Why not they are also humans, aren't they.

I do not know how to react on this.. But i am putting some practical questions in-front of you all..

1. Why we have to choose a transgender as a pastor? Are we lack of Men or Women pastors in India? (excuse: I think it is Ok until the transgender is an evangelist.. He is also a Human created by God)

2. How can he preach to teen age guys in the church about their age problems? His emotions will not match with any of normal people's emotions ryt..!

3. How can a normal church member Men will accept him and women will accept him in their family prayer meetings? And how can they share their personal problems with him?

4. How can he preach about lust and attraction between men and women? (People will not say.. what does he know? He himself was not able to control or understand normal gender emotions..!)


Please answer from practical point of view.. These questions are not for argument sake. I feel that A pastor should be all in one.
Evangelist will preach only Gospel to gentiles.
Preacher will preach sermons and will teach how to live like Jesus Christ
Seer will tell what will happen in future..!
etc...

But A Pastor is an All in One, available at all the times with local people like a first AID. Then he will brought church members to specialists in those gifts.. that is why pastors are being graduated with B.TH and M.th and getting license for Marriage Etc..

I may have a different opinion, that is the whole point of this forum to exchange ideas and thoughts:

The human race consists of three genders: male, female, transgender.

The transgender itself consists of many forms, but the main thing we have to consider is that transgender people are also created by God and it is not their fault for being born that way.

If other males and females cannot accept it, it is because of their ignorance and for not being brought up in that way to consider that transgender people also have heart, mind and soul.

Let us see what the bible says:

Isaiah 56:4,5
For this is what the LORD says:

   To the eunuchs who keep my Sabbaths, who choose what pleases me and hold fast to my covenant— to them I will give within my temple and its walls a memorial and a name better than sons and daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that will not be cut off.
