I disagree (as do the Church Fathers). Sexual sin is just like other sins: a perversion or exaggeration of a disposition toward something good.
And you would be wrong.
Oh, sure, if we were just spirit beings you’d have a point ... but we are still flesh and blood.
In fact the Apostle Paul expressly noted WHY sexual sin was worse for the sinner, why it was harder to escape, because it is done against our own bodies too.
He may not have known about brain chemistry but he could plainly see the consequences of same in the lives of actual persons.
Sex digs deeply into our brains because of the chemicals it causes to be released. Engaging in sex even can alter the structure of the brain.
Other sins by in large do not do that. They may be made more likely by abnormalities IN a brain but they do not (in so far as I know) usually cause changes TO the brain.
This is why, modern medical knowledge or simple honest human observation alike, we should flee sexual sins. They are dynamite. Like when our Lord asked if a man can take fire into his bosom and not get burned.
In marriage, where both were each other’s first AS SHOULD BE THE CASE, never mind that it should be one man and one woman only, all of this sex chemistry helps to knit the two together. It serves God’s purposes ... even if the man and woman don’t know Him as savior.
Outside of that they scar and disassociate the specific high from the one and only person who it should belong to.
Again, flee sexual immorality.
To this I will add that in addition to the licentious behavior long associated with homosexuality there is now seemingly a new thing being added into the mix when homosexuals come to see them being homosexual as if it were the defining aspect of their identity. This is, without apology, a spiritual stronghold in Satan’s service right where nobody ever needs one.
I’m not going to say that this identity thing wasn’t going on in the 70s, when open homosexuals were certainly as in-your-face as ever before or since (and closeted ones also often exceedingly promiscuous), though that might have been the case ... it just wasn’t obviously the case to those far removed from the homosexual death-style as I’m.
Yet by in large it seems as if Satan has not been able to convince most sexual libertine sinners to identify themselves by their sin. It just remains something that they do and not the core of how they see themselves. I say that as someone who, as a relatively young child, was exposed to porn so I’m not so far removed from it as I’m from all the faggotry going on.
It certainly isn’t the case that we often find thieves, murderers, and others identifying themselves to their core by their sins ... though maybe swindlers and false teachers do often qualify (it’s hard to tell).
It is not remarkable, then, that when listing one proverbial canary in a coal mine whose death should warn the miners that the air is getting bad the Apostle Paul cited homosexuality. Being turned over to a reprobate mind does not start with homosexuality nor does it end there ... but if that canary dies miners in the real world take notice rather than continue their raunchy celebration of homosexual identity: both those in it and those clamoring to praise it.
