Franklin Graham slams ‘repulsive, shameful’ claim that Jesus has ‘trans’ body

ChristianPost.com reports: “The Rev. Franklin Graham rebuked the notion that Jesus Christ has a ‘trans body’ after a research student at the University of Cambridge made that assertion during a sermon, offending many churchgoers in the process. 

In a Facebook post on Monday, Graham reacted to the outrage that ensued after Joshua Heath, a junior research fellow at Cambridge, delivered a sermon at the school’s Trinity College on Nov. 20, likening Jesus’ side wound and blood flowing to the groin in Jean Malouel’s 1400 work Pietà to looking like a vagina…

Graham joined the chorus of criticism directed at Heath’s sermon, which he described as ‘repulsive and shameful.’ The prominent televangelist and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse asserted that ‘to insinuate that Jesus Christ, the Holy Son of God, is transgender or to sexualize in any way His sacrificial death on the Cross for the sins of mankind is utter heresy.’

Noting that ‘the Bible warns us about false teachers,’ Graham maintained that ‘this speaker and the dean at the University of Cambridge who defended him are false teachers, preaching heresy.’ Graham insisted that ‘people don’t need messages from the pulpit that are trying to interpret art like this speaker was — people need the truth of the Word of God that has the power of God to change hearts and lives for eternity!’

‘The Bible warns us to beware … ‘there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction,’’ he concluded. As Graham alluded to, top officials at the University of Cambridge stood by Heath following the firestorm that erupted due to his remarks…”
