Seeing how homosexual individuals and liberal interpreters of the Bible claim that sexual orientation is not a matter of human choice and how the fundamental side disagrees,
Any sexual behavior is a choice. Is it not? We are not a species that
goes in heat.
I would like to hear people's honest opinions on what they think about intersexuality (formerly known as hermaphroditism) and its theological implications.
What does "and its theological implications" mean? That some human is born with an incredibly rare birth defect known as hermaphrodtic condition doesn't change theology.
Surely, people don't CHOOSE to be ambiguous before they are born, do they?
One in a quarter million people are born with this defect.
Are the other letters in the LGB (T) thing going to link on to that? Obviously, science can show them what gender they are.
. . . and intersexuality has such a broad ontogeny that you can't just blame the parents either (e.g. some cases stem from GENETIC origins surely outside of human control, such as incomplete chromosome disjunction)
Ontogeny? Hopefully you are not going to recapitulation nonsense.
If God allows intersexuality (an unavoidable congential sexual condition), would it be that much of a stretch to believe that there can possibly be other forms of sexual deviations beyond human control, and homosexuality could be one such thing? (most people who identify themselves with homosexual orientations seem to claim there condition is just that--a congenital phenomenon)
Bingo!!!! The whole of gay theology hinges on a birth defect? Now we know why they attach the T to their agenda.
The incredibly rare infliction of a hermaphrite condition is not going to justify gay behavior in the Church.
I am not claiming that I know the truth. I simply want an honest and open discussion.
Most transexuals (though an amazingly rare gentic defect in humans) are seeking a sex assigment condition. THAT WOULD MEAN, that sexuality is being sought in the correct form.
Actually, transsexualism is an afront to people that promote homosexuality. And as an issue in the Church, if a man is actually, per "his" DNA is a woman, that wants to become a woman so "she" can engage in homosexuality, they would need to be opposed by Bible affirming Christians per scripture.
So for the one in 250,000 that are true hermaphrodites, make a choice of gender, and let's get back to the Bible.
That is no different than for every other believer.
