Controversial Faith: Why Does God Care About My Sexuality? - Jon Tyson
Church of the City New York
Sex as destiny it sex as an accident
Sexual feelings and bodily desires are integral to reflecting God's image, suggesting that when these experiences are aligned with our divine identity, we flourish. Such longings serve as a guide toward the ultimate intimate union with God, fulfilling our deepest yearnings in a way that transcends mere earthly pleasure. In contrast, a nihilistic view reduces existence to an accidental outcome, stripping life of meaning and purpose. The belief in intentional creation offers a narrative of hope and redemption, emphasizing that we are made for something greater than mere reproduction or transient pleasure. Our physical existence and desires narrate a grander story of divine purpose and pursuit, urging us towards an everlasting union with the divine.
