Resurrection 1 Corinthians 15:15-22 NASB — Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified fnagainst God that He raised fnChrist, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in fnChrist all will be made alive.
Race (ethnos) continuing into heaven Revelation 7:9 NASB — After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could count, from every nation and all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palm branches were in their hands;

The material world is symbolic of the spiritual realm. If there is no spiritual component to sex there would be no reason to create the sexes.

idk if you are still checking back to this thread OP but a good way to deal with this is to just see it as you would any other sin.
If when you were young you felt the urge to hurt others that wouldn't make it an okay thing to do. Personally I deal with lust a lot. Sometimes I feel a strong urge to masturbate but that doesn't mean I should do it. You might stumble and sin again but you should try to fight the temptation the best you can. Ask God to help you and ask him for forgiveness. Depression can be really hard to deal with but transitioning won't likely make you feel any better. In fact since you are a christian knowingly sinning it might make you feel significantly worse.

Is this bait? Nice one OP.
In all seriousness if you are not baiting us go talk with your local Orthodox priest. Mutilating yourself IS a sin, so is homosexuality and sodomy.

No. Effeminacy is softness. Refusing to give up what is pleasurable to do what is arduous.

Loads and loads of sin. If perhaps you believe the "born in the wrong body" meme then thats a massive one as it implies you think God made a mistake. Also pic related.
You live as a man pretending to be a woman. Accept that you are a man and live your life as one And yet you make a thread about this, it seems like you aren't happy.
Everyone is telling OP to just live as a man, and he should. But people with gender identity disorder or whatever you want to call it need help on getting there. I recommend OP find a therapist who will help you work through the traumas of your life, and who understands that transgenderism is not healthy.
I was effeminate as a boy. I didn’t want to be because people teased me. I also felt it was inherently bad. But I didn’t know how to be more masculine which was very frustrating and depressing. I needed to work through many years of childhood trauma. That was the only way I could leave effeminacy behind. Due to my trauma, I was weak. I couldn’t even hold my head up. I couldn’t play by the rules of masculinity, so I tried to bypass them by being effeminate (not transgender as I didn’t even know what that was).
Remember this. Yes trans people need to be told to stop doing it, but they need more tools to help them. OP, google trans regret and reach out to these people.

You're a dude who never had his test levels kick in because of xenoestrogens and industrial poisoning, but instead of waiting for puberty to hit late and starting to lift f.e. you went in the completely opposite direction and took women hormones. Hormones decide how u feel about yourself, but you fell for the faggot propaganda and now u think God made you this way, lol. Detransition and lift, maybe take the test that you would've had in a less poisoned environment.

Also, the only people on this board who would encourage you to go down the homo-path are Catholics, but they aren't Christians.
