Do you accept Jesus, the man?

@hippyjoe1955 Well yeah in real life. Assuming he even existed, which I believe he did.

In universe Christian mythology maintains that he had only one human parent, his other parent being an entity that is so far "above" us as to have no gender at all.

@hippyjoe1955 your tongue is sharp but it cannot whittle

@SparkleLeaf Not trying to whittle. Just repeating what the Bible says. Jesus was circumcised on the 8th day.

@hippyjoe1955 Sometimes genetic females are born with penises

@SparkleLeaf Sometimes the Truth is simply the Truth and we don't need silly explanations. Had Jesus been born a hermaphrodite I am certain it would have been recorded. He was seen naked multiple times by His disciples.

@hippyjoe1955 We are talking about two different kinds of intersex here. It may not be logical, but "hermaphrodite" is now considered a derogatory term when talking about a person with the form of intersex called Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia, or CAH. Also sometimes a person with CAH will have the genetics of one sex but the "equipment" of another, with no readily apparent physical characteristics to indicate there is anything out of the ordinary. I made a mistake with the Google AI image I posted, as it is incomplete and perhaps misleading. A person can have XX chromosomes and a penis only. I don't really think Yeshuah was one of those. But if one proceeds from the assumption that he was the product of just one human parent, his mother, that could explain why he looked like a "he."

The truth is simply the truth: Legends grew around the first-century founder of a doomsday cult. A big part of that was misapplying Hebrew scripture to make it appear he was the fulfillment of prophecy. Part of that was a misunderstanding of the words Isaiah had written about a young woman naming her son Immanuel within Isaiah's lifetime. The concept of the Son of Man, or messiah, wouldn't be introduced until much later by the prophet Daniel.

The original post was just a silly meme intended to make people think about intersex people and maybe have a chuckle at the idea of inserting that idea into Christian mythology. We are both overthinking it.
