Transexuality and Religion

[NulliuSINverba]

If the leper (sinner) suffered from leprocy (sin) and was healed and told to "sin" no more... Clearly it's talking metaphorically. Sinner set free. Spotted/unclean mind to unspotted/clean mind.

Was leprosy (the medical condition, not the metaphorical affliction to which you're alluding) literally viewed as the consequences of spiritual uncleanliness? If so, to what sort of spiritual shortcoming(s) would theists be obliged to view the medical condition of transsexualism (as Saint Frankenstein has asserted above) as a consequence of?

 

[Saint Frankenstein]

Not even in the slightest. And your perfunctory dismissal betrays a glaring lack of sensitivity to lepers everywhere.

...

You've asserted that (and I quote): "Transsexualism is a medical condition and shouldn't be a religious issue at all."

You'll note that this is not a medical forum, but a religious one. So if anyone is off-topic here, it is the OP and yourself. I'm not going to advocate that this thread be removed, however ... because medical conditions are very often religious issues. Which is why I asked you to explain why the Bible spends so much time talking about leprosy.

...

Now. If you're done avoiding the original question ...

Still off topic and I'm ignoring you now. Have fun trying to change the subject for inane reasons.

Still off topic

You've utterly failed to demonstrate that. You've merely asserted it.

The subject was transexuality [sic] and religion. You opted to define transsexualism as a medical condition and then opined (despite the second half of the thread's title) that it wasn't a religious issue. So to bring up another medical condition that certainly has been a religious issue is not at all off-topic.

and I'm ignoring you now. Have fun trying to change the subject for inane reasons.

That's fine. Your input was proving to be marginal (at best) anyway.

Again: If (as Saint Frankenstein has already insisted) transsexuality is a medical condition and that medical conditions are not religious issues ... why does the Bible spend so much time dealing with a medical issue such as leprosy? It's a fair question.

...

Obviously, I'm challenging Saint Frank's rather blatantly flawed claim that medical conditions cannot also be religious issues.

Many spiritual shortcomings. It wouldn't be necessarily labeling all as these types of "theists," rather any being that don't know the truth.

It would be as such as myself for an example: pondering over and seeking truth to why I'm in the overall average part of the pack when it comes to looks, finances, ability, knowledge, all of the variables and circumstances I am consciously placed in while others are are in theirs. Yet used to complain over the silliest things. The truth is, I had no free will over this, the ability and circumstances including health were not given or doing of myself, they were doing of a higher design, and when I came to truth and abundant life within... Any ignorance, arrogance, or pride of "self" deceased. My circumstances, ability, surroundings were not of my selection. I would trade my place in conscious life for that of another. Here is a good explanation:

When you see the truth, helping others is the only way. After the ultimate truth is discovered, spiritual people see others as themselves, so they love to help others. It is a natural way. We know that everyone is just like us. We put ourselves in other people's shoes and do the thing we would want done if we were really them, and that we can be like others in the future or have been in the past. Back to hell we go, in another physical body, and another experience of travailing pain until we discover the truth and abundant life. Hell must be experienced before paradise.
Spiritual being's see everyone as their own family. Truth is, we are one family of life on Earth. . spiritual beings are much more aware and feel other people's pain, pleasure, level of fullfillment more acutely.

The Christ conscious or Buddah conscious, etc.

He who experiences the unity of life sees his own Self in all beings, and all beings in his own Self, and looks on everything with an impartial eye.
Buddha

Cosmic energy (holy spirit) from the cosmos can significantly improve and heal ones mind and body and be of pure comfort to the afflicted to see the true treasures of life regardless of circumstances and be at genuine peace and contentment. The questions of why and why me dissipate. God's love and manifestation are in all alike.
