My husband is a cross dresser. It has and still is very difficult to live with. I did not handle the discovery of this very well and made some foolish decisions not realising that it was the devils work and not my husbands. God brought me through the "wrong decision" and I am so grateful. It helps to pray in the spirit binding the evil spirits and loosing the spirits which will help him overcome these urges. I will not accept what he does nor support him in cross dressing although I have said I WILL support him to come out of it. I fear for his salvation and that is what keeps me going. |

I would pray that God will show him the truth and the light of what he is doing. It is good that he goes to church, maybe there he will be convicted of this sin and be converted over unto God. By no means shune him away, people (including you) need to love him in. But if your brother shouts, praises God and claims to be a christian, keep in mind that he isn't a christian, because of his lifesyle. But God still loves him, no matter what he does. |

I would ask him why. |

Why do you ahve to say anything, Dawn?
There are many reasons for, and degrees of, cross-dressing--a subject too deep for an 85-word blog posting.
Most cross-dressers, however, are NOT homosexual. They simply get a charge out of it, that's all. |

For those of you who don't understand what I said, I will say it in a way that you can. I don't always do the things I know I should do. For example instead of watching t.v. I should be reading my bible, for I am putting the t.v before God. And I know better. But a person can't eat at the Lords table and at Satan's table as well. Meaning a person can't lie all day long and in the next breath start praising God. It don't work that way. |

Shari ... your comment needs further explanation. Maybe you would like to send it to me? |

I would speak to him priviatly about this matter showing scripture about how man shouldn't dress like a woman, if he still claims to be Christian & not do anything, that is between him & God, but next I'd take a witness or address the Pastor because the flock does not need to be strayed away or have people in there to be strayed, but I'd pray & take it to the Lord. |

I am still waiting for my clean, scripturally sound answers to be posted. You say this site is for important education and stop people from searching further or meditating on the word of God by posting only views in agreement with the mainstream. Even that act is warned against in the word of God. Now I see who is swaying opinions. |

In addition, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love Him. Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth He any man. But every man is tempted when he is draw away of his own lusts and enticed. When lust is conceived, it brings forth sin and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death. Do not err my beloved brethren." |

Rebecca,
You do not sin willingly?
Sin is voluntary.
Your statement stands directly opposed to I Cor 13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but GOD IS FAITHFUL, who will NOT suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; BUT WILL with the temptation also MAKE A WAY TO ESCAPE, that ye may be able to bear it.
That was Jimmy Swaggart's excuse. He said I prayed but God would not help me. |

m.p. and madison, Everyone who is a real born-again Christian, and does the will of my Papa, is my mother and my brother and my sister. |

Rebecca, if in doubt of what I was saying please re-read my words. I have not said that this man IS a Christian, I simply say we must not use one individual sin as a basis to judge whether he is or not. Regarding Christians and sin - wasn't it Paul who said "I am the chiefest of sinners"? When did he say this - before or after he was saved? B.T.W. did Jesus sin UNwillingly as you say you do? |

There is a lot more that goes on besides the wearing of the womens clothing. The whole thing culminates in self gratification. This is a lifesyle, not just a once in a while happening. There can be freedom from this by repentance. |

M.P. I am Eloy's sister. A sister in Christ. I didn't write the bible, nor can I change what it says. Bruce; yes I do sin not willingly but yes I do, and yes I am a Christian. But if a person who lies, steals, cheats, isn't being Christ-like. A christian is a follower of Jesus, being faithfull, a believer. and you say that a person whom lies, is following in Christ's footsteps. |
|
---Rebecca_D on 3/21/06 |
Fred S. is right in quoting scriptures concerning the blog question. Has your brother been witnessed to? Does he know we all have sinned, we must repent and believe in Jesus as his saviour in order to be saved. Going to church is good, but it doesn't save us. |

Rebecca,
You have said in the past that you do sin. Does that mean that YOU are not a Christian?
On what basis do you count one sin to be more significant than another? |

Deuteronomy 22:5
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. Hmmm....?????? You decide. |
|
---Fred_S. on 3/21/06 |
A person can be a Christian and still sin in this way, as in any other way. Rebecca sounds an awful lot like Eloy in this matter. |
|
---Madison on 3/21/06 |
1John 1:10 says If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. Also Jesus said that he who was without sin should cast the first stone. Also, all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. 1Jo 2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And IF any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: Christians DO sin but we can repent and ask for forgiveness, |

Rebecca D, you are obviously Eloy's sister !! |

---M.P. on 3/21/06 |
i agree with MP. Your sin (judgement, lying, gossiping) is no less in Gods eyes as is this man who is cross dressing. |
|
---natasha on 3/21/06 |
M.P. a person who lies, swear, etc can't be a christian. A Christian means to be Christ-like. How can a person swear, lie among other things be Christ-like? This man isn't a christian in God's eyes, because it is wrong for this man to dress this way. Where do you get your information from? |
|
---Rebecca_D on 3/20/06 |
I think he needs to be shown that scripture states that he should not dress in this way but the fact that he does so does not prove that he is not a Christian, maybe he isn't but don't use this as the proof of that. I know Christians who lie, swear, gossip etc. This makes them no less Christians but they are sinning, as is this young man. Perhaps he doesn't realise that this is wrong so lovingly tell him and take it from there. |
