N.T. Wright Dances Around Transgenderism, Refuses to Call Trans Listener to Repent
In a recent episode of his podcast, Ask N.T. Wright Anything, Wright was asked by a self-described trans-identified woman—who now lives as a man and has undergone surgeries including a hysterectomy—whether her current lifestyle is sinful, and how the Bible might speak to her situation. According to The Christian Post, Wright responded not with clarity, but with the kind of theological oatmeal that tries to nourish everyone and ends up feeding no one.
Wright affirmed that “God meets us where we are and loves us as we are,” insisted this wasn’t an “anything goes” situation, then promptly refused to say what actually goes. He acknowledged that “females quite clearly have XX chromosomes, males have XY chromosomes,” then immediately backpedaled with “I’m not a scientist.”
Wright then said, “God may want to say to us… now, there are certain ways forward that you now need to travel,” but wouldn’t dare say what direction that road ought to point. He emphasized grace and love and bloviated about complexity. What he didn’t stress—or even remotely mention—was repentance.
And in the words of John MacArthur, N.T. Wright is N.T. Wrong.
