can you be orthodox and trans?

[Nihilma]

seriously though, does sinning invalidate your faith in orthodox Christianity?

Why you tryna bring seriousness in this obvious unserious thread ?
We don't play like that

how do you define "sinning" cuz committing a sin no matter what shouldn't separate you from your faith completely

being a caca, real woman etc. I think your gender identity or if you like dick or not shouldn't invalidate your faith

you know, those are really complicated questions because having homosexual tendencies is not the same as being a homosexual (same thing applies to transgenders)
it's not a sin to be tempted, it's a sin to act upon the temptation
if you have homosexual tendencies and you're not attracted to women, you should stay celibate
if you are transgender and think you're in the "wrong body", you shouldn't under any circumstances mutilate yourself, but seek help from a spiritual father

i havent been spiritual for years, but my non-practicing liberalish muslim family do think like this too, except for the trans part. They do think they should get spiritual help but if that fails they should have the right to transition since that can lead to suicide and they consider suicide shirk

Alr vro, serious answer :
"sinning" means "missing the target", and it always has to do with what comes out of the heart.
Since "A man is not defiled by what enters his mouth, but by what comes out of it.", and "but the things that come out of the mouth come from the heart, and these things defile a man."

Therefore, an action in and of itself, especially physical, cannot be in and of itself a sin, it is the action of a man as a consequence of his choice that define if it is or not a sin.
What decides what is or is not a sin by it's source in the heart ?
A movement, either towards or away from God. The human is supposed to move towards God, but selfishness, affirmation of the self, rejection of God are movements away from God. That is a sin.

Sinning in and of itself is something most of us do naturally, as we are all corrupt, Christian or not. The important thing is repentence, meaning working on your heart to make it move towards God, not away from him.
The only thing therefore that "invalidates" your faith is refusing to repent. It is the only unforgivable sin, mainly because if you refuse to repent you don't wanna be forgiven.

Yes, I'm an example

you can also be commie and trans btw
why do you think most commies are that way? John Money is literally the reincarnation of Karl Marx

This is false. Materialism is inherently antithetical to real woman ideology, while Christianity leaves it up in the air.

Yes, I'm against Communism because it is transphobic. That's why I'm Orthodox.

Thanks for answering, this is a really good explanation
