AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God [which He has laid] stands [sure and unshaken despite attacks], bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are His," and, "Let everyone who names the name of the Lord stand apart from wickedness and withdraw from wrongdoing." [Num 16:5; Is 26:13] |
Bible Question: Would hermaphrodites who are married or dating be considered sinners since they were born with both male and female sex organs and homosexuality is a sin? |
Bible Answer: Dear Pris, Greetings in the name of Jesus! God knows who are His. If a person is apprehended by God, given the gift of faith to believe, and the grace of God poured into their life, then God will direct the path of any who name the name of Jesus! This path will invariably be in accord with the Bible. Do you know any hermaphrodites? I don't mean plants or snails! :-) Or is this just a hypothetical? If you truly know someone with this dilemma, and they are trusting in God for an answer, then they should submit themselves to the authority of a local church pastor, and obey his advice. God will lead His shepherd throught the Word and the Spirit, and the Holy Spirit will lead the afflicted in the path of righteousness. Out of curiosity I ask, what do you mean by 'married or dating?' If you are talking of sexual 'orientation,' then follow the above steps. Otherwise, you are probably talking of promiscuity. Peace in Christ Jesus, charis |
