Ronnie Floyd, the Duggar family pastor, believes that Bruce Jenner's transition into a woman named Caitlyn is a "sin against God," saying it's sad that Jenner is claiming that he thinks like a woman now.
According to Floyd, if God created a man, then the person is specifically and intentionally created a man. "So don't try to be something else," he said in a Raw Story report.
"You are formed by God specifically and intentionally," he stressed. "There are two different sexes, male and female. And the whole scheme of the world today is to try to get us to see those are very, very unclear lines. They're not unclear lines. They are clear lines."
The Duggar pastor added that "we're all broken" but the "Grace of God" prevented church-goers from thinking "confused and twisted" thoughts.
"Anytime we demean the value of human beings, we violate what God intends for that human being," he said. "It doesn't matter what the situation is. A child, a spouse, a family member. Doesn't matter what it is. Doesn't matter whether it's ISIS, Boko Haram or any other group that's coming against Christianity today. It doesn't matter. God can save them all."
At the risk of offending his listeners, Floyd even said that Bruce Jenner is just like everybody else – a broken sinner. But the good news, he said, is that all those who have sinned can still find redemption in God.
"We are born sinners, and we're born broken. And we're all in need of the grace of God. And we need to understand, regardless of our past, Christ died for us," he said.
Meanwhile, Rev. Franklin Graham also discussed the transition of Jenner on his Facebook page, saying that changing his outside appearance won't really change who he is on the inside.
"No man-made modification can fix what's wrong with the heart. Only God can fix the human heart. If we ask for His forgiveness and accept by faith His Son, Jesus Christ, He will wipe the slate clean," he said.
Graham also shared the Bible verse 2 Corinthians 5:17 that says, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new."
