wow you just cant accept that people are different can you?

Well since I am sure people are going to be surprised by this:

Andrej Pejic
Male (Born male, acts male, and yet looks feminine)
6'2"

No Hormones, No nothing, just purely xy male and no conditions, and yet looks very female.

So what do you have to say to that?

uh....okay?
i see it on TV all the time.
and in subcultures. and ever more in the mainstream of society.

i also see it being allowed into the church. as "christian" LGBT PORN....wrapped up as "help me i'm different"

so?

CONFESS and REPENT of it.
LEAVE IT BEHIND.
or not.
just please stop trying to have it VALIDATED by the Bible.
please.

1 Corinthians 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

please and thank you.

struggling and trying to turn from it, great...right there with ya, and for ya.
defending and trying to tittilate others with it? NO. < sin...call it what it is.

dunno...maybe some like it.
i have my own problems.

frankly i find this particular realm of sin sickening.
sorry if that offends you. you could always whip out the "oh you are making us sad and hurt" card
STOP ADVANCING IT THEN.

if i sit behind a dumpster on skid row or use old needles and swig out of a bottle i should expect to be mugged or get HIV or worse eventually.
LIKE? hello?

like....what do you want exactly?

i agree on all counts Sarah.



i have suffered as well...intensely, and continue to:



this is a tooth with a mercury filling, off-gassing mercury vapour 24/7.
i had 28 grams of mercury in my teeth for 30 years....The Lord supernaturally intervened and somehow a Christian dentist pulled some strings with two family insurance policies and i had it all removed and got veneers & implants - nice and white and shiny:D

i feel much better but still suffer the effects of the poisoning.
i leave it to anyone who cares to find out if this outrage was intentional or not (it was and is).

if you have suffered or do suffer from this, knowledge is helpful...

Mercury poisoning (also known as hydrargyria or mercurialism) is a disease caused by exposure to mercury or its compounds. Mercury (chemical symbol Hg) is a heavy metal occurring in several forms, all of which can produce toxic effects in high enough doses. Its zero oxidation state Hg0 exists as vapor or as liquid metal, its mercurous state Hg22+ exists as inorganic salts, and its mercuric state Hg2+ may form either inorganic salts or organomercury compounds; the three groups vary in effects. Toxic effects include damage to the brain, kidney, and lungs.[1] Mercury poisoning can result in several diseases, including acrodynia (pink disease),[2] Hunter-Russell syndrome, and Minamata disease.[3]
Symptoms typically include sensory impairment (vision, hearing, speech), disturbed sensation and a lack of coordination. The type and degree of symptoms exhibited depend upon the individual toxin, the dose, and the method and duration of exposure.

Mercury poisoning - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia < click


the effects of this ruined my life. but i have learned to forgive...Jesus saved me AND showed me the truth.
that's all i care about:)


"Mad as a hatter" is a colloquial phrase used in conversation to refer to a crazy person. In 18th and 19th century England mercury was used in the production of felt, which was used in the manufacturing of hats common of the time. People who worked in these hat factories were exposed daily to trace amounts of the metal, which accumulated within their bodies over time, causing some workers to develop dementia caused by mercury poisoning. Thus the phrase "Mad as a Hatter" became popular as a way to refer to someone who was perceived as insane

I believe and accept and embrace every defect God's given me, and, not that I don't believe in synthetic medicines to heal, I do, but only in relation to the Lord's leading me to see I am to choose them for 'such a time as this,' ohzone :)

Note: 'defects' are merely in word only, of He who created me I am perfectly who He created me to be, no regrets,ever, never, ever of who God made me to be chromosomes and gened and DNA'd . :)

so if a woman looks masculine and people would say they are male, and a male looks feminine and people say they are female, they go to hell for looking a certain way?

please don't play games.
i can't stand the games.

my daughter started her first semester at college this year.
unannounced and without notice, in came an LGBTI group who proceeded to get in their faces and tell them "this is how it's going to be"...."you will not say this or this or that or that"...."we now prefer to be called this or that or such and such"..."ANYBODY GOT A PROBLEM WITH THAT?"

and there will now be signs on restrooms:

MEN
WOMEN
OTHER

and you will SHUT UP AND LIKE IT.

up here we can do jail time for offending LGBT....so please don't tell me you're a victim.

so....sorry....don't play the game with me.
i don't have time or patience.

CHRIST CRUCIFIED.
mean much to you?

or are you more interested more in makeup and dresses?
that's fine but some of us want to STOP sinning - it has taken some of us a long time to find out what sin is, accept it about ourselves and stop it.

some of us are not willing to change the definitions of sin. you can if you want to.

anyway....i for one won't be validating your pet sin. ok?
i have my own problems.
goodnight.

No.

The power of the Spirit, God, He on your life overshadows all else, why not let Him lead you , through this revelation clearly given by you to wholeheartedly accept, and, embrace this understanding newfound. Remember, Scripture says you will have to leave your mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, that is, those who cause you to stumble, and, really leave, should, when you fall, pun intended.

Intersex? Awesome, God's showing you YOURSELF different than others and, like Rudolph, you will be ridiculed, even persecuted, since a Christian. But God is bigger in your temple being than He who is Satan ROAMIng in this world, plainly.You see him, right now, by those willing to judge you to unrighteousness. Again, the Word is true and you will ONLY know the Word's Truth for you by Him in you leading. Revealed Truth by the HOLY SPIRIT. Don't condemn others , you only condemn youself. :(
The Lord leads. Graciously accept His life for you, that doing will have great effect on your earthly life , which He formed you, birthed you to be on . Heaven, too, will be a grand effect too by you for here what you 'accept' to be led to, strickman :)

First, I believe God loves you and surely He wants you to keep following Him.
Second, if you are born a male, then you are a male. I'd encourage you to pray that God helps you to be a real man with wisdom.
Third, I think there is a benefit in your situation. I bet you can relate to women better than most guys can do, so that means, it would be easier for you to minister to women. Ever think that it might be your calling? :)
Fourth, with the people around you not supporting you, you apparently got more exam on the forgiveness lesson. :) With God, you can do it!

God bless you, and chin up! :D

I am not going to read all the posts, but I will give SCRIPTURE that states that no person is born two genders... Enuchs has NOTHING to do with sexual preferences... or sexual inclanations... It has to do with ABSTAINING FROM ALL SEX... CHOOSING TO REMAIN UNTOUCHED! Like Paul, and he was no enuch. It aslo means they might just be very small, it does nt mean they cannot have sex. I know one personally, and he is as man as I am in ALL other aspects of life.

Doctors are so clever, but even to their own admission they only know about 30% of what really goes on in a person. God knows 100% and God will NEVER make a young boy half boy half girl. I know there are two types of children, unclean and holy, but God can SAVE BOTH when they come to him. (1 Cor 7) No medical or physical or mental condition can stand against God.

The only people I know that has a problem with their GENDER is in that problem becasue they created that problem, and the doctors give them all these "medical" conditions, but it is all a load of rubbish. God does not make mistakes, we do! And we will try to justify EVERYTHING evil we do, that is just part of our misguided society.

God's truth is... some were meant to be married and some not, even Jesus was not married. Did he have a sexual orientation problem? NO! Did Paul? NO! Does my friend, or the other four as well.... NO! They just do not want to get married or have mates. Yet they are very dedicated to God.

I wonder if I can blame God that I was born a sinner, an adulterer, a murderer and a theif. Maybe the doctors can give me an fance explaination as well. If I want to have sex with another man's wife outside my marriage as well, it has NOTHING to do with medical reasns, it is me doing sin. PERIOD.

All the soft words of a clever doctor is not going to save you from sinning. Just as I have to withold myself from wantng other women, so does a gay have to learn to control himself, and a crosdresses himself. Sin is sin, and God has a way out, that WAY is called Jesus. Repent and be baptized. REPENT from ALL SIN! and God will Baptize you with a NEW heart, that has NO interest in sin!

The ONLY WAY to please God, is to REPENT and recieve the NEW HEART.... One that CAN ONLY OBEY GOD.... Called REBORN OF GOD!
Every person has his or her own sin to repent from, and if you want to soften the repenting buisness, then you are like all the other false teachers.... Soft on the ears, but way off the Truth.

Things doctors cannot heal or change, God does in a moment.... One woman in the Bible bled for weeks, and she spent all her money on these clever doctors, then she just touched the hemn of Jesus as he struggled to alk through a pressing croud, and Jesus felt the power that healed her.... Read about it in Luke 8:43 to 48.

RUBBISH.
believe what the scriptures say.

this threat the GLBTIABCFMBGYTP agenda is forcing on us is another guilt-PC-driven device to SILENCE God. i don't mean you personally. i think you're a victim of it.
this is degradation of sexuality WEAPONIZED...it's a delibrate attack on the established ORDER - LOGOS.

"They had to transition or deal with thier intersex condition"

how about this:

"They had to.....deal with thier......condition" < just like i couldn't keep listening to psychologists and AA tell me alcoholism was something i was born with and it wasn't my fault.

maybe the tendency to black-out drunks was genetic. and maybe it wasn't my fault an uncle gave me a drink at 9 or that my Sugar-Pops started the addiction to sugar.

but it is my responsibility to smarten up and get sober, and realize i SHOULDN'T DRINK.

just like GLBTI + whatever comes next need to smarten up and realize they shouldn't mess around with stuff God doesn't like.

stop blaming suicide on others < wicked device to guilt us into being quiet.

get help.



sigh.
attracted or not - DON'T DO IT.
or don't say you believe the Bible.
repent and confess.

leave it behind...move away.
it's NOT ok.
read what it says.

you're just like the rest of us...a sinner who needs to align yourself as best you can with what God said...not create a goddess idol god who says she'll turn you into a woman (lesbian).....come on! you're running with the wrong crowd.
Those of us dealing with this if we are truly honest with ourselves we are not the innocent victims that we so much want to come across as. Even though one is dealing with it we must also dealing with all the things that we have done because of it. Not one of us has dealt with this as we should have from the beginning. Every single one of us have lied or we are lying now,most of us have stolen (borrowed things without someone else's permission),many of us have abused drugs and alcohol,and a lot of us try self murder. Never mind the people we have hurt along the way. Never mind the fact we do not want to deal with these things first. Do we really believe that changing our bodies is somehow going to make all that right? Do we really believe that somehow God is going to look away from all the rest of this? Perhaps the reason we deal with so much guilt is because the guilt is real,we are guilty of breaking God's laws. Never mind the fact that the psychiatrists and psychologists never want to touch these things,it's just put a band aid on it and hope for the best.

If we would get to the point of dealing with things first,the body becomes far less of a problem,we can then get to the point of being content in whatever situation. God never said that everything we would go through is good,His promise is that He would work all things for our good,for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes. But it will be within the limits that He has set for us. They are not meant for our harm but for our good. When we will learn that when God says thou shalt not it is meant for our own good,do we really think then when God says man shall not lie with man that He meant it to hurt us? If we believe that God is good then why do we think that when God gives us those boundaries that He is trying to hurt us and take our "fun" away? He knows in all these things they will kill us in the end,and that includes mentally,emotionally,spiritually,and physically.

God said our spirits call Him Abba Father (actually it's closer to daddy) Where does God ever say otherwise that He is to be seen as mother?

Perhaps part of what we get from others is brought on by ourselves. When do we seek forgiveness for our own short comings from others? When do they see us walking in humility as broken,hurting people and not filled with pride? When do they see us not acting as if the world revolves around us and that somehow our suffering is a better brand of suffering then anyone else's? Then so many of us have the gall to throw it someone else's face and somehow act as if it doesn't affect them also. How many boyfriends and girlfriends lives have been complicated because we cause them to question themselves? How many marriages have been shattered because we somehow think it's all about us? How many children have been affected because of our own selfishness? Do we really think that God will somehow overlook the fact that we make vows before God and man that we will be husbands and wives and then somehow God will give us a pass because we have complicated the marriage and it cause it to fail? God has dealt with me on all of this,and it is no fun seeing it this way. Perhaps if we got off our high horse and started dealing with it in the manner that God wants,and see the sins we have done because of it and quit justifying our behavior,lay it all down at the foot of the cross,and let go of our way in this,He will give us the grace and power to overcome this in His time and His way. We just need to humble ourselves before Him and hold on and obey Him.

my husband is effeminate. But he doesnt go around trying to solve the problem. I know men who look more like women and women who look more like men. And they dont go around trying to solve their flaws. Today so many people want to fit in and solve the problem. And it makes their problems much worse. I think it's better to accept the problem and know you will always have that problem. Rather than try to morph or distort it. By having plastic surgery, or by trying to hide the shamefullness of it. Or by inviting justification for sin. By trying to fix it. Because fixing it doesn't make it better. The bible talks about being effeminate, but trying to fix it leads to cross-dressing, and more justification for it. Abuses settle in, in alot of cases because of justification of what God condemns. Because of radical rebellion and pride. Like Cain he didnt bare the shame and abide as God's servant still. Even though his offering wasn't acceptable to God. But when Cain sought to justify himself he was worse off than before. WHen he could have just dealt with it. But Jesus bore your shame on the cross. And God calls us to despise the shame like him and take up our cross daily. People know Christians by their fruits of the spirit, not by those who are eye pleasers. You know your problem and what it entails. But if you are a christian he doesn't condemn you but the sin. God loves you. Some people just cant be like the others. Some people dont experience the benefits others do. But contentment in Christ is great gain. it's better to enter into life halt, being ridiculed and not being acceptable. Then to seek after justifaction for who you are on the inside. Justification comes from God.To go beyond that is to seek our own self- righteousness. But there is so much acceptance in Christ.

Matthew 18:8
8 Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire.

I want to ECHO what has been said by an Author who is Transgender and Christian: This is also how I feel and what I want you to hear from me:

"I will close with this. I know there are many Christians who will discount everything I have said and done as heretical and completely unscriptural. But I warn them to be careful. I have the witness of the Holy Spirit in my life and in the same way I cannot judge anyone’s standing in the Lord, no one except the Lord can judge my standing in Him. To attribute what I have experienced and how God has worked in my life to the works of Satan is to run the risk of attributing the works of the Holy Spirit in my life to Satan. In this regard, you can add all gay, lesbian, bisexual, queer and transgender Christians’ experience of God in their lives. Do not blaspheme the Holy Spirit by declaring their experiences as counterfeits and invalid. As was the case for the early church, when the Holy Spirit was poured out among the uncircumcised gentile believers and the church had to change its theology to accommodate this new God experience, we need to be careful today that our theology is not so inflexible that we run the risk of putting God, the Holy Spirit in a box of our own design."

Strickolator: I read the first part of the OP. Being a Christian is a CHOICE a person makes. If you choose to be, you are. No one can take that away from you. You can Choose to give it up if you want, but who, in their right mind, would...right?
There are forces working against you....forces that want to stop what God has planned for you. The kingdom of darkness also has plans for you....and the first one is to STOP you from fulfilling your destiny in the Kingdom of Heaven....GOD'S PLAN.
The things going on in your body are things that the enemy tampered with before you were born...most likely due to generational curses in your family. You need deliverance and healing. Remember...ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!! There is an AWESOME journey ahead of you. You cannot begin to believe how God desires to use you for the furtherance of His Kingdom!
The question is this: Will you pursue Him and willing take the 'not-always-so-easy-journey' so that you can fulfill His plan for your life?

oh maggie stop it.
stop passing the buck to dead ancestors!
and stop blaming everything on SATAN!

the only remedy is REPENTANCE and the forgiveness of sins through Christ - The Cross - not some dumb formula from wazzizface Wagner.

The Sins of Generational Curse Teaching

What is the harm in playing a little fast and loose with Scripture and saying a few extra prayers? Here is an incomplete list of the detrimental effects of generational curse. It:

-denies the sufficiency of Scripture and requires that human-generated tests, rites, and formulas be added to the Word of God (compare 2 Timothy 3:15&#8211;17; 2 Peter 1:3&#8211;8).
-denies the completed work of Christ on the cross.
-creates a Jesus-plus gospel (see Galatians 1:6&#8211;9).
-denies the biblical teaching of personal responsibility.
-moves us a step closer to the paganism out of which we were called.
-puts undue emphasis on the works of men, thus flirting again with a works-based relationship with God.

But where in that are some of the fruits of the spirit that is a mark of the Holy Spirit working in our lives? The fruits of the Spirit are love,joy,peace,patience,goodness,kindness,gentleness,faithfulness,and self-control.
Where is the self control? The Lord tells us to be ye Holy for I am Holy. Paul is very clear what the root cause of homosexuality,lesbianism,and bisexuality and it's lust. Jesus is very cleat that if one even looks at a women with lust in their heart it is adultery. Does Jesus speak the truth or not? If you say that Jesus is wrong you make Him out to be a liar.

Yes you are right I do have to deal with the transgender issues,but there are boundaries. No matter how much we want to slice it,dice it,and put it in the blender,there will always be boundaries that are meant for our good. Please go ahead and show me where being LGB is good. Please show me that there are not dangerous and deadly health issues. Perhaps God is showing us that there are very real consequences for going against His will for us. It's to get us to think. It's to show us that His ways are right and good for us.

Paul also warns us about not being a stumbling block to others. We are also to walk humbly with our God. Where is the humility? We are warned that pride goes before a fall. What do you think is at the root of the term "Gay Pride"?

Do you have anyone that is keeping you accountable both to the Lord and to them? I will tell how the Lord is keeping me accountable. First I do live with my mom whom I am caretaker of,I am also at a Lutheran Church Missouri,within that I am accountable to the members both at the church and also within the context of a seniors Bible study. My best friend is also a pastor who came out of that same church. Four other friends are also pastors. Two of which are pastors in that same church,one Baptist pastor and another non-denom who does have the gift of discernment. I would much rather that then start going down a path that in the long run is going to lead to even more problems then I already have.

The Lord will give us the strength to overcome this if we remain humble before Him and obey. His promise is that we will not have to deal with this forever,it is only for this time and season. Please take this to heart,it has helped me a lot with dealing with this,it is His promise

Romans 8


18 I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. 19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children of God to be revealed. 20 For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that[h] the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.

22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. 23 Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in this hope we were saved. But hope that is seen is no hope at all. Who hopes for what they already have? 25 But if we hope for what we do not yet have, we wait for it patiently.

26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. 27 And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. 29 For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 30 And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.


We only have to deal with it in this life,and it's His promise that our bodies will be redeemed and we will be as God intended us from the beginning.

There are forces working against you....forces that want to stop what God has planned for you. The kingdom of darkness also has plans for you....and the first one is to STOP you from fulfilling your destiny in the Kingdom of Heaven....GOD'S PLAN.
The things going on in your body are things that the enemy tampered with before you were born...most likely due to generational curses in your family. You need deliverance and healing. Remember...ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE WITH GOD!! There is an AWESOME journey ahead of you. You cannot begin to believe how God desires to use you for the furtherance of His Kingdom!
The question is this: Will you pursue Him and willing take the 'not-always-so-easy-journey' so that you can fulfill His plan for your life?

Sorry I disagree. The pray the demons out of me bit from all that I have talked to has never worked. What does Satan have to do with the fact that the world is broken and does not work perfectly anymore. What does that have to do with humans using chemicals that should have been tested far more then they are to see what the long term consequences were? Are you going to tell me that my sister who was born with far more defects then most was because Satan did it to her or that God zapped her? Did Satan somehow cause her to be born with Arnold Charis syndrome,a spina bifada,a hole in her heart,a half a brain and so many others or was it a direct result of the fact that my mother was an emergency room nurse who had to handle drop ether and other medications and it was the drop ether that caused it? We live in a world where is in decay including our DNA. Things do not work perfectly anymore and they will not till Jesus returns. But the key to all of this is how we deal with it,there is a right way and a wrong way. And we will be held accountable for the choices we make with it.
