answer<\/a> is very condescending and full of your own opinions. God will undoubtedly judge you for this, also.<\/p>\nDo you know the depths of despair that this person may have gone through just to get to the point where they are willing to ask someone a question like this and you offer no help because you do not understand and do not want to even imagine what it may be like for someone else who does not have the same experience of life as you do? Perhaps you should read Ecclesiastes 11 for yourself.<\/p>\n\t
Answer:<\/h2>\n
All I see is a condescending rebuke based on personal opinion since no Scripture or even worldly evidence is offered. Obviously, you understand that agreeing with everyone is not in each person’s best interest since you have no problems telling me that I’m wrong. Therefore, the fact that I told a young woman that her desire to disguise herself as a man was not reasonable and explained why it wasn’t reasonable is not wrong. That you disagree with the answer is something you’ll have to consider as to why. But to claim that everyone has to accept a person’s imaginary view of themselves, even if they get themselves worked up over their false view of themselves, is not required of people. God is the God of Truth. “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; For all His ways are justice, A God of truth and without injustice; Righteous and upright is He<\/em>” (Deuteronomy 32:4). God doesn’t ask people to encourage others in their self-deceptions; rather, God makes it clear that He hates all forms of lying. “These six things the LORD hates, yes, seven are an abomination to Him: a proud look, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, …<\/em>” (Proverbs 6:16-17).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Question: Dear Sir (must be), Your answer is very condescending and full of your own opinions.
