TRANSGENDERISM – A DEATH SENTENCE
By W. G. Guy
This is a topic that is avoided in the church; but it must be dealt with, and people need to be informed due to how serious this situation is to the well-being of certain souls.
John 10:10 – The thief (Satan) cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.
Satan has used transgenderism and its associated LGBTQ+ ploys to destroy those who are vulnerable. Human vulnerability is centered in lusts as identified by the apostle John.
1 John 2:15-16 – Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
The devil uses the things of the world to tempt and destroy man. He can only work with what God has made, and he operates to pervert, distract and destroy: especially that which was made in the image and likeness of God. He especially opposes God’s purpose in making male and female because God has made each for a specific purpose; and that purpose is PROCREATION.
Genesis 1:27-28 – So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth,…..
Such procreation is not possible in those who live as transgender or LGBTQ+, or whatever.
The topic of transgender begins with those engaged in homosexuality and lesbianism: the destruction of true and pure sexual identity. Consider what God’s Word says about such sinful behavior:
Romans 1:26-27 & 32 – For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. 32 who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
1 Corinthians 6:9 – Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
Satan, the corrupting thief, attacks a vulnerable person that is unsatisfied and disillusioned with who, or what he or she is. “Wouldn’t you like to be like this or that, and experience or have those sorts of benefits and attention”. This can lead to desiring to dress like, or appear to be like, the opposite sex in certain persons. This is referred to as transvestism, or cross dressing. This behavior can progress further and become extreme if not properly dealt with by casting out that evil spirit. This condition is addressed in the Bible, and it applies mostly to disillusioned men whom Satan wants to destroy, but also applies to women,
Deuteronomy 22:5 – The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy God.
Satan’s perversions can progress to efforts to change sexual identity, not only by outward appearance, but in life. However this is impossible through the current process of cosmetic surgery, which only produces mutilated bodies. Why is sex change impossible? Such surgery may change the outer appearance, but it cannot change the God assigned XY (male) and XX (female) chromosomes which is what actually determines the sexual gender.
The result of such surgery to create the opposite gender will only produce an extreme level of confusion in the person as he tries to identify as a female, but his insides continue to live as a male. This is because he still has the XY chromosomes in him: and this cannot be altered by surgery.
The end result of such a mutilating surgery is confusion, mental anguish and anxiety: trying to do the impossible. This often results in mental problems and even suicide. As the title of this article says, “Transgenderism – A Death Sentence”, is explained in scripture:
Deuteronomy 23:1 – He that is wounded in the stones (testicles), or hath his privy member (penis) cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of the Lord.
This passage means that a transgender, male to female, who has had the cosmetic surgery is not accepted by the LORD because he has destroyed what God made him to be. Such godless lusts are sin and defy God, as stated in Romans 1 above. (Could this be like an unpardonable sin for which there is no recourse?)
Preachers need to deal with this topic and warn those unsuspecting and vulnerable people that there is a way to overcome all the temptation and destructive wiles of the devil. This applies to those tending toward the sin of transgenderism, as well as those in the LGBTQ+ group; some of whom are in churches, and even in some pulpits.
1 John 1:8-10 – If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
Transgenderism and LGBT+ is not just sin but an abomination to the LORD because it is a total defiance of His purpose in making man in His image! It is a spiritual death sentence!
