THE TRUTH ABOUT TRANS<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n

Genesis 1: 26-27<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Romans 1: 18-28<\/strong><\/h2>\n

by Rev. Richard Jones<\/b><\/h2>\n

GOD’S DESIGN
\n<\/u>Genesis 1:26-27 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n26\u00a0 Then God said, \u201cLet us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.\u201d
\n27\u00a0 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

MANKIND’S DEFIANCE<\/u>
\n<\/u>Romans 1:18-28 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n18\u00a0 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19\u00a0 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20\u00a0 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21\u00a0 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22\u00a0 Claiming to be wise, they became fools, 23\u00a0 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. 24\u00a0 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25\u00a0 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. 26\u00a0 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27\u00a0 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error. 28\u00a0 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.<\/p>\n

Psalm 19:1-2 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
\n2\u00a0 Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.<\/p>\n

Psalm 14:1 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1 The fool says in his heart, \u201cThere is no God.\u201d They are corrupt, they do abominable deeds, there is none who does good.<\/p>\n

1 Timothy 4:1-2 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n1\u00a0 Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2\u00a0 through the insincerity of liars whose consciences are seared,<\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 (ESV)<\/strong>
\n9\u00a0 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, 10\u00a0 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11\u00a0 And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.<\/p>\n
