“God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27
Someday, my soul will go to heaven, but my body will remain, being properly lowered into the earth where all but the bones will decompose over time.
Generations will come and go and over time, no one on earth will even remember that I existed. Perhaps someday, an archaeologist will dig up the cemetery and find my bones. They will find nothing to identify me, but one thing they will find is that my bones have male DNA. Beside me will be my wife and her bones will reveal female DNA.
Male and female….. there is no other!
The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him. So the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept; then He took one of his ribs and closed up the flesh at that place. The Lord God fashioned into a woman the rib which He had taken from the man, and brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh. Genesis 2:20-24
In this day and time, where “gender identity” is in vogue, advocates of such thoughts should consult the Bible. People can’t select their gender. The God who created them selected their gender for them.
If a body is left out in the sun and rain, its DNA will be useful for testing for only a few weeks. If it’s buried a few feet below the ground, the DNA will last about 1,000 to 10,000 years. And when the DNA is analyzed, gender will be identified as either male or female. There are no others.
Remember that no matter what modern society tells us …. Male and female…. There are no others!!
