What the Bible Does & Does Not Say About Transgender People
You are talking about this and then it happens: someone pulls out a Bible verse and declares that God is against transgender people.
You’ve heard it from pulpits, from politicians, maybe from your own family.
But, Beloved, here’s the truth: the Bible does NOT say what these people claim it does. In fact, what the Bible does say about this is actually fully affirming!
So today, we dig in and set the record straight about what the Bible doesn’t say, what it does say, and why this matters so much right now!
