Many cross-dressers, transvestite or transgendered
(CD/TV/TG) might have said these words.
I am sure if a (CD/TV/TG) have gone to your church and
discussed the topic with your priest, pastor, minister, or layperson, you will
have received the same answer, Deuteronomy 22:5. The universal response of
bigoted, narrowminded, bible thumping, born again, self-rightist, a homophobic
man of God, is that dressing as a woman, for any reason is an abomination. Such
unforgiving words from men who are said to speak for our loving God. Many
(CD/TV/TG) have left the church with no hope of redeeming their soul from
hell. Is it true, can our loving God
sentence men to hell for any act of cross-dressing? Please do not give up hope;
this article may change your life and put you in the grace of God.

If you search the web, you will find the first 25 to 30 hits
to be from religious websites or religious blogs from people whose views on the
subject are narrowminded, bigoted, improper, misguided, mean-spirited, without
grace, and not in keeping with the teaching of Jesus. I am the last person to lecture the bible
thumper conservative right and the born-again Christians what is the correct
interpretation of the bible. I am sure I
will be villainized, berated, condemned as a heathen, for what I am about to
say. I am a cross-dresser, and it is
hard to surf the net on the subject and not read what the religious right has
posted about cross-dressing. Finally, I found some sanity in the insane world
of those that think they speak the word of God.

The above website makes more sense in ten pages than a
hundred pages provided by those who are said to speak for out God. These ten
pages can restore your faith.
When reading the scriptures to derive at an understanding as
to the meaning, one needs to follow these two axioms, "Scripture only settles matters about
which it speaks plainly." - Richard Hooker, 1554-1600, Anglican
theologian and "Scripture cannot mean NOW What it did
not mean THEN." - Rick Brentlinger, 1950- Independent Baptist preacher
The website very clearly spells out the issue of what is
written in the bible and its interpretation and meaning. The logic of the article is like plane
geometry which teaches one to use a set of definitions, postulates, and axioms
to solve mathematical problems. Plane geometry, math at the purest form using
man’s mind to reason, with this article providing the same clarity of logic in
its conclusion.
The article states that Christians do not have to follow the
Law of Moses since the resurrection of Christ. The article also explains
Deuteronomy 22.5 is not about transvestites or transgender but having to do
with the worship of false Gods. The article concludes that differences of
opinion on non- essentials like clothing are not good reasons to break
fellowship with our brothers and sisters in Christ.
As Christians, we can analyze the Laws of Moses as it
pertains to our lives in our current time and place. There are six-hundred
thirteen Law of Moses that Jesus has summed up to mean love thy neighbor. If the choice is between taking Deuteronomy
22:5 literally and harming transgender people, or allowing grace and compassion
to take over, which option leads to life and health for our neighbors?
As Christians, we are not required to follow to the Laws of
Moses
Another good article about a woman dressing as men and men
dressing as a woman, is it sinful can be found here:

This article provides a clear review of the subject, and
clear conclusion based on historical context, based on "Scripture only
settles matters about which it speaks plainly." - Richard Hooker,
1554-1600, Anglican theologian and "Scripture cannot mean NOW What it did
not mean THEN." - Rick Brentlinger, 1950- Independent Baptist preacher
This article will provide enlightenment on the following
questions, please go to the website and read.
What does Deuteronomy 22:5 say?
Why do some Christians use Deuteronomy 22:5 against
transgender people?
Are there characters in the Bible who don’t follow the Deuteronomy
22:5 rule?
How can we understand Deuteronomy 22:5 in the context of the
rest of scripture?
These two websites provide hope for the CD/TV/TG who happens
to put on a dress for whatever reason is not sinning on the eyes of the Lord,
that dressing is not an abomination, and that Christ died and had come again
updating the Law of Moses to
With the coming of Christ, God has established a new
covenant with mankind. Jesus and His apostles gave us a radically new
understanding of the real intent of the Old Testament Law; they brought a new
era of the rule of love for all people and spiritual truth instead of rule by
law.
