    Okay. Then you tell us:

    Based purely on Watchtower teaching from 1912 to 1956, prior to Eve was Adam male or female?

    Which ONE?

    Maybe Adam was a hermaphordite.

    Have you read my article?

    And, “Which ONE?” was the question. I don’t see an answer.

    You did say that according to your reading of Watchtower teaching Adam was “ONE sex,” right?

    So, which ONE?

    This sounds very much like the opening of the Apocalypse of Adam.

    Adam was of the male sex, being created as a man. Eve was made from man hence, a wo man, womb of man, literally.

    I have been told the same thing by Jewish Rabbis. Hence adam being made in gods immage, who was niether male or female. Once she took his rib he was a man. What a lovely Myth.

    Then being transgender shouldn't be a problem.

    The Egyptians believed some of their gods to be hermaphordites.

    If there was no sex how could Adam be a single sex? Adam was asexual?
