And sex outside of marriage was a sin and that heterosexual marriages were not allowed. Remember this is a hypothetical question.

But you forget that we might just continue by getting converts from outside...Christians are always making false accusals about how gays recruit but this time we'd be doing it for God after all....makes all the difference to some.

yeah, I would just do what I think is right in my heart. If I am wrong then that is between me and God when it's my turn to be judged.

your question needs some serious refining. Even if the statement in the Bible about homosexuality being forbidden was not in there, it would still be wrong or at least suspect, considering the blessing of God comes when we are fruitful and multiply, and that God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve.
Plus one of the pillars of Christianity is tradition. It was tradition that decided what books would make it in the Bible anyways. So if there was a mostly universal tradition where homosexuality was considered a sin then it would be a sin.

Depends, is this in the NEW Testament? Was it said by Jesus, according to YOUR comments? See the Old Testament says that homosexuality is wrong. So God says it is wrong according to the Old Testament. God never changes. So if that is the case you could make the logic that the Bible isn't believable. Oh and for the record Sex outside of Marriage IS wrong, just most Christians don't bother to pay attention to that.

you would possibly want to have a level there. Now, the hot testomony epistles and Revelation do have verses that condemn homosexuality. (See Romans a million, yet also see Romans 2.) even with the undeniable fact that, is it plausible to make a large distinction between a gay affair (gay fornication or adultery) and gay marriage? "they do no longer enable human beings to get married. They manage them now to not devour particular meals. yet God created those meals." It would not say, "they don't enable particular human beings to get married." To my information, decrease back then, and up till very at the moment, marriage has been considered as a kin contract between a guy and a woman (or, in terms of polygamy, between a guy and a range of of different women persons). hence, after I see that passage about no longer allowing human beings to marry, i imagine of, as an party, the celibacy requirement of Catholic priest or of the Shaker community, or of regulations adversarial to miscegenation (between human beings of diverse races or ethnic communities). i don't believe of this refers to no matter if adult adult males can marry different adult adult males or women persons can marry different women persons. That reported, even with the very undeniable actuality that i'm no longer in want of gay marriage, i'd not bypass out of my thanks to end it. It galls me that Christians can get so up in hands about homosexuality, yet, till very at the moment, have yawned over downsizing, outsourcing, and different strategies that the very wealthy take advantage of and impoverish the unfavourable and center type. The Bible, i imagine, speaks a lot more desirable loudly and vehemently adversarial to economic injustice than adversarial to sexual misconduct.

If you are a Christian and it is tought by Christ then it would necessitate belief. Now woud they STILL believe? No, because the Christian race would have died out in the 2 thousand years since Christ's teachings do to their inability to procreate.

I guess if that's the way it was presented all along,then Christians would either accept that as their religion,or reject it as it is done today by many that don't agree with the present doctrines.

Yes. They would just find some passage that contradicts that and says their weird hetero sex was okay.
