The Corruption of Humanity
Deviant behavior is any behavior that is outside the traditional norm for society. In this blog, I will take a look at the homosexual and the transgender world, and how this deviation from the natural order, affects our culture today.
The Beginning
In order to understand the basis for my thoughts on this subject, we first must consider what and who mankind is. In the Judeo-Christian tradition, the world was made is stages, first LIGHT, Then the EARTH and SKY, water covered the earth and was separated by dry land, the SUN and MOON, then PLANTS & ANIMALS. The sequence is not an exact science but when all was well God created MAN. The method He used is not important but, Genesis tells us that we were created out of the slime of the earth. (Genesis 2 v7) What could that mean? All of the animals came first according to their kind. (Gen 1 v 25) That is, the birds are birds and cattle are cattle, each have their purpose and individual behaviors. All animals exhibit their unique traits according to their kind and one kind of animal is unique from all other kinds. This is not to say that the animals that wee see today on earth are the same as those originally created by God. They all retain their uniqueness in purpose but some have died out due to climatic and other natural environmental conditions, while others have evolved into the species we have become familiar with today. Of those who have died out, we recognize dinosaur bones of many types, skeletons of per-historic man such as Neanderthals and the Cro-magnum Man, and other extinct fossilized animals.
It is by natural progression that all living creatures and plant life, have become adapted to the earth”s environment in this changing world. God created a living organism when He created the earth. Ecologists call it an Ecosystem, but, this type of system on earth is actually a misnomer because, for eons, the earth has been bombarded with matter from the space outside of itself that contributes to its’ makeup and ecology. Therefore no living thing created by God is a being unto itself. All rely on other created things in order to maintain life in the physical world.
When it is said that God created man out of the slime of the earth, the earth as a whole, is taken into account in reference to that slime. God could have taken a wadd of clay and fashioned it into the first man. He could have collected dust and fungi out of which to create man. He could have used the existent animal life and raised it into a being like unto Himself as in the genesis account, or He could have simply breathed His Spirit upon an existing prehistoric man through which the man became that being Like Unto Himself.
Whatever the process, it is the common acceptance by all of humanity, that man is unique in the created world, subject to the laws of nature and of his environment. Nature does not change but environmental effects can effect change and be compensated for.
In the beginning, a spiritual world along with a physical world was created. The Creator also known as God, is pure spirit, hence, before creation was, there was nothing that we can relate to in existence. God being pure spirit created a universe according to His imagination. He filled it with both spirit beings as well as physical beings, having a type of spirit. The spiritual beings He created are invisible spiritual sentient beings, like unto Himself, having no physical form, but having free will. They were created by the billions, each one a unique individual we call angels. When they became aware of God’s plan to breathe His Spirit into animal beings upon the earth and make them also like unto Himself giving then an awareness of Himself and with free will, 1/3 of the angels became jealous for they could do what angels could not do. Having bodies they could interact with the physical universe around them. Being pure spirits the angels could not do that and in their arrogance and pride, freely chose to no longer honor the desires of God and therefore opposed God’s will for mankind. Thus evil entered the spiritual world and separated itself from God. God therefore banished the evil to the physical universe for that is what the rebellious angels were jealous for, that is, interaction with the world.
Enter Mankind
The mechanism that God used to create man is not the object of this discussion, only that man is created with a unique purpose, as are all the animals, and to fulfill that purpose, is what will bring man to his sense of fulfillment and joyful satisfaction. Genesis tells us that man was created male and female. Why? Genesis also tells us man along with all the other animals, even though man is unique among them, , is to be fruitful and multiply. We can not achieve this stipulation individually, but only as a pair, that is male and female. When we attempt to do otherwise we act counter to God’s creation and try to become the rule-maker for the natural order.
In their deceitful ways, the rebellious angels being jealous of man, seek to win their allegiance, and set them on a path against God. When the leader of the rebellious angels, , the devil, found the woman relaxing in the garden, he enticed her along with her husband to seek the pleasures of creation rather than the desires of God. They both succumb to the devils temptation and immediately, sin entered humanity and they had the knowledge that they were tempted to seek by the devil. They knew that they were naked and tried to hide themselves from God. They knew good and now they know evil. As evil enters the human world, it distorts the soul, and life is now encumbered by deception and guilt. We pass these traits on to our children, sometimes as psychological effects and, depending on the sin, even as changes in our dna that cause physical manipulation within our physical beings..
God, our creator knew these changes would happen when man would seek to make his own rules for the order of His creation. He warned man in the garden before the first time that man encountered the devil. (Genesis ch 3, v 3,4) All of humanity now possess the effects of this sin. We can become prideful, selfish, lustful and arrogant. In order to live in a successful society, man works continuously to keep these failings and desires in check. This fact is true in all civilizations, current and ancient on earth.
Mankind, therefore, seeks to control these impulses through the development of society and a code of law through which we govern ourselves. When the law is in conformity to the natural order, that is, as religious people would say, to the will of God, society advances for the benefit of all. When the law is contrary to the natural order there is stagnation and society suffers in a degenerative state. Whether it be law that is governing behavior or, a change in the acceptance in culture of a behavior that deviates from the natural order, in the name of compassion towards those who feel alienated, deviation from the natural order does alienate people, of their own accord, from the rest of society.
The World Today
Society celebrates diversity. Upon initial exposure to this thought, diversity seems to be a desirable trait when we accept other people who express a different cultural upbringing from our own. When that diversity is artificially developed in order to justify ones craving for the admiration of others, envy and jealousy has taken over.
When I envy another’s looks or accomplishments, this identifies me as dissatisfied with the work of the Creator, God. That is; Why didn’t He give me those attributes, after all I am a good person and want the admiration that this other person has. I have failed to recognize that Gods purpose is to give me all that is necessary for me to live a fruitful and productive life, joyful and thankful for the gift of my life in order to serve Him for the betterment of mankind. My purpose, therefore should be to promote the natural order as closely as I can in all things. After all, what good is my life to the human family if I reject it’s creator?
What if I don’t believe in a God or a creator of the universe? I say to you,when mankind of any culture, has developed a society that is counter to the natural order, that is, a culture in which the individual achievement for the individual is paramount to the benefit that which individual might contribute to that society, pride and selfishness has taken hold of the spirit of that man. It then becomes a benefit, for that man, to grow contrary to the natural order in his success, no matter the effect on others in his community that suffer at the expense of that success.
When, therefore, the means to this success is contrary to the natural order, society suffers. No man is a world unto himself. Whether male or female, when homosexual dysfunction takes over the spirit of man, it can make slavery, to this condition, a way of life. No one wants to be alone, especially in his or her sin. It is always our intention to have as much of the company of others in this dysfunction as possible, for it makes one feel as if the condition is the norm for humanity. Gender dysfunction comes in many forms, but whatever form, the affected person searches for and fantasizes about the normalization of his or her life. Language attempts to normalize and stroke the ego of the affected person, but it is a lie.
The homosexual lifestyle is not gay. Transgender society is a lie because, even though the looks of a person can be modified, their interior biology at the cellular and chromosomal level is not changed. There is more suicide in these groups then in any other group of our society. Tradition, as in identified roles where men and women have lived successful lives for the past 6000 or more years, have we become so enlightened today, so as to say that God didn’t know what He was doing at creation? Men have not married men because there is no future for procreation. God did say that when a couple (man and woman) come together in love, the result is new life. We should be fruitful and multiply. Two people of the same sex are obviously unable to fulfill God’s first objective for man and show disrespect for the natural order.
Boy or Girl
In addition to the chromosome inherited through conception (ie: XX or XY) in determining the sexual assignment of the human fetus (ie: Girl or Boy) other factors such as hormone exposure of the fetus has an effect on organ, as well as brain development of the person, effecting behavior. While a person has no control over these events, all of mankind has been equally endowed with the freedom to choose, for himself, life within the natural order, or a life of rejection of the order of creation itself. When we remember that boys are boys and girls are girls, life, even though it presents some challenges, is most fruitful for the benefit of mankind when lived according to the rules of Creation. Those challenges that we face have been with us since Adam and Eve chose to rely on themselves instead of the wisdom and companionship of God,m their Creator.
Believe or reject the laws of nature as you like, for we are all free to choose, but remember, choices always come with consequences. What can I say about the man who is born with latent attraction to men of the same gender? Traditionally, in the past, such people, whether male or female, lived lives as single people. The opportunity for friendships within both sexes always exists, but there is no such thing as same sex marriage. By the natural law, marriage is a bisexual lifestyle capable of producing children, in love. This is not possible for the same sex couple, therefore there is no marriage, only friendship. The single person is called to celibacy and can seek fulfillment in his or her contribution of service to society. Some people will claim that this is unfair. Is it fair for a man to be born blind, for a man to be saddled with asthma, for a man to be without speech or to be born with a club foot? Every man has his or her cross to bear, ever since Adam chose to seek self fulfillment rather than his Creator. ( Genesis Ch 3 )
I recently met a man who has developed ‘MS’ in his early 40’s. His cheerful and congenial attitude intrigued me. There was no bitterness in his attitude towards life. How can this be, I thought? As we discussed his situation he commented that he had finally resigned himself to the fact that we all need to deal with the cards that we hold in our hands. It is our free will that determines our bitterness or happiness in this life.
