The Sogie Bill ✍

"Nailagay yata ako sa maling katawan dahil lalake ako pero hindi ako sa babae naa-attract kundi sa kapwa ko lalake atsaka mga pambabaeng laruan ang gusto ko." said a gay friend.

I wonder if sino kaya ang tinutukoy nyang nagkamali na naglagay sa kanya sa katawan ng lalake? Does he mean it to be God as the one who mistook his gender since God is our Creator? But is God capable of making mistakes? For whatever reason, I find this claim unacceptable. Why? Should I think that God erred in creating this disorderly world in light of all of its troubles? If my husband and I constantly argue and quarrel, should I conclude that God made a mistake by sending me him? Is it logical to think that God made a mistake by giving us our children if they behave badly over and over again? And should I claim that God erred in creating individuals who continually oppose and reject Jesus because they are His enemies? Should I say that God is wrong for letting unrighteous as us to exist in this world that He owns?

Truth: God is faultless. He makes no mistakes, and there is neither chance nor accident in Him. He didn't mistakenly create you. He intends it. As God is full of wisdom, so are His masterpieces. He gave us a sound mind so that we could distinguish right from wrong and the lies of Satan from the truth.

God created male and female humans in His own image and likeness. (Genesis 1:27). Whether we accept it or not, facts will be facts (pagbalibaligtarin man ang mundo), and the truth will remain the truth that God created ONLY two sexes. (Genesis 5:2)

Who wants to be confused about their gender identity? Indeed, no one wants to find themselves in an unpleasant situation when they don't know what to do since their head, heart, and soul are out of sync with their outward appearance. "A woman trapped in a man's body," or vice versa, could be one of the most difficult challenges a person faces. 

God has given each of us physical evidence of our gender identities through our male and female genitalia that confirms who we are intended to be and how we should behave and live. Yet others still question their gender, despite the existence of these proofs, saying, "Feeling ko kasi talaga, bagamat lalake ako sa labas ay babae tlga ako" (or vice versa).

FIRST:  Emotions/Feelings. "Feeling ko kasi" is one of the most critical points in one's persona. Our "feelings" or "emotions," which frequently speak louder than our thoughts, cause us to miss reality. Our feelings are so strong that they control every aspect of who we are. They influence how we make decisions and what we do, which affects how our lives will turn out in the future. As a result, we act in ways that appear to be right, and since we are overwhelmed by our feelings, we are blind to see that we are heading down the path of ruin (Proverbs 14:12).

SEC0ND, there is the devil (the adversary). Eve fell into Satan's trap when she violated God's command and ate the forbidden fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. This thus served as Satan's entry point (or "foothold") into humanity, poisoning the world with confusion, deception, and all manner of negativity. The serpent's remark to Eve started with, "Is it true...?" questioning God's character of truth and casting doubt on Eve's faith in God. And this is how Satan tempts us, he causes us to experience confusion, doubt, and other bad feelings to thwart God's best plan and purpose for our lives and make us hate the life God gave us. (Dumarating ang magnanakaw para lamang magnakaw, pumatay, at manira. Naparito ako upang ang mga tupa ay magkaroon ng buhay, ng isang buhay na masagana-John 10:10) Consequently, if you find yourself in a long period of bewilderment, remember that this is not from God. They are the devil's traps, and they require divine assistance. Seek out godly individuals for guidance and help..

THIRD.   Magnifying or exaggerating the bad and the negatives. If we dwell on false beliefs while doing nothing to push them away from our minds and avoid them, they will eventually seep deeper into our bodily system, swallowing our entire being, until we are forced to act on things that are not true. This is exactly what Eve did in the garden; instead of rejecting and fleeing from the serpent, she entertained him, conversed with him, and listened to what he was saying. She fell for Satan's trick, which led her to sin. Like Eve, some transgender people welcomed the god of confusion into their lives and have even shown signs of the devil's falsehoods by dressing as women when they are truly men or vice versa, engaging in intersex relationships, and even undergoing sex change procedures to change their God-given anatomy. They were so vulnerable that they fell for Satan's bait. It could be because they do not know the truth, are unaware of God's word, or simply dislike it. Regrettably, many of those trapped in Satan's web appeared intelligent and sophisticated in their pursuit of satisfying their fleshly desires, not realizing that they were actually presenting themselves as desperately pleading for help. This is why reading the Bible is so important—to discern the enemy's tactics and be able to fight and win.

To live wisely and victoriously, we must be watchful, because everyone of us is fighting a kind of struggle within that is caused by the spiritual adversary, with our thoughts(minds) serving as the battlefield. So are you unsure of your gender? Never forget to go back to the spiritual core of human history, to the basics of how God created you. and recognize that you are valuable and loved, made for HIS purpose and glory.

"Wala pang pagsubok na dumating sa inyo na hindi nararanasan ng ibang tao. Tapat ang Diyos, at hindi niya ipapahintulot na kayo'y subukin nang higit sa inyong makakaya. Sa halip, pagdating ng pagsubok, bibigyan niya kayo ng lakas upang makayanan ito at ng paraan upang malampasan ito.--1 C0RINT0 10:13

🙏Through Jesus, I give thanks to God, our Creator.
