PAT ROBERTSON CLAIMS TRANSGENDERS ARE NOT SINNING


Christian News Network reports that Pat Robertson doesn't think transgenders are sinning. However, one pastor refutes that claim very well. 
See: http://christiannews.net/2013/07/31/pat-robertson-on-sex-change-operations-i-dont-think-theres-any-sin-associated-with-that/.
Excerpt from above article; quotes from Dr. Paul Michael Raymond of New Geneva Christian Leadership Academy and Reformed Bible Church in Appomatox, Virginia:

“If he believes that there are some men who are physiologically, hormonally men … with all the of the proper physiological and hormonal structures of a man–if he believes that they are trapped in women’s bodies, then he is denying the sovereign God’s ability to create a man [as] a man and a woman a woman,” Raymond explained. “[W]hen a man says that he is trapped in a woman’s body, and he wants to be a woman, he’s really flying in the face of providence and how God made him.”


“And I do believe it is a sin,” he continued. “I believe the sin is fundamentally more than just wanting to be a woman, but I think [the issue] fundamentally is that these individuals just want to be God. They want to recreate themselves in their own idea and in their own image.”
“We are called to judge righteous judgment,” he stated, referring to the words of Jesus in John 7:24. “If you don’t judge, then you can’t judge anything.”
