"We sometimes forget the creation mandate came before the fall."

Ah, yes... so much gets "forgotten," I suspect because of some combination of strong indoctrination and just becoming too habituated to the "party line."

I have, perhaps unsurprisingly, gotten some "push back" on this. Actually, I am somewhat surprised that I haven't gotten more? Hey, one of the "blessings" of having so few readers, right?

Actually, after an average readership of less than fifty, this entry in the series has jumped to over 100... Do you suppose that might have something to do with the word "Sex" in the title? ;)

My friend Lydon, I very much look forward to hearing further observations, questions, and any other reactions after you've done some re-reading and perusing.... Thanks for commenting! ;)
