What is Our Natural Function?


What is a man and woman's natural function? What did God create for our bodies to do naturally? The book of Romans is the most powerful theology of history in the Bible. Paul begins the book by explaining how when men and women turn away from God's Truth, they become perverse and God eventually gives them over to a reprobate mind. In Romans 1:26, 27 Paul wrote, For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Mary Pride in her book The Way Home wrote, "What is their natural function? Since the word for female is connected so strongly with the idea of nursing babies, whereas it has no connection at all with the idea of sexual activity, I believe that God is saying here that when women exchange their natural function of child-bearing and motherliness for that which is 'against nature' {that is, trying to behave sexually like a man}, the men tend to abandon the natural sexual use of the women and turn to homosexuality."

Paul said that women left their natural use "into which is against nature." As I was pondering all of this, I was asking the question, "What is the natural function of the woman?" I disagree with part of what Mary wrote since I believe our natural function, the way God created us, is to have sex with a man and have his babies, then nurse them.  For the men, Paul said they "left the natural use of the woman and burned in their lust for one another, doing things which are unseemly." The natural function of a man is to have sex with a woman. The parts fit. This is what sex actually is! Two women can't actually even have sex. They can fool around but it is impossible for them to have sexual intercourse because they don't have the parts that fit together and neither do two men. {All medical studies have proven that anal sex is "very damaging to your health and quite possibly life threatening."} When birth control entered America and women began preventing having babies {one of the main reasons God created sex}, they began having sex only for pleasure, thus using their bodies unnaturally.

Since, the natural function of a woman is to have sex with a man, have his babies and nurse them, you can see now that as women stopped using their bodies the way God intended them to be used, destruction began. They no longer needed a man. Since a man's natural function of having sex with a woman so she can bear children is taken away, he uses sex simply for pleasure. He is no longer needed to leave his mother and father, cleave to a wife and create a family. 

NOTHING good happens when mankind leaves the path that God created them to walk in. God's purpose from the beginning was to create a family for Himself.  For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people {2 Corinthians 6:16}. God created sex to build a family for Him; for a man to leave his family, cleave to his wife and create godly offspring. The wife was to be at home being a help meet to her husband, bearing children and keeping house. 

If you have a chance, watch this short YouTube called Homemaker or Career Woman? It clearly explains women's biblical roles. "God never intended for women to pursue careers at the expense of motherhood. God intended for women to be keepers at home. Modern apostate society treats women just like men and as a consequence, women now act like men."

Let's stop acting like men and begin using our bodies for their natural function the way God intended for us to use them and not society's perversion. Enjoy being a woman. Enjoy sex with your husband. Cherish the children the Lord blesses you with. Love being at home and making a sanctuary where your family can learn about the Lord, eat nourishing food and enjoy peace with one another. This is God's will for you.

I hadn't really connected that logical conclusion of "having babies and nursing them" with that passage, but it really does fit. There are so many consequences when we mess with God's design. Thank you for this thought-provoking post. -Cheryl at The Long Way to Go

It always makes me so sad to see women leaving their babies with other people, trying to act like men by going to work, some even intentionally getting pregnant so they can take from the hard working men. They want the kids, they want the daddy to take care of them (child support) But then they won't get married. If they did, they might have to stop their sinful lives! I wish more young women would just give their lives to God and be happy in the role they were meant to have.

Wow, this article is really-extra-super-awesome!! Good work, Lori! Most people (especially we Protestants) just don't get these connections. I'm guessing you'll probably get a lot of push-back from this article, but soldier on - you're speaking important truths. Hopefully your words will fall on ears that are willing to hear.

Merry Christmas!!

What if my husband wants me to have anal sex? Don't I have to obey him?

This is interesting because studies have been done that show that males stop being attracted to females when they are given artificial hormones (birth control), and end up turning to other males more.

I never connected childbearing and nursing as a woman's natural function, but it makes a lot of sense. God's design for family is beautiful and I pray my husband and I will conceive again. I'm also glad that you stated it's okay for a woman to enjoy sex. Growing up, my parents rarely talked to us about sex, although they were good examples of showing love toward each other. Yet, I always felt sex was dirty and wrong and it's taken awhile to realize it's okay for women to enjoy bonding with their husband. Maybe God gave that to us intentionally? Days where I am not in the mood, I prayed for God to give me the desire to want to be with my husband, and God has always answered that prayer for me. I truly believe he can bless that area of our marriages if we ask.

Another great post! God uses you to make me think. I know that this may sound strange, but only since I started reading your blog have I actually liked being a woman.

When I was growing up, I was heavily influenced to be strong. That being a woman meant that I was weak and I would be taken advantage of if I didn't measure up.

Your the first person that has shown me that I have a natural role, and how to pursue that role.
I'm married and my husband is very patient with me and likes the changes in me. I still need to work at being more feminine ( I wear blue jeans and t-shirts all the time) And to have meek and mild spirit. I know with God's help I'll get there.

Thanks, :)

Tonight I tried to gently bring up this subject with my husband. Letting him know if I had more time at home I could make better and healthier meals, declutter our home, do more for him and the kids etc. Unfortunately he did not get what I was saying. He said that because we both work full time, he doesn't mind splitting chores 50/50. I realize that I am lucky that he is willing to help, but sometimes I just wish we could each fall into our "natural functions" and see how great things really could be. What can I do, other than pray God works on him in this area?

One exception to the post...women and men practiced unnatural sex (homosexual sex) since biblical times, think Sodom, etc., it did not begin with any recent "sexual revolution" or feminism or any thinking in the last few hundred years or even past decades. So the impetus is not right here. The results are correct, the origins are not. That said, even back in the OT God calls women behaving as men and vice versa an abomination. It is an abomination still.
