As far as Romans 1, it is inference to assume the preacher meant we should look at all creation "through the lens of Gender". I inferred that gender was 1 way God's creation revealed His nature. Also, are God's exceptions to the 1stborn enough to dismiss the point? God is consistent with the principle of the 1stborn throughout Hebrew scripture. Exceptions are spurious interpretive principles. If so, they lose the very point God meant to make by using them as exceptions. If allowed, the purpose of having a norm is inverted. The norm is still His norm and cannot be dismissed because He sovereignly chose to reveal His manifold wisdom and grace with occasional exceptions. However, while I agree with many of the applications and conclusions, I find the exegetical punch weak. Adam created "in the wild"? Eisegesis from silence, assumption and folk theology. Appeals to my machismo but have never been able to nail that down in the text & preach it as biblical truth myself.

The comment re: Romans 1 is quite a stretch. ALL of creation reflects God's character and is created for his glory. To intimate that this broad view can be reduced to looking at God's amazing creation through the lens of gender does, I think, violence to this marvelous piece of scripture. It is eisegesis. Certainly Paul, in ensuing verses does deal with sexuality, but he begins with a much greater view. I am also interested that the preacher does not acknowledge the number of times God bypasses the "first born principle" to use or honour the second or later born (think of Jacob, David, Samuel and others!)
