He provides everything that we need to live our lives peaceful, live our lives happy and content. And since God already told us in the verses that we’ve already read previously, God created male and female. God created us for good, and His words determine, of course, what is good and what is not good.
Here is what I have figured out: God made humanity for good, but we humans go out and scheme our way into trouble.īrother Bob: Clearly the fault then, dear friends, it’s not with the Creator. And we turn to Ecclesiastes 7:29, let’s read together here what is God’s response about that: Dear friends, how can one be created in His image, His image of holiness, if in fact they are tempted to represent themselves in a way they know to be different from what and how God created them to be? Or to say it even simpler, they might think “If God created me and I’m like this, it must be okay with God.” Let’s let God respond. There may be those who feel confused as to where they fit on that gender spectrum that was created, not by God, but created by society, and might be even blaming God for their personal confusion because they truly believe they were created in His image. Gender identity and Christianity have become, for some people, even opposing forces. But you might wonder why then are there some who have taken a very clear, very simple, very good and straight forward truth as we’ve read it here, and view it to be complex, quite complicated. Matthew 19:4 reads this way, our Lord Jesus said this:Īnd He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female, ’īrother Bob: Again, dear friends, we can clearly see the answer of the Lord Jesus Christ, since He’s actually quoting God’s very own words, showing that there’s no change, no change in the Christian era. So, have the number of genders changed or increased in this era according to the Lord Jesus Christ? Let’s go to the writings where he’s quoted here.
Some wonder and say that, well, since Christ’s teachings are full of love-and that’s true-surely He would have accepted those who claim to be of a gender not mentioned in the Old Testament. We can pose a follow up question specifically for the time or era we are all living in now: the Christian era. And, dear friends, since today, there are some that, well, they simply claim otherwise. God did not create additional genders other than those two. We’ve always been two biological sexes, manifesting in only two sexual genders. So God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him male and female He created them.īrother Bob: Here, dear friends, we can clearly see that, from the very beginning, when God created people, there was not a gender spectrum. Instead we encourage seeking biblical truth about this and every subject.īrother Bob: So, to understand of whether a gender spectrum or gender fluidity is recorded in the Bible, we first turn to the Bible and read Genesis 1:27 NKJV: And, we do not promote hatred against anyone. We also do not tolerate that any person would be oppressed or discriminated against by anyone, due to their gender identity, or sexual orientation. Now, before we start reading the answer we would like to clarify something first, and that is that we really do value and recognize the human rights of every individual.
And his words are written here in the Holy Bible. Now, to some, this might be a fairly simple question to answer: How many genders did God create? But for others, the fear of offending a whole community of people and being labeled as, well, not politically correct or even being labeled a bigot, have confused them regarding what is right and what is true, since the question is: How many genders did God create? We will simply use God’s own words to respond to that.
Welcome to the program That’s in the Bible. Those answers are most definitely here in the Holy Bible.īrother Bob: I’m Bob Pellien. But regarding proper worship, the right relationship with God and most importantly, salvation. Now, we want to always clarify that the Bible does not answer just any and all questions. The basis of our faith here in the Church Of Christ is first and foremost the Bible or the Holy Scriptures. Brother Bob Pellien: With the current climate of politicized issues prevalent on the internet, social media and even mainstream media, a number of you have reached out to us via email and are simply asking “How many genders does God recognize?” or even “How many genders did God create?” Hello, everyone.
