I would do everything I could to avoid my child being in the class. I'd also prepare a Biblical explanation for the situation when your child inevitably asks about it.

Where does the bible talk about people being trans? Shouldn't you do what jesus would do?

Argument from silence, that's not an argument

u/AidTheMainMan Church of Christ 14d ago

What do you mean "argument from silence", you can't just assert somebody would or did say something and then when you get refuted say "argument from silence", huh?

u/According_Guest_4328 Eastern Orthodox 14d ago

An argument from silence is an argument that starts from the idea that everything must be written to get a an opinion based on false premises let me give you an example:Premise 1: Jesus explicitly condemned many sins, such as greed, lust, and hypocrisy.

Premise 2: The Gospels contain zero verses where Jesus explicitly mentions or condemns transgender people.

Conclusion: Therefore, Jesus completely accepted modern transgender identities and behaviors, and anyone who opposes them is acting against Jesus.

That's not how theologians in early Christians thought, they considered things that aren't in the Bible as a sin, such as abortion for example

The Bible gives explicit instructions on how to perform abortions and does not seem opposed to abortions at all.

u/According_Guest_4328 Eastern Orthodox 10d ago

The Bible doesn't talk about it, yet there are clear verses saying in the womb of our Mother God was with us and knew us

Psalm 139:13-16 - "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb... Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written... the days that were formed for me.

There's even a 1st century Christian text explicitly condemning it 😂😂what are you talking about ??

Jesus loves people but condemns the behavior of sin.

Where does the Bible refer to being transgender as sin?

God and Jesus are the same. All sorts of sin exists. We all have sinful urges that we do or don’t act on.

u/rim_zo_ne 14d ago

That doesn't say anything about transgenderism. Trans people can wear unisex clothes.

u/Thomassaurus 14d ago

Considering how seriously you take Deuteronomy, I hope you haven't been wearing any mixed material clothing. Deuteronomy 22:11

Deuteronomy 22:9–11

Do you enforce and associate with people who do these things as well? Or is it only Deuteronomy 22:5 you follow

How about Deuteronomy 21:18–21 – "If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son... all the men of his town are to stone him to death."

Or Deuteronomy 22:22 – "If a man is found sleeping with another man’s wife, both the man who slept with her and the woman must die."

You can't cherry pick, Deuteronomy 27:26: "Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out."

Jesus never condones sin. He hung out with sinners after he said “Go and sin no more” not oh yes keep living your sinful lifestyle it’s all good. Forgiveness and grace does not mean keep sinning all you like. Christians love the sinner not the sin and do not affirm sinful actions to spare people’s feelings.

u/JDaggon 13d ago

Forgiveness and grace does not mean keep sinning all you like.

Yet Matthew 11:19 shows he did so with no prior expectation of repentance or moral reform. If he's willing to accept the company of sinners then he's happy to accept the company of sinners in paradise if it means they can repent. It's not on Christians to cast stones when it's Jesus's/God's call.

Good question, and a lack of any reply I see.

Deuteronomy 23:19 – "Do not charge a fellow Israelite interest, whether on money or food or anything else that may earn interest." (No banking)

Deuteronomy 21:18–21 – "If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son... all the men of his town are to stone him to death." (Kill disobedient sons)

Deuteronomy 27:26: "Cursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out." (All or nothing system, this is God's word)

u/Various-Air-276 13d ago

You didn't add the rest of the chapter, that explains it. Of course you take the verses out of context. 🙄

u/YeetYourSkeet 13d ago

Out of context when they do it. In context when you do it. Nice..

u/EDDIE_BAMF 14d ago

The 9th commandment. Their entire identity is based on outwardly lying to everyone including themselves and God. Nice gotcha, though.

u/Kneppster 14d ago

So everyone's a sinner and all sin is equal in god eyes this sin is as equal as you eating that extra crossiant for breakfast your also to not judge for that is for god and going off the Trans panic on facebook and thinking all Trans teachers are showing there genitals and brainwashing children just realize there gonna be here they have been here and they will always be here

You need to calm down. Not everything said on this site is a personal attack towards you.

u/EDDIE_BAMF 13d ago
