Blasphemous Portrayal of Jesus as Transgender

“A Scottish teachers union’s decision to promote a controversial play depicting Jesus Christ as transgender in celebration of June, what LGBT activists call ‘Pride Month,’ has outraged Christians who’ve long opposed the play, noting that ‘true biblical Christianity is becoming marginalized through political correctness.’ The union, called Education Institute of Scotland, which claims to represent around 80% of the country’s lecturers and teachers, plans to hold an LGBT event where they will feature excerpts of ‘The Gospel According to Jesus Queen of Heaven,’ as the production is titled, according to The Christian Institute. The play, which will be featured as part of a ‘Pride’ event, ‘School’s Almost Out! Celebrate Pride,’ on June 17, ‘invites us to imagine Jesus coming back to Earth in the present day as a trans woman,’ the EIS says. The play’s creator, Jo Clifford, a man who identifies as female and says he also identifies his religion as Christian, says the play recreates biblical stories with a ‘different slant.’ ‘The play imagines a transgender Jesus coming back to the world today,’ Clifford told BBC News in a previous interview. ‘She pitches a sermon and tells a few very familiar Gospel stories,’ Clifford added, ‘She has a communion, shares bread and wine with the audience, which is really a gesture of solidarity in the face of death, and she gives a blessing. So it’s a very important, very intimate show.’”

CONCLUSION: This type of thing is a clear fulfillment of Bible prophecy and is a sign of the times: “But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not. For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly; And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities” (2 Peter 2:1-10).
