why do christians think that gay marriages are any different than merriages performed in a church and?

Question

sin is sin, why would any man of god,,want to marry anyone who is not of that faith or belong to that church.to me this is a mock wedding.gay marriages are no different tham marriages of straight people if they arent christians,,any one that is performing an act on someone else that is not normal to Gods words is a sin,,so what the big deal with the gays

Answer 1

Simply' It's just unatural.

Answer 2

In the bible, God says that the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the believing husband, and vice-versa. When a man and a woman join together in holy matrimony, spiritually they become one flesh. So if the husband is holy, then the wife becomes holy, and becomes a child of God with her husband. Two people of the same sex cannot become one flesh spiritually, therefore one cannot sanctify the other because they do not become one spiritually. God honors marriage, thats why a christian can marry a sinner.

Answer 3

You are right in theory. Sin is sin. but straight people have a hard time understanding homosexual feelings, for whatever reason, and find it to be more of a sexual deviance rather than a sin. Most aren't worried about the sin part, they believe the life style is perverted and sick.
I guess the point is Christians will accept sins that they understand (sex before marriage, drinking excessive amounts of alcohol) but are not willing to accept sins they can't understand.

(I'm not speaking for myself. My theory is live and let live, but my (christian) family is pretty un-accepting of homosexual people, my grandmother said "In the old testament is says to stone homosexuals to death, but I would hate to do that they are still people." I have to say I was disturbed by her saying this to me)

Answer 4

Well correct me if I'm wrong but if two MEN are getting married then I believe that is very different from 99.99% of all marriages in the world. Like it or not, it isn't yet considered normal by any standard.

Answer 5

I think they go by what they believe. It started with Adam & Eve, not Adam & Steve. They probably believe today we should keep up the "religion" of marriage of man & wife and not man & man.
Don't take it the wrong way, I'm all for gay marriages, it doesn't hurt anyone and I have nothing against it.

Answer 6

Quit judging other people. I love it how some christians talk about everyone elses "sin" and pass judgement on them. Just doing that is so damn hippocritical. Do what you want man and I'm not telling you what you're doing is wrong but maybe you should ask yourself "wwjd?" lol, oh yeah, and Jesus was the world's greatest liberal - if you don't beleive me read the bible and see how he lived his life.

Answer 7

There is nothing in the BIble that condemns someone who has the authority to marry a couple from doing so even if they are of a different faith. However, the BIble does condemn homosexuality. If you don't care what the Bible says, then my answer won't satisfy you.

Answer 8

Even without the religious argument, it comes down to the human being. Men are designed for sexual intercourse with women for reproduction. So yes, unnatural is the word I would use.

Answer 9

I do not know too much about gay marriages, but I will tell you that I went out with the preacher's wife one time and that was the best night of my life.
Who says protestant women do not cheat.

Answer 10

ok ill try to explain it the best I can. and try not to insult you . In the Bible it talks about a man and his wife. not a man and his man or woman and her woman . matter of fact in the bible it says that a man should not lie down with another man lkie he would a woman . or a woman should not lay down with another woman like she was a man. So if the bible says it's wrong then it's wrong. sorry
