I get the sentiment, but Jesus did say he came to fulfill the law (of the old testament) not banish it. The old laws describe being lgbt as an abomination.

So even in Jesus's eyes there's a good theological argument that being trans and gay is still sinful, but it's simply something you're suppose to be "cured" of if you convert to Christianity.

I only point it out to describe how Christians justify this stuff and why appealing to Jesus's broader sermons isn't necessarily enough.

@contrasocial @jeffowski I think saying that the old laws describe being LGBT as abomination is an interpretation and I don't think it's probably the one the authors meant.

If that's the interpretation you have though Luke 19 then tells you that those who refuse to change their ways should be dragged before him and slain at his feet. There are other ways to interpret that also, but it would seem the most direct and straight forward one.

@contrasocial @jeffowski Also, the ones who use this and say that Jesus came to fulfill the law rather than eliminate it have their little get out of jail card for anything they think they should be allowed to do anyway: teh law is fulfilled and now it's all about grace. LGBTQ+ is still evil because it's disgraceful but murder and mayhem are not.

The old testament doesn't say a lot about trans people (if anything at all), and the no pedophilia commandment was only changed to no gay stuff after the church became the organisation that protects pedos.
