Lost And Found, Not Finders Keepers
• NAU Deuteronomy 22:1 "You shall not see
your countryman's ox or his sheep straying
away, and pay no attention to them; you shall
certainly bring them back to your countryman.

5. Deuteronomy 22:5, Transgender
• NKJ Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman shall not wear
anything that pertains to a man, nor shall a man put
on a woman's garment, for all who do so are an
abomination to the LORD your God.
• The principle here needs to be practiced in every
culture at every time (abomination). The distinct
clothing kinds that distinguish masculine or feminine
attire in each culture are for that gender only.
• NAU Mark 10:6 "But from the beginning of creation,
God MADE THEM MALE AND FEMALE.
• Confusing this distinction is an abomination. 5
7. How many genders are there in
today's society?
• “…A number of scholars point to a proliferation of genders. A non-exhaustive summary
list might be:
• 1. Male heterosexual,
• 2. Female heterosexual,
• 3. Male homosexual,
• 4. Female homosexual,
• 5. Male bi-sexual,
• 6. Female bi-sexual,
• 7. Hermaphrodite,
• 8. Male pseudo-hermaphrodite,
• 9. Female pseudo-hermaphrodite,
• 10. Male transgender,
• 11. Female transgender,
• 12. Male transsexual,
• 13. Female transsexual (it could be argued that the final two categories could be
subsumed into #s 10 and 11)….”

• right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves
understanding, treatment and prevention.” …it does not correspond with
physical reality. The second is that it can lead to grim psychological
outcomes.” The transgendered person’s disorder, said Dr. McHugh, is in the
person’s “assumption” that they are different than the physical reality of their
body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature. It is a disorder
similar to a “dangerously thin” person suffering anorexia who looks in the
mirror and thinks they are “overweight,” said McHugh…. “And so at Hopkins
we stopped doing sex-reassignment surgery, since producing a ‘satisfied’ but
still troubled patient seemed an inadequate reason for surgically amputating
normal organs,” said Dr. McHugh…. “’Sex change’ is biologically impossible,”
said McHugh. “People who undergo sex-reassignment surgery do not change
from men to women or vice versa. Rather, they become feminized men or
masculinized women. Claiming that this is civil-rights matter and encouraging
surgical intervention is in reality to collaborate with and promote a mental
disorder.”

But Mutilation Is Possible
• I posted this article on my Facebook page and I
received a reply from a distant, non-blood relative;
• It read, “I'm so happy that these options were not
available when I was young and confused.”
• I'm sure there are very many people who are glad
that they did not mutilate their organs while still
confused about their sexual identity.

their bodies.

Authority said Tuesday that recent examination of a small
woolen textile discovered in the 1950s found that the textile
was colored with a dye from the Murex trunculus, a snail
researchers believe was the source of the Biblical blue.
Researchers and rabbis have long searched for the enigmatic
color, called tekhelet in Hebrew. The Bible commands Jews to
wear a blue fringe on their garments, but the dye was lost in
antiquity. Sukenik examined the textile for a doctorate at Bar-
Ilan University and published the finding at a Jerusalem

51. Johns Hopkins Psychiatrist: Transgender is ‘Mental
Disorder;' Sex Change ‘Biologically Impossible’, By
Michael W. Chapman, (CNSNews.com)
• (CNSNews.com) -- Dr. Paul R. McHugh, the former psychiatrist-in-chief for Johns Hopkins Hospital and its current
Distinguished Service Professor of Psychiatry, said that transgenderism is a “mental disorder” that merits treatment, that
sex change is “biologically impossible,” and that people who promote sexual reassignment surgery are collaborating with
and promoting a mental disorder.
• Dr. McHugh, the author of six books and at least 125 peer-reviewed medical articles, made his remarks in a recent
commentary in the Wall Street Journal, where he explained that transgender surgery is not the solution for people who
suffer a “disorder of ‘assumption’” – the notion that their maleness or femaleness is different than what nature assigned
to them biologically.
• He also reported on a new study showing that the suicide rate among transgendered people who had reassignment
surgery is 20 times higher than the suicide rate among non-transgender people. Dr. McHugh further noted studies from
Vanderbilt University and London’s Portman Clinic of children who had expressed transgender feelings but for whom,
over time, 70%-80% “spontaneously lost those feelings.”
• While the Obama administration, Hollywood, and major media such as Time magazine promote transgenderism as
normal, said Dr. McHugh, these “policy makers and the media are doing no favors either to the public or the
transgendered by treating their confusions as a right in need of defending rather than as a mental disorder that deserves
understanding, treatment and prevention.”
• Time magazine, June 9, 2014,
• cover story, The Transgender Tipping Point:
• America's Next Civil Rights Frontier. (Photo: AP)
• “This intensely felt sense of being transgendered constitutes a mental disorder in two respects. The first is that the idea
of sex misalignment is simply mistaken – it does not correspond with physical reality. The second is that it can lead to
grim psychological outcomes.”
• The transgendered person’s disorder, said Dr. McHugh, is in the person’s “assumption” that they are different than the
physical reality of their body, their maleness or femaleness, as assigned by nature. It is a disorder similar to a
51
52. 1 Corinthians 6:11, Deuteronomy 22:5, What does the Bible say
about transsexualism / transgenderism? Is gender identity
disorder / gender dysphoria the result of sin?” transvestites
• Question: "What does the Bible say about transsexualism / transgenderism? Is gender identity disorder / gender
dysphoria the result of sin?"
• Answer: Transsexualism, also known as transgenderism, Gender Identity Disorder (GID), or gender dysphoria, is a desire
to change one’s sex or to fulfill the role of the opposite gender. Transsexuals / transgenders usually describe themselves
as “trapped” in a body that does not match their gender. They will probably practice transvestism / transvestitism and
may also seek hormone therapy and/or surgery to bring their bodies into conformity with their perceived gender.
• The Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of sex is that God created two (and
only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous
genders—or even a gender “continuum” with unlimited genders—is unbiblical.
• In Psalm 139, we learn that God fashions each one of us. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. . . . My frame was not hidden from you when
I was made in the secret place. . . . your eyes saw my unformed body” (verses 13-16). God’s creation of each individual
must surely include His designation of gender/sex. His wonderful work leaves no room for mistakes; no one is born with
the “wrong body.”
• After the fall of man, it did not take long for gender issues to become confused. In Abraham’s day, homosexuality was
widespread in some cities (Genesis 19:1-7; Jude 7). The Bible is unmistakably clear that homosexuality is a sinful
perversion of God’s gift of sexuality (Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
• In the Law, transvestism / transvestitism was specifically forbidden: “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man
wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this” (Deuteronomy 22:5).
• Another possible reference to transsexualism is 1 Corinthians 6:9, where “male prostitutes” is listed as a separate
category from “homosexual offenders.” The King James Version uses the word “effeminate” here; that is to say, the
“male prostitutes” might be transsexual men who act as women.
• No matter if the gender distortion has a genetic, hormonal, physiological, or psychological cause, the Bible clearly and
consistently labels any sexual activity outside of marriage or not between a man and a woman as sin, rebellion against
God’s plan. But following this realization is good news: sin can be forgiven and lives can be changed through faith in

53. Deuteronomy 22:5, Transvestite
Transvestism, Cross Dressing
• QUESTION FOR THE DAY
• Dear Compass,
• Some of my friends belong to a group that does not believe women should cut their hair, wear jewelry, or wear slacks. They, of course, are quoting the
writings of Paul to prove their point: 1 Timothy 2:9, "women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and
gold or pearls or costly garments." Is this infallible scripture or merely customs of the day?
•
ANSWER:
• The scripture is indeed infallible, but the context of that verse is being distorted. It simply means that a woman's adornment emphasis should not be on
the external, but the internal. The following verse shows that intended emphasis by continuing the thought, "but rather by means of good works, as
befits women making a claim to godliness." Braided hair, gold, pearls, or expensive clothes are not in themselves wrong. But overemphasis on them may
represent misplaced values.
• Women should not dress in such a way as to draw attention to themselves through immodest dress, showy clothing, or extremely wild hair. 1 Peter 3:3
uses some of the same words: "braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry," but then continues to say that your dress should, in effect, NOT stop at just
that, but also, "let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God."
• There is nothing wrong with trying to look your best or wearing nice clothes at appropriate times. Remember, Jesus had a verynice coat made without a
seam. Nice enough that the soldiers cast lots to see who would get it!
• Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic
was seamless, woven in one piece. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the
Scripture: "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."—John 19:23-24Wearing pants by women is
not prohibited in scripture. Deuteronomy 22:5 says a "woman shall not wear a man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing." The Hebrew
word used there is the same Hebrew word used in Leviticus 18:22 where it states God detests homosexuality. Therefore, in proper context, a man is not
to try to look like a woman, and a woman is not to try to look like a man (transvestism).
54. Deuteronomy 22:6, The Eggs Are Done
• Martha Major tells that, “As the four of us were leisurely enjoying
our meal in a restaurant, my mother's face suddenly registered
shock. "Oh, no! I left the eggs on the stove and the burner's still on!"
• We calculated the eggs had been cooking for two hours by this time.
Our only hope was that my older brother, Jake, might happen to
stop by. When we arrived home we found the burner was turned off
but the pan on the stove was empty. The eggs had exploded and
were plastered all over the ceiling and walls! A note on the counter
from Jake explained: "Mom, your eggs looked done, so I turned the
burner off!"
55. Mark 6:9 Deuteronomy 22:5, Wearing
Woman's Clothing
• Mark 6:9 but to wear sandals; and He added,
"Do not put on two tunics.“
• Acts 12:8 And the angel said…"Wrap your cloak
around you and follow me.“
• Deuteronomy 22:5 "A woman shall not wear
man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a
woman's clothing; for whoever does these
things is an abomination to the LORD your God.
56. Long Hair On Men
• Long Hair On Men
• Monday, April 21st, 2014Interpreting Verses
• Q. Re: What Did Jesus Look Like? I was reading your response about what Jesus looked like, and it
reminded me of something I’d read elsewhere about Jesus and long hair. The person cited 1 Cor.
11:14-15. “Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to
him, but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.”
• If men wore their hair long in the 1st century (as I’ve always believed), then why would Paul say that
long hair is dishonorable to a man?
• A. 1 Cor. 11:14-15 is a relative statement. In Paul’s time women let their hair grow long enough to
come down almost to their waist. But men didn’t let their hair grow below their shoulders. Today we
think a man with shoulder length hair has very long hair, but in Paul’s day it was the norm. What was
dishonoring was for a man to let his hair grow so long it resembled a woman’s hair.
• This is similar to the prohibition against women dressing like men and men dressing like women
(Deut. 22:5). It was not meant to prevent women from wearing pants to church. Neither sex wore
pants in Biblical times. It was a prohibition against “cross dressing”, where women dress to present
themselves as men and men dress to present themselves as women.

57. • You shall make for yourselves twisted threads on thefour corners of your
garment with which you cover yourself.
• DEUTERONOMY (22:12)
• Jerusalem Inspiration
• To this day, Jewish men wear a prayer shawl known as a "tallit." In Hebrew,
the word "tal" can mean a "covering", and the suffix "it" implies smallness,
thus meaning a "small covering." Let's delve deeper to discover the root of
this idea. In Exodus 33, Moses sets up a tent outside the camp where he
convenes with God. Later, that "tent of meeting" became the Tabernacle.
For individuals, the prayer shawl, which can be drawn up over the body,
serves as a private tent, showing the value of a close, personal connection
with God free of distractions.

• Yehoshua Halevi captured this inspiring scene at the Western Wall: a Jewish
man bestowing blessings upon a soldier.
58. 1 Corinthians 6:11, Deuteronomy 22:5, What does the Bible say
about transsexualism / transgenderism? Is gender identity
disorder / gender dysphoria the result of sin?” transvestites
• Question: "What does the Bible say about transsexualism / transgenderism? Is gender identity disorder / gender
dysphoria the result of sin?"
• Answer: Transsexualism, also known as transgenderism, Gender Identity Disorder (GID), or gender dysphoria, is a desire
to change one’s sex or to fulfill the role of the opposite gender. Transsexuals / transgenders usually describe themselves
as “trapped” in a body that does not match their gender. They will probably practice transvestism / transvestitism and
may also seek hormone therapy and/or surgery to bring their bodies into conformity with their perceived gender.
• The Bible has plenty to say about human sexuality. Most basic to our understanding of sex is that God created two (and
only two) genders: “male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27). All the modern-day speculation about numerous
genders—or even a gender “continuum” with unlimited genders—is unbiblical.
• In Psalm 139, we learn that God fashions each one of us. “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my
mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. . . . My frame was not hidden from you when I
was made in the secret place. . . . your eyes saw my unformed body” (verses 13-16). God’s creation of each individual
must surely include His designation of gender/sex. His wonderful work leaves no room for mistakes; no one is born with
the “wrong body.”
• After the fall of man, it did not take long for gender issues to become confused. In Abraham’s day, homosexuality was
widespread in some cities (Genesis 19:1-7; Jude 7). The Bible is unmistakably clear that homosexuality is a sinful
perversion of God’s gift of sexuality (Romans 1:18-32; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
• In the Law, transvestism / transvestitism was specifically forbidden: “A woman must not wear men’s clothing, nor a man
wear women’s clothing, for the Lord your God detests anyone who does this” (Deuteronomy 22:5).
• Another possible reference to transsexualism is 1 Corinthians 6:9, where “male prostitutes” is listed as a separate
category from “homosexual offenders.” The King James Version uses the word “effeminate” here; that is to say, the “male
prostitutes” might be transsexual men who act as women.
• No matter if the gender distortion has a genetic, hormonal, physiological, or psychological cause, the Bible clearly and
consistently labels any sexual activity outside of marriage or not between a man and a woman as sin, rebellion against
God’s plan. But following this realization is good news: sin can be forgiven and lives can be changed through faith in

59. Matthew 12:4, The Consecrated Bread
• Matthew 12:4 how he entered the house of God, and
they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful
for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests
alone?
• Leviticus 24:9 "It shall be for Aaron and his sons, and
they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy to him
from the LORD'S offerings by fire, his portion forever.“
• David is fleeing from Saul in, 1 Samuel 21:6 So the priest
gave him consecrated bread; for there was no bread
there but the bread of the Presence which was removed
from before the LORD, in order to put hot bread in its
place when it was taken away.

62. Impatient for Investment Returns
• Don Young tells, “When our eldest daughter was old enough to
understand what saving money was all about, my wife and I sat down
with her and explained the value of money. We explained how you
save, and when the piggybank was full, you take the money out and
deposit it in a commercial bank so that it might draw interest. We
thought we had done a thorough job. She seemed to understand and
couldn't wait to open a savings account in our local bank by herself. I
called the banker in our little town and told him our daughter was on
the way to open her savings account. We would stop in later and sign
the necessary papers.
What a thrill! She got the president of the bank himself to wait on her.
She handed over her savings, and he gave her a receipt and thanked
her for her business. But she wouldn't leave. She just stood there like
she was waiting on something else. "Is there anything else that I can
help you with?" he asked.
• "Yes," she said, "I want my interest.”
