Interesting read y'all.
Marriage is a civil contract so the gubmint can say what it is or what it isn't at any time. We the people elected those who make the laws here in these United States, so that's question at hand.

It bothers me to see Christians harp on one sin that's easy to harp on, while at the same time making every effort to excuse and dismiss and justify another related sin, just because one sin is easy to harp on, and the other isn't. If we really care about the holiness and sanctity of marriage, then let's act like it. Let's follow all of what the Bible teaches about marriage, not just the parts that are easy.

Context of the statement is usually important but remember LG is trying to justify homosexual marriage. He got a confirmation from an unbeliever/lawyer James so it's settled. Lol.

Lol no. And you know I'm not. You're trying to twist the words of Jesus, and flat out deny what he said.

LG I just don't think you are putting into context Jesus' statements. Deuteronomy 24:1-4 would be the context of such a discussion. Pretty lenient for the grounds of divorce. You think maybe the Jews of the time used this leniency to legally put away this wife because he desires another?

Loosegoose is pretty close to the green. Genesis 2:24 is Scripture's guide about a man leaving his father and mother and being joined to one wife, and becoming one flesh.
Theology deeply debates the Matthew passage and always will. Believers should ask themselves why do they feel compelled to judge others while they themselves have been forgiven by Christ's Redeeming Work? Paul's writings were perfectly clear as to no longer acting as the unredeemed do.

Blessings,
Mark

Mark June I don't think believing in the biblical definition of marriage is judgmental. What a person does or does not do is between him/her and their Maker.
I try not to lean on my own understanding but often fail. I guess it really makes no sense to me that, for example, an abused wife divorces her abuser and then remarries is committing adultery. It just seems wrong and contradictory to the love of Christ. His ways are not my ways so as Posco mentioned I'll have to rely on Grace being sufficient.

That's a heartbreaking story.

One of the first steps in grooming is to desensitize the victim by justifying the action, even with a warped logic.

I gotta be done with this debate. It's something.i feel passionately about, growing up in a 3rd marriage household that was bizarre to say the least. But I don't think we're all gonna agree completely, and it's.not worth alienating people over. Christ is king, salvation comes through faith and not works, and we can all agree on that I'm sure,so that's really the most important thing.

In this discussion while many things was discussed, yet we didn't get down to root of the problem. Some smarter than me have advocated that homosexual is not about sex, but about power.

Dang LG I had another scenario to ask you about. Oh well as I said earlier James gave his insight so it's settled and you win. smile

Power as in dominating their own sex. Yes I've known several over the years. I had two school teachers when I was in high school, one of which was always trying to get me to come to his house for a variety of jobs. I was smarter than that, even for a silly sophomore. I saw him about 20 years later at a sale where he was selling some equipment. He was dying from aids and looked like a skeleton. I felt nothing but sorry for him. We had one in one of our churches for 40 years that finally succumbed to disease. I knew one that was a brother of a friend that died from aids, in his last days his sister brought him to church and he repented of his sins before he died. That was in the days when no one knew much about how contagious HIV was and church attendance dropped about half during that 6 months or so, particularly the kids. My brother-in-law had a niece that had a lesbian partner. I met them at a 4th July party, she also had a 10 or 12 yr old son from a marriage. A year or so later his grandma died and he wore a wig and a dress to his grandmas funeral. His cousin sat 2 seats from him and didn't think he had attended until his uncle told him he was 2 seats from him. I knew of one that molested my 11 year nephew and his friend on a state park where they was fishing near their home. No body told me anything about it til the perv was in the pen. I was not a born again Christian in those days, so lucky for him and me. If that's not enough I can name some more.

Then if want some history, there was Queen Vashti that was the great-granddaughter of King Nebuchadnezzar II (both abusive) And of course the gays hero Alexander. Then the homo cultures such as the Spartans. There is way too much to go into, and I'm thinking you would lose interest, so I'll stop here.

I dont really understand homosexuality but I no longer think its a choice. It least most of the time and likely all the time.

Those of you who believe its always a choice, what harm do you perceive that choice causes others?

JS,
Agreed.

If we're talking Genesis 2:24.
If we're talking about Matthew 19, scholars debate but I fall on the teachings of Jesus being; divorce is a man-made institution. It's not of Heaven.

Blessings!

I don't understand why so many people spend so much time and energy wound up about what other people are doing or not doing.

If a girl wants to marry another girl, who cares? People can have opinions but those opinions should stop short of telling other people how to live their lives.

I would think most of y'all are comfortable with God sorting it out in the end.

Come on man, they are the ones that are going to the 'promised land'. This is the religion that lets you into heaven after you have raped 100+ kids as long as you 'repent'. Should you be one that leads a good life, help everyone that you can and overall are a better person than most 'Christians', you are going to the bad place (if you didn't repent).

I am not living my life in the hope of the next one. I am going to live my one and only life the best way that I can. I do not need to be told what is right or wrong. I know this. I do what is right because it is right, not because I was told to do so. We all know what is right and wrong. Some (many) need something to lead them. I am glad there is this crutch for them.

FYI; I would fight to the end to defend Christianity (that is what our country was founded on). But there is no way there is a 'god' that would accept a baby raper but not a person that helped hundreds of people but did not 'believe'.

I feel bad for those that need religion to be good people, but, I am glad that it is there for them to be good people.
