Powerful Gender Truth: God Designed Your Gender At Conception!
Your gender was determined at conception. Some mistakenly say that the sex of a child is “assigned” by a Medical Professional at birth and that there is no way of knowing! They believe that the child will decide for his/her self what their gender is.
When is the sex of the fetus formed?
Although fetal sex is formed from the moment the egg and sperm meet, however, it is not until the 9th week of pregnancy that the fetus’s sex organs develop differently, helping to detect by ultrasound at 12 weeks onwards.

Q: Why did God choose to make men and women?
A: God didn’t have to make two different kinds of human beings. He didn’t have to make us so that men and women, on average, come in different shapes and sizes and grow hair in different places and often think and feel in different ways. God could have propagated the human race in some other way besides the differentiated pair of male and female. He could have made Adam sufficient without an Eve. Or he could have made Eve without an Adam. But God decided to make not one man or one woman, or a group of men or a group of women; he made a man and a woman. The one feature of human existence that shapes life as much or more than any other—our biological sex—was God’s choice. Read More at Crossway.org
Q: If the Bible says so little about homosexuality, why do Christians insist on talking about it so much?
A: The reason the Bible says comparatively little about homosexuality is because it was a comparatively uncontroversial sin among ancient Jews and Christians. There is no evidence that ancient Judaism or early Christianity tolerated any expression of homosexual activity. The Bible says a lot about idolatry, religious hypocrisy, economic injustice, and pagan worship because these were common sins for God’s people in both testaments. Read More at Crossway.org
God has a plan for you - your gender at conception was not a mistake!
When we want to explore what God’s Word teaches about men and women, we usually dive straight into the New Testament. We often begin with Paul’s teaching on how men and women relate in family life and church life. Or we might look at the early Church and consider how men and women worked in ministry partnerships as the church grew. Or we might even look at the life of Jesus and see how he treated men (loving and training the disciples) and women (with extraordinary value and dignity).
But is there more? Is it in the Old Testament too? To answer this question, we have to go right back to the beginning. We’ll see that Genesis reveals a pattern of equality and order that Jesus and Paul constantly referred to when they taught about men and women.
In Genesis 1:26-28 we see the creation of humanity, and a perfect picture of equality. God made male and female. God made them as image bearers to achieve His purpose. God bestowed upon women (and men) an inherent dignity, value and worth—simply as humans. Being equal as an image bearer is the foundation of the Christian’s war against the inequality of women; Read More at The Gospel Coalition…
