A Hermaphrodite is a person whose sex chromosomes, genitalia and/or secondary sex characteristics are determined to be neither exclusively male nor female.

Since God hates gays and sends them all to hellfire for their sin, what does he do with the hermaphrodite who chooses to get Married and have sex with the spouse?

of course, along with trans-sexuals and trans-genders and trans-ams.

God doesn't hate gays, but He does hate dumbass trolls.

Jesus Loves Me, But He Can't Stand You.

schizman, you're going to Hell for a long, LONG list of reasons, but your special condition isn't one of them.

Gee, let's ask a question about a genetic aboration that is statistically close to nill, and then imply "in your face" because I think I have created a clever argument.

Afterall, the Bible talks about confessing Jesus with your mouth, so I will ask a clever question about those who can't talk.

I am a genius.

Let me put it another way. Is it a sin for a hermaphradite to have sex in the same way it is a sin for people of the same gender to have sex with each other?

Let me put it another way. Can God draw a four-sided triangle?

What's illogical about his question? Hermaphrodites exist. Four sided triangles don't.

And aside from the fact that the question is still valid even with a low percentage of occurrence you're off your rocker if you think the percentage is close to nil. I've met several throughout my life.

Nope, your initial post implies that they are evenly both sexes, when we both know that statistically, a person that is actually half one and the other is almost nonexistent.

Most have primarily one sex characteristic with secondary development of the other sex.

This isn't true at all. And again, what does "most" have to do with it? It's not ALL so it's still a valid question - it's one I bring up in gay marriage debates that I've never actually seen answered.

From wikipedia :

quote:

---

precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%.[1]

Applying this approximation to the population of the U.S. yields about 54,000 intersex people.

That's a hell of a lot more than zero.

There are so many things wrong with your initial question that it is unanswerable.

Also, I don't know enough about hermaphrodites to answer you. So, I would revert to the most general principles about God: He is holy and loving.

God is loving and will always act with justice, love, mercy and grace towards his children.

The real question is, "will Herman Munster go to hell?"

By relegating it to a low probability, Lone Stranger seeks to avoid the uncomfortable problem that the hermaphrodite presents to his belief system. What will God do with a 50/50 intersexual if he/she elects to engage in sexual activity? If this individual chooses to marry a male because he/she identifies more with the female gender identity – what is God to do in this case where the individual assigns themselves a sex role based on mental gender identity rather than based on biological gender?

marry themselves?

Well if they marry another hermaphrodite then I think they're okay...

schizmann, you seem to paint a picture of a cruel and capricious God.

I think few (if any) on this forum know of any such God.

Are you kidding. Many on this Board believe in a God that sends the vast majority of all people to a place of eternal torment - for the trivial reason that they do not worship him. You cannot be more cruel than that.

Your characterization is way off.

Hey, pretty much anything ABC does goes straight to hell.

Uli Kunkles buddies don't know anything.

What a simpleminded, obtuse, and generally offensive question.

WHY is it simple minded, obtuse, and offensive?

There ARE people who have both sexes (even going so far as to have some female cells and some male cells.) There ARE people who have neither sex.

Who should these people be allowed to marry? Anyone? No one?

Only God can draw a four-sided triangle. If you were to put our efforts under a microscope, they would be seen to be omni-sided. The sides would not meet each other perfectly enough to define themselves as three.

Similarly, no one is capable of having sex without sin of some sort. Not even an hermaphrodite.

Those are fair questions; not at all like the one asked in the topic line.

When a baby is born with both sex organs, a gender is nearly always "decided upon" at birth. (I understand that, usually, one gender is more pronouced than the other). In most cases, that should settle the question.

In cases where it does not, I trust the grace of God to guide the seeker to whatever is best for his or her situation.

I think the original question was phrased badly but the question still seems like a fair one. One that apparently no Christian on this board is willing to tackle. I understand that and one should plead ignorance in such a circumstance but not act like the question is not reasonable.
