Hi Mark, since I'm an erstwhile proponent of the idea that our sexuality is a mere statistical variation following the physical laws, I feel I should comment on how I perceive the relationship of these laws to God. I believe God upholds the physical laws, in the sense that the universe would collapse if he pulled out from them. But I also believe that the original physical laws that he declared at creation were corrupted by the Fall. Hence the Bible's language about the earth going hard and yielding weeds (Gen 3), and creation itself groaning for redemption (Rom 8). Likewise at the beginning we were only given plants to eat, and only later in Noah's day were we given meat to eat. So in this way, one might say that according the original laws all were heterosexual, with no statistical deviations. The statistical spread of sexualities came in when the Fall changed creation and its laws. I don't know if this is actually the case, but it's one way of answering "how other orientations are not what God intended when he created that variability". F.O.D. |
