How Many Sexes or Genders Are There?

Genesis 1:27 says, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God, He created him; male and female he created them."

There are only two genders, or sexes if you will. Male and female. That's it. Science affirms what the Bible says—a male is born with XY chromosomes and a female with XX chromosomes. On a very rare occasion, someone may be born with, say, XXY chromosomes, but a person is considered immutably male if the Y chromosome is present.

This is basic biology. But people suppress the truth with unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). Do you know what we used to call a man who called himself a woman? A pervert. Insane. Out of his mind. Anything but a woman. Yet our depraved culture is now punishing people who agree with the laws of nature.

In Matthew 19:4, Jesus said, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female?"

Jesus is God, who Himself "became flesh and dwelt among us" (John 1:14), and He came as a man, "born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons" (Galatians 4:4), or heirs of His heavenly kingdom. God will judge those who have broken His law. Only those who believe in the Son and His word will be saved.

If you had a dollar for every gender, you would have two dollars. Everything else is counterfeit, when we understand the text.
