It's just really interesting to me every behavior mentioned in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 is about direct mistreatment of another human being in some way, except for the homosexual bit.
9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Neither sexually immoral people, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor passive homosexual partners, nor dominant homosexual partners, 10 nor thieves, nor greedy persons, not drunkards, not abusive persons, not swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
Idolator = mistreating God, betrayal
Adulterer = mistreating your spouse, betrayal
Thief = mistreating your neighbor, betrayal
Greedy = mistreating your neighbor, unfairness
Drunkard = mistreating yourself, escapism, waste of self
Abusive = mistreating others, betrayal
Swindlers = mistreating others, betrayal
Passive/homosexual partners = not aligning with nature. Mistreating the body? Mistreating the creative order?
I don't know, I just don't understand how it falls under the same category as the others. If Paul in fact meant the abusive sexual relations between master and slave and so on, that would make a lot more sense. It also makes a lot of sense that homosexuality in general is not the desired way. It is unnatural, and I argue that if you have 2 potential partners you are equally attracted to and they can offer you the exact same in every area of life except for one being the same sex as you and the other the opposite sex as you, then the better option is the opposite sex. But if you are not attracted to the one of the opposite sex, and the thought of being with them makes you feel nauseous, and you truly love the person of the same sex, and want to spend your life with them while simultaneously devoting your life to Jesus - is that not possible? Are you then sinning?
I am open to it being sinning, I just don't feel it...
Isn't it a bit odd though, that every behavior is specifically addressing direct betrayal and spiritual/psychological hurt of self and/or others, while homosexuality is only addressing a purely physical behavior?
Either Paul is addressing something specific that would be understood as in the same category as the others, or we are just so desensitized in this that we can't see the immediate damaging and harmful effects homosexuality has on self and others. I don't know...
