<FONT FACE="Lucida Grande, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Thank you Tom. I’ve done a lot of thinking about it but haven’t 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 [‘God gave them up...” ] in Romans 1-2. So I am starting to view the rise of homosexuality more as a cultural judgment rather than as an ‘individual choice’ 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. <BR>
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, don’t you think? <BR>

In Christ,<BR>

I just wanted to thank you for sharing the history of how this mindset (spirit) came to the forefront. While reading the Scriptures i see a particular prophetic evaluation regarding this subject and am pleased to find such historic background as to how this "Beast" raised it's head.<BR>
