Bryan Fischer kicked off his radio broadcast today with a discussion of Deuteronomy 22, in particular the prohibition against women wearing men’s clothes or men wearing women’s clothes, asserting that this is God’s way of saying that He does not approve of transgenderism, which is why people recoil upon seeing transgender individuals.
Deuteronomy 22: 5 states:
A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Fischer assured his audience that this does not apply to people who are just “fooling around” by dressing up as the opposite sex or prohibit unisex styles of clothing, but rather it is a prohibition on people presenting themselves as members of the opposite sex, because doing so in “an abomination.”
“What the word ‘abomination’ refers to is this just internal kind of glitch that we get when we see that,” Fischer said. “That comes from God because God reacts to that the same way that we do. We see transgenderism on display and there’s something inside us that recoils against that. There’s something inside us that says that is not normal. There’s something inside us that says that is not right. And God feels exactly the same way about that as we do. That inner recoil that we experience when we see that on display, we got that capacity from God because we are made in his image”:
Just last week, Fischer made a very similar argument for why people supposedly recoil at the thought of “homosexual behavior.”
