    and its more of a shame when a man (or woman) tries to change their gender.

    touche, not to respond in an "anti-calvinist" manner, but thank you for responding to a childishly immature jab

    I'm not arguing about that. My point is that you're so disgusted by the sin that you're denying the humanity of an image-bearer, to whom you're called to be salt and light. But you don't. You call them "it" and talk about how bad they are.

    That's the real shame.

    The Truth Is......!


    Where I come from and from the Bible I read a person like that qualifies as an abomination.

    I'd like to pose a question for everybody.....Can a transgender "person" who has "had the surgery" be Biblically saved?.....or have they gone too far? Anybody got an answer according to scripture? Just curious....I personally don't know.

    I read where Jesus stated that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is the only unpardonable sin.

    I then read in Romans 1 where some go so far in sin, that God turns them over to a reprobate mind, to that which is unseemly(turning against the natural use of the body), which is something that has apparently happened here.

    All I can say is that they will stand in judgement for what they have done, and no one else.

    We can't know that. We don't when the 'reprobate mind' comes to pass. This would certainly seem beyond that point in my view, but...

    Roger,
    That is a tough one. I do think someone could have had the procedure then be saved by the Lord. Now, after salvation, they might be stuck with the change, not really sure about that one. However, off the top of my head, and this is only opinion, it is hard for me to imagine a saved person making such a choice. That seems vastly different from a Christian slipping back into some sin for a short period of time until the Lord jerks a knot in him.

    I would agree on this. I can't see it, but I do know that Jesus came to save 'the chiefest of sinners' and I would hate to put limits on His grace and mercy.

    No one chooses how he feels or what turns him on.

    Of course he can be saved. One is saved by the power of Christ, not his own will or capacity of rational thought.

    However, unless the surgery can be reversed, a transgendered individual could not be eligible for marriage. He would have to accept the fact he is a eunuch and serve Christ in that capacity.

    I had forgotten about Aaron's comment. Your point is taken. I hope both of you were joking.

    Aaron, how are you doing ole buddy. If that avatar is your real picture, you are looking kind of pale. Maybe you should have that checked out.
