We had dinner last night with an older couple - saints who are friends of ours - who have had their share of physical maladies. The sister has had cancer like three times over the past 20 years (she's all good now). She was discussing how she did a gene study and discovered that one little letter in a certain gene was wrong, and this makes someone predisposed to certain types of cancer. It's amazing to me that out of all the billions of "lines of code" in our DNA, that just one little tiny thing out of place causes big issues.
So, we fallen beings, all have these little things out of place that causes things to go sideways. This is why well all need to be renewed. He loves us, sent Christ to heal us, and through Him the new creation will be fully manifest with none of these issues. Hallelujah!  |
Hi Sons of Glory, you’ve matured a lot since the last time we spoke. I’m glad the couple you spoke of is in good health right now. I realize that over the last three years, I have also been doing some studies, both sociological and biological about what makes sexuality and gender so diverse in human beings. In fact, there are higher percentages of bisexuality in women than men and gay men know their sexuality at pre teen or puberty whereas on average, lesbians and bisexual women have more fluid sexuality throughout their lives and find out later on, usually in late teens or twenties to even thirties. There’s been studies showing that several alterations in genes can determine a person’s disposition to male or female attraction. And of course there is are studies where they put trans people’s brains under MRI scans and the parts that light up are more similar to that of which gender they feel, not of the sex organs they were born with. And there are toddlers, like three years old who feel they ate in the wrong body/assigned the wrong gender, insisting that they want to wear certain gendered clothing and say they are a “boy” or a “girl”, the first chance they have conception of gender. No one gave them the idea, but yet they know. Then there’s other studies that show that the amount of estrogen in a mother’s body during pregnancy can lead to gender identity in babies whether they’ve already developed male or female or intersex genitalia. Then there’s another study that reveals that in people who identify as intersex and the doctor and/or parents decide to cut off the penis or keep the penis, the brain still produces variant amounts of testosterone that can lead, say an intersex person whose family decides for them to remove the penis, to later find out they identify more as a male while growing up. It’s all very fascinating. And what makes heterosexuals attracted to the opposite sex and why are people always looking for a “gay gene” when they can’t even find a “hetero” gene, there’s so many factors and its mindboggling to even comprehend. We are all made in the image of God and so there is redemption for all of us.
