When it suits his purpose, even that son a bitch Satan will tell you you’re going to Hell if he thinks he can convince you as a Christian that you’re not living “right”.

A couple of months ago I wrote an article asking pastors to acknowledge in their own churches that there are people, Christians who are hurting, Christians who are transgender who only want to have fellowship with other Christians.

Seemed simple enough. First let me say there was an amazing positive response and humbling number of shares of that article on Facebook. But… there were a few pastors who didn’t seem to care that there were some hurting people who might want to be part of their congregations.

I received comments like these…

“Sad how you think that Jesus would just put His arms around sinners and let them stay the way they are.”

“Almost as if the writer is urging pastors not to preach against sin, because they’ll feel rejected.”

“That is because you are embracing sin and not repenting of it.”

“Come ye out from among them and be ye separate…touch not the unclean thing and i will receive you.”

“Finding it hard to reconcile being transgender and being Christian, everyone around me keeps telling me I am going to burn in hell and I am feeling depressed and suicidal. Sometimes I feel like God has abandoned me, help.”

“They know what they’re doing. They will not rest until everyone totally agrees with them. They’re coming for you and your church next. They already got your children and the government. Be ready”

“That’s like giving a drunk a drink. Teach Gods word! Love the sinner, hate the sin. Can’t condone they’re behavior.”

“Whoever wrote this is a sinner in need of a Savior. We don’t need to change our preaching the Truth of God for sinners.”

Well, I WROTE the article, I’m a sinner just as are every one of the Pastors (and yes, they were all Pastors) who penned those comments as we ALL are and yes, we are all in need of a Savior. And we have one, His name is Jesus!

The first couple of days these comments bothered me, I felt attacked. Then I realized that they were poor unfortunate souls who I’m sure love God but their own personal biases and bigotry have tainted their theology. So then I felt sorry for them. And I prayed for them, their churches and their congregations.

Since then I’ve seen some posts that greatly disturb me. Not from Pastors but from Christians – Christians who are transgender and feeling greatly judged and condemned by people around them, many they may respect as godly “leaders”. Here’s a sample…

“…my faith is not very good right now.”

“As a Christian have you ever needed to talk to God and, just cry out and get no answers? Sometimes I think it’s because I’m trans.”

“Finding it hard to reconcile being transgender and being Christian, everyone around me keeps telling me I am going to burn in hell and I am feeling depressed and suicidal. Sometimes I feel like God has abandoned me, help.”

Again, each of those quotes came from Christians, followers of Christ. That last quote, “I feel like God has abandoned me, help.” Do you understand WHY this person feels like God has abandoned them? Not because He has, but because they are surrounded by people telling them what a horrible sinner they are to be transgender, how even if being transgender was a sin (it’s not but that’s probably another article) that somehow it is unforgivable. That somehow God will forgive those fat slobs of Pastors for whom gluttony wasn’t a sin that bothered them (I saw photos of them on Facebook) and the other ones who clearly have perfected their life to be just like Jesus that they feel safe to condemn other’s “sin” because there is no sin in their own life that needs addressing.

HIPPOCRITES! Even if being transgender was a sin, they would still be hypocrites – not letting that log in their eye get in the way of pointing out the splinter in yours.

My brothers and sisters, if you’re transgender – you don’t need Bible verses to justify why God will accept you. People who say you’re going to hell just think (no matter the evidence – much less what you actually know and tell them) you CHOSE this. They are wrong. Bible verses won’t convince them that they are wrong. NOTHING you can say will convince them that they are wrong. In my mind, the ONLY thing that might change their mind is if they have a transgender child of their own at some time (or maybe a grandchild.)

The person who is driving the “you will burn in Hell” from Christians is Satan himself. He wants you to think that you will “burn in Hell” because you’re transgender. For that SOB, he wants you to walk away from God altogether or just give up and kill yourself. THAT’S what that SOB wants – he wants to DESTROY you, and if he can use Christians to do it then he will.

That you can’t be transgender and a Christian is a lie from the pit of Hell itself. All that son of a bitch has to do is give a Christian in your life a nudge to say something and then you a nudge to believe it – and there you go. Instant condemnation.

I’m not defending all people who are transgender, I’m not defending all human beings. God certainly has expectations that are clear in his word, but as a child of God, perfected through the blood of Christ I’m telling you that as a Christian, God doesn’t make your being transgender an issue when entering His presence.

Please, please, please – KNOW that you are loved by God. I totally get that dealing with Christians can be hard. But just remember that Christians are people and people can be (and often are) wrong. People are not the ultimate judge – God is.

If you’re a Christian, a follower of Christ – you’re not going to Hell. Period. Just that simple. People who say so are wrong and I don’t care what kind of Bible education they have or how many degrees they have that follow their name.

Christ’s salvation is simple, if you’ve accepted that – don’t let man’s “but ifs….” trip you up. Some people just have too much time on their hands.

I’m looking forward to hanging out and laughing with y’all in Heaven with our Father!!! (who knows – there might be some “educated” Bible teachers who aren’t there.)

-Blessings
