Any suggestion that gender can be exchanged or re-formulated breaches the limits of sanity.
Everyone in his right mind knows this. As a logical, moral people, we know we shouldn’t even be having conversations about something so preposterous. The real issue, then, is that not everyone is in his right mind.
[How do people become callused to God’s truth? see: Rom. 1:18-32]
Fortunately, this isn’t just my opinion. Gender is actually a Biblical concept. That means God first created sexual distinction and then He defined the differences. These differences didn’t emerge randomly or evolve over a period of time.
For this reason, gender cannot be correctly understood or applied outside of a Scriptural context. In the International Council on Gender Studies’ publication, Five Aspects of Man, the groundwork upon which transgenderism is built can be described from a Biblical perspective:
It is “…the direct result of feminism and homosexuality built on the foundational sins of idolatry and autonomy.”
If a man doesn’t understand why God created him, then he’s going to build his life around something other than Him by creating idols for himself. The result is that everything and everyone connected to his Biblically mandated authority and guardianship begins to fall apart.
Because a wife and children are responders, they learn to reject the husband’s/father’s authority in the same way that he rejects God’s authority. And so begins the cycle of delusion and depravity—a generational devaluation of the created order which was originally proclaimed to be “good.”
And while autonomy isn’t always a bad dog, the context here suggests an attitude completely free from external control or influence—something clearly incompatible with being a disciple of Jesus Christ. The result is that autonomous behavior simply becomes a warm-up act, setting the stage for just about any form of decadence to perform.
Sexual deviance is now a rockstar singing its final song. With razor edges, it’s shredding the remaining remnant of a great moral fabric under which free people once shrouded themselves.
How long will we allow the show to go on?
It’s a real heart-breaker.
