If your god made them physically both male and female, wouldn’t any form of sex be against the teachings of the bible?
Also, are they doomed to hell since they cannot obey god’s commandment to "be fruitful and multiply" if they’re not allowed to have sex?
Did god create hermophrites to be doomed to hell: Either have sex (with someone who shares the same gender) and mulitply, or never have sex (and thus not multiply)
Doesn’t the presence of hermaphrodites prove that either:
(1) the bible isn’t to be taken literally
OR
(2) god is a sick f*ck who created people doomed to hell, no matter what they do
duoak, that’s nice, but what about poor hermaphrodites that cannot afford the genetic testing , or those in 3rd world countries. (heck what about before testing existed!)
they wouldn’t know what they "really" are so they couldn’t have sex?

I’m picking #1…just in case.

Sounds like someone needs a nap!

Whatever works for them.

Oh are you talking about the celebrity Ciara? I’m not sure what would happen because she’s part man and part woman.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I think this is a good question. I’m not Christian and so won’t answer it, except to say that the medical community now refers to such people as "intersex."
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
They could have sex with themselves.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I must have missed that verse in the Bible. Sorry.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I was going to answer until I read your last sentence. Then, I realized that you’ve already formed your opinion, so it doesn’t really matter what I say.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
My gawd!
If you are worried about this then you have too much time on your hands.
Why not leave this to God?
No benefit will come of a question that requires needle minded people to poke and pry and study to try and come up with a satisfactory nit picking answer.
Forget about it!

A hermaphrodite has both sex organs, but every person’s DNA will either have XX (female) or XY (male). Regardless of what parts you have, if you have XX DNA, then you’re a female and if you have XY DNA, then you’re a male.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
No, its not a sin. Not everyone has to multiply or go to hell.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
A hermaphrodite,I do believe is the proper spelling. I don’t know which Bible you are reading. I have a different one I guess.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
lol everyone makes mistakes an god does just to show us that its ok and this person was just lucky enough to be able to sleep with whomever he/she cares to lucky herhim. but i think god is understanding and cares and forgives so even if it is a man/man or women/women he will forgive and take them with open arms
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
No. I think that the answer to your subquestion is #1. But all people have a different path to Paradise, Heaven, Nirvana, whatever.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I don’t think so
but riddle me this, what about Mister Bation? what would he do?
Blondie said
I love myself; I want you to love me
When I feel down; I want you above me
I search myself; I want you to find me
I forget myself; I want you to remind me
I don’t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
Ooh I don’t want anybody else Oh no, oh no, oh no
You’re the one who makes me come runnin’
You’re the sun who makes me shine
When you’re around I’m always laughin’
I want to make you mine
I close my eyes and see you before me
Think I would die if you were to ignore me
A fool could see just how much I adore you
I’d get down on my knees; I’d do anything for you
I don’t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
ahh ohh i don’t want anybody else
oh no oh on oh no yeah
I love myself; I want you to love me
When I feel down; I want you above me
I search myself; I want you to find me
I forget myself; I want you to remind me
I don’t want anybody else
When I think about you I touch myself
ahh ohh i don’t want anybody else
oh no oh no oh no
I want you
I don’t want anybody else

When I think about you I touch myself
I touch myself

go to sleep ,this question and other unanswerables will drive you crazy!!!!
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
In the vast realm of stupid questions – you have achieved a status that some would consider legendary. Keep up the good work.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
That would be sad, I think. Would the attraction and pleasure be the same for both sexes? Would they have less attraction and pleasure as we do? To me, I think it would be less intense than it is for me. I mean, I could not think of sex with a woman. I don’t have anything against it, its just that I want a man for that.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
You would have loved my MPD question from a few days ago… rofl… Does a person with MPD and one personality is atheist and the other a believer go to heaven or hell?
I guess it’s not a sin to not be fruitful and multiply… or maybe it is since acting against God’s wishes is a sin right?
Hmmm, you’re probably on to something here.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
(1) the bible isn’t to be taken literally.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
God does not doom anyone to hell.

Did you also know that an individual with XY genes can still be physically a female? During development, the mother must produce a certain level of testosterone to signal the gonads to become male sex organs. If this does not happen, they default to female. Thus, the person becomes a female in all physical sense of the word, while having XY chromosomes.
In addition, females can have masculinized genitalia, i.e. the clitoris may develop like a tiny penis. One could also only have one sex chromosome (XO) or more than two (XXX). If we cannot even clearly label our gender, how can we possibly clearly label our sexuality?
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
1) also there is something called Klineelter syndrome, where the person has XXY, not just XY or XX.
from my understanding half the genes are XX and half are XY. or something like that.
and from my understanding most Hermaphrodites are either reproductively sterile, or internally functional but neither gender being physically properly functional.
that it requires surgery to make either even minimally functional… but I could be wrong.
one problem with christianity I think is that it doesn’t consider for rational modernization and inteperetation within certain degrees of reason and understanding.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
I’d say 1 but I see those who WANT to believe will find a way to ignore reality
BTW, Resource…I had always thought the song was by ‘The Divinyl’s’. Did Blondie write it?
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
The obsession with sexual sin…. It’s the obsession that’s so perplexing.
Another inconsistency: Sex is supposed to lead to children. But sex/marriage between infertile couples approved. Sex/marriage between gay people: anathema.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:35 am
The Divinyls-
Christina Amphlett and Mark McEntee wrote and performed I touch myself.
I don’t know who wrote I touched a hermaphrodite.
I just know masterbation leads to memory loss.
What was the question?
