Bible Question: I just saw a question about predetermined sexual orientation. Personally, I think this is a choice and not that we were born that way, but I was wondering about hermaphrodites (spelling?). They are born with the sex organs of both male and female. Is it wrong that their parents decide to make them a particular gender? Is it wrong for us to judge them if we make them a woman and they end up being more masculine or vice versa? I saw a show about this once and felt sorry for the people in this situation. |
Bible Answer: From Feb. 1, 1999 - Press Trust of India - "Marriage Between Close Relations Increases Risk Of Hermaphroditism. India has the highest number of babies with indeterminate sex, Dr Gupta said, adding each year about 40 such cases are treated in AIIMS." http://www.healthyplace.com/communities/gender/intersexuals/article_incest.htm Since someone has said: "So whom do we blame? The Bible says 'male and female created He them.' Any one of us could have been born with a gender mix-up. It's a part of nature. This has been going on since the beginning of man." John 10:10: "The thief comes not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." You may also wish to do a web search on "chimerism" or "chromosomal abnormality" as well. |
