Transexual/gender people encouraged to be Priests

[1213]

Thanx for admitting the exclusionary nature of a religion that claims that the free gift of Grace requires no actions beyond belief. The rapist, the child molester.... all can receive the free gift of Grace - or not.

Grace is free for all, but eternal life is only for righteous. Grace doesn't help, if one is not righteous.

These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.
Matt. 25:46
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23

And child molesters should know this:

But whoever causes one of these little ones believing in Me to offend, it is better for him that a millstone turned by an *** be hung on his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.
Matt. 18:6

Do you believe transsexuality represents reality?
Boys don't become girls, or vice versa.

Some kids are born blind others deaf. Some can be born disabled or with restricted growth or heart defects. The list goes on and on.

So why should the gender aspect be any different? Nature screws up in many ways, I don't think there are exceptions to this.

As we tried to teach you in that thread, sexuality exists on a broad continuum. Apparently we failed as you still are unable to comprehend that reality, and either choose to remain ignorant, or you simply lack the intellect to parse the basic science of sex.

So, the answer to my question of what it is that keeps you from honoring the teachings of Jesus regarding brotherhood and loving people in distress - it's the bigotry. Thanx for clearing that up. I can say that failure in this regard is quite common among the Christians I know. They've chosen to spit on Jesus so they can exercise primarily bigotry, racism, misogynism, and contempt for others. Jesus weeps....

 

[Shadow Wolf]

Why would anyone have to show Christians how to follow the simple teachings of Jesus??

Threaten people with eternal destruction? Having a very public tantrum? Cursing an out if season fruit tree for not having fruit? Enforcing the rule of a genocidal tryant he called father and god? Saying he's going to turn family against eachother? Thoughtcrime?

By grace we are saved through faith.
All our righteousness are as filthy rags.

Being blind or deaf is a physical defect. Being confused is a psychological defect.

I believe He also weeps for children who become victims of predatory doctors and pharmaceutical companies, and woke school administrators who push the transsexual nonsense.

You seem to be interested in parroting Satanic doctrine.

C of E has a diversity drive...

Thoughts?

'Bishops in the diocese of Lichfield have issued new guidance in a letter to parishioners and clergy reminding them that LGBT people 'can be called to roles of leadership and service in the local church'.

The guidance, titled 'welcoming and honouring LGBT+ people', warns that the church's reputation as being unwelcoming towards gay and transgender people is causing young people to stay away.'

Transgender people encouraged to become Church of England priest

Transgender people in Staffordshire and the Black Country are being encouraged to become Church of England vicars as top clerics launch a new initiative.

I don't have any skin in the game for how the Church of England conducts itself, but I consider inclusion to be a good thing, because continued proximity and community with trans people is the fastest route away from transphobia.

And a tavern or night club is the best place to get over the fear of alcoholism.

I would rather be a monk, but being a priest would be great. I think I'd make a good one. It would go right along with what I want to do with mental health work and writing, as well.

Maybe if I ever move to the UK.

You are of course correct. Otherwise...

"Ratcliffe's motivation was in part hostility to Brianna's transgender identity."
- Life sentences for teenagers who murdered Brianna Ghey

"The memorial at the town’s Golden Square shopping precinct was organised for 3pm, the time that Brianna was murdered on 11 February last year in Culcheth Linear Park."
- Brianna Ghey’s mother tells vigil daughter was ‘amazing, unique and joyful’

“For a lot of young people who are trans or grappling with their identity, seeing two parents thrown into the national media spotlight talking about her with such love is really powerful.”
- Brianna Ghey has ‘humanised’ trans debate in Warrington, says MP

Can you name any of these doctors, pharmacies, or administrators?

You seem to be having big feelings over transfolk.

Deep breath. It's ok. We've existed for thousands of years. And the medical stuff is not new either just look up Magnus Hirschfield.

The world has gone on this long. Youll be fine.

 

[Revoltingest]

I guess we just can't measure up to your superiority.

You're new here.
We have high hopes.

I see you're still trying to justify yourself.

So that’s a no. Did you just make up people to demonize? Is that a teaching of Jesus?

What's "satanic doctrine"? Is that a conservative christian codeword for critical thinking?

Church of England does something most RFers agree is morally good.

Also RF: WELL HANG ON WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.

Idk how this thread has gone so downhill.
