Gen 5:2 He created them male and female and blessed them. And he named them "Mankind" when they were created.
Nothing ambiguous about how they were created now.. is there. According to this seems God has a purpose in why he did.
So you are saying there is no such thing as intersex people? Or if so, how do they exist? Satanic manipulation?
I haven't read her book yet, but it is on my list to read at some point:
Sex Difference in Christian Theology
I would grant you there is an occasional physical abnormality when it come to the rare hermaphroditism. But normal people born with true functioning organs, I would say no. They are people who are living in sin trying to be something that they were not created to be. They're are no mistakes in Gods creation, and even in the rare case of hermaphroditism, it is still God's will and purpose that they were born that way.
I would say thy the homosexual was born with a certain proclivity towards sexual sins. But that is part of the fallen nature of man. I would say an that any man or woman claim they are identified as the opposite sex is living in sin and in need of a savior.
Yet much of a person's sexuality is INSIDE the body, in genetic form as well as sometimes physiological. By no means has researched concluded exactly what identifying markers are, I choose to give one the benefit of the doubt who believes he/she is of the opposite sex "on the inside". I have no idea of his/her biological genetic makeup.
What you claim as "fallen nature", I see as biological. Is biological abnormalities always a result of one's fallen nature? Hardly. "Who has sinned, this man or his father?" That was a perfect time for Jesus to reiterate man's fallen nature, sickness and disease came through Adam's sin and a curse, but strangely, He didn't. Why? Maybe because that theological line of thinking isn't really of God. Rather than preach about "fallen man", He said, " This happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him."
How does that look in a transvestite? Not sure, but I will give one the benefit of my doubt.
