      Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused but it doesnt happen to everyone that was abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex but opposite in gender. Notice, God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships.
      Rapture is when God's true people shine like the sun right here on earth. It is not what most people think. Malachi 4:2-4. Read it. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing won't make it. Same sex marriage is not a sin. God prefers it. Male or female is determined by gender located in the brain. *
      Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. That means everyone has their own choice to make.
      **
      Jesus is NOT God.
      Malachi 3:8-10 is talking to the church leaders. Malachi 2 clearly states it is addressing the priests/ church leaders. It is prophetic instruction for them to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering then God will end Covid and throw open the floodgates but only if church leaders repent. Moneary tithing is a lie and selling anything using the gospel is evil.
      Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. Thats it. Anyone that continues to teach monetary tithing lies chooses to die with the wicked.
      I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and my preaching will cause a redistribution of wealth through the banks..

      Do you ever wonder why LGBTQ people’s relationships are reduced to sex only? Why is it that when we talk about straight couples we mention things like commitment, support, love, monogamy, fidelity, romance, friendship etc. but for queer folks all you seem to believe they are capable of, is lusting after one another for physical sex. Do you see how slanted and ignorant that is?

    The exegesis is rather thin here. That Genesis 1:27 refers to equal dignity for men and women under God does not eliminate the other valid interpretation that God created the human species with two genders. Likewise, if it is anachronistic to say that sexual practices in Ancient Roman times are not like today, it is likewise anachronistic to suggest that eunuchs are equivalent to something like sexual minorities of our time. As to the former, Paul is clear in Romans 1:26-27 that the sexual perversion he is referring to is mutual and consensual by using the phrase "consumed with passion for one another." As to the latter, Isaiah's reference to eunuchs does not provide a positive description of homosexual practice being moral in God's eyes, and neither does Jesus' statement about eunuchs. In all of Scripture there is not a single positive affirmation of homosexual practice; there are represented, however, every category of ethical prohibition in the Bible. If we care about people experiencing same-sex attraction or gender dysphoria, we should call out the deceit that would encourage them to identify with unnatural and sinful practices and lead them to Christ where they can find peace and wholeness.

      On the other hand, my gay friends who are in a monogamous marriage are happy and love each other. But they are pro heterosexual marriage.

      It's not an assumption. That's what they were. They were men who had crushed testicles, or were effeminate who helped take care of royal and important women, like putting on their makeup and dressing women.
      They were a sexual and gender minority, who were put in charge of women because they would not have feelings for the women they took care of. That is not an assumption. It is a biblical and historical fact.

    If abusive or oppressive power dynamics are not involved, is sexual sin/immorality a possibility? In 1 Corinthians 6:18 is sexual immorality only talking about power, or is it talking about a form of sexuality which falls outside of the perfect design given in the garden?

      Jesus is the only one in scriptures who is omniscient, and truly knew God. Most of the old testament is pointing to Jesus and the words in the New Testament that happen after Jesus's death are leading to his second coming. Jesus's words are the most important because Jesus speaking is God speaking.

    The scriptures clearly condemns such sexual acts, but also it teaches us that we should love everyone.
    And the truest form of love is to worry about someone’s eternal life, to love someone is to help them repent their sins so they can be accepted in heaven instead of affirming their sins to lead them to away from God.
    Jesus will accept everyone no matter what their sins as long they repent and celebrate or live for their sins

    16:00 quote by Sandra Glahn- intersex is not a term used in scripture. the terms male/female used in scripture. Your explanation of this quote followed by the Genesis creation reference, are trying to tie the creation of two genders, male and female aka them, as some abstract 3rd gender.
    I would agree Christlikeness is not gendered, because God addresses both sexes/genders.
    Gender Dysphoria- glad you addressed this. I think these sections helped me out.
    Discrimination against LGBT+ people is wrong. HOWEVER, outright acceptance of their sin does not reflect Christ. I don't mind accepting my friends, but accepting their actions, affirming their marriages for example is profoundly antibiblical (source: Matthew 19, Hebrews 13:4).
    A full embrace of the people is definitely scriptural. but a full embrace of sin is not.

    Thomas Boston: "The natural man's affections are wretchedly misplaced; he is a spiritual monster. His heart is where his feet should be--fixed on the earth; his heels are lifted up against heaven--which his heart should be set on, Acts 9:5. His face is towards hell, his back towards heaven; and therefore God calls to him to turn. He loves what he should hate, and hates what he should love. He joys in what he ought to mourn for, and mourns for what he should rejoice in. He glories in his shame, and is ashamed of his glory. He abhors what he should desire, and desires what he should abhor, Proverbs 2:13-15. They hit the point indeed, as Caiaphas did in another case, who cried out against the apostles, as men that turned the world upside down, Acts 17:6; for that is the work which the gospel has to do in the world, where sin has put all things so out of order, that heaven lies under, and earth a-top."

    All people are loved by God and His Church, but all sin is despised by God and His Church. Among the many sins we can commit, having homosexual relations, not just affections, but relations, as well as manipulating our bodies to try and be someone other than, instead of who God has created us to be, and forcing others to go along with our false identity are among them. Lying to people about this does actual harm to them, at the very least spiritually. A eunuch is a man who either cannot, or does not have sex for whatever reason. Not a sexual and gender minority in the modern sense. And, Jesus flipping over the tables in the temple had nothing to do with oppression and marginalization in the context of being a sexual or gender minority. You are rewriting history to fit a modern narrative, and are therefore lying, either wittingly or unwittingly, to your flock. If people are not told the truth, how can they be saved? For, it is the truth that sets us free.

    This is false and misleading information you are giving the public. Just the very first allegation, that there are three s3×es, is flat out false. There are only two s3×es. Inters3× is a medical condition that makes determining a person's s3× more difficult, not a third category of s3×. Humans only have two arms, yet there are people who are born with only one arm, or one arm shorter than the other. Does that mean that human arms is a spectrum? That humans are born with any number of arms? No. Humans have two arms unless disease, defect or injury causes a change to their arms. This is what inters3× is, a birth defect. Also, inters3× people hate being used as pawns in your rainbow movement. Inters3× is NOT a s3×ual identity nor a s3×ual orientation.
    That's not Jesus you're worshipping, but Satan. Jesus spoke to the 7 types of false churches when he spoke to John in Revelation. He said these are the 7 types of apostates he would deal with on his second return. He said, to the jezebel Church, the one who was engaging in homosexual behaviour, that he would rub their own excrement on their faces.
    You don't have to repent because God gave us all free will. But you WILL stand before His Judgement Seat at the end of your life, as God opens His Book of Life, runs His finger down the page, stops at your name, reads the account, then looks up and asks you "How do you plead?" See, God is like any other judge. He will judge you for your sinful and wicked acts, not for the 1,000 good deeds you did. He doesn't care that you were a kind person, a tolerant person or a giving person. He wants to know did you follow His laws? Did you ever tell a lie? Did you ever steal? Did you ever practice
    fornication? Did you practice homosexuality? Jesus ate with tax collectors and prostitutes, but it was they who went away changed, not Him. "Your sins are forgiven. Go and sin no more."
    "Love is love." is your catch cry, but do you really know what love is? Jesus showed unbelievable love when He burned with rage as He cracked a whip in His father's house that had been turned into a den of thieves. Love is not lust. Love is not to give in to the desires of the flesh. Love is not tolerance. No, love is sacrifice and intolerance. Jesus told us to judge our neighbour in their sin, but not to be judgemental about it. To love our neighbour is to want the good for them. If we see our neighbour sinning we are to not tolerate it, we are to judge them for it by showing them how they are sinning and we are to sacrifice ourselves until they repent of their sin, stop doing whatever it is they are doing and follow Jesus. If you don't have the fear of God in your heart then you aren't following him. Having fear for Jesus is like being in an airplane about to go down and you put on a parachute to save your life. You should have the same amount of fear in your heart for your eternal life, knowing that the ONLY thing that will save you is to repent, stop sinning and follow Jesus.

      Mathew 19:12 Eunuchs that are born that way are transgender. Eunuchs made that way by others were abused but it doesnt happen to everyone that was abused. Those that choose to live like Eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven are bisexual people that choose partners of the same sex but opposite in gender. Notice, God prefers for people to be in LGBT relationships.
      Rapture is when God's true people shine like the sun right here on earth. It is not what most people think. Malachi 4:2-4. Read it. I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6. Anyone selling anything using the gospel or teaching the LIE of monetary tithing won't make it. Same sex marriage is not a sin. God prefers it. Male or female is determined by gender located in the brain. *
      Acts 3:22-23 says it will come to pass that anyone that fails to listen to me will be utterly destroyed from among the people. That means everyone has their own choice to make.

      Jesus is NOT God.
      Malachi 3:8-10 is talking to the church leaders. Malachi 2 clearly states it is addressing the priests/ church leaders. It is prophetic instruction for them to bring back the money they were never supposed to take for ministering then God will end Covid and throw open the floodgates but only if church leaders repent. Moneary tithing is a lie and selling anything using the gospel is evil.
      Luke 10:7 states the only wages for ministering are eating and drinking whatever you are given. Thats it. Anyone that continues to teach monetary tithing lies chooses to die with the wicked.
      I am Elijah of Malachi 4:5-6 and my preaching will cause a redistribution of wealth through the banks..
