In this thread, we do not need to start by finding out what we agree on. If anyone wants to debate whether trans is OK, we will ask them to leave this thread and start their own thread. One person was already asked to leave. If anyone wants to provoke a debate on that issue from the other side in this thread, I ask that they do so in another thread too. That is not what this thread is for.Josh wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 8:06 amI suppose we need to first start by finding out what we do actually agree on. My perspective is that the Bible teaches that crossdressing is an abomination, which means we need to treat it like a sin. The fact society in some circles accepts it doesn't change how sinful it is.Bootstrap wrote: ↑Fri Apr 05, 2024 5:53 am On Page 3, we were seeing posts like this.
I'd like to get back to that. Requests:
1. Please don't tell other people what is wrong with them. Let's talk about what we each think we should do to get it right.
2. In this thread, we assume that we are created male and female, and that your birth gender is your gender. That can be debated in other threads, not here.
3. Please don't tell people what they really think. Tell us what you really think.
I think this works best when we each focus on sharing our own understanding of the Bible and relationships we are working things out in. To the extent we can - a lot of that may not be best to spill out on a public forum.
Do you have some examples that show how you or others have done this well in your own life? Or things you have tried that went wrong? How do you personally approach living in a society where many people may see your views as wrong or even toxic? That's what this thread is for.
