God & Gender: God's Design for Men & Women (Part 1) // Mike Novotny // Time of Grace

In the beginning, when everything was perfect, God created people. Not only did he create Adam and Eve “in his image,” he also “created them male and female.” This message lays the foundation for our faith when it comes to gender, a faith in the Father who loves everyone of the children he has created.

There is always something different, graceful, every time I hear you.

I think this is what I needed. The devil wanted and still wants to confuse me. He wants to make it seem to me like as if God Is injust, but He Isn't. He Isn't. Thank You Jesus He Isn't🔥🔥.

If God says we're fearfully and wonderfully created by Him and He creates us male and female (not a "they" or an "it") and if He says that those who practice homosexuality will have no part in the kingdom of God, how can we act like it's okay to accept the "choice" of people who want to change the person (gender) God created them to be? They can have all the surgery they want, but their core DNA and chromosomes are who God created them to be. I know that God would still have us be loving, but to act like it's okay seems to fly in the face of God's word. I'm confused by this message and I know God isn't a God of confusion.

I've had many talks about this topic, and many others about God's intention behind his word, his actions, and how we should act. And there's many things to think about, and consider when it comes to this particular subject. To start off, over the years of humanity, with how the human body has changed over time due to many circumstances (like when the medieval people would have incest to preserve their bloodline, and various other things in our history that changed how out dna worked), there have been cases where the baby's dna didn't really produce one Gender, but rather they get born with both the male, and female genatalia. It's a very rare case, but out of the billions of humans that exist, it's not a surprise to know that there would be a community of people like that. And in turn it calls into question what your gender is if you believe you're either a man or woman. You could either roll with whatever is dominant, or consider that god made you the way you were, and sticking by this in between state of sorts. If they're changing their gender manually, there may be a case to say that technically it's not truly possible per se due to how you're just changing your genatalia per se, along with other surgies possibly. ..But at the end of the day that choice isn't ours, nor is it god's technically speaking, as god gives us the free will to choose whatever we want. Further about it, as far as sexuality goes, that's a loaded topic for the in between situation, as if you have a situation where you're unsure, and you follow god, I'd probably say you'd need to have deep talks with the lord and get his feedback on what gender to go for per se. Though I can't blame those who are trans going for a similar gender, or anything at all if they believe, because it's hard to figure out. That being said, when it comes to the topic of sin. If we are rolling with this trans situation of sexuality and such, and us not being okay with them per se, I think we need to be more in the middle. Yes, the bible says 3 different times about homosexuality not being good, but keep in mind that god created choice, and technically sin itself by creating the ability for there to be a opposite of holy living per se. This was made so that we didn't follow god like a machine, and we could not just choose him because he's the righteous father, but we can also love him. Simply put, you can't love something that's not your choice per se. ..So while one may look at something, and say it's sin. ..It may be sin, and you can say it's a sin, but us as people of faith should be able to show love, and compassion for those who walk their own path, whether it be through Christ, or not. As far as what gender those who are in between truly are, I believe that's something to be revealed in heaven, and until then, we need to show them love and support when they feel those of faith don't do so. I hope this helps, and have a nice day :)

Ikr, but you just got to just accept that person , pray for that person and see what happens if they change then their choice to deal with and not yours so don't feel overwhelmed about and just let God deal with

I am looking forward to hearing next week's message. I have to hear all of your messages first before I make a final decision in what you are saying. I believe in the Holy Bible and God made male and female. I believe that their is only marriage between one man + one woman. A man is a leader, provider and protector of his family. He is to love his wife. The woman is a helper, is to submit and respect her husband, is nurturer of the family, and keeper of the home. I will have to wait to hear all messages before I agree to what you are saying but by hearing this message only I agree with it.

[@mgsgamer8340]

Gloria I don’t know who said that, but everyone nurtures the family equally. Either way, good job!

[@marciethomas5766]

I see several comments have been removed. When the Bible was written, was the pronoun 'him' as in man, meant human and not male as it is today. Jesus talks about eucnch that is not 100% male, by some reasoning we can also say there might not have been 100% female as think of female today.

7Jesus replied, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by His own authority. 8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” Acts 7-8 Pastor I happen to run across this video come and it's interesting because I do a radio podcast Wednesday and Fridays and Sundays title: The book of Revelation broadcast: he's coming back soon Hosted by myself Evangelist Jenny Williams Well I can appreciate the heavy Grace aspect you use in speaking on this topic, but at the same time I can always tell when there are some believers who have not experienced the 2nd experience after salvation which is the baptism in the holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the spirit gives utterance. It's interesting because Jesus forbade the disciples to go in judea, Samaria and all the other parts of the Earth to do what he trained and disciple them to do which was take a death walk to their flesh. When we look at Jesus, and the disciples before his crucifixion in the three years of training them you can see the power of the holy Ghost working already when it came to miracles, and especially the casting out of unclean spirits and people. The casting out of unclean spirits and people is vital, because the same way the spirit of God works in us as individuals so is the same way as unclean spirits working in people. Apparently, with so many people it seems that has this issue coming to your church it seems listening to your videos you are more trying to transform believers more so in the area of compassion (which is needed), and understanding of this condition. Which is really not so much a condition but the presence of unclean spirits they need to be delivered from to gain a greater hold, or traction of the power of Jesus Christ to heal their real identity they were born with. It's interesting because the agenda of this behind the scenes of the homosexual movement is they have no basis in truth to stand on. So, the agenda is being successful in conditioning people to be understanding, and accepting so as to make it easier for them to remain comfortably in this behavior. That's from the Old testament to the New testament God forbid it. What you miss is when we look at Romans 1 when Paul talked of God turning most over to a reprobate mind. That means for those (and only God knows the heart of those who fit this) were turned over to do those things that were unnatural no longer having the ability to have the truth of God's word penetrate their minds and hearts. Meaning, if you reduce this to its lowest terms. God turn them over with a curse with an inability to never again know salvation. As well, there are those in 1st Corinthians 6 when Paul named those that would not inherit the kingdom of God except they had been washed, cleansed and sanctified by the power of the holy Ghost. This was that percentage of those who once walked in homosexuality still had a measure of sensitivity to God's word, and Truth enabling them to be set free. I'm not quite sure if what you have written, and teach maybe more spiritually harmful than helpful, because if they are getting any insinuation from you that the two opposite spectrums can somehow blend together, and be acceptable in God's eyes. If I were you I would seek God to give you this baptism in the holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues, because your passivity as a pastor right now seems to be more harmful than helpful. I don't know what level of spiritual authority when it comes to prayer as it relates to ministry in the church your body has, but if all there is is teaching from the standpoint of like therapeutic/psychological counseling is it. Then I boldly say you not teaching the whole counsel of the Bible from Genesis to Revelations, because if they're comfortable to some degree in that level of spiritual possession then you have dropped the ball

lots of talk, very little substance pertaining to the question at hand. Going to Pt 2 in hopes you get to the meat of the subject.
