Does the Bible say anything about trans people?

[Scarlett_lilly]

Not a Christian myself but I've had people say that being trans is wrong because the bible says so. Just wondering if this is true?

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Specifically no but it does address clothing that Specifically towards to men and women and transgender cross dress.

A trans-gender is a homosexual and perverted person who goes against their natural biology therefore it's wrong and sinful before God.

Romans 1:18-32:

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them.

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.

Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

For this reason God gave them up to vile passions.

For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature.

Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Nothing specifically and directly, to my knowledge. But by itself, that doesn't mean much. The main reason is that nowhere in the Bible does it say that everything Christians believe must be explicitly stated in the Bible or that it is to be the sole rule of faith ("sola scriptura"; "the Bible alone"). In fact, there are even parts that condemn the idea.

That said, Christian opposition to transgenderism can be justified thusly. First of all, some in the LGBT movement claim that "God doesn't make mistakes". If that's true (which it is), then He did not err in making a man a man and a woman a woman. Even after procedures and surgeries, a man is still a man and a woman is still a woman. Nothing will change this.

With that being established, if a man who "transitions" into a woman still remains fundamentally a man, he is essentially practicing homosexuality, which is condemned by the Bible. The same premise holds true for women and lesbianism.

And ultimately, transgenderism belittles the gift that God gives each man and woman, that being their body and their sexuality. It is rooted in the sin of pride, which assumes that one's own wisdom is greater than that of God.

None of this means that those who have these feelings should be treated with scorn and contempt. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church says in paragraph 2358, those who are same-sex attracted are to be treated with compassion and sensitivity. But this does not mean approval.

[Dchrls78104]

"A woman shall not wear anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an abomination to the Lord your God" (Deuteronomy 22:5).
"Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites... will inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9,10).
"... the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable... sexually immoral... and all liars shall have their part in... the second death"(Revelation 21:8).

[Savage_Wisdom]

It doesn't talk about trans specifically because being trans is a concept that didn't exist until the last 100 years, when technology made such a concept possible. It does mention cross dressing, "A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." Deuteronomy 22:5

[smølf]

No, because there are no trans people, hence the Bible does not talk about them as trans.

Remember what you consider trans, is a very modern phenomenon, it was not until recently that surgery and medicine use is possible. Even so, nobody can truly trans into anything they are not.
The DNA and chromosome do not change, neither do the primary sex characteristics.

[nawtee_me]

The bible does not mention trans people because at that time it was not even thought of as a concept. However it does talk about people being with the same sex. And face it, a trans person is still the same sex as when they were born. Even though the body may have been altered the chromosomes remain the same.

[Scarlett_lilly]

So you're saying that it's okay because I still like women then?

[Anonymous]

No, it's not true. It's the sort of conclusion an evangelical can reach by assuming god makes no mistakes and has a direct hand in the creation of every person.

Of course, if that were accurate, you'd never see still born babies or defects or handicaps.

[jshm2]

The bible doesn't even allow you to mix clothes, or wear the other genders clothes. You seriously think it will allow being the other gender?

[RolandCuthbert]

It doesn't mention trans anywhere. At least not what I have read. But it does mention gays.

[Anonymous]

Ther are no trans in the bible, only womans and mans.
Trans is just a stupid invention, because no mather what a person do they will never be able to change themself from a men to a woman or oposide way.
You are born as boy, you will forever be a boy.
You are born as girl, you will forever be a girl.
The bible say just to take care of your sould and body and not damage it by will.

[Scarlett_lilly]

You are entitled to your opinion and I respect that but I have to say that I disagree with you and if you would be so kind as to restrict yourself to the topic at hand rather than going on a hateful rant it would be appreciated

[Opinion Owner]

Is simple the biology.
You have a dick when you are born, you are FOREVER a boy.
You have a pussy when you are born, then you are FOREVER a girl.
END OF STUPIDITY.

[Scarlett_lilly]

And that is your opinion, one which does not match the opinion of health services, governments and the majority of the population so please keep it to yourself and stick to the question asked

[Opinion Owner]

The governaments doesn't give a S about this thing "segual minrity", "sexual orientation", "what gender is any person".
Governaments want suport and power and thous who accept this stupidity are a minority, to see that moust of the world disagree whit this ideas.
Only western countrys who are not religios, who don't have a gram of conservative and prezervation for theyr traditions accept this. Only the country that look more like Babilon then theyr own nation.

BIOLOGY IS A FAKT.
The doctors whi ALWASE know what you are when they look in to your body and see vital organs that you have or don't.
He wanted to have a simple crown, made of steel cannons that were captured in the fight for independence. This is what he wanted to remind of the people who sacrificed themselves for the country and that freedom can only be gained through struggle.
He wanted the price of our freedom to never be forgotten.

Men have laryngeal prominence and cannot live if they are amputated. Women do not have and can not get such a thing.
Women do not have their own testosterone production compared to men.
There are clear and absolute differences between women and men, so orderly, social, cultural, biological !!!

[Scarlett_lilly]

Point number one, learn to spell because it makes all your arguments sound stupider than they already are.

Point number 2, both Liberal and Conservative governments alike have put in laws to protect trans people and make them a part of society.

Point number 3, you can have a laryngeal shave which gets rid of all prominence.

Now please get your small minded, bigoted and misinformed arse off of my post

[Opinion Owner]

I'm not a native English speacher, so i don't care to learn much more then i did.

I don't have a conservative party, so if you talk about your USA politic then you are a limitate person.

You are a man or a female and you can't be something else. Thous who put fake tits and cut theyr D are just crazy people who mutilate themself same for the girls.

You are a girl or a boy from the moment you are born in this world and thill the day you die no mather what you will do.

Boys can't get pregnet or have period and girls can't have erections or protate.
IS THE LAW OF NATURE AND HUMANS ARE NOT ABOVE IT.

[OddBeMe]

No, nor race. Neither was known when it was written. Funny how an all knowing god didn’t put one future issue into it. Almost like the writers were making it up as they went along.

[Julious0202]

it doesn't expressly have the word trans, but it does about g*ys and lesbians…and implicitly it has recommendations on how a man and a woman should dress and behave

[888theGreat]

Trans with a penis having sex with guys would still be homosexual and God said that was a sin.

[Cubus]

I think it doesn't say anything, because there was no such thing as "trans person" then.

[Anonymous]

Not as far as I know, and why would it?

[Anonymous]

There were no trans people back then. Lol
