As long as the dress and manner is not disruptive to the sacred ceremony its fine, but that's the Mormon attitude, so mileage may vary.

"Do not imagine that if you meet a really humble man he will be what most people call ‘humble’ nowadays: he will not be a sort of greasy, smarmy person, who is always telling you that, of course, he is nobody. Probably all you will think about him is that he seemed a cheerful, intelligent chap who took a real interest in what you said to him. If you do dislike him it will be because you feel a little envious of anyone who seems to enjoy life so easily. He will not be thinking about humility: he will not be thinking about himself at all.

If anyone would like to acquire humility, I can, I think, tell him the first step. The first step is to realize that one is proud. And a biggish step, too. At least, nothing whatever can be done before it. If you think you are not conceited, it means you are very conceited indeed."
**- C.S Lewis**

Of course not, my attire would be appropriate.

I hope you feel better soon, I will pray for you

I most definitely wouldn't. One of the biggest thing that the Bible says that a lot of people seem to ignore is "Come as you are." Don't be afraid to come as you are. God's arms are open to you. Unfortunately many churches won't like you because of your transgenderism, but there will always be someone who lives by the "come as you are" doctrine. I encourage you to find a church that will accept you for who you are (don't join a progressive church though. They will accept you, but they believe a lot of crap that is not true). Where do you live?

So does that mean churchs should have gay marriages?

I don’t know but transsexuality is a bit against Catholicism’s norms/traditions

I’m not sure but I think that Christianity rejects transsexuality

Concerning only Catholicism I’m 80% sure

well, i think that gay marriage is different from actually having gender dysphoria

while it may be true that some people have more natural inclinations towards the same sex that does not mean the act itself is not a sin. i think you can feel attractions towards the same sex without acting on them and it not be a sin unless you start lusting, same with opposite sex attraction

Funny how you say that. I have a bible verse that says even if you thought if you thought of it in your mind it this a sin.

Read this


but I tell you that everyone who gazes at a. woman to lust after her has committed. adultery with her already in his heart.

yeah, jesus says that even looking with lust would be adultury in the heart, that speaking of lust though, not just attraction. like if i see an attractive girl and think "hmm she's good looking" thats not sin, but when i get lustfull sexual thoughts then its a problem

lol you beat me to it

Gtg

Take care, watermelon

alright 👍

God bless you

cya round

No. It goes against what the bible says. Churches shouldn't care about attraction, but lust, sex, and marriage between the same gender is completely wrong. But a church should let anyone in regardless of their problems, which is unfortunately easier said than done

quite right

As to transgenderism and the Christian view, it is a mental disease called gender dysphoria, and those people should be loved just the same as everyone else because God loves them the same as everyone else, (also over 95% of them grow out of it). God does not approve of transitioning, but He empathizes with the mental ramifications that the disease can have. But if you have an XY and a D, then you are a guy, and you will be referred to as such, and if you have an XX and a V, then you are a gal, and you will be referred to as such.

"And so God Hardened pharohs heart so he would not relent."

That speaks more to things used to be made for quality and to last, vs now where companies have planned obsoletion. Just like car parts. Why do you think every year some new part breaks you need to have fixed just often its an inconvenience but not enough of them for the entire car to break down?

What can anyone REALLY know they do not experience for themselves? They cannot. They can only look at the signs and see if it makes sense. God is a logical God, not one of chaos and whims. He left the Bible both as a guideline book and as proof that cannot be refuted by even some of the most historically inclined.

Do I believe that God has I giant spiderweb of plans and contingencies? Yes. But even Jesus was pretty sparing with his Miracles, using debate and argument to sway people more than "making it rain" blessings on people.

In the Bible, a rainbow appearing after the flooding of the earth was considered to be a miracle performed by God. Science now describes the intricacies of a rainbow and why it appears. Is it still a miracle?

It was a not a miracle. God even said it was a Sign.

I am of the belief that our very existence, our conception at birth, is a miracle performed by God.

There are miracles happening all around us, however we live in a world where darkness surrounds us. It blinds us from seeing God’s beauty as we should.

people are giddy to make anything into a miracle, thereby cheapening actual miracles when they do happen.

That is your opinion

There is a difference between the beauty of the universe and miracles.

That is your opinion. You see how that isnt an argument?

It is true that there are more wonders in existance than the human mind ever can or will comprehend in its entire life and the few that are revealed are to be enjoyed. But just because there are infinite amounts of stars on a nights sky does not mean that is a miracle.

There are some more modern examples

I see severe catholic idolotry and gaudy gold and jewel clad statues for people to pray to. It even said they prayed to the saint, not god. God might have spared them but I dont imagine him apreciating them praying to anyone but him.

Mel Gibsons house was amazingly untouched after that forest fire but nobody said it was a miracle. They just said god was protecting it.

Is Mel Gibson a saint then?
