In case there was any confusion, he’s against it.
After proclaiming that God would forgive serial molester Josh Duggar, Rev. Ronnie Floyd told congregants at Cross Church that Jenner is a sinner in the eyes of God and should no longer be seen as an American hero.
‘That is sad,’ Floyd said of the Olympic gold medalist’s coming out as transgender. ‘But let me tell you what else is sad, the comments from the american culture, comments like “once a champion, always a champion” comments like “an American hero once again.”‘

The Arkansas pastor also proclaimed:
‘God didn’t make him like that,’ the Arkansas pastor proclaimed. ‘There are two different sexes, male and female…They’re not unclear lines, if you are created a man, you are specifically and intentionally created to be a man so don’t try to be anything else.’
Meanwhile, Floyd spoke out on Josh Duggar’s admitted sexual assaults on young girls by saying that the serial molester could win back the love of the lord.
‘I’m thankful, whether it’s him or any other one, that I serve a God who can forgive everything,’ Floyd told People.
The Southern Baptist Convention, for which Floyd serves as elected president–representing the nation’s largest protestant denomination with 15.7 million members–last year passed a resolution.

denouncing efforts by governments to ‘validate transgender identity as morally praiseworthy’ at its annual convention.
Floyd said the SBC’s stance reflects the denomination’s adherence to the Bible and will not be compromised.
Earlier in 2014, a Southern California SBC church decided to stop condemning homosexuality as sinful and instead embraced a ‘third way.’
Floyd said that in relaxing its views on gay members, the church and its pastor had ‘chosen to disassociate itself with the Southern Baptist Convention’ and that the denomination ‘does not support or condone’ such action.
