with that being said my question is, how do you feel about sex changes? do you think this relates to homosexuality if u change your gender and have intercourse with that of your original gender? how do the dress codes apply? do you dress as your original gender or your new? are there any verses u can give me to prove your standpoint? i ask this cause i have never seen this question come up, however ive seen homosexuality and dress code and other lifestyle questions come up frequently. so tell me what you think.
(btw: if you say %26quot;its wrong%26quot; or %26quot;its ok%26quot; id appreciate some kind of explanation to back it up) ty
How do you as a christian feel about...?
You were born the way you were supposed to be.
I don't know what happens to people to make them confused, but confused they are when they think they need a sex change.
How do you as a christian feel about...?
chrsitians love hating them, too! but they really love hating gay people.
any mutilation of your body is wrong.
The book of Romans and the Old Testament commandment that a man shall not wear that which pertaineth to a woman (crossdressing) and vice versa. So yeah, I would say that it is wrong. The whole sordid affair.

to get over all religion.. just be atheist.
i change my sex on yahoo avatars all the time; im christian
The first question is all I will speak of.
Sex changes are not good. God says your body is a temple of himself and to defile yourself is to sin. Each person is created a certain way and as such be in the lives physically.
Well christian are mindless zombies who restrict themselves to a book called The Bible...so that means everything is explained for them in that little book.I think people should be able to do what they want with theyr body or do anything as a matter of fact if they dont harm anybody.
-If your considering reporting me for ,,insulting you%26quot; pls reconsider because this is only my point of view you ****** ***-
FREEDOM OF SPEECH
Instead of asking a %26quot;Christian%26quot; you need to ask God for yourself, apparently you know it is wrong if you are asking. God wants us to be happy with how He created us it is not up to us to make a new creation of what we should be. If this is a desire you have and you want to be delivered from this He can help you it will take work on your part and faith and with the two of those you can conquer anything from drugs, stealing, lust and yes even wanting to change your gender. God does not make mistakes if He made us women and men that is what He intended.
I apologize for the length of this post. My heart hurts for those who are so confused.
A true follower of Christ does not hate anyone - we are all the same - just dust - sinning is born into us. The only way out is through Christ's righteousness that he paid in full on the Cross. You accept it, then your sin is washed away. That doesn't make a follower of Christ any better than anyone else, it just makes them saved and forgiven. That option is open for anyone to accept. It is a gift, you just have to receive it by faith.
Although sex change operations are not specifically mentioned in Scripture human sexuality is spelled out clearly. Starting in Genesis 1:27, %26quot;So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them. God blessed them and told them, multiply and fill the earth and subdue it. Be masters over the fish and birds and all the animals. And God said, Look! I have given you the seed-bearing plants throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given all the grasses and other green plants to the animals and birds for their food. And so it was. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was excellent in every way. This all happened on the sixth day%26quot; (Genesis 1:27-31).
On the sixth day of creation God created people in his own image. It says in verse 31 that his creation was excellent in every way. To say that a sex change is okay is to say that when God created an individual that God made a mistake. Those who have given testimony to having a sex change almost always say the same thing. I was made a woman but put in a mans body or I was made a man but put in a woman's body. To say this you have to say that God made a mistake and God says about his creation that it was excellent in every way so God is saying that he made man to be man and women to be women.
What does the Scripture say about having sex with the same gender? Read Genesis 19, %26quot;But Lot insisted, so at last they went home with him. He set a great feast before them, complete with fresh bread made without yeast. After the meal, as they were preparing to retire for the night, all the men of Sodom, young and old, came from all over the city and surrounded the house. They shouted to Lot, “Where are the men who came to spend the night with you? Bring them out so we can have sex with them Lot stepped outside to talk to them, shutting the door behind him. “Please, my brothers,” he begged, “don’t do such a wicked thing%26quot; (Genesis 19:3-7). The rest of the story is that God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for their sexual sins. God said that it was wicked in His sight. The men both young and old wanted to have sex with the men visiting Lot and Lot called this wicked.
Read what Paul writes in Romans, %26quot;Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. The result was that their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they became utter fools instead. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people, or birds and animals and snakes. So God let them go ahead and do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies. Instead of believing what they knew was the truth about God, they deliberately chose to believe lies. So they worshiped the things God made but not the Creator himself, who is to be praised forever. Amen. That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relationships with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men and, as a result, suffered within themselves the penalty they so richly deserved. When they refused to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their evil minds and let them do things that should never be done%26quot; (Romans 1:21-28). Here God calls the things that men do with other men shameful, vile and degrading. Therefore how can one say that a sex change is within the will of God?
Scripture is consistent from the beginning God made man and women to have a relationship with each other and to be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth. Even if a man has a sex change and becomes a women in some form, they are still men inside and do not have the ability to reproduce. The passage in Romans shows that if they lust for each other this is a shameful thing. God puts sexual immorality on the same level as idolatry and is not accepted in the will of God. It also says that if you believe that this is an acceptable practice you believe a lie. This world is full of people who believe anything they want to believe and they will not listen to anyone who doesn't tell them what they want to hear. Even our society in general does not accept sex changes since it in its basic form is still homosexual in nature.
One last Scripture, “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, and a man must not wear women’s clothing. The Lord your God detests people who do this%26quot; (Deuteronomy 22:5). God does not even allow men to wear the clothing of women or women to wear the clothing of men. God made man to be man and woman to be woman and He does not allow any altering to His creation because as God said it was excellent in every way.
God created man and woman. You can't change your sex. If you're man then you are XY and if you're woman then you are XX. You can't change that. You can change your body but not the truth.
well. if having something cutoff, reshaped, taking alot of supplements and hormones to maintain an illusion...is kosher. Then either God made an error or He condones this? Can it not be something driven by a psychological need, a lust for what you don't have? If, this is a natural occurrence, why is there such open hostility between homosexuals and Christianity? Wouldn't you have a little compassion for the Christians, if you absolutely knew you were right?
I'm not a bible thumper so I can't tell you the exact place but I have come across it. A man mustn/t have sex with a man. We're not to dress like another of the opposite sex.
Having said this I don't believe you can have a sex change and get it on with the other sex. You're just rationalizing.
Another thing I don't do is call myself a Christian. Not that I'm ashamed but it has such a self rightious ring to it because I am so unlike my master. If somebody calls me Christian that is fine.
It makes me feel good.
In the Bible there is this one scripture that says; 'a woman shall not wear what pertaineth to a man, nor a man wear what pertainteth to a woman.'
In churches no matter the kind, Methodist, Baptist, Catholic, Pentacostal there is always some aguement on that. Alot of people think it's about wearing pants and what not.
I don't think that's 100% correct because I'm pretty sure people who live in the time B.C were cloths wrapped around them.
To my point. GOD made every woman with their own body features and men with thier own.
GOD tells us that we are HIS best creation. At no time do we have a right to change what GOD created.
GOD has given me a right to choose, I choose to obey HIM with my all, not my desires, for on my own I don't even no what is %26quot;right,%26quot; GOD teaches me and I listen to HIM.
WE shouldn't let the temption of lusts and flesh take control of our spirits.
The Bible doesn't say anything specifically about thou should or thou should not have a sex change operation; however, since these bodies were created by God, and since each soul was issued one to exist in this flesh life, I would think that God would not be happy with our changing our sex. If God purposed for a person to be born a specific gender, I would also think it an insult to him to change that, as if God didn't do it properly the first time. When God created man in the flesh, he looked at his creation (all of it) and stated that it was good. It does not surprise me at all that man would think he could make a better decision about it, or do a better job at it.
Interesting question. I'm not sure I have an answer for it but I'll try. Christians shouldn't hate people. Jesus never hated anyone. However he did hate sin. Therefore we are to hate sin and love the sinner. As for sex changes and homosexuality, if they are considered sin from a Biblical perspective then they are sin. Are Christians to judge these people? NO. That is for God. Our role as Christians is to show the love of Christ to everyone. I hope this helps.
I think it's wrong-God gave you a gender for a reason. To mess with that is in my opinion wrong. It's messing with God's plan for you and your life. I do think it relates to homosexuality for the reasons you said, you end up sleeping with people of your own gender. I say this b/c since your soul is still that of the same person, I don't think God recongnizes you as a different gender. As far as %26quot;dress codes%26quot; I don't think thats the issue. Those
%26quot;rules%26quot; are set forth by society, not God so I don't think God gets to big into what you wear.
Oh yea, and to correct a few people, I'm a christian and I don't hate people-I do hate some actions people take, but not the people. Please don't make massive blanket statements that have no real back-up.
I feel it is not for me to judge. It is between that person and God.
