https://bitesizebiblestudy.blogspot.com/2017/08/male-and-female-god-created-us.htmlGod created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.(Genesis 1:27; 5:2; Mark 10:6).
Who would have thought this verse would become controversial?
If we truly have compassion for mankind, we'll accept Biblical teaching and pray for people trapped in the harmful sins of transgenderism(1) and transvestism.
Our gender is no accident:
Psalm 139:13-16: "you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb…Your eyes saw my unformed body..."
We damage our souls when we defy God's choices:
Isaiah 45:9: "What sorrow awaits those who argue with their Creator. Does a clay pot argue with its maker? Does the clay dispute with the one who shapes it, saying, 'Stop, you're doing it wrong!'" (also Romans 9:20)
We have different personalities, interests, skills, and mannerisms. Not every man need be ruggedly masculine nor every woman lacy feminine. But God assigns gender, and He knows us better than we know ourselves (Psalm 139:1).
Scripture forbids both homosexuality and men who act like women: 1 Corinthians 6:9-10: “Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate [malakos], nor homosexuals [arsenokoitasis], nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
Malakos means men who intentionally act like women. Arsenokoitai means same-gender sexual activity.(1)
Revisionist gay teachers claim malakos and arsenokoitasis must be translated together to condemn:
1. Homosexuals who role-play male-female sex roles; and/or
2. Homosexuals who sexually abuse others. In this explanation, they claim malakos refers to abused boys.
Neither of these arguments is legitimate:
1. The Greek does not combine malakos and arsenokoitis but condemns homosexuals and effeminate men separately.(2)
If we assume that the only homosexuals condemned are those who have sex with effeminate homosexuals, then we might just as logically assume that covetous people are only wrong when they participate with thieves. The Greek doesn't reflect this combining of sins.
2. If malakos are victims, God would never condemn them!
Scripture condemns transgender behavior (read more), and it also condemns homosexuality. Nowhere does it make exceptions for either. If this passage actually meant what revisionists claim, our all-wise God would have worded it to reflect that meaning because our sexual behavior is of utmost importance to God (1 Corinthians 6:18).
In addition, revisionist gay teachers generally approve of transgenderism, which further weakens their arguments. Why would God approve of transgenderism but condemn people born male who act like women?

(1)This devotion is not discussing ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia), which is a birth defect where a child is born with genitalia that are not clearly defined. This devotion is discussing people who are clearly born with male or female genitalia but claim they are meant to be the opposite sex or who claim they are neither or both male and female.
The explanation I see for Gender sounds like a fantasy land of what ever someone is feeling any given day. So I'm not buying it. Male/female according to biology, you know the science, DNA and all. But really that's not my complaint at the moment. Lets say that there are numerous genders.
Why are men who want to become women, trans women, allowed to compete against cis gender women in athletics? It seems there is a real unfair physical advantage held by the trans woman. Born as a man, grew up as a man, then makes a change and competes as a women. Bigger, faster, stronger, larger heart and lungs, stronger cardio vascular system, has more natural testosterone in their body and have to take suppressants.
So, why not have a gender class for each and every gender so all is equal and fair within the competitive group. Biological boys, biological girls, men/wome, compete against like gender species. What ever you do with the rest is up to your gender pyscho babble determination. Was a boy, now a girl compete within that group and so on. That would be what the left calls equity wouldn't it?
God himself made a woman out of a man. The very first transgender?
They are the only indicators that matters to God. It doesn’t matter what pronoun one wants to use. Those who do will not see the kingdom of God.Genitalia are not the only indicators of biological sex. You'd probably know that it you got any of your scientific knowledge from somewhere other than a bible-thumper website.

He/she took a piece of a man to make a woman. It's right there in your book,No, it's not.
Eve was not created a male (and, then changed into a female).
God made them, "male and female."
Eve was created a female from Adam's rib.....but she's not his clone either.
Being female, she's got differing DNA from Adam.
Eve being created from Adam's rib (not from a fresh clump of dust), was more of a symbolism for a married couple - what the wife is to her husband.
Like Adam, Eve was also created to the image of God. God's likeness.
Intersex people exist.
Another Biblical “truth” that turns out to be immediately false.
Guess you missed this in the article...or maybe you didn't bother to read at all...Intersex people exist.

Yes, it dances away from a significant issue rather than addressing. How could god have “made everyone male or female”, when some people are intersex?
Is it okay for someone who is intersex to decide for themselves if they are a man or woman?
This devotion is not discussing ambiguous genitalia (atypical genitalia), which is a birth defect where a child is born with genitalia that are not clearly defined.
Why should God's creation be exclusive to other lifestyles.
you are welcome to start your own thread...Why should God's creation be exclusive to other lifestyles.
Sure the norm is to get married and have children, but what about those that are born androgynous?

For the 3rd time...Or I can directly question the title of this one as I’ve been doing:
How is it possible that everyone is “created man or woman” when intersex people exist?
Is that a really problematic question for you?

Here ya go...Genitalia are not the only indicators of biological sex. You'd probably know that it you got any of your scientific knowledge from somewhere other than a bible-thumper website.
Females (actual females) will no longer exist giving the current trajectory ..
