Aaron (real name or house-priest-wannabe???): “The postmodernists would rewrite those naturally functioning relationships into something dysfunctional, unnatural, sterile, socially acceptable, politically correct.”

These “naturally functioning” relationships, as you would call them, are the result of mankind’s fallen nature. It is a more subtle form of “dog eat dog”, or “king of the hill”. It is something the gentiles have been exercising for, like, ever. It is sinful, fallen, ungodly. At least that is according to the words of Jesus in red who told them, very specifically, that they are not to be called leaders or look to lord over others like the gentiles do.

No, we are looking to rewrite these broken, earthly, carnal relationships into what God wants to rewrite them into, strong, liberating (for both involved), empowering (for both involved), healing (for both involved), spiritually functional, socially transcendent, and politically revolutionary (the way Jesus showed us to live).

Aaron, spend a little more time locating and meditating the bedrock of the words of Jesus and stop listening so much to men who love interpret the words of Paul through their dysfunctional, fallen, carnal lenses of men who love the best seats in the house and church.
