Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #1In case anyone is wondering... The avatar quote states the following:
"I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness."

Post #11But He did/does apparently. He lumps them right in there with thieves:
"Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 6

Thus, it sounds like you would answer as the following:
Is same sex marriage a sin? yes
If so, where does the Bible say this? It does not say directly, I assume so based upon what God says about adjacent subject matter.
Further, why is it a sin? It offends god because this is not god's intended contract.
Are the above answers in red acceptable? If not, feel free to adjust where need-be...

...‘You shall not lie with a man, as with a woman. That is detestible...
Lev. 18:20-24
I think that is why there was no need to say anything about gay marriage.

Post #13Okay. I agree.

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #15I think it's pretty reasonable given that marriage is for two people to have sex and gay sex is explicitly prohibited. I would rather blame the subject matter, not its followers, who do not make such a terribly great leap.Miles wrote: ↑Thu Sep 29, 2022 8:33 pmActually, the point of posting the quote was to show that even Bible Thumpers acknowledge that the Bible does not explicitly mention gay marriage/same-sex marriage.

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #16Saying gay marriage is "stupid" and there's "no intelligent reason" for it is stupider and no intelligent reasoner.
So what if a man marries him a gigachad? Ain't nobody asking you to officiate.
What about two hot chicks? Ever watch that movie called "Bound"? That right there's reason enough to get them two married, in the hopes of recording the honeymoon.
I might be Teddy Roosevelt, but I ain't.

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #17Noted.
Wouldn't gay marriage be practicing homosexuality? Hence, is gay marriage considered a sin?

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #18"Practicing homosexual" implies homosexual sex. And while almost all marriages do involve sex it's not a requirement.

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #19Interesting. Speaking of 'implies', is it implied that same sex marriage is a sin, or not? It has to be one or the other.

Re: Is Gay Marriage Considered a Sin?
Post #20In as much god doesn't say a thing about same-sex marriage---never mentions the concept---one can't realistically say he's against it. In fact, considering god is omniscient he would certainly be aware same-sex marriages would be taking place in the future, and as an astute homophobic ruler he would have made a law against them. However, he never made any such law. God remains mute, which means same-sex marriages simply aren't important enough to put on his "Sin List," or even disapprove of. So carry on same sex couples. Step up to the alter and commit to your vows. God obviously doesn't care. HOWEVER, this does not mean you're free to have sex with one another,---for some reason god really hates gay sex; lesbian sex not so much---because you can't without facing death at the hands of your fellow villagers. So just cool the sex and get on with whatever else married homosexuals do; watching football, washing dishes, paying bills, and whatever.POI wrote: ↑Sat Oct 01, 2022 6:41 pmInteresting.
