"Be fruitful and multiply." Isn't that what it says? So is it better for a man and a woman not to have kids even though they are married or for a gay couple to either adopt kids or have a surrogate mother. They may be fruity but they've multiplied.

It is hard to say but I think that if we were all ment to multiply there wouldnt be issues with fertility.

the command to be fruitful and multiply was directed specifically at Noah, his 3 sons, and their respective wives, not to every couple since then. If God wanted all people to "multiply," He would not allow infertility, sterility, and an unequal gender ratio to exist. And as long as we are referencing the Bible to support our claims, there is a verse that IS directed at everyone stating "Do not lie with a man as one does with a woman, for that is detestable" (Lev. 18:22, NIV). Now I'm not going to start bashing gay people or pass judgment on who is right about what, but I am going to suggest you get your facts straight. Oh, and a gay couple who adopts or has a surrogate mother has not multiplied, they have provided a home for a child that can not possibly belong to both of them, an honorable thing, but by no means does it make the two of them biologically parents of this child.

Well, in bible times, if a woman did not have children it was considered a mark of disgrace for a woman. This is why the prophet samuel's mother prayed so earnestly for a child. Today the societal norms are so different that it really is up to you and your spouse. I am against gay couples adopting children.

i imagine he potential to be an effective guy to you yet deep down he has a crappy personality in spite of being Mr. top on the exterior to you. person-pleasant is person-pleasant, He hasn't been person-pleasant and there is no excuse and this isn't a small ingredient. today he's likely on his ideal habit. pay interest honey, this guy sometime will cheat back. you're so blinded by technique of love you pick to ignore the glaring pink flags. If the coolest in him is solid adequate so that you could settle for that he will maximum in all probability cheat contained in the destiny, then bypass ahead with this for now understanding what you're stepping into. in my view, i understand it isn't basic, yet why spend 5-10 years with someone who became a cheat from the starting up to waste time and get cheated on back?

The bible does say that we should be fruitful but that doesnt meen we have to have kids, God was talking to Adam and Eve so this aplies to the first to people, not to every man and woman, and gays shouldnt be aloud near kids (no offence) but its not very nice for a child to have to un-natural parents. plugs go with sokets, plugs dont fit together.

I guess if everyone went by what the bible says then we would all have a gazillion kids. And who can afford that these days? Not to mention we are already overpopulated.
To procreate, right?
Well, guess what, times have changed since the bible was written, and it's time someone revises it.

lol...ummm, I think people should choose whatever they want to do regarding procreation. Whether they are gay or straight, they should be allowed to have kids if they want, and if a couple chooses not to parent children, that is certainly NOT a sin.

According to the bible,the reason to marry was to have children it did not say anything about gays not being able to have them.

That was in the beginning. There were no people on earth then. But it does not mean be "fruity" in any sense.
