Looks like 99.5% of heterosexual marriages are violating the Bible lol

The premarital sex stuff is the great equalizer in the projections of the super holy, these days.

It's pathetic the SCOTUS ever legalized that to start with. Such a sign of a declining society.

Yes, I've read the Bible too. And I see you've avoided my question.

I didn't avoid your question. I responded to it by saying that I'm not a pragmatist when it comes to morality. It doesn't matter who their sins are directly affecting if it is morally repugnant to God. He sets the standard for morality.

quote:

Homosexuality isn't mentioned very much in the Bible. What is talked about a lot is adultery and (heterosexual) sex outside of marriage. Why? Because that sex creates human beings.
Actually it's because heterosexual sex is more prevalent, not merely because it can create babies.

Homosexuality is mentioned in the Bible, and it is condemned, so Christians are within their rights and duties to condemn it, as well. Just because other sins are also occurring doesn't mean we shouldn't also condemn the sin of homosexuality.

quote:

God knew a committed man and woman raising children together is the best way to do it. Look at the destruction in the black community because of unfettered heterosexual sex. And the normalization of single motherhood.

Not just committed, but married. A man and woman are supposed to enter into a covenant relationship because, as the NT shows us, marriage is a picture of Christ's relationship to His bride, the Church. Jesus has a people chosen for Himself and He will not leave them or forsake them, and He will purify them by His Spirit.

quote:

Homosexuality takes a HUGE backseat to those issues. But "Christians" really want to hate on some homos
Homosexual sex is a perversion against nature (God's created order). It's not a minor issue.

The other issues you mention are also problems that need to be addressed, but this isn't an either-or scenario where Christians are not allowed to condemn homosexuality as vile while other sins are being committed. Start a thread on divorce, fornication, and adultery and I'll gladly comment there, as well.

You do realize that command was for the priests of Israel, only, right? That command wasn't given to all people.

I think you should actually read what the text says before you try to make a point it isn't making.

Obergefell was clearly decided correctly, under the unambiguous language of the 14th Amendment.

SCOTUS was never going to overturn it. Anyone who genuinely believed otherwise was delusional.

Regardless of anyone's opinions on gay butt sex in Holy Scripture, "Equal Protection" is the trump card here.

So when will SCOTUS legitimize other perversions such as bestiality, pee freaks, scat freaks, and necrophilia the way it has legitimized f aggotry?

I never recall Jesus mentioning homosexuality. Did he?
And also, the Bible just about condemns any and everything at different points. Such as eating pork and shellfish. And working on Sundays. I don't see every rule being followed today that is in the Bible.
Isn't masturbation also considered a sin? Isn't probably 99% of humans guilty of that?

Over the years, I've heard several of my buddies tell stories of doing girls up the butt. Is that gay sex too? Is it just as perverted as two men doing anal?

Marriage under the law IS just a civil contract and regime between too people.

Religious people’s opposition to it is literally rooted in the fact that it uses the word “marriage” which is absolutely hilarious to me.


You get it, and I get it, but a lot of religious people don't get it.

In my opinion, we should let any number of consenting adults of either gender enter into civil contracts without any religious connotation.

Just make sure the contract specifies who gets to make life-ending decisions, who inherits what, what happens when someone wants out of the contract, and so forth.

Let the religious people determine who they want to recognize as being "married" without any state interference, i.e., requirement for any license or contract. But also make it clear to them that the church becomes responsible for dealing with the shitstorm that happens if the "marriage" does not work out.

Marriage actually started as more of a business contract than a religious one.


OK, yeah, I agree with that when you are looking way back into the past.

But marriage was described as a religious exercise in both the old and new testaments.

In the Middle Ages, the Pope had to approve of any marriage involving members of the European royal families, and the ceremonies had to be blessed by priests. That was one of the things that led to the split between the Catholic and Anglican churches.

In the minds of puritanical / evangelical and Catholic Americans, ALL marriages are supposed to be blessed by their god, otherwise they are not legitimate. And because those people have been politically dominant for the past couple of hundred years, they instituted their religious rules as laws overseen by the state.

My view is that the religious and civil aspects need to be completely separated. Let the churches define marriage however they want.

And if 2 or more people of either gender want to enter into a civil arrangement, the religious folks will just have to accept it.

That means same-sex and communal (multiple men and women) unions should be legal as long as the rules are documented in a contract between all of the involved parties.

I know that would blow a lot of people's minds, but that is how it should be.
