Hi, I'm Gerlinde, and I live in Berlin, capital of Germany. I work in an office to help physically challenged people to know in Berlin, where they can go. I used the Mormons, where I was excommunicated in 1992 because of transsexuality. I am interested in religion, but would like to join any church. Not only because of my negative experiences with the Mormons, but also because of the experience of churches after the excommunication. For this purpose, I may be able to say something more later. I like writing, have also published articles and short stories (unfortunately all in German), and currently writing my first screenplay. Therein it is important that we all have secrets, and how we handle it when a secret is out.
Welcome, May our Almighty Lord guide you, always!
Life was never easy since Adam and Eve commited sin.
To follow Jesus is not easy also.
But, we shall fight the good fight, as Paul and many others did.
I don't have much psichologic nor biological knowledge about GLBT, but the few things I know, including Bible orientation is, woman should marry man and multiplicate mankind. I don't judge your past, as Jesus didn't judge me, when He called. He just said to me: your sins are forgiven, go, and don't commit other sins. (Then, I studied the Bible - again, [cause my family and I were dissociated from Jehova's Witness because my father needed blood transfusion, and the JW doesn't accept it], I repented and baptized by water immersion as the Holy Word demands)
Jesus wants to transform you inside, not outside. He doesn't make partiality. Even if you made sex surgery, for your own personal reason and life history, He is still seeing who you are. Even if anyone has tattoed all body before convertion, God will still give a new body when He returns. Don't be detached to material, but spiritual.
Paul killed many christians before he converted. There is no single that never commited sin. We were born sinners. Once you meet Jesus, and accepted Him as your only saviour, your life is transformed.
I advise you to search a Church where they baptize through water immersion, teatch the Truth well, are lovely and warm people who reflects the image of the Lord.
Myself, I go to Assembly of God, nearby my house, cause I was uncredibly well accepted, I really felt the Holy Spirit there, as if each brother and sister were a new family member. I pray for you to find a good Church, always ask God's guidance to open your eyes to verify if the church you go obey the Word of God.
Don't let anyone change or scare the holy spirit inside.
We had a long journey since Christ came for the first time, much thing has changed in all fields.
James 1:
(KJV)
23 "For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, {and} to keep himself unspotted from the world."
John 6:37
(KJV)
"All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out."
Matthews 11:28
(KJV)
"Come unto me, all {ye} that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
There's lot to talk.
Private message me any time.
God Bless you,
Mariana.
