Question: Is gay marriage sinful?

I replied to a quote from Genesis.

People’s opinions don’t really matter in light of God.

Mmhm. Jesus spoke in such depth about it.

Sorry, dude, it seems people, even Christians, are moving away from that interpretation.

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

So God is dependent on people’s opinions?

I think you must have pressed the wrong button, out shows up as a reply to my post.

Looks like most people don’t agree with your interpretation of God is all.

And yeah, I don’t think God thinks homosexuality is bad anymore. Just like shellfish and clothes of two fibres.

It shows up on mine just fine. I think your phone has problems since you mentioned something like this on another thread.

Marriage is a social construct, there is no natural marriage. Marriages can be formed up of multiple men, multiple women, same sex or opposite sex. Through history and across culture we have seen a tonne of different formats.

I suppose if you think that God has no (name removed by moderator)ut or say into what a marriage is or whether it is merely a “social construct,” then perhaps you are correct. However, Jesus clearly stated otherwise.

If Jesus was, indeed, God – as he claimed to be – then it would be true in an absolute sense that marriage is NOT merely a social construct and can only between one man and one woman “from the beginning” despite what some individuals have done “through history and across culture.”

In terms of sex; homosexual sex has also been going on for as long as we can trace. It happens in nature, it happens all across cultures and times. I don’t think it can be a mockery when it’s likely as old as the thing it’s mocking.

Well, theft, murder, rape, lying and all kinds of pernicious acts have “been going on for as long as we can trace,” so that is hardly proof of moral legitimacy.

You can think what you like so whatever.

On that other thread you couldn’t see the icon. I’ve checked other people and it works on chrome and firefox; what browser do you use?

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

I am using Chrome.

Ah, quoting out of context. Old trick but still a good one I see. Harry, that was about the phrase “mocking”, not morality.

 

[OsculeturMeOsculo]

You were quoting me out of context
so really?

 

[Alex337]

Okay, so if you look at your post at the right corner of it right near where it says how many minutes ago it was posted you should see a user icon. By pressing that icon you can see which post it was responding too.

When I press it it shows the post that has the quote to Genesis.

Oh?

You didn’t, then, attempt to legitimize same sex marriage by claiming it existed through history and across cultures?

What did you mean to state, then?

I was firstly combating the phrase “mocking”. People said it was mocking other marriage, but marriage has existed in so many forms that that idea is silly, savvy?

Homosexuality isn’t immoral not because it’s existed for so long but because it hurts no one and helps many.

When I press it it shows the post that has the quote to Genesis.

So the icon at least does exist this time, that’s positive. Later I’ll try to remember to screenshot it for you.

The fact that national governments and voters have endorsed an abomination doesn’t make it any less of an abomination.

Sorry, friend, people no longer think loving couples are evil.

So-called “loving couples” can do many things, including evil things.

If “love” is merely defined by emotional attachment to another person, or strong feelings for the other person, it can quite easily become divorced from a moral view of existence.

If “love” simply means emotionally supporting what the other person wants or desires, then it is potentially quite a different matter to willing the actual good for that person.

Sometimes actual love will stand opposed to what the beloved currently wants for themselves.

Love requires maturity and a clear moral view of reality.

It isn’t clear that it “hurts” no one. I am pretty certain many have been hurt by homosexuality.

Whether or not it objectively “helps” many is, likewise, debatable. “Help,” in the sense you seem to be using it, is a very transitory phenomenon.

Short term, what appears like “help” may, in fact, be harm. Think of parents who spoil their children. They think they are “helping” because they feel good about what they are doing in the immediate term, but the actual harm only shows up much later.

That fact that some churches have embraced same sex “marriages” only demonstrates that said churches follow their own twisted, distorted path. When a church teaches a diabolical lie as truth, it is no longer following Jesus Christ. It is following a false, man made idol, a god “made” in the image of prideful, sinful man.
