The Bible and Homosexuality
Posted on Saturday, February 16, 2008 at 11:31 AM by Duncan Bouwer
The reality is that it's not about homosexuality or heterosexuality. It is about submission. The bible states clearly the parameters for sexuality and the practise of sexual intercourse. It is even more specific about the parameters for heterosexuality than for homosexuality.
But if we are not prepared to submit our agendas and natural instincts (the instinct to be polygamous, the instinct to have sex with a person of the same sex) then we cannot rightly call ourselves Christians. Heterosexuals have to restrict themselves to one sexual partner for life, no matter how natural it may feel to sleep with multiple partners. What's the difference?
Sex is an expression of who God is. It is not primarily an expression of who we are. And God is, by definition (Gen 1:27) male and female.
"For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh." (Gen. 2:24) To be reunited; to be as they were before Eve was taken out of Adam. To once again be like God.
