A Biblical View of the Sanctity of Life and the Moral Surrounding Abortion
The reasoning behind the belief that transgender identities are not biblical generally stems from several key scriptural texts and theological principles. Here are some common verses cited to prove this view:
1. Creation Order: Genesis 1:27 where states, "So God
created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and
female He created them." This verse means that God created humans with
distinct and unchangeable genders.
2. Gender Roles: Deuteronomy 22:5, which says, "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 [Yahweh] your
God," are evidence that the Bible prescribes specific roles and
distinctions between genders.
3. Body as Temple: 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, which speaks about
the body being a temple of the Holy Spirit, means that altering one's body in a
way that changes one's gender is inconsistent with honoring God with one's
body.
4. Natural Law: Romans 1:26-27 discusses behaviors
considered unnatural, and while the specific context addresses homosexual
behavior, this includes transgender identities, believing that altering one's
gender goes against the natural order God created.
5. Identity in Christ: Galatians 3:28 states, "There is
neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and
female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus." This means spiritual
equality rather than the elimination of gender distinctions.
