Tuesday Contradictions: Matthew 19:4-6 (2) – Jesus, Genesis, and Gender: Did God Create Humans Male and Female?
About this episode
Lance Smith examines Matthew 19:4-6 and Genesis creation accounts to discuss God's design of gender.
In episode 234 Lance Smith examines Matthew 19:4–6 and the Genesis creation accounts to answer whether God originally made humans male and female. He contrasts Genesis 1’s overview with Genesis 2’s detailed account, shows how Jesus uses creation as the authority on marriage and gender, and argues that the Bible presents maleness and femaleness as God’s original design. The episode also addresses contemporary cultural challenges, urges churches to hold to Scripture’s teaching, and offers compassion and hope to listeners wrestling with gender questions.
