Are hermaphrodites lost? (homosexuals, creation, hell, sin, sex)

[Popeyesays]

Here's a better nomenclature from Intersex conditions | Intersex Society of North America which Gnomon provided above.


"The following is a list of disorders of sex development that sometimes involve intersex anatomy.

• How do I know if I have an intersex condition?
• 5-alpha reductase deficiency
• Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS)
• Aphallia
• Clitoromegaly (large clitoris)
• Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (CAH)
• gonadal dysgenesis (partial & complete)
• hypospadias
• I have a line along the underside of my penis
• Klinefelter Syndrome
• micropenis
• mosaicism involving "sex" chromosomes
• MRKH (Mullerian agenesis; vaginal agenesis; congenital absence of vagina)
• ovo-testes (formerly called "true hermaphroditism")
• Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (PAIS)
• Progestin Induced Virilization
• Swyer Syndrome
• Turner Syndrome

This first assumes that homosexual acts are "sinful" for whatever religion you are assuming. I don't think sexual proclivities(besides obvious molestation etc.) are morally right or wrong.

Adam and Eve did not know that eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil was a sin, because it would require awareness of the difference between good and evil to know something is wrong, thus sinful.

But, God told Adam and Eve not to eat the fruit did he not?
If an child is born intersexed and is closer to a genetic male than female, yet the parents have everything surgically made to be female, and as the years pass this child is unaware of the intersexed condition she was born with, and has sex with men. Since she unaware of her own condition, as are her partners, would God still hold them guilty of homosexual intercourse?

That is what they taught at the church I grew up in, which led me at the age of about 9 or 10 to wonder . . . if I can't go to Hell for sinning when I don't know what I am doing is a sin, then WHY DID YOU EVER TELL ME ABOUT THIS CRAP AND GIVE ME THE CHANCE TO GO TO HELL?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Frankly I have never had a good answer to that question. If a person who has never heard the word gets an automatic trip to Heaven, and a person who knows better, but (depending on your church) either doesn't get saved to begin with, or, even more frightening (and what I was taught) gets "saved" but dies with an unconfessed sin on his heart, goes to Hell; then why ever teach anybody about "the word?"

Oh, and hermaphrodites are screwed from the word "go" by the way from the perspective of the teachings I grew up with. If you are gay, then you go to hell, simple as that. And if you have both sex organs, then you cannot be attracted to either males or females, as you are being gay with either one, so you go to hell. Sorry bout your luck, hermie, you get to go to hell, and roast and burn in a lake of fire that will burn off all your skin, burn up your bones, but which some how will not destroy you, as, and this is where it gets fun, you are constantly being burned and suffering for all of eternity!!! Fun stuff.

Of course, you could just remain a virgin all your life, become a monk, or something of the like, then you have a chance I suppose.

And, lest we forget, that we are all lower than whale dung, me assured that God had a very good reason for cursing you with your affliction, and eventual time in Hell. He must, He always has a good reason for the things he does, cause He has a perfect plan for every one of us, even if you don't see the perfection of that plan.

Remember that the next time you catch shingles, or stub a toe, or get run over by a bus, it is all part of a perfect plan. Comforting, huh?

The question is does a hermaphrodite go to hell due to sexual immorality. I think this concept has been brought up in several different manners but the answer remains the same. Without salvation from ANY sin (lying, stealing, idolatry, sexual immorality,...) one goes to hell. It is through the saving grace of Christ's death that sin is washed away. So to answer your question does the hermaphrodite do to hell, not if they have found Christ!

But that doesn't answer the question. The question did include a part of "sexual immorality."

According to fundamentalist teaching, the hermaphradite (like the transgendered, gay, lesbian, and bisexual) is in a lost state or condition. They would not be having to react according to their nature in the 'right' situations in order to be heading to Gehenna. Just like a married man having lust in his heart when he looks at a woman, he commits adultery, so to the hermaphradite is condemned for being in this state. So this teaching goes.
