How deeply has sin affected the human family.

For this discussion, when using the word sin, we will be referring to its use in the Bible as it relates, not to wrong conduct, but in relation to the human condition, our missing the mark of perfection is Romans 3:23 and 5:12 show.

With the recent issue surrounding transgender identification, many have wondered just how is that a person born as one gender later identifies themselves as being another. To begin with, it cannot be dismissed that these ones truly feel that they were supposed to be another gender. The question is why. Here is where the Bible sheds light on how adversely the actions of Adam and Eve had on the human family.

As the Bible shows at Genesis chapter 3, the actions of this rebellious couple brought upon us the sad condition of missing the mark of perfection or sin. The 2 chapters in Romans sited earlier reveals one of the effects upon us due to they're actions, death. But inherently it also helps us understand why we grow old, get sick. It also encompasses why sometimes, children are born with no arms or no legs. It even helps us understand why some feel that they identify with a gender other than what they were born. These are all the dire affects of sin, or, missing the mark of being perfect, mentally, emotionally and physically.

Happily the Bible shows that one day, the human family will once again experience complete perfection that will never end. Please see Psalm 37:9-11 as just one of the many aspects of God's promise to make all things new. Revelation 21:3, 4.
