Jesus had to be perfect. Both in body, and in soul. A trans-woman mutilates his body. And a trans-woman has imperfection in his soul. If you offer a lame sacrifice---as is quoted in the prophets---God will not accept it. Meaning, your vision of Jesus must be as pure as God Himself. If you have a Jesus in your mind Who sinned, then you cannot be cleansed by Christ.
One must, therefore, hold a perfect image of Christ in their mind. Otherwise, they have offered a lame idol before God, and that idol will destroy you. Jesus must be wholly without sin. Never having tasted sin. Completely pure, perfect, unblemished, unstained by the world. And, by reading the Bible we understand He was. He was kind, compassionate, loving---yet also stern.
We must understand that God's love encompasses discipline for sin. If God has love for His subjects, He will discipline us like a father will his son. He will not leave us undisciplined. He will strike us, hard sometimes. As the prophet in Micah was placed in prison for his sin, and God had placed him there for a time. God is a disciplinarian.
We must understand this. We must not divert from this understanding, that God is wholly pure, wholly perfect, unstained, unblemished, without sin, without having done violence: without having love or kindness He cannot be God. Yet, that same Christ will come back with the sword and destroy the sinners. He is wholly a Prince of Peace, yet also, has wrath stored up for children of disobedience.
Mark 13:51Jesus saith unto them, Have ye understood all these things? They say unto him, Yea, Lord. 52Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.
