Sunday Devotional: God Made Them Male and Female

By Eowyn @DrEowyn

Not male and male;  not female and female.

Genesis 2:18, 21-24

The LORD God said:
“It is not good for the man to be alone.
I will make a suitable partner for him.” …
So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man,
and while he was asleep,
he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh.
The LORD God then built up into a woman
the rib that he had taken from the man.
When he brought her to the man, the man said:
“This one, at last, is bone of my bones
and flesh of my flesh;
this one shall be called ‘woman,’
for out of ‘her man’ this one has been taken.”
That is why a man leaves his father and mother
and clings to his wife,
and the two of them become one flesh.

Mark 10: 5-9

But Jesus told them,
“Because of the hardness of your hearts
He wrote you this commandment.
But from the beginning of creation,
God made them male and female.
For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother
and be joined to his wife,
and the two shall become one flesh.
So they are no longer two but one flesh.
Therefore what God has joined together,
no human being must separate.”

So why is it that:

  1. The Vatican is downplaying Pope Francis’ meeting on September 22, 2015, with anti-homosexual marriage Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis, insisting that “The Pope did not enter into the details of the situation of Mrs. Davis, and his meeting with her should not be considered a form of support of her position in all of its particular and complex aspects.”
  2. But the day before, Pope Francis held a private meeting with open homosexual Yayo Grassi and his “partner,” Iwan Bagus. A video of the meeting shows Grassi and Francis greeting each other with a warm hug. Francis, under his real name Jorge Bergoglio, was Grassi’s former teacher at Inmaculada Concepcion, a Catholic high school in Sante Fe, Argentina, from 1964-1965.

Grassi said the Pope has long known that he is gay, but has never condemned his sexuality or his same-sex relationship. Grassi said he and his partner had previously met Francis in Rome. “He has never been judgmental,” Grassi said. “He has never said anything negative.”

Grassi said he wants to publicize the Sept. 21 meeting “to show the truth of who Pope Francis is.” (Source)

To sign an international petition asking the Catholic Church’s College of Cardinals to investigate whether the election of Jorge Bergoglio as pope was in violation of Papal Law No. 81, and whether Bergoglio is a heretical pope, click here.

May the peace and love of Jesus Christ our Lord be with you,
