I know this as been asked before, and I am looking for a point of view from the Christians that dont support gay marriage (but anyone is welcome to answer). I get that homosexuality is a sin, but so is re-marriage after a divorce. Why are people trying so hard to stop homosexuals from enjoying the same benefits and perks that "adulterors" get when they marry the second time? Shouldnt you also be protesting to ban second marriages?

Re-marriage is a sin. If a man divorces his wife, for ANY reason except adultery, it is a sin, and if either of them remarry, they are adulterors, and that is a sin.

Mathew 5:32
32But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery

Okay, I personally think that gay marriage should be recognized both politically and by society. And you can get remarried after a divorce if your spouse was unfaithful to you. That's the only reason given in the Bible everything else can be worked out by basic principals in the Bible but not adultery. As far as homosexuality being a sin it's not my place to judge anyone about what they do with their life that's for whatever god they believe ins' job. I have been a Christian for about 17 years now.

Remarriage is not a sin...but homosexuality is why? Because in the Bible the NIV it clearly states that in 1Corinthians 6:9, that you will not inter the Kingdom of God. As far as marriages Romans 7:2 -3. But you will also have to look at Hebrews 13:4 But what you really need to read is Genesis 1:27 God made Male and female. I will pray for you

I am a religious person, not a Christian but religious. My religion also looks down on homosexuality but I am all for gay marriage. I will not and do not support having religious people force their views unto others. People have the misconception that they may judge others. These judgmental people are also perverts because instead of seeing homosexuality as a natural occurrence, they see it as a sexual sin. Countless time have I heard anti gay people talk "about the nasty things those gays do in bed"
how perverted for people to think that way. I say they stop having those thought and move on with their life. If someone doesn't like gay people, they should just not be gay. A ban on gay marriage because of religious people today may equal a ban on rated R movies, nightclubs, fornication in the future. People should choose what they want to do in the free world, that's the purpose of this country.

I had not heard that second marriages were a sin. There are many innocent spouses who find themselves divorced because a straying husband or wife wants out of the marriage. Are they guilty of sin in this marriage? No. The straying spouse was. There are spouses of drug addicts, or alcoholics, or those who abuse their mates. Should the wronged partner stay in a marriage that harms them? Is it a sin to leave that marriage for those reasons? No. So, to my thinking, not all second marriages are a sin.
As for the sticky question of homosexuality, these days it is accepted by the majority of people because of intensive reeducation of society by those whose agenda is to make this lifestyle legal and acceptable. However, even if laws are rewritten, the Bible (God's law) does not accept homosexuality as anything other than sinful. In fact, the Bible calls this lifestyle an "abomination." No one but God can change the rules given to us when He decided to educate us about how we should live.
Theft is a sin. Even if the laws were changed to allow people to steal, it would still be a sin according to the Bible. Therefore, we might not be punished by man's law, but eventually, we would be punished by God's law (a much harder punishment, to my way of thinking). We were made to be pleasing to God. Sin makes us unpleasing to God. Never a good thing, even if we try to reeducate ourselves about acceptable lifestyles.
This does NOT mean that persecution of homosexuals should be allowed. Under no circumstances should anyone feel that he/she has the right to harm another because of their sexual preference. Keep in mind at all times that each of us has a special situation that we struggle with in our lives, whether others perceive it, or not. Not one of us has the right to look at another person and think we are "better."

I was married once - i do not see doing it again - I do not fully understand the Bibles take on marriage so it does not keep me from taking the plunge so to speak. I don't because I do not want to. I think he who believes in god and the bible and understands re-marrying is wrong and he does it then he sinned. i do not protest to stop gay anything because I am not gay so this part of the Bible really has nothing to do with me. For me to form an opinion on matters that do not concern me would pressure me into judging others that to me is a sin and if it should come to pass I think about marrying again then I will research and consult my Bible and if I understand it to be a sin I will follow my God My Bible because that is my heart.

Come now you can't comapre the two. Re-Marriage is not a sin. The only grounds for divorce is Adultery, and that is only if the innocent spouse is not forgiving of the transgression.

Divorce is only accepted for a limited reasons. The main is adultery. In that case you may remarry. Marriage is for life biblically.

There are 3 techniques on the problem... a million) Many "christians" will say that God condemns any variety of homosexuality -- acts, techniques, id. 2) some Christians believe it isn't a sin to "be gay", this is to % out as gay, and that the techniques/sights are organic... notwithstanding, God is hostile to any gay acts. that is the reliable Catholic position. 3) some Christians believe homosexuality is a organic version of the human species, and as such isn't condemned out excellent. what's condemned is male prostitution, and similar gender sexual kin alongside with idol worship. Loving, dedicated, monogamous relationships are literally not condemned. a lifeless ringer for different factors of Scripture, no longer each and every faith has a similar mind-set to this problem... the question you want to ask your self, after study and prayer, is what do you've faith?

Well....I don't see any adulterers marching down the streets with banners trying to convince people that what they are doing isn't sin.
If a person commits a sin, and confesses it to God, they are forgiven. Homosexuals do not believe they are sinning, therefore they have no desire to repent.
If a person gets a divorce and repents, they are forgiven. Yes, some people may remarry.....but they aren't telling me I'm a bigot for what I think the bible may say about it.
Quick answer to that one.

I don't think that second marriages are a sin in general. If you left your husband/wife for another person then yeah. I also don't care if homosexuals get married or not, the sin is being homosexual, marriage doesn't effect that.
