Heteronormativity is the belief that people fall into distinct and complementary genders (male and female) with natural roles in life. It assumes that heterosexuality is the norm or default sexual orientation,[1] and that sexual and marital relations are most (or only) fitting between people of opposite sex. "heteronormative" view thereforeinvolves alignment of biological sex, sexuality, gender identity and gender roles. Heteronormativity often linked to heterosexism and homophobia
Now this is worth reminding myself and you as we explore this newish word and the undertones it spreads into culture. Know this Joseph and Mary were unmarried when Mary was pregnant (Luke 2:5). Jesus is called the son of God, who is imagined as a Father with no bride. single parent...don`t imagine that the case.my Lord and saviour Jesus scandalises many, especially in Luke’s gospel, by travelling openly with unmarried women.
He is instructed by widows (Luke 21:1-4), mothers who may or may not be married (Mark 7:24-30), and young women (Mark 14:3-9).
We are led to accept that his whole ministry was underfunded by wealthy ladies.
Let me tell you that causes debate and hostility.
Often Jesus’s opponents try to trip him up with complicated legal questions involving encounter, The Lord shockingly cavalier in forgiving an adulterous liaison (John 8:3-11, though he offers much harder judgements in the Synoptic gospels, especially at Mark 10:2-12).
Paul has his own distinctive ,lets be truthful complicated view of gender relations ,of sexual desire, plus marriage (most notably at I Corinthians 7:1-16).
But can l argue, should we not try do what's best for us, with the love we need, without hurting others
Is that allowed?
