Hi FOD, thanks for the comments and it's nice to be here. I've been on the net for some months and a b/l for more time that I care to remember. When looking at Paul's writings I think we must also remember that he was limited by the "scientific" understanding at the time, as indeed we are today, by our limited understanding. God did indeed (as far as we know) intend the natural order of things to be male/femail relationships. Indeed that is important for the procreation of the species. But we must also bear in mind that God intended humans to be borne with two arms and legs, which in some cases (due to genetic disorders or whatever) does not happen. This is in the same vein as he does not allow some of us to be borne with an emotional and sexual attraction towards the opposite sex. I honestly think that when studying scripture, we need to see it in the light of a modern understanding of creation and human nature. It's a facinating subject and I am sure as Heather says. its a thread that will keed going Danny |
