1 GOD's order for Marriage, Family and Sexuality
Genesis 1,27 f.
27 So GOD created man in His own image, in the image of GOD created He him; male and female created He them. 28 And GOD blessed them, and GOD said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
GOD created humankind in His image, that is, as a reflection of His essence, which is love, and as two genders, namely male and female. GOD also created animals male and female. GOD made man and woman so that they could produce offspring with each other. The necessary biological prerequisites for this were inherent in them from the beginning.
Genesis 2,24
24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
The Bible calls the union of man and woman marriage. Marriage is a sacred covenant and a symbol of the fellowship between GOD and us humans. It is the basis for family and, at the same time, the framework for sexuality provided by GOD.
Hebrews 13,4
4 Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers GOD will judge.
The Bible calls any other form of sexual intercourse fornication or adultery. Both are sins and will bring about GOD's righteous wrath if unrepented of.
Matthew 19,6 + 9
6 What therefore GOD hath joined together, let not man put asunder. (...) 9 And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.
According to GOD's will, marriage should last a lifetime and end only with the death of one partner. Only if one partner is sexually unfaithful to the other does GOD allow the betrayed partner to remarry after a divorce. Loose relationships have no value before GOD.
Deuteronomy 22,5
5 The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the Lord thy GOD.
Men and women should be distinguishable not only by their sexual characteristics but also by their clothing. Since ancient times, it has been customary in most cultures for women to wear skirts or dresses and men to wear trousers. Men who dress as women are detested by GOD.
Proverbs 3,7
7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the Lord, and depart from evil.
Since we humans owe our lives to GOD, He has the right to determine how we should live. GOD knows us humans inside and out and knows what is best for us. He is the source of truth and all wisdom. All commandments and ordinances that GOD gives us are perfect, just, and good, and serve the well-being and peace of all people. This applies to relationships and sexuality just as much as to every other area of our lives. Therefore, GOD's will should be the standard for our actions.
But since most people don't know GOD, their thoughts and ways often don't correspond to the intentions of their Creator. That's why GOD gave us the Bible as a guide for our lives. The Bible is GOD's Word, through which God shows us who He is and what His plan for our lives is. GOD's Word helps us understand GOD's will and distinguish between good and evil, and between right and wrong.

2 The true Mastermind behind the Transgender Movement
The real mastermind behind the transgender movement is not a human being, but the one the Bible describes as the "enemy of GOD" and the "father of lies": Satan, the devil. In contrast to GOD, who loves us humans and has only good in mind for us, the devil is neither concerned with diversity nor with the well-being of us humans. Quite the opposite: He is concerned with the destruction of all orders established by GOD, including those regarding marriage and family. Likewise, the LGBTQ movement is not concerned with the supposed protection of minorities, but rather with a war against mainstream society and normality, as well as the establishment of a new, totalitarian norm.
To this end, the devil seduces people to divide them from GOD and lead them to ruin. This and nothing else is Satan's goal. It is not for nothing that the Bible calls him a "murderer." To achieve his goals, Satan uses lies to mislead people by selling them evil as good and good as evil. Anyone who falls for Satan's perfidious deceptions can be accused before GOD, so that He will find them guilty. However, anyone who opposes the devil and his lies will be mercilessly attacked by him and his henchmen. Anyone who disobeys GOD's commandments makes themselves a willing tool of Satan and automatically recognizes him as their ruler. To be under Satan's rule means to be at enmity with GOD, and vice versa. Thus, the transgender movement and everything it embodies is in direct enmity with GOD because it is directed against GOD and Bible-believing Christians. In this respect, it is absolutely incompatible with the truth taught by the Bible.
At the core of the transgender agenda is the creation of a new human being and, at the same time, the replacement of GOD's ethical and moral principles, which apply to all human beings, with one's own, new morality. Behind the colorful facade of the LGBTQ movement, therefore, lies nothing other than the striving to be like GOD—the original sin par excellence. The demand for "self-determination" is, in truth, an open rebellion against GOD. For GOD did not create us to determine our own destinies, but to serve Him and live to His glory. The key term used by the LGBTQ community, "pride," is an expression of human arrogance. Arrogance, in turn, is Satan's driving force and, at the same time, the cause of sin and all suffering on earth. Thus, the transgender movement is a reflection of the ongoing battle between GOD and Satan, between truth and lies, between light and darkness. A battle in which the sole question is whose side we are on. This question ultimately decides the eternal fate of every human being.

3 The Rainbow Flag
A well-known symbol of the transgender movement is the rainbow flag, whose colors are meant to symbolize "tolerance and diversity." Unlike the real rainbow, this flag contains only six colors instead of seven. In addition to "gender diversity," the flag also represents "racial diversity." This confuses two different things (namely, anti-racism and anti-genderism) that, in reality, have nothing to do with each other.
Genesis 9,8-17
8 And GOD spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, 9 and I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10 and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth. 11 And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12 And GOD said, This is the token of the covenant which I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations: 13 I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. 14 And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15 and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between GOD and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 17 And GOD said unto Noah, This is the token of the covenant, which I have established between me and all flesh that is upon the earth.
The rainbow is an invention of GOD and the sign of the covenant that GOD made with His servant Noah (Genesis 6-9). Shortly before, GOD sent a flood across the entire earth, in which all people of that time (except Noah and his family) perished because they had disobeyed GOD's commandments and filled the world with violence and injustice. The covenant was meant to mark a new beginning between GOD and humanity. The basis for peace with GOD is that people respect GOD's commandments and ordinances. The transgender movement, on the other hand, represents the exact opposite, distorting the meaning of the rainbow and abusing it for its ungodly agenda.

4 What the Bible teaches about Homosexuality
Romans 1,26 f.
26 For this cause GOD gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: 27 and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
The Bible explains that homosexual behavior is the direct result of mankind's turning away from GOD and His commandments. The Bible cites not love as the driving factor, but greed, which leads to sinful desires of various kinds. Because people refused to pay attention to GOD, GOD gave them over to their wrong thinking. Men abandoned natural relations with women and burned with unrestrained desires for one another; and so did women.
Same-sex intercourse is described in the Holy Scriptures as an abomination, shameful, aberration, unnatural, and degrading; in the Old Testament, it is even described as a capital offense. Furthermore, the Bible cites sexual intercourse between men, in which the gastrointestinal tract is used for sexual purposes, as the primary cause of the development and spread of various sexually transmitted diseases such as HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, and others. Multiple sexual partners increase the risk of transmission. This fact is well documented medically.
Leviticus 18,22
22 Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.
The Bible teaches that only marriage between a man and a woman is valid before GOD. Wherever marriage is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, it explicitly means the covenant between a man and a woman. Any other form of sexual relations (including those between same-sex partners) is expressly condemned in both the Old and New Testaments and must therefore be considered sinful. Although some "churches" claim otherwise, GOD's view on this has not changed to this day. The Bible cites examples of intimate friendships between men (2 Samuel 1,26) and women (Ruth 1,1-19). However, not a single positive example of homosexual relationships can be found in the entire Holy Scriptures, although they have existed for a long time. On the contrary: The ancient cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, whose inhabitants unrepentantly committed homosexual acts and were therefore razed to the ground (Genesis 19), serve as a warning of the consequences of disregarding GOD's commandments in the area of sexuality. Anyone who directly or indirectly supports the transgender agenda is opposing GOD. And any state that attempts to destroy GOD's sacred order of marriage and family is doomed.
1st John 4,9 f.
9 In this was manifested the love of GOD toward us, because that GOD sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved GOD, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
A frequently raised objection is that GOD loves all people and therefore cannot have a problem with homosexuality. However, this line of thinking contradicts the clear statements in GOD's Word, which explicitly testify to the opposite. Secondly, the fact that GOD loves all people does not mean that GOD approves of our self-determined way of life. Based on such an argument, GOD would also have to accept murderers, rapists, and other criminals, which is not the case. GOD's love is demonstrated by the fact that He does not condemn us because of our guilt, but offers us forgiveness of our sins through faith in Jesus, thus redeeming us from death.
Romans 3,23
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of GOD (...).
Another objection is that GOD made all people the way they are. Therefore, homosexuality should be considered "normal." Even with this argument, every criminal would have an excuse for their criminal actions. The Bible explains that we humans have fallen short of the glory GOD intended for us. The reason for this is sin, which has changed us and corrupted us morally, so that our way of life no longer corresponds to what GOD originally created us for. Homosexual behavior is just one of many examples. This is also why GOD sent Jesus into the world, to teach us how to live.

5 Homophobia
The accusation of being "homophobic," as often heard by critics of transgender ideology (including Bible-believing Christians), is inappropriate and misleading in this context and often only serves to stigmatize a person. A phobia describes an anxiety disorder that is usually based on psychological causes. Bible-believing Christians, on the other hand, reject transgender ideology not out of "fear of the unknown," but rather because of their conviction that it contradicts GOD's will and His creation. This in no way means that Christians hate homosexual or transsexual people; rather, it shows that they love GOD and respect His will, just as GOD expects of all people.

6 Abortion
Children are a gift from GOD. The Bible describes a fertile body as a blessing. GOD created man and woman with all the biological prerequisites necessary for procreation. This was intended to enable humans to take responsibility for a small human being, born of their own flesh and blood, and to raise it with love. The primary purpose of sexuality is the procreation of life. Today, however, sex primarily serves sensual pleasure, with little regard for the concept of creation. People want the "good feeling" but not the responsibility that comes with procreating a child. Therefore, many—especially young people—accept the risk of unwanted pregnancy without considering the consequences of their decisions.
Anyone who intentionally aborts their child or has one aborted is guilty of the death of a human being. In this respect, the term "abortion" is an extremely trivializing euphemism for murder—in this case, infanticide. For this reason, the destruction of life can and must never be justified as a "human right," as abortion advocates claim. There is no evidence to support the claim that a child before the seventh month is neither conscious nor capable of feeling pain. In fact, the opposite is true.
There are many couples who live childless. In addition to personal choice, there are often natural reasons why people remain childless. In some cases, GOD himself can prevent a woman from becoming pregnant. Intentional abortions, on the other hand, are by no means in GOD's will. Today's medical possibilities do not change this. Since GOD is our Creator, only He has the right to decide over a person's life and death. Contrary to the claims of science and medicine, life begins at conception. GOD is the one who creates an embryo and breathes life into it. Since a child growing in the womb is already a living being in GOD's eyes, neither doctors nor the mother herself have the right to end the child's life arbitrarily. How society feels about it doesn't matter in the slightest. It is equally irrelevant whether a state legally permits abortion.
One of the arguments cited as a justification for abortion is sexual abuse. While such an act is fundamentally condemnable, it does not justify the murder of an unborn child. A medical prognosis that childbirth could endanger the mother's life is also not a reason to abort the child. After all, GOD has the power to keep both the mother and her child alive and to protect them from health damage. The same applies if doctors predict an illness or disability for the child. Furthermore, statistically speaking, very few abortions are performed due to rape, incest, or health reasons. In the vast majority of cases, it is simply the fact that the parents do not want their child because, for various reasons, it does not fit into their lives. Sometimes financial factors also play a role, but these do not legitimize abortion either.
Some want to justify abortions with a supposed "parental right of self-determination." In this case, however, it is not about the body of an adult, but about an independent individual to whom GOD has given life. The fact that a child develops in its mother's body does not give her the right to determine the life and death of her child. For GOD, the protection of unborn life takes precedence over the right of self-determination of parents. Furthermore, our bodies do not belong to us, but to GOD. Therefore, no human being is fundamentally entitled to do whatever they want with their body. Rather, every human being bears responsibility for their body before GOD. In the same way, parents bear responsibility for their child from the moment of conception.

7 The meaning of Charity
Matthew 22,34-40
34 But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. 35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, 36 master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy GOD with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
Matthew 7,12
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
The most important commandment for every Christian is the commandment to love one's neighbor. It means treating others the way you would like to be treated. This includes doing good and helping those in need, not insulting anyone, harming them with malicious intent, or using violence against them. However, love of neighbor does not mean tolerating sin, as is often misunderstood. Jesus' mission was to reconcile people with GOD. Jesus loved people by calling them to repent of their sins and showing them the right path to be saved from damnation. This is how you recognize true love. Jesus cared about how people lived. Invoking love of neighbor to justify living out "woke" fantasies is a thoroughly diabolical perversion of the biblical commandment and Jesus' intention. It is not for nothing that Jesus links the commandment to love one's neighbor with the commandment to love GOD. Whoever loves GOD respects all His commandments and ordinances and does nothing that displeases Himd. Whoever, on the other hand, ignores GOD's commandments and places their own worldview above GOD's order thereby expresses their contempt for GOD.
Luke 5,32
32 I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Christians, too, are called to point others to GOD's will and call them to repentance. This expresses love for their fellow human beings. Those who remain silent in order to show tolerance not only deny GOD but also risk the ruin of others. If someone is unwilling to change their attitude, Christians should still treat them with respect and pray that they repent in time before it is too late. At the same time, Christians are called to distance themselves from such people. This also precludes any friendships between Christians and supporters of the transgender movement.

8 The role of the Churches
While most churches clearly supported biblical marriage until the 1990s, a growing number now support the state-promoted marriage for all. These include, above all, the Evangelical Lutheran and Catholic Churches, but also several free churches. The Protestant Church, in particular, supports the transgender movement like no other. Gay pastors or "queer" pastors, dressed in rainbow colors, are now not uncommon. In 2006, a Bible was even published in "gender-appropriate language." The 12 male and 40 female authors, who seem to have lost all fear of GOD, go so far as to refer to GOD as "woman" and "mother," respectively.
The height of blasphemy, however, is the proclamation that GOD, the Creator of the universe, is "queer." This not only demonstrates a profound lack of understanding of GOD, but also expresses a deep contempt for GOD. Instead of recognizing God's ordinances and submitting to His will, people attempt to adapt GOD and His Word to transgender ideology. In this way, GOD's holy name is instrumentalized for an anti-GOD movement and shamelessly desecrated. Thus, the transgender movement represents one of the greatest and most pernicious deceptions of the end times. Jesus and his apostles already warned of this great apostasy in the last days. Unfortunately, many do not heed their warnings. Likewise, the Bible warns that GOD will not leave the misuse of His name unpunished, and that anyone who intentionally distorts GOD's Word will receive His just judgment.
Matthew 7,21
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
The mission of the church is to proclaim GOD's will to people clearly and unadulterated, so that everyone has the opportunity to repent of their sins and receive forgiveness in order to be saved from GOD's judgment. Those churches that submit to the norms of the world lose their exemplary function and therefore do not deserve to be called "churches of GOD." The Bible explicitly calls Christians to distance themselves from such an institution. For anyone who supports it becomes one with it and its sins. Only those who conscientiously adhere to GOD's Word will ultimately be saved.

9 Help for Gay People and Expectant Parents
People who have problems with their sexuality should urgently consult a spiritual counselor or seek counseling from a Christian church. This also applies to homosexual tendencies and compulsive sexual behavior. An honest confession to GOD and a request for GOD's help are an important first step toward freedom. Faith in GOD and the power of His Holy Spirit enable us to control and overcome the sinful thoughts and unnatural tendencies in our hearts (even if they seem natural to us). Countless people around the world can testify to this from their own experience. You, too, can experience this.
All expectant mothers and fathers who place their trust in GOD can count on His help. With GOD on their side, a person is capable of overcoming every challenge this life presents. For whoever trusts in GOD is never alone. This also applies to raising children. Therefore, parents considering an abortion should definitely seek pastoral care in a Christian faith community. In this way, they can be helped and a solution can be found that benefits both the parents and their child. Anyone who has already had an abortion must confess their guilt to GOD. Anyone who does this with a repentant heart can know that GOD will forgive their sin and free them from their guilt.
________________________________
10 Natural Diversity
GOD is neither intolerant nor does He object to diversity, as some falsely assume. GOD is the source of all diversity. The universe and nature are irrefutable proof that GOD loves diversity. GOD created an abundance of different animal and plant species in a variety of colors and shapes. The various human races, with their individual characteristics, are also part of this natural diversity. However, natural diversity has natural limits. This includes the fact that there are only two genders. Artificially constructed genders have nothing to do with diversity or reality. Therefore, the use of the term "diversity" in this context is (deliberately) misleading. Furthermore, referring to scientifically verifiable facts such as the existence of only two genders does not constitute "discrimination." The fact that someone feels discriminated against by speaking the truth does not change the facts. Because subjective feelings can and must never be the basis for truth. Conversely, people who identify as "queer" do not have the right to present their personal desires as facts or to impose them on others. The same applies to state authorities.
While diversity is fundamentally a good thing, it is not the be-all and end-all. Likewise, diversity must not contradict GOD's commandments. We must accept that GOD, in His wisdom, sets limits for us humans that we should not exceed. If we do, it is to our own destruction. Instead of denying reality or inventing things that do not exist, we can rejoice in the natural diversity that GOD has created and praise and glorify our Creator for it.
