God’s Choice; Not Ours! - Genesis 1:27

    So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. - Genesis 1:27

    The myriad of expositions on this one verse alone is almost inexhaustible. But in this post I will address the subject of ‘trans-genderism:” those hapless individuals who’ve decided against God’s natural order that they, not He, will decide which gender they will claim.
    The current tide of progressive public opinion favors the individual’s right to claim whichever gender they choose for themselves as opposed to what their own DNA has determined. I see this as not only the end result of sinful pride but also as the sinful machinations of those who would usurp the roll of God Almighty.
    “Male and female He created them.” I don’t understand the confusion. Six simple words here; what’s so hard to understand? Among lower primates there is no confusion as to gender identity. There is a submissive roll as opposed to the “alpha roll,” but that regards the member’s social status. . . not its sexual identity. No, among the lower primates male gorillas remain male gorillas from the time of their births until they die, just as God intended . . . as GOD intended!
    So aside from the psycho-babble that we hear from the purveyors of the personality disorder circus what possible reason could there be for such a bizarre psychosis? “Professing to be wise, they became fools . . .” Romans 1:22. Obviously there will always be an apologist for even the most profoundly disturbing behaviors. Even murderers have their defenders! But what is the deep seated reason for this maladjustment? Godlessness, pure and simple. If Godlessness is the reason then what is the solution? “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.” - Proverbs 3:5-6. I defy anyone to put a trans-gender personality under the microscope and not find a Godless individual who leans on his or her own understanding (or that of the psychiatrists) and one who neither acknowledges God nor trusts Him! They will ask, “prayer? What is prayer?”
    Going back to Romans 1 - “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.” - Romans 1:26-27. “For this reason-” God allows them to continue on their course of spiritual self-destruction - because, “professing to be wise, they became fools!” No, the LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bi-sexual, Trans-gender) community purports to be wiser than God and in their finite wisdom they are nothing more than fools hell-bent on destruction. And they will find it. Make no mistake: the rise in sexual deviancy in America is directly proportionate to the degree which we acknowledge and legitimize these “alternative lifestyles.” The courts, the legislators, even the President of the United States may defend their “right” to be whatever they choose to be but they will have no defense before the Judgment Seat of Jesus Christ! “For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive the things done in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad. Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are well known to God, and I also trust are well known in your consciences.” - 2 Corinthians 5:10-11.   
    May we all be wise enough to recognize that the will of God for man will not be perverted without judgment and cost.
