What Should a Christian's Response be to the Transgender Movement?

[@phil4893]

Ephesians 6: 11-12 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

This message was recommended by Maria Baer on Breakpoint and I'm so glad I listened. I commend you, Pastor, for being bold and courageous but also not arrogant in tackling this topic. We need more men of God to speak up and prepare the Church for how to respond and speak the truth in love. I was especially grateful (and got choked up) at the end when you spoke about Christian teachers in public schools - I am one! - and I covet your prayers!

This was well spoken and so needed. There is so much confusion in today’s culture. Children and teens are so impressionable and they are being misled. May we, as Christ followers, stand upon the Truth of God’s Word, and speak only Truth, unashamedly. The devil aims to kill steal and destroy.

[@shirleyjessee251]

Amen

"to those who preach with hate in your hearts and venom on your tongues, the blood of the innocent is on your hands and no wonder, for even his deciples preach hateful lies as if it was my truth they will lead you my flock into the Dens of wolves to be devoured. There is nothing wrong with trans people, you are being lead astray. It's not a social contagion. The rhetoric you hear now is the same rhetoric used in 1936. The Berlin institute for gender studies operated by magnis hirshfield, look it up. It will change your mind.

[@debbiecase4629]

Thank you for being bold and preaching God’s Word.

[@deborahwood553]

Thank you Pastor Chad for being bold to teach this timely message that is much needed.

[@AllyssaALewis]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on such an important and sensitive topic. However, I feel compelled to address a specific comment you made during your sermon. When referencing the ad campaign and mentioning the race of the individual (32:23), it was unnecessary and perpetuated a harmful stereotype about African American men. As a Black woman and a fellow believer, I find it troubling when racial biases, even subconsciously, infiltrate discussions within the church. Such moments alienate members of the community and undermine the inclusivity that Christ calls us to embody. I urge you to reflect on how subtle biases may impact your messaging and to consider how your words might resonate with all members of your audience. I pray for continued growth and understanding for us all.

THANK YOU, for your stand on the truth!!! We need a revival of churches preaching the hard messages of truth in order to save our children and their future.

Great message. I found this after a recommendation from Maria Baer from Colson Center Breakpoint This Week podcast.

[@FreeIndeed72]

As a Christian I agree with your message, however what is the solution for a working class person who is a Christian in a secular and woke workplace where using pronouns is required in to keep your job? It's pretty easy to say stand by the truth or don't capitulate with the language of the world when you don't have to worry repercussions that will negatively you and your family. Not to be critical, but I'm not hearing any solution to this problem... Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

[@chimp320k]

As i’m not an expert, please do not take me at face value, but, I would suggest just using neutral terms, as it is not lying, and is neither breaking your store policy or your own personal belief, as well also being loving and caring to those around you. Seems like the best route to me.

[@EnterShaolin]

We ask people their names and simply refer to their name when speaking to them or referring to them. It's how we have found a way to wade through the muddy waters. May YHWH bless you.

If they're not underaged then i dont see the issue... Its their life and as long as their not hurting anyone then im fine with it ig.

The point of treatment is to prevent any child from experiencing the wrong puberty. Doctors took that 0.7%, tried a bunch of treatments over 70 years, and reduced it to 0.001%. Do you want to return to the 0.7%?

This was a great, much needed message. God bless you. PASTOR.

Tranzformed is a good documentary for those needing more info on this topic. Laura Perry Smalts also has a testimony worth watching.

Greetings. I sincerely applaud YOU for standing firmly on GOD HOLY WORD. I trust this message will reach the ears for many. Thank you.

[@Yourfriendlynonbinary]

i believe this was quite well spoken especially at the fact that younger kids may not know what they want or who they really are yet and may be confused though i am curious what people who are anti-trans or of the sorts,, what do you guys think about transgender adults? i notice, speaking completely neutrally here that most anti trans people use childeren as a topic because they make being trans look bad, in no way do i think trans males should use female bathrooms, schools teach lgbt stuff, or anything of the sorts FOR KIDS however, as adults, you become more mature, get a grasp on reality yknow? so, is it wrong if you embrace the sex given to you by god, however express yourself in a way you feel happy. christianity is about pledging yourself to god and honoring how he made you, but that doesnt mean you cant change yourself, god doesnt make us with opinions, we develop them over time right? so how different is it if somebody believes theyd feel better to express themselves femenninely than somebody who finds interest in something more girly rather than boy stuff?

[@r-platt]

Gender identity isn't learned but it is discovered. For some it's dead obvious - especially when there's pain driving the discovery. For others it takes years of self reflection. The point of treating children is to prevent any child from experiencing the wrong puberty. Making children wait has LOTS of harmful side effects.

[@pastorstephenmitchell3193]

Well done Pastor

[@n.d.6430]

Pastor im going to Clearify your comment Unbelievers are not a child of God. Only born again are children of God . But Every human is made in the image of God .

[@r-platt]

So we can't all trace our lineage back to Adam?

[@n.d.6430]

@@r-platt r u serious?

[@r-platt]

@@n.d.6430 The only way someone is not a child of God is if they aren't born from the seed of Adam. Right?

[@n.d.6430]

@@r-platt be born again then you are a child of God

[@r-platt]

@@n.d.6430 I like your sentiment. Is there a Bible verse that supports your statement? I was always taught we are all children of God. Those born again are saved from judgement by the Mosaic law. Their names were written in the Book of Life. (Rev 20:11-15)

[@n.d.6430]

Many ppl think kindness is going to a same sex wedding, or embracing the sin and allowing your same sex adult child over for Christmas and they sleep together. . Where is the kindness line . I guess that's when we use God's word when giving a answer why we do not comform it particpate to the sin .

[@oranm9965]

What do you mean same sex adult child over for Christmas and sleeping together what does that even mean

[@sovereigngodlisaloves9525]

I didn't agree with the statements about us having anger because God has anger. The Bible clarifies that man's anger cannot achieve the righteousness of God. James 1:20

[@kathrynpetrick2588]

First not any where close to transgender. I know am a woman and a child of God. Happy that God made me a women. Finically it’s hard because men get paid better….lol but that doesn’t make me want to believe in a lie about my gender. But I do understand how the transgender person feels. I was born with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, I think I accumulated depression since sad things happened to me as a kid and an adult. But it hurts to be label such whether me or others claim that schizophrenia and bipolar disorders are apart of me. It’s not like I want to believe it hurts being special and having comprehension issues in normal day life. Only when I read / highlight God’s word can I understand what God means. For example: it’s hard for me to imagine a way to speak to a transgender in a loving manner. Basically I would need 20-30 demos of how I should speak in a loving kind Christlike manner to a transgender person. I guess it’s just frustrating having our imperfections while living on earth. Only yesterday in all my 32 years have I found (maybe) a solution with a neuropathic doctor. Supposedly they have herbs for my disorder. The only reason I think am finding a solution to the problem now is because somewhere Amos about there’s a time you Israel who prostituted against me. Must live in the same house as your husband…aka God and not be imitate with me, until I say it’s okay for us to be in a relationship again.

I’m very interested in hearing how you felt about what he said? I’d be interested in hearing about your struggles. I personally don’t think being transgender is a sin. The Bible doesn’t support transgender as being sinful.

Do you have any regrets?? Or are you genuinely happy today.

Have you been abused or rejected by a mom, dad or a close relationship when you were young ?
