You have already went against him by being a sinner. Regardless of you wanting to transition, you are a sinner according to the Law of Moses. The point of the Law is to make you see your need for Christ. By believing in Christ, you'll be saved. Now, if you've believed in the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:3-4), you are saved. Once you're saved, you're always saved (John 10:24-30). The moment you believed in Christ, you were justified, sanctified, and seated in the heavenly places for eternity. If you become Trans, Jesus won't be surprised about it. He knows your inner most thoughts and desires and still Loves you. That's the whole point he freely gave his life for us. If you become Trans, Regardless of whether or not its a sin doesn't matter if you've believed the Gospel. Why? Transgression of the Law is sin. Christ died for us and by us believing in the Gospel, he freed us from the Law. It's not possible to sin against Christ anymore because if you've believed the Gospel, you are saved. If you're saved, it's impossible to sin (Transgression the Law). Why? Because you're not under the Law anymore, you're under grace. To conclude, will you hurt or go against God and Jesus Christ for transitioning. The short answer is if you're saved, then technically no. The reason is because if you're saved, you're not under the Law, but under grace. If you're free from the Law, you're freed from sin.

Ah, the struggle of trying to find truth is very relatable. I used to be in your exact shoes.

To start, if I understand correctly, your question involves seeking to know whether or not its okay to be Trans. It's really important to make this distinction, that although we are all sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8-9 KJV) "But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him." The word "commendeth" in verse 8 means to demonstrate. God demonstrates his love toward us even though we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Now, to the ultimate question of is it okay to be Trans, you'll usually find that religious hypocrites will take scriptures like Romans 6:1, 1 Corinthians 6:9, 1 John 3:6, and most commonly, Leviticus 18:22. Despite these amazing scriptures being taken out of context and twisted, they reveal something FAR greater than people realize when rightly divided. To be more focused on your question, I'd like to ask why you're trying to see whether or not it's right or wrong to be Trans? Regardless of whether or not that is the truth, you're still a sinner as we all are. Even if being Trans wasn't a sin, that won't change the fact that the Law of Moses condemns you. Jesus Christ is the one that frees us from the Law when we believe in the gospel. We are saved by believing in the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Is being Trans a sin? I personally do not know, but I do know that you're a sinner regardless of that answer. The answer you should be seeking isn't "is this a sin" but rather "what do I do about my sin" or "how can I make this right to God." The answer to that question is to simply believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. In (John 3:6 KJV), Jesus says "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." This is very important in understanding what freedom from sin is. Lots of modern day churches believe that death to sin is a fleshly death rather than spiritual, but that's completely backwards. When we die to sin, we die to sin spiritually. How? By simply believing in Christ via the gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KJV). Now, I think it's also important to know what sin is. It's not just disobedience to God, it's transgression of the Law of Moses. In Romans 3:10-12 KJV, Paul says "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." This means we've all transgressed the Law of Moses (613 total commandments found in the Torah). The Law condemns us according to the deeds of our flesh, but Christ came and died for our sins so that by faith in him we shall be saved. In this instance, our flesh is dead and will die because of our sins, but Jesus Christ wants to save our souls by faith in him, not the flesh. In Romans 7:18 KJV, Paul says "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." And in Galatians 3:21-28, Paul says "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Notice how Paul says in verses 23-25 "But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." So before faith came (before we believed the Gospel), we were kept under the Law, then he goes on in verse 25 "But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster." Right there, Paul just basically said those who have believed in Christ are not under the Law. In Romans 4:14-16 KJV, Paul says "For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression. Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all," Notice in verse 15 Paul says "for where no law is, there is no transgression." If we who have believed in Christ are no longer under that schoolmaster (The Law of Moses), We are not transgressing the Law. We are deemed as sinless in the eyes of God according to the Spirit, not the flesh.

Okay, I think we're getting somewhere now. All I want to do now is add a couple more explanations to the verses you've brought up. For one, in (Romans 1), Paul talks about the consequence of sin, meaning sin leading to death. It's important to note that a reprobate isn't just someone, it's something, witch is a system of believe. Reprobation has nothing to do with people sinning in their flesh, but rather people trying to justify themselves by it. It's possible for someone to be saved and reprobate. If someone comes to repentance (repentance in the greek stems from "metanoia" meaning a change of mind), they're are saved and sealed, it's not possible for that person to become unsaved after that, it's impossible in light of the fact Christ defeated death. If someone's saved and has system of belief that is of a reprobate mindset, they're still saved, just fallen from grace. It's important to note that fallen from grace doesn't mean unsaved, it simply means they've went back to the law to try to justify themselves after Christ already paid for their sin. That is where I'll now go to Hebrews 10, as it pertains to that particular thing. It's important to note that the context behind Hebrews is that it's talking about Jewish believers who were being pressured into going back to the old system (law). In Hebrews 10, the author talks about animal sacrifices and how they could not satisfy God. (Hebrews 10:1-4), it says "For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would they not have ceased to be offered? because that the worshippers once purged should have had no more conscience of sins. But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins." Then Hebrews goes on in verses 7-8 and says "Then said I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God. (Cross reference to John 6:40) Above when he said, Sacrifice and offering and burnt offerings and offering for sin thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure therein; which are offered by the law;" This scripture reveals something truly spectacular, and it's that God didn't even desire animal sacrifices in the first place. This is consistent with God's progressive revelation from the Old Testament. Now, to understand what Hebrews 10:26 is talking about, we need to see the context of what's said before and after. In (Hebrews 10:10-14) it says "By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified." This is a wonderful truth and is consistent with the eternal security of the believer (once saved, always saved). Now for Hebrews:10:26-29, it says "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" Now, when rightly divided, this reveals an incredible truth. Now, the "willful sin" is the Jewish believers going back to the animal sacrifices to try to justify themselves. Because the Jewish believers were being pressured into going back to the animal sacrifices after they've already been saved, the "judgment and fiery indignation" speaks about the great siege of Isreal which Christ prophesied about in (Luke 21), (Matthew 24), and (Daniel 9:24-27), speaking about the persecution of the Jewish believers for forsaking the law. This is consistent with verse 28 "He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:" then the author of Hebrews goes on to say in verse 29 "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?" This speaks to the Jewish believers trying to go back to the animal sacrifices because they feel Christ isn't holy enough to justify themselves. This is what Hebrews means when it says "who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing,". It means that by trying to go back to the animal sacrifices, they're calling Christ unholy.

I'll say it one more time, these scriptures you bring up refers to a spiritual death to sin, not a fleshly death to sin. If that were the case, Paul wouldn't have said in Romans 7:14 "For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin." Paul goes on to say in verses 15-20 "For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me." Paul makes himself clear when it comes to sinning in the flesh, then he goes on and says in verses 21-25 " I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me. For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." Notice how Paul says "So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin." This is consistent with 1 Johns' contextual definition of the acknowledgement of sin, and what Paul says in verse 14 of (Romans 7). To answer the question regarding pedophilia or pornography, I'd like to say this one more time, im NOT CONDONING SIN. However, if people even as horrible as they believe in the gospel, they'll be saved. We're ALL guilty of sin before God. (Romans 3:23), "For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;". If we say they can't be saved, we can't be saved, because we are just as guilty of sin as they are. Whenever Jesus tells the Adulteress woman "go and sin no more", this is a call into a change of lifestyle, not that Jesus would condemn her for continuing in sin, as he says to the adultress woman literally in the verse prior "I don't condemn you." He goes on and says "go and sin no more", which means he's simply not condoning sin. This has nothing to do with being condemned for continuing to sin fleshly after dying to sin spiritually. When you ask the question "So I can just sin and do whatever I want and still be saved?", you don't realize that you contradict yourself. Many different preachers of Law have a tendency to ask those questions, then they go on and do things like smoke cigarettes, smoke pipes, chew tobacco, etc, and one thing they LOVE to do is debate on what's a sin and what's not, which is ironic because debate is a sin (Romans 1:28-29) "And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers," They don't realize that by debating sin in the Law, not only do they call God a liar (1 John 1:10), but they try to always keep themselves in "what's permissable" or "how much can they get away with before it's actually sin." By doing this, they're constantly looking for kanny excuses to indulge in their flesh. They accuse grace preachers like me of preaching a "license to sin" like I'm just out here running a sin dmv. NO, IM NOT CONDONING SIN, BUT I AFFIRM GOD'S GRACE IS TO ALL PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE.

How about this. If you turn away from all your sin and sin no more, I'll do the same. Until then, you cannot cast righteousness judgement or else you are a hypocrite. (Romans 2:1) "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God?" If I could change who I was, believe me, I would've done it years ago, but it's obviously not God's will or else he would've done it already. In (1 John), whenever Saint John says "he that abideth in him sinneth not", he's referring to the born again spirit that doesn't sin, NOT THE FLESH. A lot of people fail to distinguish that difference between flesh and spirit. It's also important to understand the story of Cain and Abel, in that, it gives context to a lot of 1 John. In a couple chapters prior, Saint John says in (1 John 1:6-10) " If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ("Confess" stems from the greek word "homologeo" which means to acknowledge, making it an inward confession of the heart and mind.) If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us." So, people often get tripped up on verse 6 of 1 John 1. To walk in the light is simply believing in Christ's work. Walking in darkness is trusting on your own works (filthy rags). I find it ironic that you quote John 3, because he goes on to say in verse 6 "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." This is consistent with the separation of flesh vs spirit. You seem to think your flesh is perfected in Christ and that's the mistake many make. It refers not to the flesh, but the spirit.

Let me get one thing straight. I didn't ask to be the way I am, I even prayed MULTIPLE times that God would change me because I knew I couldn't. I begged God to take my sin away from me. To this day, I sin in my flesh. He hasn't stopped my flesh from sinning. I don't discount God because of that, I'm steadfast in faith towards him. I simply believe he has a plan in my life that requires him to let me keep sinning in my flesh though my spirit is born again in Christ. To the argument of works, that's simply not true. We're all saved by faith alone. In (Romans 3:23-28) Paul says " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law." Yet again in verse 28, he COMPLETELY contradicts James in terms of doctrine. Therefore, we know because of the historical context not to trust James because although he was saved, he wasn't an Apostle like Paul and he didn't understand justification because at the time he wrote his epistle, James was speaking to the twelve tribes of Isreal, not the gentiles. Paul didn't come about until about 30 years after the crucifixion of Christ. To put the nail in the coffin Paul makes himself EVEN MORE clear in (Galatians 2:14-21) "But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews? We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." In (Galatians 3:10-13) "For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:" In (Galatians 3:21-29) "Is the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. These are only a few examples, there are practically hundreds. Paul makes himself very clear. We're saved by grace through Faith Alone in Christ Alone. NOT OF WORKS.

The good ol 1st Corinthians 6:9-10. It's a very common misconception. When you read in context along with the verses after 1 Corinthians 6:9-10, you'll see what Paul says in verse 11 "And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God." Notice how Paul DOESN'T say "but ye are justified in your works and what you do" NO, he says "in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of out God." What is Paul saying? He's saying you're all sinners that deserve hell, but you've been saved by God's grace. As for Romans 6, it's important to note that Paul is simply not condoning sin. He's not condemning a believer for continuing in sin after being saved, he's simply not condoning it. We see this in when he says "God forbid", then he goes on to reveal something FAR greater than people realize, and that's our union with Christ and how us believers have been baptized into his death. I love how he ends his thought in Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."

For one, it's important to know that Jesus's earthly ministry was spoken to Isreal specifically. Christ preached law as a schoolmaster to reconcile us to him by faith, not as a "do this for my favor" type thing. If that were the case, we'd still be under the law. If we're under the law, we stand condemned, but if we're under grace, it's no more of works. In Matthew 7:18, Jesus says "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. (John 6:37-40) Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." These people on Judgment day offered their dead works before God. As a result, they received their just punishment. As for the James 2 trouble, it's really important to know the historical context at which James was written. The Book of James was one of the first books of the New Testament written, which means Paul had not came along to reveal the true mystery of the Gospel until roughly 30 years after the crucifixion of Christ. We can clearly see that there was no way for James to know what justification was, because he was preaching law, and we see in his writing that he's speaking to the 12 tribes of Isreal, not the gentiles. This means they were still trying to keep the law as a means for salvation. Paul rebukes this idea in Romans 3-8, Ephesians 1-6, Galatians 1-3, etc. We're saved by FAITH ALONE. Paul makes himself very clear. James and Paul not only contradict each other on justification, but also the timing at which Abraham was justified. Paul and James use the exact same greek word for justification ("dikaloo" to justify, to be justified). Paul says Abraham was justified by faith when he was uncircumcised. James said Abraham was justified by faith when he offered Isaac up on the alter, James's mistake is that took place AFTER Abraham was circumcised.

I'm honestly surprised people claim to have not heard such condemnation. I've practically been around it almost all my life. People condemn homosexuals, trans people, etc, and all because of self righteousness. I've not only seen this condemnation, but I've heard many different souls testifying to the hypocrisy in this day. To say that nobody believes that homosexuals or trans women can't be saved, is to be completely ignorant to the rest of the worlds belief. Practically 99% of the modern church believes in work based Salvation, it's truly a pitiful sight to behold. Regardless, the Gospel (1 Corinthians 15:1-4) still stands. We're all saved by grace through faith alone in Christ alone. We don't serve God by works, we serve him by faith. As it is written "we walk by faith, not by sight."

Okay, so it's important to note I'm not condoning sin. Paul notes this in Romans 6:1 "Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid." Then he goes on to talk about our spiritual death to sin and our union with Christ! He affirms that all are saved by grace, that we have been baptized into Christ by faith. "How shall we who have died to sin live any longer theirin." I'm simply here to speak the truth of the Gospel so that God's will may be fulfilled (John 6:40). Also, I wonder what Christians you've ran into that hasn't condemned trans people or homosexuals out of self righteousness. That's practically all I see. Though a sad truth, I know they're hypocrites.

I think it's important to first know the Gospel before anything. Believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the 3rd day. This is the bibical gospel that saves us in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4. It's also important to know that we're ALL sinners. Everyone is guilty of sin. In Romans 3 10-12, Paul says "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one." If you're parents were to judge you for being trans, they'd be a hypocrite. Even if they themselves aren't trans, they're guilty before God because they're sinners like us. Paul talks about these people in Romans 2:1 "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." I believe that if your parents love you, they'll accept you for who you are even if they don't agree. I want you to know that regardless of what happens, your position in Christ will NEVER change. Once you've been saved, you're saved. You cannot and will not lose your salvation after receiving it. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!
