SEX, GENDER & LIFE
MIND V BODY
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 22, 2023

In this series we hope to answer three basic questions biblically -

1. Is sex limited to male/female marriages?
2. Is gender defined by our biology?
3. Who is eligible for human rights?

Genesis 1:26-27

The creation of man and woman comes at the end of a list of the creation of complementary forces:

- Light/Darkness
- Waters above/waters below
- Land/Sea
- Day/Night
- Man/Woman

This pattern shows us how we should interpret the creation of man and woman: Two opposite but not opposing parts that create a pattern that leads to life.

“We must be able to separate politics from people.” - Studies show that most people who struggle with gender dysphoria do not desire a genderless society but simply resolution to the incongruence they feel between their mind and body.

Christians should seek and encourage others to seek congruence with our physical sex for three reasons:

1. It’s not just the brain. Every cell in the body is sexed

2. There is more diversity when our bodies and not our attitudes, feelings, and desires define us as male or female.

3. The Scripture supports gender being defined by sex.

Romans 12:1-2
