Making "Her" Male

Simon Peter said to them, “Let Mary leave us, for women are not worthy of life.” Jesus said, “I myself shall lead her in order to make her male, so that she too may become a living spirit resembling you males. For every woman who will make herself male will enter the kingdom of heaven.” (Thomas 114)[1]

We all have 23 pairs of chromosomes which, of course, totals 46. The pairs in a female are known as XX and the pairs in a male are an XY. All cells have 46 chromosomes except the sexual chromosomes which only have 23. When the female's eggs are formed they take one chromosome from each of the 23 pairs. So the egg has only 23 chromosomes. And likewise when sperm is formed in a male, they do the same, except some of the sperm are X's and some are Y's.

When an X sperm of 23 chromosomes unites with the X egg of 23 chromosomes, a female is formed. XX

When a Y sperm of 23 chromosomes unites with the X egg of 23 chromosomes, a male is formed. XY

We are told that spiritual truths are pictured for us in nature. So if that is true with the above scenario, then everyone is not automatically born a son of God, but everyone IS a child of God, especially those that have experienced the new conception (we are first conceived of God before we are born of God). "...the Living God who is the savior of all men, especially of those who believe." 1 Tim. Until you are brought into belief, the truth of salvation is not realized for you even if it is in the bank, so to speak, for you to draw upon.

John 1:12
"But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority to become the children of God, that is to those who believe in and rely on His name.
Who owe their birth neither to bloods, nor to the will of the flesh, nor to the will of man [that of a natural father], but to God."

If the portion of scripture I borrowed from the book of Thomas is true, and it is correlated with what science is saying, then it takes a special kind of union to form a son. Now we must not take this in the letter or in the natural. We are spiritually speaking here. In our earlier spiritual development, we behave much more soulishly or in the feminine until we learn to "put on Christ" or more Son-like qualities.

I was researching some of the information that I just shared above because I had always heard that all embryos are female until testoterone interrupted the cycle to form the male, but that has proved to be untrue with newer science. Gender is determined by either an X or Y sperm uniting with the egg. So, it is still testosterone that is neeeded to produce a male, which symbolizes for me that there must be a rendezvous with the Christ, the New Creation Man with our soul (the egg in this scenario) in order to be able to birth the mature Son of God.

"He who possesses the Son has life; he who does not possess the Son does not have life." 1 John 5:12

Everyone is the offspring or child of God as Paul was teaching on Mars Hill, but that does not mean you have put on Christ in His fullness and have taken your place as a mature Son.

God's intention which He declared from the beginning was "Let us make Man." God is not making God, but Man.[that does not mean just mankind in general, but the Man or the Son in his full image] We are not becoming God, but God is becoming Man.

And as Thomas quotes Jesus as saying, we must be led by Him in order for our feminine to become Male, or the Manchild. Remember "she is saved in childbearing" [bearing the Manchild].

Remember the first Adam became a living soul. S/he was feminine or soulish in character.

The Last Adam became a life-giving Spirit or the New Creation Man. The soul or feminine is once again integrated back into him and they become one New Flesh.
