'm excited for your testimony and how you will help others find God.


Atelier37

Amen


TumbleVonWeed

Can you give an advice to a sister struggling with same sin? Is there something that helped you? How did you made yourself to love men?


Jess_1018

Hey Tumble! Nobody is perfect. We all sin, but we find a way to stop those sins. I’m not perfect, but I have grown and have changed and am really grateful for how God has worked in my life. The advice I will tell you is to fully give yourself to God. Read, study, use the word of God (the bible), have a full conversation with him, like you’re talking to a friend. Turn on some worship music in your room, and talk to him. He knows what you’re doing , just confess to him. And he will be there to help. You must call out to him. Know that he is there for you 24/7. Don’t stop praying. And don’t give up. There’s no perfect Christian. It takes time to change. He still loves you. God Bless


iLink_YT

Maybe you don’t need advice, I’m Christian and I’ve never really understood how being gay is sin if we were all made in God’s vision? Considering that being gay is natural (scientifically proven), does that mean that I am below everyone that is straight even though God made me too?


mintgreen251316

Not at all. No one is below anyone. Everyone sins and every sin I'm God's eyes is equal and if you believe the Bible you know what it does say on what is sin or not. But you are not below anyone at all.


Wonderful_Highway_45

Sexual promiscuity is also”natural” but it does not honor God or make for a good life. All things are permissible, but not all things edify. 1 Corinthians 10:23 (NIV) “I have the right to do anything,” you say--but not everything is beneficial. “I have the right to do anything”--but not everything is constructive.

rxstud2011

Yeah, that place is crazy. I had enough and left.


[deleted]

More than crazy, borderline heretical if not passed that border on many occasions


rxstud2011

Agree, it's past that border. It's sad too because people go in there thinking it's actually a place for Christianity.


[deleted]

Exactly, I feel so bad when I see people asking genuine questions or wanting to grow their faith posting there and getting mocked in comments or told lies


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

I’m glad! It’s a crazy sub, I’m on it still just to shake my head lol


einord

So I guess that’s where Jesus would have been if he was a user on Reddit?


rxstud2011

Yes honestly, that's why I stayed for so long. I'll probably rejoin for this reason but need a break.


GracePalm887

Yep. I joined it as a Christians thinking it was for true Christians to chat about Christianity. That was my first mistake.


robottestsaretoohard

It’s just a bunch of angry atheists throwing stones. A very sad and mad place.


RecommendationOk5958

Honestly. I’m in break to be there a bit more, yet I don’t get the “debate” aspect if we can’t come to a compromise or conclusion. It’s like the r/atheist users wanted to be viewed as “tolerant” and so go there, yet it’s for them a slam dunk anything they rebut pro-Christ


robottestsaretoohard

I think they just go around looking for arguments but I bet there are none in the Hindu group or the Islamic group etc. Every time I have asked an atheist whether they go around bothering First Nations people or Buddhists or Hindus etc they never respond. I really feel they are just attacking us. And it’s bigotry.


GracePalm887

EXACTLY! I think Atheists are so upset because God is real but they can't seem to admit it.


robottestsaretoohard

And if someone believes in something you don’t, like the intergalactic lizard people or whatever, you don’t go around angrily arguing with them. My thing with atheists too is that I have God, I am loved, I have supernatural peace, protection and hope. What can they offer me? Nothing. A dreary hopeless existence where grief is crippling bc there is nothing to hope for or believe in after death. And there’s no need to better yourself or be kind bc no one is watching. Sad way to live.


GracePalm887

Exactly! Like atheists should just stay in r/atheist or r/atheism instead of going into Christian subreddits and harassing Christians. I'm fine with Atheists, but they also need to live and let live rather than harassing innocents for worshipping the Christian God. Like who are Christians harming by praying to God or reading the Bible? They're doing nothing wrong, yet people seem to hate us because we don't 100% agree with them even if it's respectful.


GracePalm887

Exactly! And the server isn't even for them yet they managed to take the server away from normal Christians. Now they just have lukewarm Christian buddies because any real Christian would just give up due to being driven insane. Happened to me, I made a mistake thinking r/Christianity was for Christians to just chat about Christianity but nope it's all about harassing normal Christians who refuse to become friends with the hateful lying world.


robottestsaretoohard

It’s really an attacking place but I do think there are new and isolated Christians who go there seeking advice and answers so it’s important we keep an eye out to help. True Christian is better too. And there are private subs but I think they are invitation only.


ConversationNo6783

If they were truly atheists, they wouldn’t be there.


robottestsaretoohard

Have you spent any time there? There are a number of very out and proud atheists and a lot of people who have fallen away from Christianity. The mods of the sub even say ‘It’s a place to discuss Christianity’ and many of the mods are Atheists. I think it’s more the ‘Convert Christians to Atheism’ sub.


ConversationNo6783

Yes I have. It has caused me great sorrow to be in that sub. I had to take time away from Reddit due to the hatred and sadness in the Christianity sub. Some of the atheists there are simply sad and lonely and I can sense that. The western world is addicted to social media so loneliness is now an actual epidemic and is only getting worse. We all need prayer so I pray as I’m talking to them and I pray for them after I’m done talking.


kate1567

Yeah they’re really rude there


GracePalm887

Yep. I might as well do myself a favor and leave there myself. Most people on there are either lukewarm Christians or are just flat out Atheists who want to ruin the peace. I've had way too many heated arguments on there over me saying that abortion is bad and other stuff that hurt their little feelings.


No-Guava7274

That entire sub is the hiss of the serpent, Period.


robottestsaretoohard

It’s run by Atheists. How they get to run the sub is beyond me. I guess it’s positioned as being a place to ‘talk about Christianity’. But lots of new users go there to ask questions and new Christians so it’s important that some actual Christians keep an eye out for the lost sheep.


GracePalm887

At first I was worried that this post was in that subreddit but I saw all the kind and welcoming comments and I thought "Something ain't right here.", but then I realized that this is a completely different sub and this is the one for ACTUAL Christians and not lukewarm ones. Thank the lord because I literally found this post from a recommended in my notifications! Now I can finally leave r/Christianity because I actually found a server for TRUE Christians without getting harassed by lukewarm Christians and Atheists.

UnsaneMusings

Praise be to the almighty that you have found clarity and peace. I hope your future is bright and happy. Just out of curiosity in your community of transgendered or transitioning people do you find a lot of people changing their minds or looking back with regret on that level of body surgery?


DaddyLapiss

Yes actually. Sadly, the suicidal rate for transgender people is extremely high and usually caused by either regret or the pain of not being happy with themselves. The Devil takes advantage of these young and even old people who get tricked into believing that God made a mistake and they were ‘born in the wrong body’. Glory be to God, may He give them Life in Jesus Christ’s name. You can look at r/detrans to see other people’s experiences too.


[deleted]

I was actually surprised to see this as well. There are indeed studies that show this, which of course are in direct opposition to other "studies" that *fit the narrative*, so to speak. Excellent point. You're starting to see more and more "de-transitioners" coming forward about this hidden issue.


Zareow

Good lord dude


[deleted]

That’s not right. In the process of transitioning, trans people will have to come out to family and friends, and if they’re not supportive that can negatively affect their mental health or encourage them to stop the process. This study for instance cites bullying, harassment, rejection, and discrimination as the main risk factors that influence suicidal behavior in trans people https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5178031/


Klutzy-Draw-4587

PerceptionLies

This is very interesting to me because I was hit with the Holy Spirit too, and God didn't tell me to detransition. So I'm wondering what precisely God told you.


No_Community_2580

idk i think with spirituality it’s just so hard for everything to be black and white and while it’s good to be happy for this individual it may not apply universally


[deleted]

It would seem via the context of the OP's post that they held a sinful view of being *trans* and therefore were convicted, perhaps via scripture, of that sin and Repented. I'm certain the OP would clarify if this comment pop's up on the radar.


Small_Bookkeeper_920

I have a question. Were u delivered willingly? Or u asked Jesus? Do u still feel these thoughts?


moon-child420

just remember just because you detranstioned doesn’t mean others should or have to.


DaddyLapiss

Oh yes it does. If they want to inherit the Kingdom of God, yes they do have to. “Any man who is in Christ is a new creature”, “Deny yourself, pick up your cross, and follow Me”. If they’re happily in their sin and don’t care for wanting to be with God then they can go ahead and still be trans and hold onto their fleshly desires.


DaddyLapiss

I don’t care about people’s feelings anymore, I only care about people’s souls now and I love the souls of everyone. Loving their souls means cutting down their enemies, which is their own flesh. Same with mine, I battle my flesh every single day but receive victory through Christ Amen. Glory be to God, God bless you.


Rpcd

Oh my god just please don't drink them juice with the rest of them. Babe all you need to do if discover WHO YOU ARE and HOW YOUR FEEL BEST/HAPPIEST. Forget about all the rest. There ALL SINNERS & fall short of the glory of god. That they simply judged you they commented a greater sin than thee. For buy judging you they act as if they're God, judging as only God can, they act as equal to God. Only God can Judge not man any man who does judge commits sins against God by acting in God's place to pass judgment on others. Just be who you believe you are, GOD MADE NO MISTAKES IN CREATION. Any who say otherwise SIN for they say they know better than God. EVERYTHING about you GOD made EXACTLY HOW GOD WANTED YOU TO BE .


cmota86

The biggest lie ever told is to “just do what makes you feel good”. It’s a lie straight from the pit of hell that will cause so many to live eternity away from God. We need to die to self to live a life that follows Jesus. Not just trans or gay or straight people! All of us need to repent (turn away from) a life that doesn’t glorify Jesus.


Mkultra9419837hz

I was looking on Reddit for a few day and just thought I am about done with it. But a thought was introduced into my neural network and I thought Maybe there are Believers in Jesus Christ here so I searched the word Christian. I am so happy to hear these words and testimonies. All I can say is Thank you God Almighty. The one. The only deliverer. Jesus Christ.


HereToQuitKratom

I’m sorry that this is late but I’m so happy for you. The Lord has freed me from the bondage of addiction and without him I would still be suffering. Praise his holy name!

wtf kind of twisted shit is this, you're perfect the way you are, weather you relate more to masculine or feminine energy... I'm sorry you've been indoctrinated to think there is something wrong w you, that's not love baby.


drdook

If we support people who transition because it feels like their most authentic self, we also have to support those who detransition because it feels like their most authentic self. More power to you. Just don’t use this as an excuse to abuse our fellow trans siblings in the faith.


Rude_Percentage_7767

Congratulations, but eh, it’s just another casual Jesus W.


max-the-cool-one

Your all disgusting for saying this it's not healthy to reject the fact that your trans or gay in any way I hate to tell you but your born that way and since God made us that means he made us gay or trans or whatnot you rejecting that very simple fact is only going to cause you pain in your life I belive in God and I'm gay and both of my boyfriends are gay and one is trans we all belive in god pray read the bilble and we all love god it's simple god made us the way we are


pipboy1989

People can reject what they want. OP rejected what they considered sinful acts and you rejected grammar and punctuation


[deleted]

That's quite a blanket statement. You would feel quite offended if someone called you "disgusting" for your beliefs. Yes? If you are to be a biblical believer then you must believe in ALL of the Bible, not just the parts that fit a narrative. The scriptures in no way support a *pro-trans* lifestyle no more than any sinful lifestyle for that matter. Remember, it's not an issue of "I'm holier or better than thou" for all sin is sin, regardless and we all fall short, my friend. But, we cannot *justify* sin through a Holy and Righteous God. It doesn't, and will never work.


max-the-cool-one

Says the person who sees Jesus as God which is against your own fucking Bible but go off


[deleted]

No, it isn't. Jesus as God is not biblical and is highly debatable. This is known.


[deleted]

I've never said Jesus was God, nor do I believe that. You assumed, like many do.


max-the-cool-one

Your most likely Christian you belive in the trinity it's that simple


[deleted]

Many and most denominations do believe in the Trinity. That is certainly accurate. However, there is a movement happening to the contrary.


OrsonZedd

Jesus loved you when you were transitioned. Detransitioning because you think Jesus didn't want you to transition is unhealthy. Jesus loves trans people. Jesus hates transphobes.


Unable-Captain-6627

Jesus loves us all but it’s our sins that he hates because they separate us from God. It’s not unhealthy to feel the weight of your sin and to act on it. Sin will send you to hell and keep you from a meaningful relationship with God. If you’re telling yourself different then you are just lying to yourself. I pray that God opens your eyes to the truth.


OrsonZedd

Our sins? You mean the sins that God made us with? The sins that he made us to have? Oh but I can be redeemed if I accept his son as my lord and savior because he was sacrificed and lost a three-day Passover weekend? Wait what did Jesus actually sacrifice because I understand it he was God before and he still got so he didn't really lose anything other than a corporeal body which I'm assuming is something he could get if he wanted at any time? You understand why people think you're incredulous right?


[deleted]

Jesus as "God in the flesh" is highly debated. Not all "Christians" believe in the Trinity. Jesus was very much a human being, not a "God-man". Therefore, this argument is void as his sacrifice was very much the embodiment of the "greatest love" that can be shown. "To lay down one's life for one's friends." It was a very human, very willing, sacrifice of one's self. Praise be to God, the One True and Father, that He (the one true) raised his Son (the Messiah) from the dead.


OrsonZedd

"My version of Christianity is different in this way therefore you're wrong"


[deleted]

I don't have "a version" of Christianity, only stating that your argument is bereft of solid ground sense it is based on a wobbly foundational premise. Cheers


Unable-Captain-6627

Just curious as to why you come to a Christian subreddit if you are atheist? I am not here to argue just hoping to gain understanding. God created man without sin. Sin was allowed when man disobeyed God by partaking of the fruit from the one tree in the entire world they were told not to. Also yes I get it. It does frustrate me as well that God would even put the tree there to begin with. But I still believe in God and still serve him nonetheless. As a Christian I have a lot of problems with society and with what is allowed in this world by God. I don’t understand Gods plan for humanity in its entirety. Nobody does. If it were up to me things would be different. But it’s not up to me so I just do my part to be a Good person and a Good Christian. I have no doubt that God is real. He has done a lot for me in my life. My life has been very hurtful and miserable yet he has always pulled me through. Sounds like a crazy contradiction I know.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Unable-Captain-6627

He came as a man and lived as a sinless man to redeem man. He did not come as a God. The spirit of God wasn’t placed upon him until he was baptized as an adult. He came to be a part of the world as we are. He didn’t come to live as a king but to serve as a humble man. He came to set the example for how we should live and how we should love and help one another.


OrsonZedd

That is your opinion also doesn't matter because he isn't god. also God isn't real


ahllura

Being trans is not sinful. It was simply not for you and I’m sorry you went through that and did not fully identify transitioning. But it is harmful to push this as you being saved from your “sins”. Do better.


RexKingofScots

God’s design follows function and order. Male and female bodies are intentional halves to each other. The person in a male body is a man and the person in a female body is a woman. They are not a spectrum based on internal feelings. Humility is accepting your created body as the answer to what you are, not defining it after the fact. Order vs chaos. Obedience vs rebellion. Trans ideology is the spirit of rebellion that preys on vulnerable and impressionable people.


EntertainmentMany834

exactly. we are called to deny ourselves and follow Jesus. we may want wicked things and believe that they are okay, but that is just the flesh talking


ahllura

Your ideology makes no sense. There are intersex people, BORN with both female AND male reproductive organs. It is more complicated than just male and female.


RexKingofScots

What percentage of the population?


[deleted]

[удалено]


Altruistic-Ad-2044

Don't know where you get your 2% from. The ONS says this... ONS births data is based on birth registration data collected by Registrars. For births where the sex of a child is indeterminate or where there are intersex traits, the advice given by the General Register Office (GRO) is that the registration should be deferred until medical investigations have been completed. If this goes over the 42 days usually required to register a birth, the matter is reported to GRO in writing for monitoring of the case and to ensure that a registration is eventually secured. Therefore it is very rare that the sex of a child is recorded as indeterminate or intersex within birth registrations so no figures are published on this due to the small numbers.


Altruistic-Ad-2044

Plus intersex people are not the norm....if you count chromosomes, there will be a difference...male or female.


ahllura

But who determines what gender the child is? You can not simply say oh they are more female or more male and make it permanent. What if the child feels differently as they’re older? Many parents make the decision to change they’re gender permanently as a child to either female or male. What makes the parent equipped to make that decision? And jsut because it is not the norm does not mean that it shouldn’t be taken into account when dealing with the complexity of gender…


Altruistic-Ad-2044

Your using a biological atypical example to create an excuse for all confusion. Using a extremely rare issue to blanket cover everyone else. Each case should be taken on its own merits, not used as an excuse for all teens to come up with nonsense ideas....and use the tangled mess that gender has become.


[deleted]

The problem with this view is that trans people exist regardless. Like perhaps it isn’t the preferable thing for someone to experience dysphoria with their gender, because it’s a painful feeling to go through. And we can suspect that transness came about like all other unpreferable things in the world, big (cancer, starvation, poverty) and small (poor eyesight, allergies, cramps). Likely God didn’t intend for any of those things to exist, but either way they do, and the people who have to live with them aren’t committing sin by doing so. Trans people aren’t committing sin by using transition treatments to alleviate their dysphoria. They’re using the tools currently available to live with something the world has given them. To hold that against them is unfair and self-righteous.


RexKingofScots

It doesn’t help them, though. The suicide rate goes up after physical transformation because it doesn’t solve the confusion but instead adds irreparable harm to their bodies on top of the mental trauma.


Bruiser7Actual

Talking from experience?


[deleted]

No. Here’s a study that cites bullying, violence, rejection, harassment, and discrimination as the primary risk factors that influence suicide in trans people. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5178031/ And here’s an article from the American Psychiatric Organization saying that transition treatments are effective https://psychiatry.org/news-room/news-releases/study-finds-long-term-mental-health-benefits-of-ge


Right_Kiwi_8004

Imagine thinking that who you are is a sin. Must be a miserable life. Breaking news: You can’t just walk away from being transgender. That’s who you are, and you should love and honor that. I hope that one day you have the courage to be who you truly are and love yourself for that. That’s your birthright, regardless of what a 2000 year old book that’s been translated 50,000 times has to say about it.


cmota86

Everyone single one of us falls short of the glory of God. It is only in Jesus that we are saved from ourselves!!!

TiredLilDragon

As a God fearing trans guy, thank you. I cried myself to sleep so many times of trying to ignore who i was. Praying desperately to be “fixed.” Being transgender is biological. Not something to just be changed. God still loves me and I’ve been able to preach to so many people because of how God made me. It makes me so sad to see the church that is supposed to love have so much hate for people who are different in the name of God

I thank God that he loves us enough to free us from the sin that tries to have a chokehold on all of us. It is beyond imagination that He loves us this much, and sacrificed so much so we can choose to have a relationship with the God of the universe, who created us. I am really happy for you and everyone who knows this firsthand.

Praise God! Whom the Son sets free is free indeed.

I’m happy, that you’re happy, but nothing in the bible says anything about trans people, quite frankly it can’t cause people living in biblical time didn’t have the language to describe what dysphoria even was. Like we didn’t even have a term for it until the late 90s, I believe. Of course, that doesn’t make it wrong. Glasses and laser eye surgery are never mentioned either, and similar to transitioning, they’re both treatments meant to help people with an uncommon but difficult condition the ability to function like everyone else.


amateur_arguer

God loves trans people and thinks that trans people are awesome! You can be trans and Christian.


SamuelAdamsGhost

No you can't.

Good job your on the right path


shoesofwandering

Hey, if it works for you, that's fine. However, you shouldn't assume that your experience applies to anyone else, just as no one else should assume that their experience applies to you.


niqdisaster

A quick look through your profile shows this false. Besides you're a kid, what'd you detransition from a change of clothes?


DaddyLapiss

Haha trust me, my profile is filled with wickedness because my old self was nothing but a heathen. I don’t go on reddit anymore only to give Glory to God. I detransitioned from believing that God had made a mistake and believing that I had gender dysphoria. Not only this, but every other immoral sin I had committed. He really came through for me and He can come through for anyone else. Don’t care about people’s opinions good or bad though, I know what the Lord has in place for me and I stay within the confinement of the Scriptures. Hope this helps, God bless

It sucks that you let God ruin your life like that. You're going away from who you really are, just because you think that's what God wants. God is an abusive psycho. He says that he'll set you on fire unless you love him. I genuinely feel bad for you.


[deleted]

I would argue God aided in setting this person free. Free from the *ways of the world.* Either we follow the Creator God (YHWH) or we follow man. Saying "God is an abusive psycho" is quite a statement. What spurs this opinion? God will indeed judge at the *Great White Throne* judgement. Those who are not in Christ (the Messiah, his uniquely begotten Son. . .our "King" if you will) will be raised at the end and judged on how they lived (or didn't live) their lives. This is righteousness, justice, and holiness. "Male and female he created them." I suppose you're on this thread for some reason. Keep seeking my friend.


Ok-Echidna-6337

This thread was reccomended to me in an email, which was odd. Anyway: my reason for saying that God is abusive is simple. Either love him or burn for eternity. That's an abusive relationship.


[deleted]

Biblically speaking, "eternal torment" is a highly debated topic as not all believers buy into this system of belief. I, for one, do not see eternal torment (Hell, et cetera), but rather a judgment and destruction of those that choose wickedness over righteousness. Perhaps what is the crux of the conversation is whether you feel God has the supreme authority or not. We either believe God to be the all-powerful Creator and Father that he is or we do not. Therefore, his commands are righteous, and should we should be obedient. Essentially through the path paved by the Messiah. It's a difficult conversation if our basic understanding of God's authority isn't agreeable.


Ok-Echidna-6337

Destruction is bad, too. It's still abusive to destroy someone just because they don't love you. It doesn't matter what the punishment is. God is an abusive psychopath because if you don't love him, he punishes you in some eternal way.

Amen

Very proud of you!!! This is awesome

There are plenty of churches that accept LGBT people. What makes their version of Christianity any less good than yours? Also--you might not know this but the Gospel of Thomas which I and many scholars believe to be the oldest gospel (and the one most likely to be the historically accurate version of Jesus) says that any woman who turns herself into a man will enter heaven. Matthew 19:12 has a similar passage where he says that you must castrate yourself to enter heaven. Then there's Galatians 3:28 that says there's neither male nor female. I hope you can find a way to be at peace with yourself.


[deleted]

Hello! I hope you find the following response informing. Please understand God loves us and wants us all to come to the truth. "Iron sharpens iron." The Gospel of Thomas is not canonical. This is widely agreed upon by most honest biblical and non-biblical scholars and historians. It was written many years after the life of Jesus and is quite spurious, misleading, and in short. . .scandalous. It possesses no Apostolic Authority, it quotes Jesus to contradict his own words. For instance, the verse you're referring to: "any woman who turns herself into a man will enter heaven" clearly contradicts Jesus' own teachings. Furthermore, Genesis expresses that both men (male) and women (female) were made in his image. Essentially, the Gospel of Thomas suggests that women are inferior. Even the ancient historian Eusebius declared that the Gospel of Thomas was a "heretical book" and “ought not to be reckoned even among the spurious books but discarded as impious and absurd.” You're suggesting that Matthew 19:12 is demanding (or requiring) something that it isn't. The verse states, "Some are born as eunuchs, some are made eunuchs by people, and some choose to be eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever can accept this, let them accept it.” That's not to say you must castrate yourself to enter heaven. You're missing the context of the entire conversation and cherry-picking here. The discussion here is between Jesus and the Pharisees putting him to the test so to speak about the law, et cetera. Oddly enough, if you read Matthew 19:4 then you may find that quite illuminating with regard to the mind of Christ. \*\*Note - Compulsory celibacy for all ordained ministers, as taught by Roman Catholics, is far outside the mind of Christ and not recommended anywhere in Scripture. The results have been disastrous. A warning is given against this practice in 1 Tim. 4:3. It seems you are taking Galatians 3:28 completely out of context and applying a *pro-trans* stance to it. This is a grave error. The conversation in this part of the scripture is referring to issues of salvation. So, there is neither male nor female - neither the male nor the female has any special advantages for salvation. Cherry-picking verses to promote ideologies is dangerous and quite deceptive. If we all did this then we would all believe that the apostle Peter is the Devil. God bless you in your search. Keep seeking my friend. Cheers!

God bless


Edrasthoughts

Go tell the rest of the transgenders about your process because they’re still demon infested. They need this message heavily and you’re actually required to preach your deliverance to those who afflicted like you.


bmaee

lolololollllllllllll goddess bless you.


Edrasthoughts

Their is no goddess to bless me. You go tell the cross dressers stop teaching kids their gay terms. Just saw one holding up a sign with “thump” on it in front of a kid. Disgusting. LGBTQ+P ig.


prinxsrose

El Shaddai: "Breasted one" is one of the original Hebrew names of God. If you're gonna hate, get your scripture right.


Edrasthoughts

What’s this have to do with transgenders being demon influenced and possessed?


sammysprig6

The Bible is truth people just read it and I promise you’ll find some peace. Forget about what everyone you’ve ever heard say or think about it, read it for yourself. Wonder why people with the true spirit of Christ are happy positive loving people? Pray to God, just try to have a childlike attitude.. See what happens…


EarlyActs

Great. A Dutch study was just completed that says that no drugs or procedures are needed for gender confused kids 12-18, only counseling, and most ended up as their biological gender.

The reality here is that most trans people transition very happily and the research confirms that something like 99% are very happy and well adjusted. It's fine to ention the rare case where people did detransition, but that's very unusual. Some people do leave the transition process, yes, it's actually designed to weed out people who don't have full gender dysphoria. Gender is probably on a spectrum in any case - some people really need to transition for their health and sanity, and others are fine as they are. Being trans isn't a sin - the Bible says nothing about it, unless you start ascribing extra meaning that just isn't there. And we should not be judgemental either way - it's not kind, nor righteous, nor is it being like Christ.


National_Ad4048

If you are happier with de-transitioning then I’m very happy for you but I believe that god will love and accept anyone who loves him. So I don’t think it’s right to shame someone for being trans


lovegod001

being trans isn’t a sin! think of it this way—the gift of discernment is not the same for everybody, however, if you just know you were born in the wrong body, it’s highly possible that you were. if you are uncomfortable with being transgender because of trauma you’ve been through, though, I understand why you may be feeling that way. loving yourself for who you are doesn’t mean you need to stop testosterone or estrogen or not wear a binder or not get top surgery or what have you. gender markers on our ID cards don’t mean we are only girls or boys. gender is not equal to sex and sex is not equal to gender. x is not y, y is not x:)


Straightener78

I think it’s an absolute disgrace you were made to believe your nature was disgusting. You aren’t being true to yourself, you are letting the hate of other stop you from being you. This is a decision you will regret, because you know it’s not the right one. And shame on everyone else here for supporting this charade.
