Transgender in Biblical Contex Photo by Baran Lotfollahi on Unsplash The Book of scriptures does not address transgender character within the same way modern society does, since the concept of being transgender—as we get it it today—did not exist within the old world.

These cardinal sins—Pride, Envy, Wrath, Sloth, Greed, Lust, and Gluttony—are not crimes in a legal sense, but rather spiritual failings that lead people away from divine grace and moral virtue. Though not explicitly listed in this way in the Bible, the Seven Deadly Sins have become a cornerstone of Christian ethical teaching and remain a powerful symbol of human temptation and moral struggle. Origins and Historical Context The origin of the Seven Deadly Sins can be traced to early Christian monasticism. In the 4th century, a monk named Evagrius Ponticus compiled a list of eight “evil thoughts,” which he believed were the root of all sin. These were later translated into Latin and modified by John Cassian , a Roman monk who introduced these ideas to Western Christianity. The li...
