Answer 1

technically you are not right. It is like saying murder is a sin but murdering your wife is not?

Answer 2

Gay civil partnership is not sin. If you do not follow a religion then it is not a sin, and even if you follow Christianity, then nothing in the bible says it is a sin. In fact, Jesus befriends a gay couple in the bible!

All I see on this column is a load of religious idiots who have basically swallowed what they have been told.

If you use the bible to condemn homosexuals, I will use it against you! Homosexuality is not a choice,so I am not "choosing" to sin, so cannot be judged as a sinner. God is gay as He made man in his image, so you are condemning God. Any of you thought of that?!

The bible was written by men two thousand yars ago, so times have changed, and so do you. You still eat meat on Fridays, and eat food that is banned in the Old testament such as shell fish, pork etc, so if you will not follow them scriptures, how can you then judge others using scripure as your evidence and means to "prove" your prejudice? Hypocrites!

Someone also mentioned that children need two parents so gay "marriage" is wrong. First, who said that gay people will already have or want children? Second, all research shows that children of a gay couple are not negatively affected in any way what so ever. Science, not blind faith!! Thirdly, I grew up without a Dad,and if you think I am gay shows that it affected me negatively, then ask my straight, intelligent, hardworking, popular, kind and generous brother if he agrees!!!

Look at these sites before judging people and throwing around your religious opinions.

Answer 3

Would gay marriage involve the act of homosexuality? :P If it does, then yes, technically it is a sin.

That said, one might ask why gay marriage is necessary. If it accords basic civil rights to those involved, I see it more of a civil rights issue, rather than a religious issue.

As an example, if it accords the right of a homosexual to visit a dying partner in the hospital for example, I see no wrong in that. No person (gay or otherwise) should be denied the right to visit their loved ones at times like this. The same applies for property dispensation via wills etc.

I think the issue is often blurred because there is no separation of church from state in cases like these. Just my two cents worth anyway.

First of, "marriage" is a religious insitution, and as much as I abhor organized religion in pretty much any form, they've got a right to descide who and who doesn't get married. It's sort of like if I have a club and I only admit redheads. That's why we have the seperation of church and state; the government can't tell the church what to do (provided it doesn't break any laws - you know, like having sex with children, that sort of thing), and vice versa.

Hpwever, marriage in terms of a contract recognized by sate, local and federal government should be accessable to all people, straight or gay. You don't have to call it "marriage", as, again, that's a religious term. But every two people are entitled to the same rights as anyone else.

So, see, we've removed the religous problem from the argument,. Now if you still want to continue to deny anyone their rights, I suggest you move to Kortha Korea, where it seems they're good at that sort of thing.

Answer 5

Gay marriage is a sin.
If you don't believe me, Read this:
People cannot decide on their own what is or is not a sin.
Our society is so warped these days, that many people don't consider anything a sin.
What they consider a sin or don't consider a sin doesn't count. If you listen to a fool who's opinion is against natural law, you don't get the truth.

4. There are absolutely no grounds for considering homosexual unions to be in any way similar or even remotely analogous to God's plan for marriage and family. Marriage is holy, while homosexual acts go against the natural moral law. Homosexual acts “close the sexual act to the gift of life. They do not proceed from a genuine affective and sexual complementarity. Under no circumstances can they be approved”.(4)

Sacred Scripture condemns homosexual acts “as a serious depravity... (cf. Rom 1:24-27; 1 Cor 6:10; 1 Tim 1:10). This judgment of Scripture does not of course permit us to conclude that all those who suffer from this anomaly are personally responsible for it, but it does attest to the fact that homosexual acts are intrinsically disordered”.(5) This same moral judgment is found in many Christian writers of the first centuries(6) and is unanimously accepted by Catholic Tradition.

Nonetheless, according to the teaching of the Church, men and women with homosexual tendencies “must be accepted with respect, compassion and sensitivity. Every sign of unjust discrimination in their regard should be avoided”.(7) They are called, like other Christians, to live the virtue of chastity.(8) The homosexual inclination is however “objectively disordered”(9) and homosexual practices are “sins gravely contrary to chastity”.(10)

Answer 6

You assume that a gay relationship can be considered a marriage in the eyes of God. If a gay couple bonds themselves to one-another in some ceremony but abstain from sex, they are not married in the eyes of God. If they do not abstain from sex, then they are homosexual. Technically, you are not right. In the eyes of God, marriage is between a man and a woman. If you don't care what God thinks, then the question of sin is irrelevant

Answer 7

Let's forget the religious angle - plenty of other people have already jumped onto that soap-box.
Biologically speaking, as every schoolchild was taught (in the days when schoold taught anything at all) "The primary goal of every living organism is that it seeks to reproduce its species".
so, queers ARE abnormal and, if left to themselves, become extinct.
The only way the queers can survive is to corrupt others. It's not a loving relationship but more a promiscuous behaviour pattern.

There are treatments, chemical castration, psychological counselling etc., but far and away the best national policy is to lock these people away to avoid cross contamination with the "normal" element of society.

Answer 8

It's still a sin, you're not going to marry someone your not going to have sex with and why would you want to? Anyway the act of it is a sin you are right. I think the whole marriage would be a sin, I don't know why. Thank you very much.

Answer 9

The Bible condemns all acts - whether sexual or not - whereby a person harms his neighbour evilly.

So the act of homosexuality in itself is not a sin. Neither driving a car. But you could drive a car to kill someone, you could drive a car to do an act of charity, or you could drive a car for pleasure!!

It is the same for killing - it can be murder, self-defence, or a warranted act if in the public interest.

Not even the Roman Catholic church condemns anyone from giving military service, going to war and the ensuing loss of life.. but it always goes boooo for homosexuality! The problem is that most of these "holier than thou" Christians are so superficial that they fail to understand Jesus's Gospel.

Answer 10

The Bible mostly mentions a phrase

Men laying with men as men lay with women.

The Bible also does mention Like should be with like!

Marriage is something each state, country and church is going to have to decide on a case by case basis.

Remember some churches will not marry outsiders. A Catholic church will generally not allow a full church wedding if both the Bride and Groom are NOT catholics.

It's a sovern right to set your own rules.

Answer 11

The bible's story of David and Jonathan shows what is closest to a gay union two men, this however seemed to be a private rather than a public relationship. In no way is this referred to a sinful in the text:

The relationship between the two men is addressed with the same words and emphasis as loving mixed-sex relationships in the Hebrew Testament. When they are alone together, David confides that he has "found grace" in Jonathan's eyes. Throughout the passages, David and Jonathan consistently affirm and reaffirm their love and devotion to each other. Jonathan is willing to betray his father, family, wealth, and traditions for David.

The covenant made between the two men strengthens a romantic rather than political or platonic interpretation of their relationship. At their first meeting, Jonathan strips himself before the youth, handing him his clothing, remaining naked before him. When they first make their covenant, not long after their first meeting, the reason supplied is simply because Jonathan "loved [David] as his own soul." (1 Sam. 18:3). Each time they reaffirm the covenant, love is the only justification provided. Additionally, it should be observed that the covenants and affectionate expressions were made in private, rather than publicly as would a political bond.
