The transgender question and our innocent children – What does the Bible and the Message say about it? How should Pastors approach it?

1. The world is going through a cultural revolution and this tsunami will surely impact God’s church on earth. It has, already. Most folks have their own views about this very difficult subject of transgendering children, and it is an emotionally charged subject, but what does the Bible say about it? Let’s check it out from a respectful, yet Biblical perspective.
2. I have a few questions on this subject: Why are certain hospitals giving puberty blockers to young boys and girls, some as young as 8 years? Why are certain parents allowing the genitals of their young children to be surgically removed and thus deny them permanently the blessing of procreation? Why are governments supporting this egregious injustice against children who have neither balanced perspective on this difficult question, nor understanding of the gravity of the decisions on changing their God-given gender? Why are such grave decisions that have permanent effect on the child’s well- being purposely kept away from their parents who have the primarily and God-given responsibility over the child? Why is the church very silent on this issue? What are God-fearing pastors to do if they are faced with this issue in their congregation?
3. Then, there are the physiological anomalies we cannot deny. There are certain females whose reproductive system never developed, or some men whose reproductive system never fully developed. These are difficult questions, and each must be addressed on a case-by-case basis and cannot not be ignored.
4. Then, there is the whole gender dysphoria issue, a medical condition that strikes some young folks and is known to be treatable. Indeed, many who suffer such a condition tend to grow out of it over time. These mental and psychological issues are real and need to be approached with great empathy and support for those youth needing such help.
5. Then, there is the Transableism trend that is also intensifying, where an able-bodied person “identifies” as handicapped and the person seeks a doctor to amputate his/her healthy limbs, snip spinal cords or destroy eyesight. You see where this is heading. From transgendered to transabled. Where does this end? This is insanity. Humanity is heading to the abyss. It is indeed Satan’s Eden.

6. Then, there are many real-life testimonies of those who have de-transitioned and what they have said about the horrors they endured. Listen to one such heart-breaking detransition testimony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXlqZi9wbCQ
7. At the same time, governments all over the world are enacting laws in support, and some against this cultural revolution that have significant consequences on these innocent children and Pastors.

a. Most European countries have set up self-declaration systems to facilitate gender transition.

b. In Canada, it is now a criminal offence (Bill C-4 now codified into law – sections 320.‍102–104 of the Criminal Code and which came into effect on Jan 7, 2022 ) to engage in “conversion therapy” defined as “a practice, treatment or service designed to change a person’s sexual orientation to heterosexual or gender identity to cisgender, or to repress or reduce non-heterosexual attraction or sexual behaviour”. For greater certainty, this definition does not include a practice, treatment or service that relates (a) to a person’s gender transition; or (b) to a person’s exploration of their identity or to its development.

c. In the US, some states have enacted laws to perpetrate transgenderism, while other states like Florida, have passed legislation to ban gender change procedures on children.

8. Where did this all come from? A little history on the changing goal post on this issue is in order. Until 2019, “gender dysphoria” was classified as a psychological disorder by the World Health Organization (WHO). However, on May 28, 2019, the WHO changed the definition and reframed the issue in its International Classification of Diseases (ISD -11) as “gender incongruence”.
9. The above notwithstanding, the Bible is very clear and undeniable. When God created humans on earth, He made our first parents male and female and put them in separate male and female bodies, respectively. The Lord Jesus confirmed this very principle as immutable. The undeniable truth is that you cannot change your God-given biological gender.

a. GENESIS 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

b. MATTHEW 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female.

10. The Lord Jesus also acknowledged that there are various situations concerning eunuchs.

a. MATTHEW 19:11-12 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.

b. These were not changed from men into women, and anyone that tries to use this reference to justify the subject under discussion is misapplying Scriptures.

11. The honest data and voices on this subject of child body mutilations are building and at frightening speed:

a. From 2020 to 2030, it is estimated that the gender reassignment surgery market will grow by 11.2% and much of the growth will come from North America. The god of Mammon has been awakened.

b. In Norway, highest number of minors are now requesting gender change, according to Evangelical Focus. Norway: highest number of minors requesting gender change, Evangelical Focus

c. Listen to the April 19, 2023, Project Veritas undercover video of doctors discussing prescription of Puberty Blockers to Minors as Young as 8 Years Old and Irreversible ‘Cross-Gender Hormones’ to Minors as Young as 14 Years Old. This is very very disturbing. The consequences on these children are frightening and these life-altering acts against these innocent children are frankly not only criminal but also very demonic. https://twitter.com/i/status/1648766212522876928

d. Elon Musk has also added his voice to this subject in a very helpful way. This is what he said on Twitter on April 14, 20223: “Any parent or doctor who sterilizes a child before they are a consenting adult should go to prison for life”. https://tinyurl.com/2ejw8bej

e. Listen to a scatting commentary by Senator Ted Cruz on Dell Children’s Medical Center (DCMC) in Austin, Texas, where children as young as 8 years are being put through life-altering and permanent surgeries to remove their genitals. This is absolutely child abuse and criminal. https://twitter.com/i/status/1651623489542189058

12. Why is the world embracing chemical castration of young boys and mutilation of young girls, and why are they keeping parents in the dark on such life-changing decisions such as prescription of puberty blockers to their children? The Lord Jesus warned the church concerning this issue and I think we can all say that the prophecy of Apostle Paul has undeniably come to pass. The world is in for it. The hour is at hand.

a. ROMANS 1:21;24;26-28 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonor their own bodies between themselves:… For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

13. What did the End time Prophet say about this issue?

a. Para 128 Now, something else I had wrote down. Remember Lot’s two daughters. Yes, we remember that, down in the city of Sodom. Jesus said here, in Luke 17, “As it was in the days of Sodom.” Remember, that, men had misused women in such a way until the natural act of life was no more desired. And, oh, it’s awful to say this from the platform, but this is…There ever was Truth, it ought to go from here. And it is so bad, today, till there is tens of thousands times thousands of them, on the increase everywhere, perversion, Sodomites, as it was in that day. Because the natural use of human life to reproduce themselves upon the earth has been so mistreated, and so gone on in the way it has, until the desire of it is failing fastly. I’ll say, within another ten or fifteen years it’ll be past, almost, the way it’s increasing now. 63-0623E - The Flashing Red Light Of The Sign Of His Coming

b. Para 114 The complete, total insanity this world will go into, right away, it’s almost there now. Why, you see the footsteps of it. There it is. It—it’s marching right out on the street, right down the church pew, total insanity, do things that a human being wouldn’t think of doing and being civilized. 65-1125 - The Invisible Union Of The Bride Of Christ

c. Para 35 Therefore when a woman tries to act like a man, dress like a man, and talk like a man, she’s out of her place. A woman is feminish, sweet, loving, not big and carrying onand acting like a man. Well, she’s not supposed to be. And when she does that, her life is perverted. She’s sweet, loving, kind, where Adam is more the burly type, for he was the man, the masculine type. The woman was feminish, but it’s the same spirit, for He took her from Adam. 58-0619B - Ye Must Be Born Again

14. What should our faithful pastors in the Message do to help and protect our youth? This is the time to pray earnestly for our youth. It is time to also get to know our youth and help them through these troublous times the Bible predicted will come upon all who dwell on earth.
a. First, we must stand with our youth to keep them from these evolving dangers:

i. Para 10 The human being has two changes of life. 10 They have the change from a boy to a—a man; from a woman…from a girl to a woman. About sixteen, seventeen years old, they get like a bunch of just fly-by-nights. And—and if you can just suffer with them during that age. I got a daughter in that age right now, Rebekah. Pray for her. And Billy, oh, every one of us, we come through that little frantic age. And—and so we must suffer with them, realizing it’s something that—that they—they have to go through. 63-0707M - The Indictment

b. Second, we must pray for them.
c. Third, Pastors must tread carefully to not breach these laws that have been enacted. We need wisdom from the Lord.

i. ISAIAH 33:6 And wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of thy times, and strength of salvation: the fear of the LORD is his treasure.

15. Bottomline: The world has gone insane, as the Prophet predicted. We are now deep into Satan’s Eden. The enemy has already, in large measure, destroyed the family unit that God created. He is now going for the final prize, the children, and they are getting them as early as 8 years. We must protect the heritage the Lord has given us, our children. The harm being done to these innocent children through forced prescription of puberty blockers and gender re-assignment surgeries is immoral and frankly an abuse. May the Lord Jesus help this generation.
