I identify as an adopted son of God, who sins at times but hopes to become more like the Lord over time as I feed on His word.<br />I do NOT believe one can identify as being anything one wishes to be. That means one CANNOT violate biological FACT and be a woman when one is a man nor can one be a man when one is a woman. Transgender ism is a SIN although secularists believe it is a dysphoria. <br />To identify as an adopted Son of God one MUST believe, adhere to and act on John 3:16-20 and one MUST be Born Again (spiritually resurrected) . When the Lord saved me EVERYTHING changed including my World View and I was now enabled via God the Holy Spirit to resist sin. One is NOT born again unless there has been an acceptance of ones total depravity and is remorseful for sinning against God and then repenting as God's Spirit enables us. God enables us to no longer live in sin. One can be very religious, as I was for many years without actually knowing the Lord Jesus Christ (our Creator).
