Not Attracted to Transgender Women? “Work Through That”

Many Christians, myself included, have been saying for years that the ultimate purpose of the gay lobby is not “tolerance” of their views—it’s forcing everyone to approve of and celebrate their sinful ideas. Well, one transgender activist, Zinnia Jones, has reportedly taken this a step further. Jones wants everyone not only to accept and celebrate transgender and homosexual behavior, but also to participate in it.

Through a series of tweets laced with inappropriate language (if you choose to visit the news link, please use discretion), Jones tweeted that if “straight guys” aren’t attracted to transgender women they “should try to work through that.” Apparently Jones believes that “being exclusionary of trans women partners should be an outlier and marginal position for straight men, not some commonplace expectation.”

Who really has the hate problem here?

By the way, we have also seen that when a person disagrees with homosexual behavior and does so based on what God’s Word teaches, many in the LGBTQ movement will accuse that person of hate. Yet many in the LGBTQ community who make this accusation often do so with hate-filled, blasphemous language, using expletives and sexually perverse comments! Who really has the hate problem here?

What does God’s Word have to say to activists like Jones who urge others to participate in sinful behaviors?

Woe to those who call evil good
    and good evil,
who put darkness for light
    and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
    and sweet for bitter! (Isaiah 5:20)
But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea. (Matthew 18:6)

But God’s Word also has a message of hope for everyone, including Jones.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God. (1 Peter 3:18)
In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

The world is increasingly pushing sinful behaviors, and the pressure is growing to abandon biblical truth for culturally acceptable narratives. However, “we must obey God rather than man” (Acts 5:29) as we boldly stand for truth and lovingly preach the good news of the gospel to everyone.

Thanks for stopping by and thanks for praying,
