Revelation – Part Fourteen: Sexual Immorality. Here we go… Image. Likeness. Desire. Dominion. Human. Purity. Angels. Animals. Holy moly. God created us fully human – not to be animals, not be angels. An animal – physical body, but no spiritual life. An angel – spiritual life, but no physical body. God didn’t not create us angels, nor did he create us animals… Human beings are unique in creation – fully physical and fully spiritual…two distinct realms brought together in humans. So what does that mean for sex?
Theological Considerations:
- Who am I?
- Beloved by God in brokenness/I am a guest at Jesus’ table
- Log and Speck – I am deeply broken, too
- What community am I a part of?
- I am part of a community that is called to offer hospitality to the outcasts and marginalized – FORSAKING ALL OLD CREATION DYNAMICS
- I am part of a community has done real harm to LGBTQ+ people – they are wounded deeply and set up in the worst possible state to figure this out (rejected by family and church)
- I am part of a community that regularly fails to to include single, divorced, and gay people.
- I am part of a community that is focused on sexuality disproportionately relative to it’s emphasis in the scriptures
- I am part of a community that has lost any authority to instruct others on sexual matters
