1:26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
1:27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
- Romans I
So,according to Paul there is a “natural use of the woman“, which strikes me as a bit odd… but Paul is at heart a misogynist, and he doesn’t really see that much in putting the fair sex down. And with that he worked into the hands of uncounted men over the centuries that had dicks as small as their egos and needed someone to let it out at.
I wonder if that wasn’t the true reason why they put his letters into the book. There is a certain trend here, with pornographic poetry in the song of songs, and then some male wish-fulfillment in Pauls writing.
That aside… according to this obviously it is God who makes people have “vile affections” . I’m confused, why should he do that when he wants people to behave according to their nature?
Isn’t that sort of a dick move?
Or is it just Paul bringing in some of his own bias here? It’s God who makes things happen but Paul who makes the decision about wrong or right?
As an aside… I think this is one of the parts of the bible where graphic illustration would be embraced by a certain part of the readership…
