Can Christians Crossdress?
Rev. Turner:As we are gay 'GLBT' Christians & as the Lord's word touches on "....that you live in modesty & purity" How can a GLBT' Christian match that goal I just mentioned? I wear femme clothes 24-7 7 I still want to love the Lord!--of course. Can you help me?
In Jesus,
Richard
Dear Richard,
The kind of clothes that you wear have nothing to do with your faith in Jesus the Christ. Living in modesty and purity are not determined by the clothes you wear.
The important thing to remember from scripture is that Jesus always taught
it was a matter of faith, it is what you believe about God that matters not
what you are wearing. If your mode of dress helps you be comfortable and
allows you to live out your life as you need to be, then praise God!
I suppose the style of dress can affect your attitude and how you present
yourself to the world around you. If dressing in women's clothes brings you
comfort and presents to the world who you are and you dress in a way that is
not demeaning to you then you have found a way to be modest and pure.
For me clothes can be a statement of how I feel, a statement about me and
who I am. When I put on a sharp outfit I feel like I look good and feel
good about myself. So, again, if you dress sharp it matters not if it is
women's or men's attire. Dress to make a statement about yourself and don't
worry what others might think or say. God is concerned about your heart,
mind, and soul not what covers the physical body.
God Bless,
