While the Bible does address homosexuality,
Not really... it does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage. It is clear, however, that the Bible condemns homosexuality as an immoral and unnatural sin. Now that's just a lie.
Quote:
Leviticus 18:22 identifies homosexual sex as an abomination, a detestable sin.
No it doesn't.
Lev 18:22 defines ritualistic sex between two men of distinction as being a unclean act.
Just as sinful as seeing any of your family members naked. (Ever take a bath with your siblings?) the rest of Leviticus 1
Looking at or being in the presence of the statues of other Gods or taking the silver or gold of these statues for any other use. (Do you know where your jewelry comes from?) Deu 7:25
Eating Unclean food (Curse you Red Lobster!) Deu 14:3
Consulting someone who can speak to the dead or see the future (ever read your horoscope?) Deu 18:11-12
Women wearing pants and men wearing makeup (No more acting for you boys, Orlando Bloom and Jhonny Depp are just as bad off as them Gays) Deu 22:5
Quote:
Romans 1:26-27 declares homosexual desires and actions to be shameful, unnatural, lustful, and indecent.
BUZZZZ Reading between the lines again.
verses 26-27 is not in context with the rest of the passage. It states right in the passage "For this reason" blatantly implying that there is something else going on here. The lusts spoken of are the result of godlessness and the refusal of the gospel of God. The godless ones are described as being given over to their passions. It is important to realize that the passage is not centered on homosexual relations, no matter how you interpret it.
Quote:
First Corinthians 6:9 states that homosexuals are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God.
A-nope. Unless you can read αρσενοκοιται and μαλακοι and understand Jewish writings and Greek grammar you're going to just have to trust me on the fact that the word "Homosexual" or the concept "Homosexual" isn't what is going on here at all.
Quote:
Whenever the Bible mentions marriage, it is between a male and a female. The first mention of marriage, Genesis 2:24, describes it as a man leaving his parents and being united to his wife.
And Jesus talks about Men leaving their families for God without having wives. Paul speaks that it is better for everyone to stay single and to never marry.
Plus, the word used there? דבק for clinging or cleaving, the whole thing you do to your wife/husband that registers you as married in the eyes of God?
Yea, Ruth did that to Naomi. So they were, at least linguistically by this standard. Married.
Interesting thing to note here is that this passage does say "For this reason" What is the reason? God made Eve for Adam so "For this reason"
It could be referring to people God made for them, soul mates. For the reason of finding your destined match that God has created for you, you shall leave your families household to be with them. Gender (as in what genitalia you have) may play no direct part in this as this could be a general reference to all me, or even a specific reference to Adam anyway.
Quote:
In passages that contain instructions regarding marriage, such as 1 Corinthians 7:2-16
Naughty Naughty, taking it out of context.
"Now for the matters you wrote about..." Well anything written in this passage is an answer to a specific question. And the question was not "Can gay people marry" Looking at the context of the entire chapter Paul says everyone should stay virgin, no one should ever have sex, but if they can't keep it in their pants then they should marry and the sex within their marriage then is not a sin. But women should not be forced into marriage and neither men. He also says that non-believers should not be forced into the beliefs of the believers, that each one has their place and path and calling before God.
Quote:
and Ephesians 5:23-33, the Bible clearly identifies marriage as being between a man and a woman.
Hermaphrodites (or intersexed)
and Computers.
Lack of mention or rules does not a sin make. Else get off that computer you sinner and step away from your jeans and non-mud-brick house.
The Bible also identifies rabbits as cud chewing animals when they don't.
Quote:
Biblically speaking, marriage is the lifetime union of a man and a woman, primarily for the purpose of building a family and providing a stable environment for that family.
nope. Not since Jesus and Paul came to town.
Marriage for the Bible was a contractual agreement between two families that involved linage lines of inheritance, hence the reason why if one brother died without having a child, his younger sibling was required By Biblical Law to impregnate the widow regardless of his marital status. However according to Paul and Jesus this was not a requirement, Marriage became the commitment that you're kind of talking about here but it isn't for building that family for inheritance reasons as it once was, but now simply as a way of not sinning by becoming preoccupied with sex.
Now marriage is a convenience for your baser instinctual needs so you can focus whole heartedly on God instead of worrying about your genitalia and offspring.
Quote:
The Bible alone, however, does not have to be used to demonstrate this understanding of marriage. The biblical viewpoint of marriage has been the universal understanding of marriage in every human civilization in world history.
History and Civilizations that didn't have the Bible (And still don't) would like to have a word with you.
In Taoism some men can have too much Yin so acting as females is considered acceptable for them, (Same for women with too much Yang)
The Gods Shanshen and Tudigong are both male and often known for living together as lovers.
Confucianism was okay with Homosexuality in general, as long as it was NOT exclusive as a male was still expected to have children to continue his family line as duty to family and linage was of greater importance than personal wants. (However within that context the Emperor if he had a son with one concubine already could demand that his male lover be his exclusively and since one's duty to the state overruled their duty to their family that lover sacrificing his linage for his king would have been seen as honorable.)
Scholar Pan Guangdan came to the conclusion that nearly every emperor in the Han Dynasty had one or more male sex partners. There are also descriptions of lesbians in some history books. It is believed homosexuality was popular in the Song, Ming, and Qing dynasties
In some areas, same sex love was particularly appreciated. Xie Zhaozhe (1567–1624) wrote that "from Jiangnan and Zhejiang to Beijing and Shanxi, there is none that does not know of this fondness." Even the European Jesuit missionaries—such as Matteo Ricci (1552–1610)—took note of this and what they deemed "unnatural perversions", distressed over its often open and public nature.
((Hinsch, Bret (1992). Passions of the Cut Sleeve. University of California Press))
Buddhist monasteries appear to have been early centres of homosexual activity in ancient Japan. It was popularly said that Kūkai, the founder of the Shingon Buddhist sect, introduced nanshoku into Japan after returning from Tang China in the 9th century. Anyone knowing about Buddhism knows that it believes in the chastity of everyone however enough monks seem to have felt their vows of chastity did not apply to same-sex relations that stories of affairs between monks and young acolytes, known as Chigo Monogatari were quite popular, Jesuits reported aghast on the 'sodomy' that occurred among Buddhist clergy.
In Europe homosexual marriage was permitted up until 300 C.E when it was outlawed by Christians.
((Theodosian Code))
However allegedly it continued happening (even within the Christian churches) until the 12th century.
Historian John Boswell argued that Adelphopoiesis, or brother-making, represented an early form of religious same-sex marriage in the Orthodox church, and Alan Bray saw the rite of Ordo ad fratres faciendum ("Order for the making of brothers"
wink as serving the same purpose in the medieval Roman Catholic Church.
In North America, among the Native Americans societies, it has taken the form of Two-Spirit-type relationships, in which some male members of the tribe, from an early age, heed a calling to take on female gender with all its responsibilities. They are prized as wives by the other men in the tribe, who enter into formal marriages with these Two-Spirit men. They are also respected as being especially powerful shamans.
Quote:
History argues against gay marriage. Modern secular psychology recognizes that men and women are psychologically and emotionally designed to complement one another.
Now that is a BLAITENT lie.
Quote:
In regard to the family, psychologists contend that a union between a man and woman in which both spouses serve as good gender role models is the best environment in which to raise well-adjusted children.
Lie
Quote:
Psychology argues against gay marriage.
Lie
Quote:
In nature/physicality, clearly, men and women were designed to “fit” together sexually.
Lie as well as the most sexually sensative part of the female body is on the outside of the body and best stimulated with a tongue, fingers or and don't ask me what the position is called but when two women mount each other on the side. A lesbian friend described it to me.
And for the male, their "g-spot" is located up their a**.
Quote:
With the “natural” purpose of sexual intercourse being procreation,
Also wrong as sex serves other functions as well not just pro-creative and marriage for humans is exceptionally unnatural as we are not biologically designed for monogomy
Quote:
clearly only a sexual relationship between a man and a woman can fulfill this purpose. Nature argues against gay marriage.
Only when you're lying about nature.
