We are a separate people, that’s why he says, “…come out from among them…” (2 Corinthians 6:17).  You are not Adamic anymore, you are a “…royal priesthood,” Peter goes on and says, “…a holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light” (1 Peter 2:9), praise God.  Amen?  That should become a demarcation in our lives.  You know, scientists—they have the six different categories that are in existence in the living world, and it ends with the animal.  I’d like to see not only the church promote this understanding, but primarily live this revelation and truth:  We are not animals.  There needs to be a category called human.  Amen?  I’m serious.  There needs to be a category called “human.”  And within this category of human, you can only identify male and female in this human species.  Amen?  And for all of these people today, these mentally ill people.  These people that are promoting all of this transgender stuff, these people are sick.  This is not a personal preference; this is a disease.  These people are insane, mentally ill.  They do not need to be convinced; they need to be converted.  Amen?  

So, there’s only one hope for these people, we are supposed to love them, and we are supposed to preach the gospel to them.  Don’t go speak toward their perversion or their sins, go confront their sin.  Amen?  Get born again, make Jesus Lord, and then do whatever you want.  And what you’ll want to do is glorify God.  And obey His Word and seek His presence; amen?  For old things have passed away (2 Corinthians 5:17).  How many of you can say, “Praise God, old things have passed away”?  They’ve passed away.  You say, “Well—hmmm, amen, I believe the Word.”  Well, you’re right on in your theology—amen—you’re right to say they have passed away, but I still contend with them because of the Adamic nature, and the flesh is warring against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh.  Here is the good news:  sin—Romans 6—will no longer be able to have final dominion over you.  In other words, if you are committing a sin and drop dead, you will not go to hell, sin has not dominated you, and sin is no longer going to judge you upon your death, but our position as justified in Jesus Christ is what’s going to determine the consequences that follow.  Can you say praise God for that?
