Question
I have a question.

I’m transgender born in a strict christian family. My dad is a ex minister and my mum went to bible college and now part-time teaches at a christian school.

My dad keeps saying that I’m a sinner and god thinks what I’m doing is wrong and that I will not enter heaven.

I’m not homosexual never have been, I have always liked girls but I have not had sex and I’m 26 now and I don’t see the point of sex really.

I was told before I started hormones cause I am xxy chromosomes and was tested that I could never have kids.

Now the thing that is silly..is that even in the bible it says allot of Christians will go to hell and some bible people say around 99% will go to hell..so why should my dad judge me before he is judged.

It also states in the bible that in God’s eyes we are not male or female..so even if im transgender I doubt God will look at my outer appearance and say..yep str8 to hell with you.

As for the part in the bible that says..men shall not wear women cloth..that’s silly.

In bible times everyone wore the same..men wore long robes kinda dress and same with the women. Jesus wore a long robe and that thing over his head like all the pictures of Mary wore.

It wasn’t till like the 17th or 18th century that men and women started wearing diff outfits..but Dresses and Skirts does not mean that’s female cloth because even still today allot of cultures wear skirts and dresses..

I remember when I was a kid our parents made us dress in the Greek army outfit which was white stockings, a skirt that had lots layers, and pom pom pointy shoes, ruffle with puffy shoulders..etc Yet they don’t define that as Crossdress??

Kiwi’s still wear dresses “sarongs” and scott’s wear quilts..but still they think..well its there culture its fine..but we all wore the same back in bible times..even the men like Joseph or Danial in the bible that became kings or up there wore makeup and braided there hair and wore white dress like clothing with bangles, necklaces, rings..

The 19th century become Embarrassed and ashamed as if every christian thinks of them self as if they are Adam and Eve and when they sinned they became ashamed.

So it’s not for any human even if they are the pope or some high up religious figure to judge us on weather we shall or shall not enter the gates of heaven.

And to whoever says God or Jesus Hates Transgender people is the sinner as God loves everyone even if they are a sinner as we all are sinners.

p.s My parents and family still love me but wont accept or support me which I accept.

Answer
Dear Friend,

Honor your parents. They are right to support you but not condone your sin. Listen to what they say. The bible says that if you do this you will live a long and wholesome life.


Your condition can be healed and it needs healing. Jesus came and gave us (who follow Him) miracle power. If we pray for you your genetical condition will be healed and you will become normal xy.

So do things God's way as He outlines it in the bible. Follow Jesus and His teachings and believe God for the miracle that is yours. God wishes no one to be confused about their very being the way that you are and , as with any sickness, healing is provided for your as the bible states.... James 5:14


Never give up believing...

God bless
