    Firstly, I'm a very conservative Christian. I dont agree with this "answer" to how would you answer someone like that. The question is not about LGBTQ. Its about a real chromosomal medical condition. I would tell that person that God loves him and guide him to God's love and try to lead him to salvation. I wouldn't be vain to explain something I don't understand. My job as a Christian is to live a Christian life, lead others to Christ, and defend the faith. Not to tell someone their medical condition is rare. Imagine telling a person born with no legs that God created man with legs and that thier comdition is rare?

      @ashleyabdelmalak8278 Thanks for expressing your concern.
      Hank is acknowledging intersex is a real medical condition rooted in chromosomal anomalies. God does love them. They live in a sinful fallen world (hence the intersex issues), and need of a Savior. (Intersex is rare since it occurs only in a minute number of instances.)
      But, the Christian can never simply buy into the mythos that the occurrence of intersex is the evidence for gender fluidity. The question is about LGBTQ because the LGBTQ keeps exploiting the intersex to champion the myth of gender fluidity and to denounce gender being rooted in biology.
      Intersex is addressed in this episode of Hank Unplugged w/ Benjamin Cabe.

    I was born intersex.. I got ovaries, uterus but male genitalia. I don't produce semen but was brought up male by my christian family. However I have always looked female and have bone structure, female features. I get periods but don't bleed. I'm christian and love Jesus with all my heart but it can be hard when allot of christians don't understand what intersex is. I consider myself female and live as female though my family disagree mainly cause they picked me as male.. issue I find is I feel female inside and out medically and I feel jesus knows me as female but at birth we can't pick how we are brought up so it can be a issue with family. I also have autism.

    It is sad that many christians feel the humans need to fit in neat little boxes based on what does or does not dangle between someones legs. Wonderful and fearfully made are we. God knew us in the womb. He intricately knit us. Just because he made man and woman in the very beginning, does not mean he made other variations. Saying intersex birth is a result of sin and a broken world blankets the intersex community with guilt and shame. It starts with us to change this approach and welcome the intersex community with open arms. Not fear and speculation based on differences.

      @@Electricc__I disagree. I truly believe that god knows our hearts, our bodies and soul. He himself said he does not make mistakes. He made intersex HUMAN BEINGS for a reason and one day when we are in heaven he will tell us or we will know. I pray to him as I say this to help me understand. I don’t think it’s a disorder nor a burden. God loves his humans and the devil is trying to make us believe that we aren’t made correctly. It’s not that we were born incorrectly. God does not make people incorrectly, I myself have a physical facial “defect” but he healed my face in the womb and I still have the “defect” inside my body. I was not born wrong, I love that I have something different about myself that most people don’t have. A lot of doctors have said they have never seen it before which I find very cool. I may not be intersexual that I know of but I am different. So are they. We were all made in love by god and beauty in his eyes just as the world was made in the likeness of heaven. Don’t take that away from people because you also feel that sins from our ancestors are somehow put on us. Our sins are after we are born and when we cannot truly sin until puberty because we do not know what we are doing until puberty. We are pure which is why most women feel shame come over them after they get their first period. That is a women’s sin as the Bible puts it because of Eve. What did the men get because of Adam? Eve was beguiled by the devil, or as some like to say the serpent but Adam knew better and blamed Eve. Just because god made man and women as the first humans does not mean that intersex people were made from sin. Sometimes I feel as though god laughs at our own questioning because he has given us the answers in the Bible and no where in the Bible does it say that intersexual people were made because of sin.

    This is like so many other matters of human sexuality is very complex and there is no easy answers or quick solutions. There are at least 30 different manifestation of intersexualism each having to be addressed on an individual basis. Some born like this wish not to have any surgery and many who were "assigned" a gender as babies feel wrong in their bodies. In some instances surgery is not an option voluntarily or otherwise. The truth is there is no clear biblical reference for this issue. I wonder what was done in ancient times when there were no hormonal test or any way to look into the body to examine sexual function. It angers me that the church can not admit when there is no biblical answer for an issue such as this one and just throw around non-applicable scripture.

    Please forgive me if this story is considered inappropriate within this context? Whether anyone considers themselves christian or not, may I please include some extra nuance to your conversation? I have no intention of attempting any kind of evangelization in my contribution, I would however like to supply some extra dimensión to the discourse. To advance some concepts I would like to present some quotes.
    First:
    Isa 56:4-5 KJV 4 For thus saith the LORD unto the eunuchs that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things that please me, and take hold of my covenant; 5 Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off.
    Second:
    Mat 19:11-12 KJV 11 But he said unto them, All men cannot receive this saying, save they to whom it is given. 12 For there are some eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb: and there are some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men: and there be eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's sake. He that is able to receive it, let him receive it.
    Third:
    Act 8:26-40 KJV which I consider too long to be quoted here.
    I would love to note first that the term eunuch in these quotes seems to be defined by the Lord Jesus himself to include intersex individuals (eunuchs, which were so born from their mother's womb). Unwilling (some eunuchs, which were made eunuchs of men) and willing (eunuchs, which have made themselves eunuchs) individuals appear similarly defined.
    May I also note the quote (unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name better than of sons and of daughters). I am aware that original Hebrew literally is translated "a hand and a name" greater than of sons and of daughters. I am, however, quite intrigued by the implications that eunuchs are given recognition separate from sons and from daughters.
    I consider myself to be a eunuch (trans). I am not exactly a son and not exactly a daughter. I have a woefully masculine face and physique but I am definitely not a son (AMAB MTF post SRS (GCS)). Therefore I do not fit in sons' spaces or daughters' spaces.
    I have immersed myself in the philosophical, psychological, political and theological literature and media for a significant portion of seven decades and conclude that I am physically, politically, perceptually and theologically non-binary. Psychologically, I have identified as female since the age of two or three but diligent discipline discouraged any hint or discussion of my feminine identity or behavior. My ideal puberty would have included hormone blockers until a legally acceptable age to begin HRT and GCS (SRS) and then as nearly normal womanhood as attainable.
    In actuality, the diligent discipline has induced my voluntary celibacy and perception that I have been insidiously gaslighted and have a subtle incidence of complex traumatic stress disorder by the dismissing, ignoring, denying and suppressing of my gender identity.
    I hope my comments and the quotes are discovered to be beneficial. I pray that nothing is found to be triggering because my intent was to be somehow loving, compassionate and empathetic to each and everyone. If you have deigned to read this entire comment, thank you much!

    • @rh10033
      @rh10033 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I have had similar thoughts.
      I do believe the bible speaks to those who don't have a clear sex identity. I know many people don't like this view, but I think anyone who is confused sexually or isn't clear about their gender identity should obstain from marriage. The bible said it's better to remain unmarried. You have so much more time to devote to the kingdom of God when you don't have a spouse and children to worry about. You are less tied down to this world in general. And honestly, God is not male or female and neither are the angels. When we are resurrected there will be no more marriage or sex. Maybe there won't even be gender either?
      Matt. 22:33 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
      I also believe contrary to popular conservative christian rhetoric that people are born with homosexual attractions. It is not always a learned trait. But we are all born with a corrupted flesh that wants to sin in some sort of way. No one ever taught me how to lie. I was born a liar, but I had to be born again.
      John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
      When people hear that something is wrong with them and that they can't do whatever pleases them, it is offensive and they usually don't accept this. They take it as an attack on who they are as a person instead of repenting and realizing their own brokenness.
      John 3:19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
      I truly feel for those who are born intersex. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to be uncertain about your sex or gender. But thankfully this is a temporary issue in light of eternity. Those who are in Christ will one day be made whole physically and spiritually and there will be no more suffering, confusion, or pain.

    If 1 in 1500 are born this way, there are close to 5 million intersex people in the world. That’s rare, but it’s also a lot of people. The fallen-world argument makes sense. But few other abnormalities at birth present an equivalent moral dilemma. I agree with not allowing an abnormality to determine doctrine, but many people still need to know how to respond to this type of situation. We know it’s abnormal because the Bible teaches that we should either be male or female. But so many are born with various abnormalities who are loved as much as anyone else, and people born intersex should be loved the same. While I agree with ideas expressed in this video, it feels like the solution presented is to just pick a gender for those faced with the dilemma or to ignore this type of situation for those who can do so. Maybe, not worrying about it will work for some who will never face this situation; but that won’t work for many. I would hate to have to choose a gender for someone. What if you made the wrong choice? And I don’t really believe that having cared and done ones best is adequate consolation for those whose gender may have been chosen incorrectly. And the fallen-world argument tells us that fallen people are the ones who make such decisions when they are made, and that means that devastatingly wrong decisions are frequently made. While I agree with principled ideas in this video, I find it lacking in any practical advice for those who have to face this kind of situation. But in all fairness, I don’t have a better answer.

    This was insightful. Thanks for sharing a new perspective. Now there is controversy about transgender people having sex reassignment surgeries. People say that is is wrong on the basis that God made everyone in his image. Now would someone who was born with female and male organs have to live with both for the rest of their life, since sex changes are wrong? I agree with when you said making a decision like this needs to consider multiple factors and you said neurological. Our minds are constantly develop and people can regret choosing a specific sex. is it best to just live with it without changing the way you were born?

      Surgeries can be done later with the child’s input if the parents are brave enough to support, I’d imagine. Seems like the chromosomes, the genitals, the body type, the hormones would all play a factor in making such decisions but I’m just thinking out loud…

    I Believe the parents should pray to God and seek counsel from Him before assigning a gender if they are born this way, kind of like the way God sealed Joseph lips before he named Jesus and John the Baptist...We should always seek God in big decisions like this z showing Him that we trust Him in all situations in our lives 🙏🏽💞❤️‍🔥💯☝🏽

    Hanegraff says a lot and then again...says nothing at all that is substantial. The primary questions I have are: [1] why would a perfect God even allow this to occur since it would cause the person to likely be very confused about their sexual identity, and [2] according to scripture, who are they allowed to marry? OK, there are no answers from the Bible that can truthfully answer these questions. This is a reason why I left Christianity because the bottom line is this question has no answer from a biblical viewpoint.

    • @rh10033
      @rh10033 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Why do children get molested and abused? Why are people born with all sorts of abnormalities? Why are there awful wars going on every day? Sin.
      Eveything in this life is fallen. Nothing is perfect. We all face different challenges because of this, although some seem to face harder obstacles than others. This is how I know that Christianity is true. This world is so broken and needs a savior. All of creation groans to be restored.
      Rom. 8:21 that the creation itself also will be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth together until now. 23 And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
      Having that said, I do believe the bible speaks to those who don't have a clear sex identity. I know many people don't like this view, but I think anyone who is confused sexually or isn't clear about their gender identity should obstain from marriage. The bible said it's better to remain unmarried. You have so much more time to devote to the kingdom of God when you don't have a spouse and children to worry about. You are less tied down to this world in general. And honestly, God is not male or female and neither are the angels. When we are resurrected there will be no more marriage or sex. Maybe there won't even be gender either?
      Matt. 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.
      Isaiah 56:4 For thus says the Lord,
      “To the eunuchs who keep My sabbaths,
      And choose what pleases Me,
      And hold fast My covenant,
      5 To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial,
      And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
      I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.
      Matt. 19:10 The disciples *said to Him, “If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry.”11 But He said to them, “Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother’s womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it.”
      I also believe contrary to popular conservative christian rhetoric that people are born with homosexual attractions. It is not always a learned trait. But we are all born with a corrupted flesh that wants to sin in some sort of way. No one ever taught me how to lie. I was born a liar, but I had to be born again.
      John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.”
      When people hear that something is wrong with them and that they can't do whatever pleases them, it is offensive and they usually don't accept this. They take it as an attack on who they are as a person instead of repenting and realizing their own brokenness.
      John 3:19 This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.
      I truly feel for those who are born intersex. I can't even imagine how difficult it would be to be uncertain about your sex or gender. But thankfully this is a temporary issue in light of eternity. Those who are in Christ will one day be made whole physically and spiritually and there will be no more suffering, confusion, or pain.

      See NIMH abstract...
      Anne Fausto-Sterling s suggestion that the prevalence of intersex might be as high as 1.7% has attracted wide attention in both the scholarly press and the popular media. Many reviewers are not aware that this figure includes conditions which most clinicians do not recognize as intersex, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Turner syndrome, and late-onset adrenal hyperplasia. If the term intersex is to retain any meaning, the term should be restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female. Applying this more precise definition, the true prevalence of intersex is seen to be about 0.018%, almost 100 times lower than Fausto-Sterling s estimate of 1.7%.

    Why let someone else decide what a child will be. Let the child grow up and the adult hermaphrodite decide for themselves to either live their life as a man or as a woman as they so choose. They live as a man or as a woman one or the other but, not as both. Hermaphroditism has been around since long before Christ. The apostle Paul spokeof them. It is just that they had to live hidden away in secret because they were so terribly persecuted. I had a 14 year old ancestor who was burned at the stake by the local church , accused of being a demon. She/he was burned at the stake after being discovered by midwives in child birth. Paul said"As for those who are born both man and as a woman are innocent, for they were born that way. It is right after he says homosexuality is an abomination. Most people over look this verse because they don't understand it. For a doctor to decide a baby , as one of these, to decide they childs sexual preference is absolutely criminal!Most of the time the get it wrong and the child suffers their entire life because of someone else's "God" complex!

Horrible idea bruh!!!Not very Christian like either. How cruel, insensitive, and downright irresponsible for you or anyone else to be handling this particular situation.

If our world has “fallen” as you say it has…. it truly is on account of those proclaiming the word of God over these kinds of sensitive matters.

      How do biblical ethics apply to hermaphrodites?
      By Hank Hanegraaff
      The term hermaphrodite is derived from joining the name of the Greek god Hermes with the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Today hermaphroditism is appropriately referred to as “intersex” or as a “disorder of sex development” (DSD). Regardless of the term used, confusion about how to respond to this disorder reigns.
      First, intersex refers to the rare condition of individuals who are born with both male and female reproductive organs and sex glands and, in even rarer cases, both XX and XY chromosomes. The medical treatment for this disorder involves the surgical and hormonal “assignment” of gender, which ideally should be made on the basis of all the relevant factors (e.g., chromosomal, neural, psychological, behavioral, and the like). If there is reasonable certainty that a medical mistake was made in the assignment of gender, it would not be beyond biblical bounds to prayerfully consider reassignment. As with the treatment of any rare disorder, gender assignment is complex and subject to human error; thus, it is crucial to seek the most competent biblical and medical counsel.
      Furthermore, being born with genetic, psychological, or hormonal abnormalities is no more license for sexual sin than being born with violent tendencies is license for violence. Thus, if a same-sex attraction develops, celibacy and singleness-as opposed to homosexual licentiousness-is the proper response (cf. 1 Corinthians 7:8). Indeed, anyone suffering from gender confusion should not pursue marriage until the confusion has been biblically resolved. Though this may seem harsh, it is no different from the requirement placed on all believers to die to sin and live for righteousness through the power of Christ and the help of the Holy Spirit (Romans 6).
      Finally, it is crucial to recognize that all disorders, diseases, deformities, decay, and death ultimately result from the fall. While sin, suffering, and sickness are present realities, we have the certain promise that “in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28).
      Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, “Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?”
      Jesus answered, “Neither this man nor his parents sinned, but that the works of God should be revealed in him.”
      John 9:1-3 NKJV

    Basically he just contradicted himself. The guy in question was wrongly raised by his parents as male despite being intersexed and feeling female. So if a correction cannot take place, until an adult you need a gender change as an adult. And if he thinks intersexed people are new he is a fool. A genetic trait , and that it what we are talking about does not just randomly start happening. Every ancient religion apart from abrahamic ones acknowledges genetic and gender diversity. Not once did he say treat such people with compassion which I think is what Jesus would have done.

    Nice try. The Bible says God made us male or female.
    God, however, nowhere in the Bible, says how many limbs he made us with at birth. God never said that we would all be able to see or hear at birth.
    God never said we would be perfect at birth with no defects.
    God, however, did say that we are created male or female.
    So your arguments are not biblically supported.
    At best, you are going outside of the Bible to try and explain something the Bible never addressed, and then try to make it all look biblical.
    God makes no mistakes. If a person is intersex. God made them that way.
    I find it funny that being intersex is seen as a mutation to some, but otherwise ok, but being born gay is not.

      @DigitallySaved Not certain on how you can come to that conclusion. Nothing suggest that God created a third, fourth, or more sexual genders beyond male and female. So the intersex issue is not that God has purposed another gender. Gender ambiguity does occur, but genders can be determined.

    It's not very rare at all and it is not due to sin!!!!!

      @kelleyturner6584 No evidence for intersex being common.

    What about Genesis saying God made them male and female in the image of God He made them? Yes it’s result of sin nature to have maladies. This is very rare condition so why bring it up in discussion on transgender pronouns? It’s is because they are assigning gender?

      @Tiffany Steen - Glad you asked.
      Often the socio-political debate on enforcing “pronouns,” with respect to transgender and the struggle with gender dysphoria, the issue of those born intersex. Whether genital ambiguity, chromosomal anomalies (XXX, XXY, etc.), and so forth, is brought to the discussion table, as if the phenomenon can lend credence to the controversial story of gender fluidity. Not convincing evidence for gender fluidity but something that is raised in the pronoun debate.
