Andrew,

I agree with your general understanding of eschatology and
how it should inform our ethics and sense of identity as the church.  However,
I’m not yet convinced by your application of your ideas to this issue.  In particular, I wonder

1) How you would respond to Dale B. Martin’s arguments regarding the translation of arsenokoités in his article “Arsenokoités and Malakos: Meanings and
Consequences” (available here:  http://www.clgs.org/5/5_4_3.html)? 

2) Regarding your point #2, how do you reconcile Gen 1:27
with Gal 3:28?
