| The verdict passed on Sodom |
|---|
| "As the sun and the stars do not change their order, so the tribe of Naphtali are to obey God rather than the disorderliness of idolatry. Recognazing in all created things the Lord who made them, they are not to become as Sodom, which changed the order of nature." |
The God's created order intended for human beings has been revealed in the Bible[2] that clearly defines humans as male and female, not by accident, but by divine purpose.[3] God has established a norm for sex and marriage by creation[4] and has given to humans a bodily structure unique to the man and the woman.[3]
The created order is reflected in the Natural Law that in sexuality forbids the violation of given boundaries:
- forbids the violation of the boundary of bipolar sexes by homosexuality alias sodomy
- forbids the violation of the boundary of family by incest
- forbids the violation of the boundary of created kinds by sexual intercourse with the animals alias zoophilia alias bestiality.
Transgressing the Created Order
People in society can transgress the created order only to their own detriment[2], as can be demonstrated, for example in case of homosexuality, by scientific device of thought experiment. That's why the homosexual acts are universally condemned by the whole biblical tradition.[2] The perversion of the created order is also referred to as 'an abomination against God' and it may be expected when men put the creation in place of the Creator[4] and when they rebel against Him in their Nimrodian aspirations. An attempt to change the created order of nature is recorded in the Bible as the story of Sodom and the second century B.C. Testament of Naphtali refers to it as the disorderliness of idolatry[4].
Theorories violating the Created Order
The adherents of the gender theory and its later sequel, the transgender theory, declare that "we get to choose our gender identity for ourselves, to decide whether gay or straight, male or female, in between, or none of the above." The so called 'gay' liberation movement identified itslef as 'LGBT' and later they came up with the anagram 'LGBTQQ2IA', assuring that young people nowadays "can redefine themselves at any time." Scripture however refutes any theory that promotes gender as only social construction or that human beings are free to define themselves in a way different than the way God defined them in the act of creation.[3]
