JD: I recall that a while back when we were discussing this issue you brought out what I thought was a great point that tends to put this into a proper prospective and that has to do with the resurrection of the body.
DJ: Well we understand that the first resurrection will be at the rapture of the church before the great tribulation period. That will be the first phase of the first resurrection when the believers from the church age are resurrected and we receive our glorified body. And then the second phase would be at the second coming of Christ for Old Testament Saints and that will be the resurrection of the body. So all believers will have a resurrection into a physical body. But we also know there’s a second resurrection spoken of in Revelation chapter 20 in conjunction with the Great White Throne judgment and so unbelievers will also be resurrected in a physical body.
So that means that no matter what somebody might do to their
body for example, taking hormones to alter their physical appearance or even
going through sex reassignment surgery to alter their physical bodies the fact
is this that they are conceived and they are the gender that they are when they
were born, they’re DNA they’re genetics correspond to that gender.
And at the resurrection whatever has been done to our physical
bodies whether they be tattoos or any other modification the fact is we will be
resurrected with the physical gender that we had at birth. So we will spend all
of eternity with the gender that corresponds to what came into being at conception.
So we don’t hear this discussion very often but I think it’s a very important
question especially as it relates to Christians who think that they can side
step or go against what God has given through the natural conception process.
JD: David James with his Bible as the guideline for his response
to the transgender phenomenon a lifestyle that is chosen and not a result of
birth.
We report this information because it is setting the stage
for Bible prophecy to be fulfilled.
The Bible is ready to deal with any issue in our world today
especially the issue with sexuality. David James took the Bible and used the
truth of the resurrection of Jesus to deal with this transgender lifestyle that
is becoming more prevalent in our world. Transgender is a chosen lifestyle not
a result of a way one is born.
As we look at sexuality in the Bible we also see some
lifestyles are absolute evidence that we are in the last days before the return
of Jesus Christ to the earth.
