Transsexuality, abortion, women’s liberation
by Bro. Richard Williams
Then Adam had inter
course with his wife, and
she became pregnant.
She bore a son and
said, By the Lord’s help I
have gotten a son
(Genesis 4:1).
From the beginning
God Almighty chose to
make the human race in
the form of individuals of
two different kin
ds —male and female—
ds —male and female—in
order that they might
meet, love, marry, and
complete each other.
When God viewed the
creation of his hands, he
said that it was good
(Genesis 1:31).
God has given
regulations concerning
sex gender: distinctive
clothing for men and
women (Deuteronomy
22:5);the subordination
of the woman (I Corin
thians 11:3-16); different
functions of sexes (I
Timothy 2:8-15); and
love between male and
female (Ephisians 5:22,
23). God talks about
sexual perversion in the
Biblw: adultery
(Deuteronomy 22:22-29)
and Matthew 19:9);
prostitution (Deuteron
omy 23:17); incest
(Leviticus 18:6-18);
homosexuality (Romans
1:26-27); and mankind
with beasts

Why is transsexualism
wrong? It involves
despising the way that
God made you. Some say
that a woman is trapped
in a man’s body. This is
not a biological problem
but it is a psychological
problem. Dr. James H.
Filfoil, a psychiatrist at a
Pennsylvania hospital in
Philadelphia which has
performed twenty-seven
sex-change operations,
was asked the question,
“Does the transsexual,
while a man, engage in
homosexual relationships
with other men?” His an
swer was, “These tran
ssexuals are homosexual
as we would define it
legally, but they don’t
think so. To them their
interest in a man is
heterosexual because they
consider themselves
women.” Homosexuality
is condemned again and
again in the Bible.
Thou shalt not lie with
mankind, as with woman
kind, it is abomination
(Leviticus 18:22).
For this cause God
gave them up to vile af
fections; for even their
women did change the
natural use into that
which is against nature:
And like also the men,
leaving the natural use of
the woman, burned in
their lust one toward
another, men with men
working that which is un-

seemly, and receiving in
themselves that recom
pense of their error which
was meet (Romans 1:26-
27).
A homosexual psychic
is necessary in order to
become a transsexual. It i
is wrong because of cross
dressing. The transsexual
will be advised before
surgery for at least six
months to two years, to
dress like the opposite sex
and act like the opposite
sex. Effeminate persons
are condemned in I
Corinthians 6:9. If a per
son is married, he has to
divorce for an unscrip
tural reason (Matthew
19:9).
If a transsexual enters
into a marriage, children
cannot be born, thus
destroying God’s concept
of joining male and
female together in
marriage. There are
various practical
problems related to the
subject under scrutiny
that time will not allow
me to explore, but the
thrust of this message is
the Biblical thrust.
Abortion, Right or Wrong
Abortion is a nasty
problem, a source of
social discord, moral un
certainty, medical and
psychiatric confusion,
and personal anguish.
About 10,000 therapeutic
abortions are performed
every year in the United
States. It is estimated on
top of that, about
200,000 to 1.2-million
illegal abortions are per
formed.
Some have reduced the
whole problem to the
philosophical and
theological question,
“When does life begin?,”
while many proponents
of abortion demand to
see the question only in
terms of feminine and
civil rights, giving women
the full right to decide for
themselves whether to
terminate or complete a
pregnancy. On January
22, 1973, the Supreme
Vourt of the Uniyrf
States ruled that the
states could not forbid a
woman to have an abor
tion durng the first three
months of pregnancy if
her doctor approves the
operation.
What is abortion? It is
the ending of a pregnancy
