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?

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.

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?

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.

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?

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?

No. I think that the answer to your subquestion is #1. But all people have a different path to Paradise, Heaven, Nirvana, whatever.

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.

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.

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.

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
