Pastor's Controversial Interpretation of Matthew 12:11 Sparks Online Debate

A recent video by Pastor CT has sparked debate online. The video, which references Matthew 12:11, argues that Jesus's teachings support acceptance of transgender and non-binary identities. "Jesus accepts and affirms the gender identities outside of the heteronormative binary," Pastor CT states in the video. This interpretation contrasts sharply with some conservative views. The pastor also points to Jesus's condemnation of divorce as a parallel, suggesting hypocrisy in selectively applying biblical teachings. The video has generated significant online conversation, highlighting the ongoing tension between religious beliefs and modern understandings of gender identity.
