Does God Care about Gender Identity? (Samuel D. Ferguson)

In our society, gender identity has been divorced from biology and rerooted in psychology, and people are increasingly questioning who they are designed to be. In this video, Samuel D. Ferguson shares when this question became personal to him, and he carefully walks through the core beliefs of the transgender movement, comparing them with fundamental truths expressed in Scripture.
Samuel D. Ferguson is rector of The Falls Church Anglican in Metro Washington, DC, and author of The Spirit and Relational Anthropology in Paul. Through a decade of pastoral work and extensive research in biblical anthropology, Ferguson seeks to thoughtfully engage modern conversations about gender identity with biblical wisdom. Samuel D. Ferguson is also the author of 'Does God Care about Gender Identity?', a concise booklet that compares the core beliefs and practices of the transgender movement with Scripture, encouraging readers to live out their God-given identity.

Biblically and beautifully stated.

How amazing that the two of you were able to seek the answer so deeply. There are beautiful & wonderful people wrapped in gender identity and homosexuality. I’ve known some and known of even more. It always breaks my heart to hear them say that they are a Christian. They believe Jesus is their savior just like we do. But, of course we know differently. You explained that with such gentleness and grace, but the answer is always the same isn’t it. They must renew their minds just like anyone else living a life of sin. Thank you for a much needed explanation. And, though our hearts my ache for them, God’s word says lack of knowledge is no excuse. If they really want the truth, God has provided it clearly with his Word!
I don’t comment as often as I should because I always have so much to say. But, I thoroughly enjoy this channel and pray for it to grow because so much of what you do no one else is doing! And, though people may not realize but the world desperately needs your messages! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️

You have given me great insight on a difficult topic that has become popular throughout my generation recently. Above all I believe we must approach the conversation with love because too many people have believed the lie that God and Christians hate the LGBT community. When in actuality we are the people that love them the most and God loves them more than they could fathom. I have watched this video countless times and learn something new each watch. Thank you for sharing.

Fabulous explanation.

Will you hold a similar perspective when it comes to people born with non- life- threatening conditions such as a cleft lip, club foot,, dwarfism, impaired vision/ hearing etc? Would you or in your view our Creator not support medical intervention in order to alleviate pain, discomfort, social oddity....?
