Vanessa
can come sing with me at church any time.
I could go off on many religious things that are a religious contention with trans and The Bible and God's Word - most would center around the divinity in creation of Man and Woman - the judgement of Sodam and gamora etc. etc.
But really it would come down to the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (gift given @ Pentecost and received upon salvation) and the issue of not giving up, fighting or attempting to rid yourself of sin and the conviction of The Spirit within thereof... so, it really comes down to the personal level and the personal relationship with Christ.
There is nothing /we/ humans can do for salvation - it is by Christ's blood and sacrifice - we must accept that and we hold faith that, that is what will gain us salvation - For whomever keeps the whole law, yet stumbles in one thing, is guilty of all... A sinner is a sinner, and we all have sinned and fallen short. So if Vanessa has proclaimed with her mouth that He is Lord and believes in their heat and soul that He is Lord - who am I as a brother in Christ to doubt the acceptance? Can we discuss the nature of sin, the fight of it? the same as we would want to help a fallen brother that is in drugs, or adultery etc. etc. as sin is all the same in the eyes of the lord.
So this is a hard thing for non believers to look at and grasp, how we could judge and damn the sin while embracing and loving the sinner... because, we ALL are sinners.
