Think things can’t get crazier?  Think again.  I came across a video of a clearly transgender person gleefully affirming that being transgender is part of the plan of God because God is transgender.  You read that right. This person had evidently been reading a gross mistranslation of scripture that has been making the rounds lately, saying that the Holy Spirit is a female.  Therefore, it stands to reason that God is transgender. This is just another attempt of humans twisting the scripture to say what they want it to say.

In ancient writings words were said to be masculine, feminine, or neutral.  In Hebrew, the word “spirit” is said to be feminine.  In Latin it is masculine.  In Greek it is neutral. But the chief liar has grasped hold of the “feminine” thing and is deceiving folks with heresy…again. When Jesus spoke of the coming of the Holy Spirit, He called the Spirit “he”.  Case closed. 

God has presented Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.  But we can barely fathom the fullness of His essence. He is not a created being with a particular sex or gender.  But He did create two humans with somewhat of His image inherent in their creation. But because He created two (and only two) genders doesn’t mean that He vacillates between sexes at His whim. He created Adam…a male…and Eve…a female.  They were created differently for a reason. Satan is doing all he can to deceive mankind into thinking God has human characteristics and thus acts like us and thinks like us. Therefore, we can, and will, create a God in our minds that approves all human vanities and desires.

God is not “non-binary”, “transgendered”, “bi-sexual”, “queer” or any sexual term.  He is the great I AM, creator and sustainer of all that exists.  If He presents Himself in the masculine in each of His manifestations, then we had better stick to that.  To do otherwise is pure blasphemy.  And there is a dire warning to those who teach such falsehoods: Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble.” Luke‬ 17‬:1‬-2‬
