Christians....Adultery vs. Homosexuality....?

Question

Ive been thinking. Why are some Christians so against homosexual marrage, if they also support remarriage? Remarriage is adultery. Not all people divorce with the Biblical exception (unfaithfulness), so in those cases, should we also ban re-marriage?

I divorced, and not for the Biblical reasons, and remarried just last month. Am I as "bad" as a homosexual?

I am a Christian by the way. So if you feel the need to tell me I am not one, or am not a real one, you dont need to. God and I have it all worked out.

Answer 1

I'm not against it in the sense that America was founded to give people freedom to choose what they want to do with their lives. My mom left my dad and remarried, and likewise, so did he. My dad is the best man I've ever known, a great man of God. I don't look on him any less ~ how could I? Ultimately it's not my place to decide what is acceptable and what isn't.....that's why I usually stay out of conversations like this one ~ they're tough! :)

Answer 2

Remarriage is NOT Adultery ! Homosexuality is!

Part of the reason we are here on earth is to marry and have an Eternal Companion (Eternal Marriage). No, you should not go around willy nilly get married, divorced, an remarried but just because a marriage did not work out does not mean that you should never get remarried.

A Homosexual relationship is against the laws of god. It is part of what is happening to break down the family unit.

If after a divorce you find someone of the opposite sex who you want to spend the rest of your life with then, yes, get re-married.

I hope this helps.

Your right, adultery is very bad, and divorce without unfaithfulness is a sin. Maybe most people consider it the lesser of 2 evils. However, homosexual marriage would stumble others far more and just the act is considered derogatory. If people remarry without a scriptural reason, then that's something they have to repent with God, but since your already married, you must now stick with your new partner. I don't think the other act is going to be forgivable unless u quit doing it. 1 Corinthians 6; 9 - 11

Funny, this is one of the problems I had with the church (just one, there were MANY) But my ex-husband who was on the worship team was having an affair with our pastor's daughter (that was only his second affair, he had a third affair after that and is now married to the woman who was his third affair) When everything blew up, and they found out about him (the daughter was only 17 at the time, he was 36) I had "biblical" reason to divorce him. The pastor and his wife treated me like I had the freakin plague! they were awful to me. The pastors wife told me that I was "damaged" and should not marry again. There was a guy in church that liked me and the pastors wife told me I wasn't good enough for him because I was divorced. Nice, huh. I said all that to tell you my friend, to not let anyone judge you! Also, I see nothing wrong with homosexual marriage, and I really don't see how it takes away from heterosexual marriage. My uncle and his boyfriend have been together for over 10 years and love each other very much.. Best wishes hon! :)

Answer 5

I was against homosexuality even as a non-Christian. Putting things UP the rectum went against common sense to me not to mention all the medically proven problems associated with this.

As for divorce and remarriage, the bible clearly outlines reasons allowed for divorce. Remarriage comes with it's own set of problems especially when children are involved. If you don't follow the bible, why do you care what others think?

Answer 6

Hello Diamond,
You`ve asked a VERY good question my lady! You are not condemned by the way. The two topics you`ve listed Remarriage and Homosexuality into two separate realms. Understanding sin is sin right but sexual sins are referred to as sins performed within your body the temple of God. All other sins are an outward expression or outside of the body. Maybe this doesnt click just yet. But the natural sexual role instilled from God as He created us is to be entered into with a man and a woman and to be a couple joined together as one and to have children and fill the earth. When the unnatural sexual elemnt is involved with man and man or woman and woman then nature it`s self is not able to inter into the relationship as a reckognizable union. There is no possible way for procreation to take place and the sexual element is completely unnatural in that sodomy is the only way for sexual penetration to be accomplished. Of the five or so types of love Eros or errotic love is natural in a hertosexual man/female relationship, nature is able to move accordingly because of the physical design God has established, (right). I`ve been married before and divorced not for the Biblical reasons and I`m an Ordained Minister of the Gospel. Some folks don`t think I`m qualified but God Qualifies the Called regardless. The homosexual has to struggle moment by moment day to day and seek others of like mindedness to try and feel normal. It`s a frustrating thing for so many of them daily as they try to fill that God size hole in their spirit with all of the stuff they seek, that goes for all humans though. Only God can fill the void they desperately need to fill to find love and acceptance. The scriptures are clear on the homosexuals future judgement. Theres no way to argue the the Word of God. The argument is not with me but with the Lord if someone dares to do so. He will forgive them and He will help them come out of homosexuality. My exwife later in the marriage told me she had been a lesbian and I felt that she was still having those tenances and was unable to be a partner more so didnt desire to be a hertosexual partner. That was many years ago. You are are a child of God though my dear Diamond. And you are forgiven don`t ever allow those label makers to stick a label on your back as an adultress they will will try but snatch it off and keep going in the name of Jesus.
Have a blessed life sweet heart!
Jim

Answer 7

Neither you or homosexuals are bad. Its a big misunderstanding that some Christians as well as others have about sin. Sin is sin. Cursing God is the same level of sin as murder. One is no more than the other. And we are ALL sinners and just because we "sin" does not make us "bad", just makes us sinners.

Your or my divorce, someone else's sexual preference, whatever, are not up for judgement by my fellow Christians or anyone else...its between the person and God (oh yeah, I know some "Christians" and some "NOT-Christians" judge anyway).

Jesus gave us the all time, covers it all commandments to love God and to love our neighbor as we do ourselves. There is no asterick with a caveat at the bottom of the scripture that excludes any group or any sin, just we gotta love everyone, even if we do not like what they do. He also told us not to go poking around to get a splinter out of someone else's eye when we have a log in ours (thats sorta like, whoever is without sin can cast the first stone).

Thats it, that is the extent of my witness, testimony and preaching, lol. I mean it too!

Answer 8

If not for unfaithfulness or abuse, then no. You're worse. A vow is a vow, it is a life-binding promise. There may not be a god in my book, but breaking a vow is still a big NO-NO in my atheistic moral book.

There is an old teaching in many religions and philosophies: It is better not to make a promise than to make a promise that you cannot or will not keep.

If you cannot keep your first promise, why compound your error by making the same promise a second time? How many times before you realize what an oathbreaker you've allowed yourself to become?

If gay marriage somehow became legal in this country, you better believe I'd be DANGED careful up front over who I knelt beside at the ceremony and knew that when I made the oath in front of witnesses, "I surrender myself, and accept what is mine," and that collar gets locked on... I'm ready to bear with it and never walk away.

Answer 9

No, that does not make you a bad person period.
And homosexuality isn't evil either. Everyone has the right to love whomever they want, requardless of any boundaries.
Love has no boundaries and can break through any and all boundaries and barriers. Homosexuality merely proves that love knows no boundaries and can always be found.
To me, niether one is bad. Everyone has rights and ideas that are not supposed to be violated by anyone, like love and religion.
I hope this helped. And have a nice day.

P.S.
I'm not homosexual in any way, i just beleive that everyone has the rights to do as they wish and love who ever they wish without being put down for it. That's not right and you aren't a bad person simply because you remarried.
I mean, it's what your heart desired and the hearts is almost never wrong.

Answer 10

First of all mankind has corrupted the teachings of God for thier own beliefs. I do not think God has any problems with homosexuals. I have all kinds of evidence to back this up; however it doesn't really have bearing on your question besides the same bearing that remarriage is sinfull. I don't believe either one of them is.

However according to the Christian religions both are very wrong. They don't comment on remarriage that often, but it is in thier Bibles.

To better explain my beliefs on this subject; it is easier to explain my beliefs in the Christian Bibles. It is edited truth. In other words they first wrote the truth down, then took somethings away that would hurt the church, added some things (like homosexual, Gods anger, ect. ect.) This is the Bible we know.

However I do have good news for you. The "True Bible" is easy to find and easy to understand. It's actually hidden in plain site. The next time you read your Bible, read it with your heart and not your head. It doesn't matter which Bible you read. I do this quiet often and read things that are not even written in the Bible, and seen truths behind a lot of lies. Try it and see for yourself. Again it doesn't matter which Bible you read.


So to answer your question from my understanding niether you or homosexuals are "bad".

I hope this helps
