I was raised in the UMC and my parents and brother still are. I now a minister with the Assembly of God. My heart breaks as I know does the Lord's when things like this are done in the name of Christian Biblical policy. If one truly reads the Word of God it will be clear that transgender, transexual or any other form of perversion is directly apposed to what the scriptures teach in word and principal. I agree that we should minister to those who are deluded by the adversary of God (Satan) but to see them delivered not made to feel that they were some mistake or mishap of creation. This is a sin issue not a genetic or cromosomal issue. Man from the beginning has tried to give excusses for his sin. Adam tried to blame Eve and Eve tried to blame the serpant. Man is responsible for his own action and needs a Savior (Jesus Christ) to deliver him from the sinful nature. We should not make or change our biblical views or perspective to give validation to or justify sin. We need to allow righteousness to reign and seek the kingdom of God.
