What the Bible Says About Gender Identity Confusion

Hello everyone. Thank you for tuning in to the Spiritual Podcast, your podcast for authentic Bible teachings. I’m Elder Dan, your host. I am so glad you’ve carved out a few minutes of your day to sit down and have a real, honest conversation with me.

Lately, I’ve been getting a lot of emails and coffee-shop questions about the world we’re living in. Specifically, people are feeling a sense of deep confusion regarding gender and identity. We see it everywhere—on our screens, in our schools, and maybe even in our own families. There’s a growing narrative that says being a man or a woman is something we choose based on how we feel, rather than a gift we receive from our Creator.

But friends, when the compass of the culture starts spinning wildly, we have to look back at the True Compass: The Word of Yahweh (Bible)!

The Beauty of the Original Design

In the very beginning, Yahweh didn’t leave things to chance. He was intentional. Genesis 1:27 tells us:

“So Yahweh created mankind in his own image, in the image of Elohim He created them; male and female He created them.”

Yahweh didn’t create a spectrum of confusion; He created a beautiful, complementary binary. This isn’t a restriction—it’s a reflection of His character. When we try to blur the lines between “he” and “she,” we aren’t just changing a pronoun; we are drifting away from the blueprint that Elohim said was “very good.”

Walking Through the Hard Truths

I know some of this is tough to hear. But as your elder, I love you enough to tell you the truth, even when it’s counter-cultural. The Bible speaks clearly about when human desire goes outside of Yahweh’s boundaries.

• The Warning of Sodom and Gomorrah: In Genesis 19, we see the account of Sodom and Gomorrah. While many try to re-interpret this story, the New Testament provides the commentary we need. Jude 1:7 says these cities gave themselves over to sexual immorality and pursued “strange flesh.” This refers to desires that go against the natural order Yahweh established.

• Clear Boundaries in the Law: In Leviticus 18:22, the Word is direct: “Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.” Yahweh isn’t being a “killjoy” here; He is protecting the sanctity of the union He created.

• The Heart of the New Testament: Even in the New Testament, Paul writes in Romans 1:26-27 about how turning away from the Creator leads to “shameful lusts,” where natural relations are exchanged for unnatural ones.

Hope Beyond the Confusion

If you’re listening to this and you feel that tug-of-war in your soul—if you’re struggling with who you are—I want you to hear me: You are loved. Confusion is not from Yahweh. 1 Corinthians 14:33 reminds us that “Yahweh is not an Elohim of disorder but of peace.” When we stop trying to define ourselves and start letting Yahweh define us, that’s where we find rest. You don’t have to reinvent yourself. You just have to return to the One who knit you together in your mother’s womb.

We aren’t called to follow our hearts; we’re called to follow Him. And in Him, there is a clarity that the world can never provide.

Brethren, before I go, let me pray this prayer for you: May Yahweh bless you and keep you; may Yahweh make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; may Yahweh lift up His countenance upon you and give you peace. I humbly pray all these things to Yahweh through Yahshua the Messiah, our Master and coming King, amen. Kindly keep praying for the shalom of Israel. Take care. Halleluyah!
