VIII. MAIN BODY:
A. Women and men should not wear what is not for them
"The woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man, neither shall a man put on a woman’s garment,"
Being male and female will be lost if you don't acknowledge the LORD GOD, the Creator of all the earth in your heart. That's why unbelievers are often either homosexual or lesbian. They will tell you it's inborn, they acquired it from youth, they tell you it's because the environment they were brought in. They will blame everyone and even blame GOD, but in reality, they are to be blame because they never gave GOD glory and honor.
Romans 1:21-28 King James Version (KJV)
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
1 Corinthians 11:4-15 King James Version (KJV)
4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
Illustration:
GOD created them male and female. GOD created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
Illustration:
There's a famous male celebrity wherein he was happily wed before with another woman, now she's married to another. But he's a cross-dresser in most of his shows and people laugh at him, and he made it his career. When judgement comes, GOD will detest this male celebrity
B. These are abominations to the LORD
"for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord your God"
Deuteronomy 18:12 King James Version (KJV)
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.
Abomination or "toebah toebah" in Hebrew meaning: disgusting, idolatry, abhorrence
Abhorrence means "hating, detesting, contrary, odious, inconsistent with, expressive of extreme opposition"
If you want to please GOD, acknowledge and receive GOD in your heart, accept the LORD JESUS in your heart as LORD and SAVIOR and He will change you and make you a real man and real woman because you were created in His image to be like who you really are.
IX. CONCLUSION:
Genesis 1:26-27 King James Version (KJV)
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Praise, worship and thank You very much LORD JESUS for You created me in Your Image, in Your Likeness to give You glory, honor and worship.
