God is the author of and defines marriage .................... Jesus: .. But from the beginning of creation .. God made them male and female .. for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother .. and the two shall become one flesh .. so they are no longer two .. but one flesh .. what therefore God has joined together .. let no man separate ---- Mark 10:6-9 ------------------------------------------ the Apostle Paul: .. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and shall be joined to his wife .. and the two shall become one flesh ... this mystery is great .. but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church .... nevertheless .. each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself .. and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband ---- Ephesians 5:31-33 ---------------------------------------- God's view of homosexuality .. part 1 God's view of homosexuality .. part 2 Homosexuality and the Campaign for Immorality God's Plan for the Gay Agenda ---------------------------------------- What does the Bible say? The Bible--as God's Word--reveals God's moral character, and it shapes the morality of the Christian. The Bible has much to say about homosexuality: --------------------------------------- Lev. 18:22 , "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." --------------------------------------- Lev. 20:13, "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death. Their bloodguiltness is upon them." --------------------------------------- 1 Cor. 6:9-10, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." --------------------------------------- Rom. 1:26-28, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, 27and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error. 28And just as they did not see fit to acknowledge God any longer, God gave them over to a depraved mind, to do those things which are not proper." --------------------------------------- With such clear statements against homosexuality, it is difficult to see how different groups can say the Bible supports homosexuality. But they try by redefining love, marriage, sex, homosexuality, etc., in order to accomplish their goal. But God created us in His image "male and female" (Gen. 1:21), and He created marriage, declaring that "a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh," (Gen. 2:24). --------------------------------------- The Bible is a powerful book, and because of that, the homosexuals often try to make the Bible agree with their agenda. But it doesn't work. The Bible does not support homosexuality, nor does it support gay marriage as we have seen from the Scriptures above. --------------------------------------- Unlike other sins, this sexual sin has a judgment administered by God Himself: He gives them over to their passions (Rom. 1:26-28). This means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins. As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance. Without repentance, there will be no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation. Side: I agree.

Our species requires an enormous amount of care, while young, as compared to most other species. As a result of this we have adopted social bonds that keep mated pairs together long enough to ensure the survival of our offspring. Marriage is a formalized example of this needed bonding. As such it is not needed in a situation where there are no offspring to protect and provide for. In our societies, marriage has come to provide certain other social benefits to couples who have joined for reasons other than rearing offspring, such as love or companionship. These other social and even monetary benefits should rightly be extended to any and all such parings. Side: I disagree.
Breeding is a human right. But marriage instead is a social construct cultures invented both regarding breeding and resources. So marriage is related to a human right but not the actual human right itself. Regardless, I do personally support homosexual marriage as well as heterosexual marriage. Side: I disagree.
It is the biological purposes of being alive. Arguably it has more relevance to why we're alive than the rights to privacy or free expression or possessing weapons. That's not to say your rights have been violated if you don't get to reproduce. It's merely acknowledging that society taking the right completely off the table, such as telling a specific subgroup of its citizens they cannot breed, would be violating a human right. Side: I disagree.
