Would it be a sin for a hermaphrodite to marry a christian? Would you let one join YOUR church?

Please explain using scripture if you can. Shouldn't be any problem since the bible covers every moral dilemma in absolutes, and has the answer for any moral question.

I love your avatar that rocks!
Well I think God loves you and being a hermaphrodite wouldn't cause God not to love you. God loves everyone.
You can come to church with me. We go too Bojangles or the Fish camp afterwards and we eat.

One cannot be born commiting a sin. You can't help what you were born with, any more than one can help being born with a disease, like cancer, or autism. A hermaphrodite has to decide which sex he or she is going to live like, and he or she has to find someone to accept him or her, and I think that if he or she can accomplish that much, then God Bless 'em!! As far as joining a church, I personally don't have any control over who joins, and besides, a person's gender and/or preference really don't have anything to do with their ability to love God and worship Him.

A hermaphrodite is a person who has natural organs from both sexes. There is nothing wrong or sinful in being born in that condition.
It would not be a sin to marry a Christian.
Joining my church is about your relationship with Jesus and nothing more.

Historically, a hermaphrodite was viewed by the church as the pinnacle of creation, the closest to perfection attainable in the human form.
Because men are not complete. Adam had parts removed to make Eve.
A hermaphrodite is neither gender - therefor closer to Adam, the original human, and closest to what we are supposed to be.
How this goes in the modern church, I do not know, but as it was, to marry a hermaphrodite was a blessing, and to have one in your church was likewise blessed.
since you seem to have taken an interest in this one: I was reffering to europe (actually, specifically england) durin the middle ages. Seeing if I can find information for you on it's modern status.
It looks to bne, on google, that most palces don't care as long as you pick a gender and stick to it. whcih is unfortunate, but ahhwell.

the Bible says for Christians to marry Christians. Are you a Christian hermaphrodite? Also WE don't have a church for you to join, the church is the body of Christ. It is open to whomsoever will..... God bless you in your life. don't forget our souls are not our outer man.

How could a genetic physical condition be considered a sin? God created all of us in His image. Sin is not the physical makeup of a person, sin is the result of thoughts and deeds, choosing to turn ones back on the will of God.
To be hurtful, deceitful, unloving and uncaring towards other children of God is the basis of sin.

Sin in an act, a thought, a word or even an attitude. How you were born isn't any of those. We're commanded not to sin. God wouldn't command us to do something that couldn't be controlled.

hey hun...Psalms 139:15-16 My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, when as yet there was none of them...these scriptures state that God knew every thing about us before we were ever concieved (when i was made in secret) and knew exactly what we would look like (in thy book all my members were written when as yet there was none of them) i don't know why any one would be born with both male and female parts but what i do know is that humans are Gods creation....and i know that you can be saved no matter what your race or gender if you believe in God...i hope this scripture helps...love daisy

Its not a sin to be one. If they are really one (only 1% of the population is one). And they have both rogans they can choose (parents and docs usually choose and they can live that life how they want.

No! It is simply a random occurence that happens in nature. You can marry anyone that you want . Yes . They could join my church.
