The Devil likes to make up terms to push his ideas. “Gender dysphoria” is a made-up name for people who don’t believe they are what God made them to be. I’ve taught language for years, and “gender” used to be a term only used for classifying nouns, adjectives, and participles. It has nothing directly to do with sex. God made “men and women,” as Jesus said in Mark 10:6: “But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female.” People who deny God and his creation, deny their own bodies:
Romans 1:24-27 [J. B. Phillips translation]:
They GAVE UP GOD: and therefore God gave them up – to be the playthings of their own foul desires in dishonouring their own bodies. These men deliberately forfeited the truth of God and ACCEPTED A LIE, paying homage and giving service to the creature instead of to the Creator, who alone is worthy to be worshipped for ever and ever, amen. God therefore handed them over to DISGRACEFUL PASSIONS. Their women exchanged the normal practices of sexual intercourse for something which is ABNORMAL AND UNNATURAL. Similarly the men, turning from natural intercourse with women, were swept into lustful passions for one another. Men with men performed these SHAMEFUL HORRORS, receiving, of course, in their own personalities the consequences of sexual perversity.
The English word dysphoria is from the Ancient Greek δύσφορος (dúsphoros), meaning “grievous.” That Greek word comes from δυσ- (dus-) “bad or difficult” and φέρω (phérō) “to bear or carry.” It is a profound state of unease or dissatisfaction. Sadly, people are uneasy or dissatisfied about how GOD MADE THEM. Isn’t it strange that birds and flowers don’t t think that way. Jesus said they happily live with God’s blessings and can even bless others [Matthew 6:26-29].
For born-again believing Christians, we must NEVER HAVE dysphoria about who God made us to be. That includes spiritually what we have in Christ. Sadly, some Christians seem to have Jesus dysphoria. They deny who God made them to be spiritually when they made Jesus their Lord, and they are ashamed to tell others about the wonderful things our Father can do. We mustn’t be like them.
Galatians 2:20 [The Passion Translation]:
“My OLD IDENTITY has been co-crucified with Messiah and no longer lives; for the nails of his cross crucified me with him. And now the ESSENCE OF THIS NEW LIFE is no longer mine, for the Anointed One lives his life through me—WE LIVE IN UNION AS ONE! My new life is empowered by the faith of the Son of God who loves me so much that he gave himself for me, and dispenses his life into mine!
Thank you for your faithfulness to trust our Father, His Son, and to accept and declare the blessings and truth we have in Christ.
Amen. I love you.

I think that the devil has come to young boys and girls through out the centuries to influence them to consider that the fruit might taste good.
But once they try it, They feel as though that is love. The wrong kind of love and maybe the only attention and love that they have really ever had. It becomes a life style of living.
Then the evil spirit of homosexuality and other spirits take up residency in them, and begin to erode their innocence, and they begin a life of perversity, that only God can rescue them from.
If they never turn to God for deliverance it could eventually lead them to sell their soul, and eventually die. You know, HIV, and many other venereal diseases that take them out. Then it destroys any chance of them having children, and a family, the way God designed it, or making any kind of a positive impact on this earth.
John 10:10a The thief comes not but for steal, and to kill, and to destroy.
On the flip-side many have been delivered, and, have had very successful lives with God in Christ and society.
Jehovah Rapha, the God that heals thee. He is what we all need for mental and physical healing from any malady or spiritual disfunction.
Happy healing,
God bless
I have no Dysphoria! I know who I am in Christ and I am very satisfied with it. And thanks for the picture of you and Sherry!
