Amen, the Spirit will never contradict Scripture. However, the Spirit may, on occasion, challenge our traditional understandings and interpretations of the Scripture. The Spirit has challenged traditional dogmas regarding spiritual gifts, the Trinity, baptism, sacrements, holiness, slavery, race, etc.. If the Spirit never challenged our dogmas...there wouldn't be an Apostolic movement. So, I do believe we should consider challenging leadings of the Spirit.

God has made it pretty clear about the differences between men and women. He is a man regardless of surgery or anything else. Even if a surgery takes place HE will have to take medications to artificially help HIM look like a woman. What is worse is that in some places men are going into women's dressing rooms and bathrooms because they say they fell like a woman. Women who speak up are castigated.
We certainly live in a time when people call good evil and evil good.

Amen. My point is simple human respect. Many in moral crisis turn to the most loving and respectful Christian they know when they come to the end of self and realize their need for Christ.
