Biblical Complementarianism

N.T. Wright (whom I've never listened to before; didn't really know anything about him) is asked a question about "Gay Marriage", and presents a very interesting concept from a much wider view:

The Biblical design of our (pre-Fall original and future restored) cosmos is one of complementary contrasts:
  • Light - Dark
  • Day - Night
  • Heaven - Earth
  • Land - Seas
  • Birds (flying in air) - Fish ("flying" in water)
  • Male - Female
  • God (Christ) - Humans (Church)
  • New Heaven - New Earth
  • Lion - Lamb
  • Body - Spirit
This is the Design. Anything else is something other than the Design.
