Where do Intersexuals fit in the Bible? This has always fascinated me. Can they marry? Are they considered abominations? Does the Bible consider them male, female, some third gender?

This is a strange topic indeed but I'd like to see a serious inquiry into how the Bible treats those who are born Intersexuals.

I'm in the same boat as you. LOL. *Scratches Head*

They get 72 virgins. Half male, half female.

PS some interpreters say Adam was initially a hermaphrodite, because he did, after all, have a female rib.

Religious Tolerance has a page on intersexuals. Scroll down to "Religious Attacks on Intersexuals"

Conservative Christians deny that there could be such a thing as intersexuals. Chuch Colson attributes intersexuality to the corruption that came into the world after the Fall, so that medical prodecures can be used to correct a medical problem.

Intersexuals are not scriptural. The only place they'd be in the bible is behind it as a literalist holds it to their eyes to block their view of them.

I thought Adame was a hermaphrodite until his extra X chromosome, I mean rib, was removed?

XXY are nearly always phenotypically male.

No your thinking of Mary, Jebus's momma.

THat's way too technical for a bronze-age myth.
Adam was a man, to whom god offered a number of animals as partners, but he was uninterested even in the sheep.
God used Adam's flesh to make Woman, thus making Woman a clone and Adam her mother.
