    You can cherry pick anything out of the old testament. Do you promise to treat your slaves well? But Psalm 139 is quite a reach to justify your being anti-trans is a Christian teaching. Compassion is more Christ-like and your opinion isn't.

    Not to mention Christians have no business interpreting anything out of the old testament.

    We have certainly seen a lot of anti religion bigotry from the secular progressive left

    Yes, really. Never ending and non stop. It is what they do and who they are as human debris.

    Doesn't matter, the torah is the book of THE JEWISH PEOPLE, and christians have no right to interpret it.

    Sorry but not tolerating your bigotry is not bigotry.

    Oh, you're wrong about that. Jesus was a Jew who came 'not to abolish the Law or prophets, but to fulfill them.'

    MODERN MESSIANIC JUDAISM

    Though Messianic Judaism itself dates back to Yeshua’s twelve apostles, its “resurrection” is a relatively new phenomenon.

    In the late 1800s, after several large-scale “revivals” among protestant believers in the United States and Europe, many Christians sought to tell Jewish people about Yeshua, or Jesus. Even as some Jewish people in Europe began to desire to return to the land of Israel and establish a permanent Jewish homeland there, the Lord stirred many Jews to look at the so-called “Christian Bible,” or New Testament Scriptures, for themselves.

    Centuries of continuing anti-Semitism in the name of Jesus had left the Jewish community skeptical. But some Jewish men and women did become followers of Yeshua during this time. In the following decades whole congregations of Jewish believers in Jesus were born. This movement was dubbed “Hebrew Christianity.”


    “They are the Israelites, and to them belong the Son-ship, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Messiah!” - Romans 9:4-5

    “Hebrew Christianity” has since become known as “Messianic Judaism.” There are now tens of thousands of Messianic Jews in the United States alone; some estimate as many as 1.2 million. Messianic synagogues are springing up in almost every major city across the U.S., and Messianic Judaism is quickly growing in other nations throughout North and South America, Europe, Oceania, and the former Soviet republics.

    Christianity later became the state religion of the Roman Empire. Eventually an anti-Semitic view of the Messiah’s life and death became accepted theology in Christian Europe for hundreds of years. Messianic Jews recognize that their existence is entirely due to God’s intervention on behalf of His Jewish people. Messianic Judaism is part of the fulfillment of God’s many Scriptural promises of eternal love and faithfulness to Israel.

    So you are unable to justify being anti-trans as Christian teaching, but it can be classified as a mean spirited opinion. Take off the "Christian cloak" that justifies you view point. .

    Yes, and it is a very unique church. It is a little bit of OT Jewish Tradition meets NT early days Christianity. It is considered a conservative Church and some of its traditions are similar to Hasidic Judaism.

    There is one church here in the DFW area that I attended some 25 years ago with some college friends. We also attended Potterhouse, Oak Cliff bible, Japanese Baptist, Chinese Baptist, and a few others. We did this one Sunday a month to try to break up the Saturday/Sunday most divided day in America campaign.

    It's not religious liberty since it is not a practiced belief within the Bible or what Jesus Christ when he was alive.

    There is a Messianic Jewish group near Hartford CT where I used to live. I've also met some Messianic Jews in Israel where the wife and I have visited several times.

    Actually it’s the book of Gods people and Christians qualify as that.
