"One thing is for sure if you were to come to my church you would hear the truth Preached. Sir if you would get born again and meet Christ at the cross from that point you would never cross dress again.... Sir I pray that the Holy Ghost of God would convict you and save your soul from a devil's hell."
"It saddens me to think that the devil has already used you greatly in the war to win souls to Christ. If you wanted to change and repent of what the bible declares sin I believe the church would accept you. If you wanted to join a church to keep cross dressing...then don't expect one to embrace you. Repenting means turning from sin to God! I pray for your soul to accept the God given norms He instituted 2000 years ago."
"If you are coming to me for acceptance and justification for what you are doing - sorry - you picked the wrong person! Tell me where it says in the Bible where you, as a man, are able to dress as a woman - it ain't there!.... You need spiritual help, buddy!"
"I am sorry that your life is not what you desire - may I suggest in the kindest way that you take this problem to the Lord, ask his forgiveness for your sins, accept Jesus Christ as your personal Savior and live a new life in him - if you are unwilling to do that then you will never be happy - man was not created to live in sin... if you persist in e-mailing me I will take what every action is possible to have your spam blocked from all."
"Richard I'm praying for you...the devil is a trickster his specialty is deceiving the mind...but what we do Richard as Christians is walk by faith and not by sight...we don't give place to the flesh...in the beginning God created male and female and he has not changed or changed his mind or deviated from what is clean and unclean and holy from unholy...If we repent he is just and faithful to forgive us."
"I don't hate people who want to walk around in women's clothes (speaking of a man), but it is no more a common thing than a man marrying a dog. It isn't accepted! It is wrong social and moral behavior...This brings forth the issue of SIN. What has gone on in a person's life...that would cause a man to put on a dress (and maybe a bra, panties, nylons, high heels, etc.) What has he given his mind to? The mind is the battle ground that the devil fights for and after a certain amount of time, one can give in to something that he knows is wrong, knows that he doesn't want to do, but doesn't seem to have the power to say "no"...The blood of Jesus can cleanse just like a bar of soap, but if you don't use soap the dirt will still stay on you...Use it by faith and the 'dirt' will fall off...Put your trust in Him right now and give Him your heart. Repent of your sin and He will forgive and accept you."
"Brother, let me begin by saying that you will receive no condemnation from me. God created all of us equally, but not the same. I agree that the church has done as much harm to others as the devil has. But, I believe that is changing. The church is beginning to receive some of the compassion Jesus had for others. Since I have no experience with the situation you described, the only thing I can do is refer to the Word...Based on what I found, I cannot agree with your beliefs nor condone your actions...While I do agree that the legalistic attitudes of the church may have caused some hurts in others, the medical community is DEFINITELY NOT the answer. JESUS IS THE ANSWER. Perhaps you should seek the counsel of a compassionate minister or Christian who can help you break free from this bondage."
"Your letter to me as a pastor doesn't sound like a letter from someone who has a problem, it sounds like a letter from someone who has an agenda...I personally stand firm on what the Word of God says. You say you attend church, that is one thing...but the real question is are you living for Jesus Christ---is He your Lord? Jesus said if you love me you will keep my commandments (John 14:15). Jesus is also called the Word ( John 1:1-4) and He is called the Word of God ( Revelation 19:13). In the Word of God it is written: Deuteronomy 22:5...God doesn't change and neither does His Word. You might say that what I have written to you is under the law and we are under grace. Paul made it clear in Romans 6:15 What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. As a man of God I need to make you aware of what God says. Now its up to you whether you will obey God or not. From this day forward you won't be able to plead ignorance."
"What is your reason for having sent this garbage to me? Don't you realize that God made them "male and female"? (Gen1:27) If the ungodly perverts want to rebel against His design, well, the only thing to say to that is, "No, but, O man, who are you who replies against God? Shall the thing formed say to Him who formed it, Why have you made me this way?" (Rom9:20) So do you not realize that this kind of thing (and worse) was why God destroyed the earth with a flood about 4500 years ago? (Gen6) That Noah was saved because he had not corrupted himself? (Gen6:9) That God SPECIFICALLY condemns cross-dressing? (Deu22:5) While this condition will not save or damn a person, it indicates the "rebellion" which is in the "heart." The need to come to God in repentance and forsaking of sin, and receiving Jesus as Savior. (Jn1:12) Any such person, who has been thus "saved" would be welcome in "my" church...but, by the very definition, a person who is "saved" will no longer be engaging in such perversion."
"I simply don't know what to say to you---God's word is God's word.---you need to be talking to someone else"
"Cross-dressing is a cry for help...you may see nothing wrong with it, but if you are truly seeking God's will for your life you...must accept the MAN God made you to be from birth. If He had chosen to make you female he would have done so... I am not however condemning you... The bible says that when we accept Christ as our personal savior we will change it says the old will pass away and everything will become new. I am sure this is really what you want for your life to be in harmony with the word of God and to be the man God has ordained you to be. There are many people out there who will be happy to help you rationalize what you are doing but the truth is there are few who will stand up and say if you want more of God I will stand and help you become an overcomer. I am willing to be that person. I would like to know the name of this accepting church and it's location. The pastor needs to do more study of the actual word so that he can be of assistance to you."
"Do not include my address in your email file...although, I feel for your pain within the church, your deliverance can only come though a personal relationship with Christ. Believe me, He will heal and deliver you. ...now you feel that this is your destiny and cross dressing is right for you, but have you ever thought what will the kingdom of God lose by my giving in to this. What gift do you have that will not be manifested in His kingdom. The purpose for the deception is to destroy you, your family, and the kingdom of God. There are souls to be healed and saved, but it will never happen because You are the one that they need to hear from. There is no condition or state of being that God's love can not touch. You must want to be real with Him. Tell Him your desires and lay them at the altar. He will do the rest."
"1CO 6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, I believe if you will take the time to understand the word effeminate, you will change more than your church affiliation."
"I am one Minister of the Gospel who will answer your letter...by the word of the God who you say you so dearly love. Gen 2:18 Then the Lord God said, 'It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper suitable for him.' Gen 2:24 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh'....You must grow up and put away childish thoughts...1Cor 13:11 (KJS) 'When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.' Put these thoughts away from your mind before they destroy you as a man and your wife from being a woman. The words of Paul to a nation who had the same lusts. Rom 1:26 (NASV) 'For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27 and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.' Lastly if you must justify yourself before men then you must not be walking in the truth. For the truth is evident to everyone who see God's Creation as he intended it to be."
"If you have written to inform me that you exist and that you have something to say - I have read your e-mail and the job is accomplished. If you have written to let me know how you feel and that you want others to know this - then feelings received. If you have written to announce your stand and that you would like others like myself to come alongside you - I believe the scriptures to be the accurate communication of God's heart and His standards that express that cross dressing and the belief in expression of the female side of the male self - is against His creation of us as men."
"We believe God is not the author of confusion. Sexual and gender roles go to the core of the revelation about God's created order. You are clearly confused. I believe you are in danger. Your strong stand and teaching is not welcomed in the Church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and in His name I rebuke your teaching...it is not too late for you to embrace the Truth."
"We do not condemn those [like you] and grieve over the way many have been treated, in and outside the church....if someone wanted help to examine some of the underlying brokenness related to why they cross dress, we would be willing to help them. You sound like you are desiring to continue on the path of being able to cross dress whenever you wish and desire for others to learn to accept you regardless. We respect your right to do that but disagree that is the best way to deal with the issue."
"You are more than welcome in any church that I am at, and I do not hate you for what you do, or the way you feel. I believe that as a man of God, I have to look at you as one of my children, and Fathers correct their children....the Bible says...that if you are wearing woman's apparel, that you are an abomination unto the Lord. I do not quote this scripture to hurt you or to make fun of you but to help you see that this is wrong...God wants to...set you free from this abominable disease that Satan has allowed you to believe is alright....Jesus Christ is still on the throne and He is still in the saving business...The Apostle Peter was preaching to the people...in Acts 2:37, the men asked; Men and brethren, what shall we do? Acts 2:38- Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the Remission of your sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost...this is God's plan of deliverance to you....don't follow the Romans road to Salvation, follow this true Gospel ...(Galations1:8) But though we, or an angel from Heaven, preach any other Gospel than that which we have preached unto you, let (him) be accursed."
"The Bible is clear that a man should not wear that which pertains to a woman. Your sin is not an uncommon one. I will be praying for you to get true freedom from this unnatural desire.... If you are determined to disobey God's word then I see no purpose in you e-mail message other than you are seeking to gain a list of rejections.... The Bible says that a man must be born again. Until you accept the savior into your heart you can not truly be a member of his family. You may attend church ....but that is not knowing him and being filled with his Spirit.... If you're asking me to be accepting of this sin you seem to want to foster then all I can say is that I don't accept sin as a standard to live by ....only Holiness was given in the Bible as the standard of how we should live and dress."
"My heart goes out to you for more than one reason. I understand where you come from when you say that you have a fear of rejection...you are unhappy because you want to look like a woman but remain a man... If God wanted to make you any different, He would have, but while you were in your mother's womb, He formed you perfectly into the being that you are...my main concern is not how you act or dress, but rather where your heart is with Jesus Christ... Will a man dressing like a woman go to hell? In my opinion, no. The question remains: Where do you stand with Jesus Christ?...Will your pleasure hinder others from receiving the gospel?"
"The only walls that need to fall down in your life are the walls of sin that caused you the shame..when you...commit this sin. The Bible says that we are in danger of being turned over to our own selves. How would you cope with even further guilt and shame if the Lord finally turns you over to you, and all you have left are the people trapped in this sin with you? The activities you take part in are sinful behaviors...you need to give Christ your life do not delay! We are sinners in the eyes of a Holy God that is seeking out those that are going to hell without His salvation... ask a church person to lead you through getting rid of this sin!...be happy and JOYOUS about what He can do in the lives of the repentant person...rid yourself of the wrong clothes and this sin."
