CT looks at evangelicals and the transgender issue

Christianity Today has taken on the transgender issue. Yes, you read that right. I had to do a doubletake when the headline arrived in my inbox today. The article explores how evangelicals can respond with "moral authority and biblical compassion to gender identity disorder."

It astounds me that Christains can say "God doesnt make mistakes", and then tell me i am a mistake??

But I thought he doesnt make mistakes?

Oh, the perfect moment is:

we can't set aside teachings of the Bible because of research findings

That means you can't argue with them.  There is no way to ever convince them.  So why bother with them?  Not only that the Bible does not say all that much about this.

Agreed even in the bibicle sense Enuchs were not Transgendered nessecarily.

They were castrated to make them more Loyal??? Like that makes any sense in and of itself.

Ya gotta wonder why they would accept a liver transplant or any surgery for that matter.  Why do they purchase food with preservatives or eat animals that have been bred for better yield?  Why do they listen to a doctor's advice?

The thing is that they accept science when it is of direct benefit to them and reject it when they can't comprehend it.

If you could bubble pack transsexualism and hang it on a Walmart hook for $1.99, I betchya they'd accept it without thought.
