Biblical Logic; Jesus Was Transgender
By James Donahue
Obviously with her tongue thrust hard in her cheek, freelance writer Suzanne DeWitt Hall once proved . . . with biblical text to back up her argument . . . that Jesus must have been a transgender person.
Hall wrote that if Christians really take the Bible literally, as they claim to do, “they would quickly see that Jesus must be, by their own exegetical rules, the first transgender male.”
Her reasoning goes like this:
Since the church teaches that Jesus “received his fleshly self from Mary,” and it also teaches that Jesus is the new Adam, burn of the new Eve.
She writes that Eve appears to be the first example of human cloning. The Genesis story states that to create Eve, God reached into Adam and pulled out a rib bone. God then grew Eve from the XY DNA to be Adam’s companion. “She was created genetically male, and yet transformed into woman.
“Then along comes Jesus and the whole pattern is both repeated and reversed.” Indeed, if Jesus was born of the Virgin Mary, the “second Eve,” and he was a male born of the flesh of Eve, so he had to have been born with XX chromosome pairing. He was “born genetically female, and yet transformed into man.”
Hall explains that the prefix “trans” means across, through or thoroughly changed. All of these terms are excellent ways to describe the person of Christ. “He cuts across all boundaries. He is beyond our understanding. He is through all and in all. He changes us thoroughly into new creations.”
Thus, Hall argues, “in his person, and in his salvific actions, Jesus is truly the first and forever trans man.”
