Can Christians Support Transgenderism in 2025?Satan often tries to make people unhappy with how God made them...
“13 For You created my innermost parts; You wove me in my mother’s womb. 14 I will give thanks to You because I am awesomely and wonderfully made; wonderful are Your works, and my soul knows it very well. 15 My frame was not hidden from You when I was made in secret, and skillfully formed in the depths of the earth; 16 Your eyes have seen my formless substance; and in Your book were written all the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them.” (Psalm 139: 13-16 NASB) We live in a confused and fallen world, and that madness includes those who are unsure of what sex they are. Those who view their gender as nothing more than a “choice” are rejecting God’s design in creation, denying the proven science of biology. An individual may claim to be transgender or “gender-fluid,” but that doesn’t nullify God’s design and purpose in creating them. Transgenderism’s rapid rise in our culture presents Christians with difficult choices. Discussions about gender fluidity and transsexualism have spread through both secular and Christian circles for years now. Debate continues to swirl around whether or not transgenderism is a sin or a type of mental illness known clinically as gender dysphoria. Transgender ideology rejects the Biblical truth that gender is assigned by God at conception. Male and female characteristics exist long before birth in every cell of every person’s body. God has a plan for each of us that was predetermined before birth. Consider the example of Jeremiah…
A person cannot change their gender. To do so is rebellion against God’s plan for their lives. The truth is that biological sex does not change with alterations in outward appearance, chemical, or surgical procedures. If you put a Corvette body on a Volkswagen, it is still a Volkswagen. Scientific research and common sense prove that men and women have different muscle strength, size, and other obvious physical characteristics. Read my post: The Day the Olympics Died: Men in Women’s Sports Nonsense like transgenderism and gender fluidity is based on the absurd, illogical, and irrational idea that men and women are the same. They are not. God intends us to be equal, different, and complementary… not the same. As always, the Bible is the source of inerrant truth for us…
Transgenderism proponents seek to destroy moral and cultural traditions, including the belief in God’s word. When the Bible was written, there was no such thing as a sex-change operation. The closest Scripture comes to mentioning transgenderism is in its condemnations of homosexuality (Romans 1:18–32; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10) and transvestitism (Deuteronomy 22:5). The Greek word is often translated as “homosexual offenders” or “male prostitutes” in 1 Corinthians 6:9. It literally means “effeminate men.” So, while the Bible does not directly contain the word transgenderism when it mentions other instances of gender disorders, it clearly identifies them as sin. What to do? As Christians, we are to show the love of Christ the way that He did while on earth to each transgender person we encounter at work or socially. Whatever choices we make about using preferred pronouns, it’s important that one does not give the appearance of endorsing sexual sin or a transgender’s self-deception. As Christians, we also need to be careful to not give the impression that we agree with the idea of preferred pronouns. Using those words only works to enable that person to believe what they are doing as a transexual is acceptable before God. It is not. Isaiah warns us not to speak or write in ways that agree with something that is false…
As Christians, we need to prayerfully consider these concerns regarding how, or if, to use someone’s preferred pronouns. Truth is important, but that does not mean the choice not to use preferred pronouns needs to be handled in a judgmental way. Consider how Jesus dealt with the woman at the well in chapter 4 of the Gospel of John...
Jesus did not make her sexual sin the main point of His conversation with her. Instead, he gently told her about how salvation was available to her in the same way it is available to all of us. Finally, we must act to protect our children and grandchildren. We must not allow them to become confused about whether or not they are a boy or girl. Radical leftist teachers and for-profit media companies that place doubts in the minds of these children are engaging in abusive behavior. Christians, even if they have no children of their own must stand up to local school boards and entertainment companies to end these “recruitment” practices. Anything less denies innocent children the ability to grow and mature with confidence in a loving and just God. As Luke wrote…
