General points about sin:
1. Whenever we move off the foundation of the Bible, we only have man-made ideas left
to choose from. Man is obviously fallible and fickle (Jer 17:9-10).
2. Truth can only be absolute. Relative truth is a logical fallacy and unbiblical.
3. When we don’t find our identity in God, we get distortion and confusion.
4. Sin has a compounding element of deception. First we get tempted and deceived into
sinning (Gen 3:1-7, 1Tim 2:14). Then the sin itself perpetuates further deception (Oba 3,
Rom 7:11, 1Cor 15:33, 2Tim 3:13, Titus 3:3).
Transgenderism:
1. Transgenderism distorts and confuses God’s created natural order of only 2 genders (
Gen 1:26-28, Gen 2:7-25, Mt 19:1-7).
2. Transgenderism blurs the clear lines between genders and violates the Biblical
principle of distinction (Deut 22:5, 1Cor 6:9-11).
3. Transgenderism is rooted in sodomy (male and female) which is clearly condemned
throughout the Old and New Testaments ((Gen 9:20-27, Gen 13:13, Gen 18:17-19:29, Lev
18:1-5, Lev 20:13, Deut 23:17, Deut 29:23, Deut 32:32, Jud ch. 19-21 particularly 19:22-
28, 1Kings 14:22-24, 1Kings 15:11-12, 1Kings 22:43-46, 2Kings 22:1-23:27 particularly
23:7, Eze 16:44-59, Rom 1:18-32 particularly vs. 26-27 and vs. 31-32, 1Cor 6:9-11, and
1Tim 1:9-10). Sodom is used repeatedly as an example of God’s judgment ((Is 1:9 with
Rom 9:29, Is 1:10-20, Is 3:9, Is 13:19, Jer 23:14, Jer 49:17-18, Jer 50:40, Lam 4:6, Amos
4:11, Hab 2:15-16, Zeph 2:9, Mt 10:15, Mt 11:23-24, Mk 6:11, Lk 10:12, Lk 17:29, 2Pet
2:2, and Jude 5-19).
4. Transgenderism involves cross-dressing (Deut 22:5).
5. Transgenderism promotes “gender re-assignment surgery” which is simply body
mutilation (Lev 19:28, Lev 21:5, 1Cor 3:16-17). Body mutilation and cutting are part of
paganism and Satanism (1Ki 18:28).
6. Transgenderism attempts to justify the fulfillment of the lust of the flesh rather than
encouraging self-control (Gal 5:19-22, 1Jn 2:15-17).
7. Transgenderism seeks to redefine marriage (Gen 1:25-28, Gen 2:7-25, Mt 19:1-7).
8. Transgenderism seeks to usurp the authority of God and claim authority to make
decisions God does not authorize (Jer 18:1-6, Rom 9:21).
