Handle a hermaphrodite
Monday, January 23rd, 2006How does Judeo-Christian philosophy handle hermaphrodites?
I began wondering this after watching an insightful video where Bruno (Ali G) interviews a Pastor Quinn — gay converter.
If a hermaphrodite’s physical "deformity" allows them to choose a sexual persuasion, why can’t a person with a mental "deformity" choose their own sexual persuasion?
And I call it a "deformity" based upon the Christian Apologetics &
Research Ministry view that a hermaphrodite’s two-unit setup is caused by the evil of Man and then First Corinthian 6 saying that an effeminate lifestyle is sinful.
If Man is made in God’s image, and God can be both a man and a woman, then wouldn’t a hermaphrodite be a closer representation of God?
If we are to love the sinner and hate the sin, then shouldn’t we embrace hermaphrodites rather than ostracizing them for their ambiguity?
What is your opinion?
