Homo, from the Greek homos, means same.
Homo, from the Latin homo, means collectively man and woman.
Homo- as a prefix or combining form meaning same is contrasted with
hetero- meaning other or different. A homosexual same sex relationship contrasts with a heterosexual self-other sex relationship.
In the self-other revelation of Existential Relativity,
heterosexuality engineers all biological evolution.
Homosexuality can be meaningful psychologically:
biologically, it is generally infertile and sterile.
************************************************
Whilst modern social attitudes are becoming polarized as regards heterosexual and homosexual unions, it is thought provoking to observe that the patriarchal obsession with a homosexual (meaning same sex) Father-Son deity still dominates all Christian theological discussion and liturgical expression. Past theologians of both Eastern and Western Christianity have argued and fought over the nature of the processions of the divine persons of the Trinity. Pauline Christianity evolved from its parent motherless Jewish Monotheism. Its mindset could not conceive nor would it ever have tolerated any inclusion of woman in an all male godhead. There was and still is no word in Hebrew for goddess or godmother. For Judaism and its Christian and Islamic offshoots their deity could in no way be construed as heterosexual.
It is interesting, even to the point of being entertaining, to study the various Doctrinal Creeds and Council Decrees of the Christian Church as it developed over the Centuries. Participating authorities struggled with the meaning of words in order to avoid inconsistencies and ambiguities. A word out of place or its meaning poorly defined and its user could be labelled a heretic with dire consequences. Liturgical prayers were addressed to God the Father and to God the Son in the Unity of the Holy Spirit. Any language precision defining the procession of the Son from the Father and the procession of the Holy Spirit from the Father and the Son challenged the best minds in Christendom. The Trinity of three Persons (two of male gender and one neuter) in the one God was declared an incomprehensible Mystery. The patriarchal ecclesiastical authority guarded its male hegemony jealously.
History, nevertheless, shows thatreligious experience cannot be divorced from sexuality.Same sex unions are an important aspect of sexuality and which are not new but which are much discussed in political and theological circles today. They threaten to split the Anglican Hierarchy worldwide and are also highly relevant to the official mindset of Roman Catholicism.
What are we to determine about same sex relationships? They are understandable in women and men as resulting from sexual abuse as children and also when married. What is not so understandable is the theological inconsistency of churchmen in authority with regard to same sex unions when their own God, a patriarchal motherless deity, is decreed, without question, as a same sex all male sire-son union.
The irony in today’s official Christian attitude to Marriage is that though heterosexuality (woman and man) is demanded in the partners of a sacred matrimonial union, such union is contracted in the Name and with Blessing of a motherless all male same sex Sire-Son God.
Paul the Apostle had never met the physical Jesus, the son of Jewish parents. He had a radical mindset changing experience of a Jesus the Nazarene Reformer in his recorded paranormal encounter with him on the road to Damascus. Celibate (?) Paul’s admission of a sting of the flesh (2Cor.12/7) has given rise to speculation that he might have had a disposition to homosexuality. Converted Paul became the slave of his psychical construct Jesus the Christ whom he identified in his own mind with Jesus the Nazarene. The meaning of the original Greek doulos was a born slave (Rom. 1/1). The so-called Epistles of Paul were written a decade or more before any of the Gospels made their appearance. As far as we know, Paul was the first preacher and writer to speak of Jesus the Christ. Pauline Christianity developed from patriarchal Jewish mythology and traditions. It postulated a motherless deity, a Father-Son Paternity, a same sex (homosexual) divine all male union.
Genesis 1/27 can be manipulated and spin-doctored to insinuate a heterosexual deity - God created man in the image of himself, in the image of God he created him, male and female he created them. This is simply naïve wishful thinking. As stated above, the mindset of male monotheism could not conceive nor would it ever have tolerated any inclusion of woman in an all male godhead. In today’s realm of real human affairs, not that of past mythological gods and goddesses with their folk lore and legends, empirical evidence now says there cannot be a father and son without a mother.
Many Christians may find it totally unacceptable, but it is not illogical for modern culture to construe such a Pauline conceived same sex all male union as being literally homosexual, from the Greek homos meaning same. Paul wrote at times of the Spirit, but his Divinity was biune not triune in the full sense into which it would evolve later. Nevertheless Paul’s Christology is the very essence of orthodox Theology and still dominates its thinking as it did for the scribes of the Christian Gospels and the Church Fathers.
Paul loved his brainchild, the motherless Jesus the Christ. He perceived and mothered the latter’s spiritual presence within himself. He longed to be dissolved and to be with him. He spent the rest of his life preaching about the Mystery of God the Father and God the Son as revealed in Jesus the Christ. [In actual reality, it was The Woman in his psyche who conceived and sired his Son of Man.]
As young people become more aware of the empirically verifiable realities of Biological Science, teaching authorities must accept that it is time to free Religion Education from the contrived fictions, deceptions and aberrations in which patriarchal ignorance and legendary make believe has implicated them over the course of the last few millennia.
Modern educated intelligent parents, real mothers and real fathers, rightly object to having their children christened (baptized) into an obsolete motherless all male Father - Son same sex (homosexual) uniformity.
