Androgynous: having the characteristics of both male and female; suitable for either sex.
“So God created man in His own image… male and female He created them” (Genesis 1:27).
Distinction: Man/woman – male/female
“Then the rib which the LORD GOD had taken from the man, He made into a woman…” (Genesis 2:22).
Distinction: man/woman – male/female
“Therefore a man will leave his father and his mother and be joined (in a covenant marriage) to his wife, and they will become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).
Distinction: One man for one woman, one male for one female.
The LORD GOD not only created 2 distinct sexes but performed the first one man-one woman marriage.
As God provided plants with seeds (1:11, 12 of Genesis), so, He provided the human creation with distinct sexuality to reproduce: “… God said to them, ‘Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth…” (Genesis1:28). (He also gave the animal life of male/female sexuality to be fruitful, Genesis 1:21-25).
There is NO confusion recorded about the creation of man/male – woman/female. One cannot read “transgender” into the text. We’ve taken this androgynous thing too far. The Hebrew words “ishshah = “woman” “wife” and “ish: “man,” husband” is clear. The “one flesh” = the covenant of marriage established kinship bonds of the first rank between the pair/partners. The word “partner” has now become to mean a lesbian/male homosexual union or marriage. This is NOT natural, holy or ordained by God. So why is the world doing it? (See my many dozens of articles, from 5 pages to 80 pages each).
Although perversion has been in the world for centuries, until the 60’s revolution here in the USA, this nation recognized the distinction between the man and a woman, between a non-perverted marriage and a perverted marriage. We celebrated the difference between the sexes, marriage was honorable, holding out hope of an eventual ecstatic union = 2 hears beating as ONE! Together (with baby makes 3), they made up the private world of the family in which all needs for intimacy were to be satisfied.
As I said, it was the 1960’s revolution that really changed all this. Sure there were “love affairs” going on between the same sex but they had not COME OUT! Now we see the hidden come to light, my opinion doesn’t matter; what does the Bible say about it? It is wrong!
Then, a rather new sexual myth began to inform American society – the unisex” myth. Fueled by the movement of women from the home into the market place, the Biblical (but “repressive,” as it was called) definitions of gender crumbled. Birth control pill were introduced (abortions were eventually legalized). Eventually the LGBTQ movement was in full swing. A new sexuality for a new America. A host of psychologists and social theorists got on board the free-sex train denouncing “God’s plan for man.” The political counterparts got involved (the church was still dragging its feet, too timid to take and make a Biblical stand!). Unisex haircuts came along and boutiques became the rage of the age. Eventually the sexes took on new meanings.
So, with enough behavioral rewards and reinforcements, and political system committed to full equality, we could condition men/women to be indistinguishable (except for the obvious biological equipment, which later was altered by surgery! Which has no deep psychological or characterological significance).
The hippie men grew long hair, grew “softer,” even effeminate. It took longer for the women to take on the “manish” look, but that did come.
Some psychologists believe that the unisex myth was manifesting Carl Jung’s belief in the androgyny of men and women. They tell us that, in Jung’s analysis, to become whole, men must discover their feminine side, i.e. their “anima” (soul). To become whole, women must explore their “animus” (worldly/aggressive side). The woman plunges into the rejected masculine fierceness/aggression necessary for her to act/react effectively in a man’s world. We see this now in the movies especially – women tough, determined to whip the ass of the men. She can fight, shout, do daring stunts as good – even better than her opposite. Straight or gay, both male/female have crossed the border of “masculine” and “feminine.” Who is pushing all this perversion today? Do a bit of research and find out.
“Parting (hash-tagging) labels – “masculine,” “feminine” – on the feeling of modes of perception and action is like trying to make people goosestep in military fashion,” as one psychologist explained.
One thing remains outside their control – men can’t have babies – yet!
I know that I am a man/male, my visibility is inseparable from my gender.
We live in a confused time. But we don’t have to be confused. Read the Book of Life, it has laid out the answers of life for us. The problem being, we don’t always like what it has to say.
The false mystification of the mas./fem. needs to be addressed. Literally some are so confused about all this that they end their lives. Read the stats on it.
The idea – God thought of it first – of “fathering” and “mothering” is under attack. The pronouns he/she are under attack. Who and what is behind this “Political Correct” woke attack? The noun “eras” is nearly disappeared. But it will never really disappear. I believe, someday, people will grow tired of all this psychological BS and want to be normal once again. Away with Tommy has two mothers or two fathers. This is perversion. Kids need a mother and a father. Men/women (in marriage) share mutual satisfaction of sensory needs – emotional, personal, spiritual, sexual. Love divorced from marriage only compounds things. A masculine persona and a feminine persona, each incomplete in itself, come together in love – for better (but not worse), richer (but not poorer), and in health (but not sickness)… each may explore their god-given wholeness with each other. We, as a nation that was built upon the Bible, must get back to the authentic creation of genders. Beneath the great satanic facade of politically correct/socially constructed “sexuality,” lies an ocean of pain and despair. Are we more happy with the switching of genders? I like what one straight social worker once said (once took psychology classes): “God did not create persons, – chair persons, mail persons, or spoke persons – only men and women.” Peel away all the politically correct woke BS of the social conditioning and there, in plain sight, remains the truth of sexes, male/female. We need to STOP listening to all the experts, e.g. anthropologists, sociologists and psychologists, etc., and get back to the Bible. Biological engineering (sex-change) does not “liberate” one from his/her sex. Hacking off a penis does not change who you are.
In short, there is a way for men/women to come together that does not depend on “correct” explanations, a language in which we celebrate the communion/commitment of opposites – in soul/spirit love and sex. The sacred and the sexual really do shatter the man-made categories of one’s understanding.
I look at my marriage as a lifelong romance, and it has been (47 + years now). Some see it as a relationship of trust that is steeped in the primal ambivalence of love and hate. I don’t see it this way.
