Typically hermaphordites (sp) do not have fully developed sex organs for atleast one of the sets of sex organs.

Well considering that Julie from Boise had a message from Him in which she was told that she would bear His son on Earth (to be called Macaroni) I'm thinking male.\n\nBut, He is a deity after all, so why need to bother with fiddly decisions like gender?\n\nAlthough, I suppose the debate over gender could lead to the first great schism in the church?\n\nMaybe there could be a Council of Pasta-Roni?

First, it sounds like Maria doesn't have a lot of pride in herself.\n\nIs Jose and Maria married, or just shacking?  If they were just shacking, then Maria isn't dating HER nephew.\n\nThis story sounds like something out of a "True Romance" novel. Under the past circumstances, with Jose being a "loser" all the way, and the nephew being such a nice guy, I would tell Maria to dump Jose and marry the nephew OR just bail out from all the sad sack story and start a new life.  I am constantly appalled as to the fixes people get their selves into.\n\nFor her, I wish her the best of luck.   Pops

I want to know who are any of you to judge this person. I bet if we followed you'd have some issues also. The first person who posted is right. And just so you know smartass a baby is not automatically born with HIV if the mother has it.

Yup. A full blown hermaphrodite is someone born with 2 sets of genitalia. They're usually outwardly female in appearance. (there's some features on ladies that're hard to hide) There's also other genetic disorders that result in various other,....degrees  I guess is the best way to put it of dual-genderism.  Sometimes  people are born completely female but with vestigal testes which are contained internally.

the term is called a hermaphrodite they have other terms for it as well, and i don't think people are going to answer yes, that is a personal Q for them and some don't even know because there parents put them through surgery when they were born, And no I'm not one i just watch a lot of the learning channel and history channel some will only have a half of an ovary and the whole male reproductive and others have only have of the male reproductive and a whole ovary

lookin at your avatar & reading this question is far to sweet & innocent...hermaphrodites are human like you & I except hermaphrodites have both a vagina & a penis...some may tend to lean on one gender more than the other i.e.choosing to be more female than male(dress & look like female)...or the other way around.Hermaphrodites go through tough trials & tribulations in life in/out of family relationships due to having both sex organs...sometimes leaving them abused/molested as children many times by family members & what not.

The concept of a virgin birth isn't new, Dionysus, the Greek God was said to have been born of a virgin.  So was Mithras, according to many legends.  In fact, being born of a virgin was such a popular theme in the stories of various Gods, that early Christians pretty much HAD TO sell Jesus as being born of a virgin so he could compete.\n\nIn reality, I doubt it, but only Mary and Joseph would have known for sure...

It's the most likely skeptic's explanation. However, parthenogenesis does happen sporadically in higher animals, and rarity of such an event would satisfy both the scientists and the believers (who would claim it as a miracle).

I worked with a lesbian who has an identical twin. The twin has NO interest in women. The lesbian has NEVER been with a man. She swears that its a choice, not genetics. Makes sense to me.

She is a "virgin" because the historians lied to you. It is a sad day when people believe Dan Brown's "Angels and Demons" before they believe in the traditional biblic interpretations, but the former is more logical. Hope this helps!

I don't think that anyone knows, but she was probably young.  I think that the Hebrew word Alma which is used in Isaiah 7:14 means a young woman of mairrageable age.  But of course to say that she would be a young woman does not contradict the fact that she was a virgin also.  Young women in biblical times were assumed to be virgins because fornicators and adulterers were stoned to death.  Mary was both a young woman and a virgin.  Also, in Isaiah 7:14 it says that there would be a sign which means that there would be something unique about the Christ's birth(virgin birth).  Also, it says that He would be called Immanuel which means "God with us".  Jesus is literally God with us.  www.equip.org

She build the hopes and dreams of her descendants. Imagine, if she did not give Adam that fruit. The genetic structure would of entirely changed, there would be a completely differant chain of descendants. Everyone alive today has eve to thank for their existance. If it was not for her. They would have never been born. The genetic makeup would of been completely differant. OOOORAH!!

This is a mystery. All we know is that she got it during childhood but she hates talking about how it happened. I tried looking it up but all sites say the same thing... It's a secret.

Lets see he was a bastard son of Mary, roamed the desert where all the chicks covered themselves from head to toe.  And, oh yeah, he supposedly had a penis.  \n\nFrom the age 15-33 most males have the libido of a dog in heat.  Also they didn't have tighty-whities back then, so the constant movement of the genitals while walking would have kept them in mind, especially if there were some women around.\n\nI think this is a sound theory.  You should consider doing a little more research on the matter and blogging it all for us.\n\nCheers

She could be. However, a lot of controversy comes with that. When they created Mommy Barbie, she was pregnant but did not have a wedding ring on her finger.
