These deviations from the divine standard of Adam and Eve, are sometimes the results of demonic activity and only the saving, healing and deliverance power of the LORD Jesus can be the remedy. However being afflicted does not entirely mean you are condemned to hell or promised heaven. What determines your salvation is belief in the LORD Jesus and His sacrifice on the cross.
I agree with you absolutely

The problem of Transgenders on the other hand isn't biological but psychological. Unfortunately, society encourages them to chase shadows by changing their bodies through surgery and using hormone blockers when all they need is therapy with psychologists or psychiatrists.
I agree with you.

[quote author= post=107209027]From a biblical perspective, the answer is “no.” Despite the fact that a tiny fraction of the population faces life with an intersex condition, Scripture teaches that humans are made in God’s image as male and female, and that there’s a complementarity of the sexes that uniquely brings forth new life and – mysteriously – reflects who God is (Gen. 1:27). Clearly, gender and sexuality matter to God.

Yet, we humans live in a fallen state – and in a fallen world – which impacts us spiritually, emotionally, mentally and even physically. Indeed, there are a number of genetic, biological and congenital conditions that manifest themselves in ways that preclude certain activities and plague our physical existence.
But we know that God is good and He intends to show Himself strong in our weaknesses. Moreover, His mercies are new every morning (Lam. 3:23) and He promises us the ongoing and sufficient grace we need (2 Cor. 12:9) in order to walk in ways that bring Him glory and more fully reveal Himself to a broken and dying world.

So how should we, as Christians, minister to those among us who deal with the unique and often traumatic circumstances associated with intersexuality?
Some intersex individuals will marry, and some may never discover their underlying condition. But Jesus’ own words, as recorded in Matthew 19, should serve as our guide for those who cannot or don’t marry due to intersex issues.

Recall that in this passage Jesus is discussing eunuchs who were “born” that way, “made that way” by men, or have “renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven.” While the context of this statement by Jesus is clearly centered on the questions of divorce, marriage, and God’s created intent for human sexual expression, it’s comforting to note that Jesus frames both the beginning and end of his comments here with an acknowledgment that not all can accept this word – indicating deep compassion on His part with those who find themselves in circumstances whereby they are unable to enter into the “one-flesh union” of marriage, whether by design, mutilation or personal decision. Moreover, Jesus indicates that this calling is given to only a few – implying that abundant grace is afforded to those who, for whatever reason, are to bear what Paul refers to as the gift of singleness (1 Cor. 7).

Culled[/quote]So, are you saying because they were naturally born th a t way, they can't become a Christian and can't make heaven?

paxonel:
The bible never mentioned anything about intersex individuals or any kind of mutants resulting from inbreeding depression or loss of hybrid vigor. Although we heard cases in the bible where angels came down from heaven to have canal knowledge(mate) with humans, as a result there was proliferation of unusual people such as giants who started committing havac to the creation, many of them were wiped out by the great flood of Noah generation.

But we still see unusual traits today like people having four fingernails instead of five, one hand or eye balls bigger in size than the other and even intersex you mentioned, non of these traits were ever mentioned significantly in the bible, only giants were mentioned.

Talking about whether people having these unusual traits like intersex can be Christians or will make heaven?

John 3:16 ...whosoever believes in him..

Mark the word WHOSOEVER.
That means there are no distinction in traits or characters
No distinction in race, tribe or culture or whatever.
Good point

Christianity Etc › What Does The Bible Say About Intersex? by istina(op): 6:16am On Oct 31, 2021
What does the bible really say about INTERSEX? By this I do not mean TRANSGENDERS who are entirely different set of people . Socrates said ‘the beginning of wisdom is definition of terms’, so for clarity purpose I think it’s best we define both terms.

TRANSGENDER: Someone appearing as, wishing to be considered as, or having undergone surgery to become a member of the opposite sex.
In a nutshell, a Transgender is someone who wishes to be considered as a member of the opposite sex.

INTERSEX: An organism possessing several sex characteristics of both male and female such as chromosomes, gonads, sex hormones or genitals. It is a situation whereby a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn’t fit the boxes of ‘female’ or ‘male’. Think of someone with all the female physical appearance but has a penis instead of a vaginal.

One of the major differences between the two classes of people is that while INTERSEX is natural, TRANSGENDER is unnatural.

Having known the difference , the question now is what does the bible say concerning those who were naturally born as INTERSEX . Can they be Christians? Can they make heaven?

Career › My Encounter With A Teacher Turned Bricklayer by istina(op): 8:52am On Oct 21, 2021
I used to think there is no basis for comparing a Teacher with a Bricklayer but a recent event change my line of thinking.

I went to visit a friend at a construction site around Meiran in Lagos two days ago, and almost immediately I got there I noticed that one of the Bricklayers working there was being called TEACHER by his co-workers. I wondered what would make his colleagues be calling him Teacher, could it be that he is so good that he even trains his colleagues on the job?

So, I inquired about him from one of his colleagues why they refer to him as TEACHER, the man replied that he is actually a school Teacher. Not satisfied, I went to TEACHER himself to hear from the horse’s mouth. The man who appears to me as a man in his mid-40’s told ne his name is ADIO; he said he is actually a trained Teacher and had taught in several schools before deciding to leave the Teaching profession for Bricklaying.

When I asked him why he left Teaching he said

‘things are hard in this country and the mingy, chintzy, niggard school owners make things harder for their workers with the way they treat them thereby; making it difficult for someone like me to feed myself and family. Even the peanuts, meagre pellet which they are expected to pay at the end of the month, the avaricious, penurious and tight-fisted proprietors find it difficult to part with them. It is either they are short-paying or under-paying or not paying. By the end of the month you as an ‘educated pauper’ are actually living from hands to mouth like a blind shrew

I asked him why Bricklaying of all jobs,
‘I taught professionally as a school Teacher with both my NCE and Degree Certificates for over 20 years yet I have nothing to show for it but since almost 3 years now that I’ve fully embrace Bricklaying things have been more than better. God has been too faithful to me and by His Grace by December I will be moving into my own cosy and comfy house at Atan in Ogun State. What I couldn’t achieve for more than 20 years as a Teacher I’ve been able to do so in less than 3 years as a Mason. If reincarnation is true then, in my next life I would choose Bricklaying over Teaching over and over again.’ ADIO said.
