[Roundtable] Re: sample paper

[Jefferis Peterson]

Thank you Tom. I¹ve done a lot of thinking about it but haven¹t a lot to add
to the basic cultural context that created this breakdown of family and
society. It is a much broader beast than the mere sin of homosexuality. Paul
called homosexuality the consequence or punishment upon a culture for the
sin of idolatry [ŒGod gave them up...² ] in Romans 1-2. So I am starting to
view the rise of homosexuality more as a cultural judgment rather than as an
Œindividual choice¹ to sin. In the Scriptures, sin is usually corporate, of
the community and not just an individual act, while individual acts are the
expression of corporate sin.
If I am right in my analysis, then the whole distortion of female roles in
society and the abstraction of feminist theology [did you see my paper on
that in the same area?], is problematic because it assumes that value is
given to people on the basis of their production and work and not upon who
they are in relationship to one another and the community as a whole. That
means that feminists are fighting on the side of capitalist industrialism
and are trying to retrieve value and affirmation for themselves as people by
the very system of thought and economy which is denying them intrinsic value
in the first place!  Rather ironic, don¹t you think?

In Christ,

Jeff
