You could say that.

Circling back to the observation of mine that apparently led to the discussion we’re having, though, a married man and woman are regarded as one flesh. My wondering about it all had me questioning whether this might mean that any sort of sexual promiscuity and in particular homosexuality might have physical consequences beyond what we currently understand.

“Diverse flesh” just flashed into mind, I’m going to go look into that, to see where that leads.

From a limited amount of checking into this, “diverse” and “strange” appear to be related terms in several instances, Biblically. Not certain that they’re exactly interchangeable, haven’t taken the time to research the original language, but if so it references all manner of forbidden sexual interaction, with animals, with one’s own sex, even with angels as in the instance of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the antediluvian situation alluded to in Genesis and expounded upon in I Enoch.

There are already some consequences of promiscuity which we know of, especially in the realm of compromised immune systems, but the full extent? I don't think we have much of a clue.

God always established His Laws for a reason, some of which we now understand and some of which we don't yet. But one thing I'm convinced of is that they're NOT arbitrary.
