Paul teaches that exchanging the image of God for another image in anything we do (as expressed in male-male and female-female pairing, as Paul outlined in Romans 1) represents a rejection of God himself. As the Center for Faith, Sexuality, and Gender states, “The Fall has corrupted God’s original intent for human sexuality in all persons; therefore, all people—straight or non-straight—experience corruption in their sexuality.”59 Any departure from God’s intention for sexual expression in marriage misses the mark.
