1 Corinthians 11

V. 11-12, We all came from God

In verses 11 and 12 Paul clarifies that both men and women are not only equally important in God’s eyes but in our society. You can’t have a man without a woman, and you can’t have a woman without a man. As the old saying goes, “it takes two to tango.” God created mankind to depend upon man and woman for creation to continue to grow and thrive and you can’t have procreation without one of each being involved in the process. They where created to function as a team and help mates for each other, both equally important to the plan of God to be fulfilled on this earth. In Genesis 1:28 commanded Adam and Eve to be fruitful and to the fill earth and subdue it, a command and mission that was equally dependent upon both male and female for generations to come.

Not to get off the subject but it is important to note that no where in this scripture or any other scripture is there reference to acceptable relationships outside of the heterosexual standard set by God. Male and female where created to be dependent upon each other for life to continue and prosper. Anytime that homosexual relationships are mentioned in the Bible it is with a negative context and mentioned as sinful behavior or behavior contrary to God’s original design. Our society has twisted and manipulated ideas to fit their life style, but God design has always been for heterosexual relationship between one man and one woman in side the marriage covenant.
