Okay, I have a theory. I am all for homosexuality. I am a straight guy. When the Church says homosexuality is a sin, they are wrong. Yet the Church is supposed to be married to Jesus, like the Wedding ceremony in Revelation. Since Jesus is obviously a guy, doesn't that make the church female? If the church was male, it would be what they fear: HOMOSEXUAL! Women should be allowed to be priests. This would strengthen the bonds between Jesus and the world.
When these male priests are 'married to God', wouldn't that make them gay? That would mean God is gay, too. Therefore, there is nothing wrong with homosexuality. Otherwise, it would mean that God is wrong. NOT TRUE.
Just a bit of logic. What do you think?

I hate to say this on principle, but I agree with Joseph C here. You are mixing so many different concepts that you are no longer even comparing apples and oranges, it is more like comparing toothpaste and gas vapors.
The concept of marriage here is symbolic, not actual. It is similar to the concept of Reece's peanut butter cups being a marriage of chocolate and peanut butter. No one is suggesting that they chocolate and peanut butter are married, having sexual relations, and such.
And also, you seem to have forgotten the OTHER argument that goes along with this. Nuns are considered "married" to God as well. And since God has many wives, he must also approve of polygamy!
EDIT -- note to Henry Silverfoote below -- the Bible doesn't say that women should not lay with women, I don't believe. You are quoting that wrong. It does say that about men, in Leviticus, where there are a whole bunch of laws listed for the purpose of telling the Jews what they need to do to be kosher. And Jesus and Paul explained that gentiles can still believe in God and be saved.

haha, i honestly think you can turn that into a good anti christian joke. The Bible, is bullshit. Its full of errors, contexts that are misinterpreted. The whole " a man shall not lay with another man" is taken out of context, it could actually mean something totally else.
Beside, sexuality is a HUGE grey area. We all are capable of the tendency. Everyone. Even if we are afraid of it or never act on it its there.
Im sure all christians should believe that god is not wrong, but the bible? That was written by men, as a historical moral guidline, not ever truth. Those things were written when women were slaves to men and the world was backwards, i like your logic, but finding in the bible is sort of a hopeless journey.

God proved he hated it when he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah
Sodom= the word "sodomy", meaning acts (stigmatized as "unnatural vice") such as homosexuality and anal sex, and the word "sodomite", meaning one who practices such acts.
Our Creator established rules governing marriage long before governments began regulating the institution. The opening book of the Bible tells us: “A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh.” (Genesis 2:24) The Hebrew word “wife,” according to Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, “connotes one who is a female human being.” Jesus confirmed that those yoked together in marriage should be “male and female.”—Matthew 19:4.
Thus, God intended marriage to be a permanent and an intimate bond between a man and a woman. Men and women are designed to complement each other so they may be capable of satisfying each other’s emotional, spiritual, and sexual needs and desires.
The well-known Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals God’s feelings about homosexuality. God declared: “The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah, yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy.” (Genesis 18:20) The extent of their sinful depravity at that time was apparent when two guests visited the righteous man Lot. “The men of Sodom . . . surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: ‘Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them.’” (Genesis 19:4, 5) The Bible says: “The men of Sodom were bad and were gross sinners against God.”—Genesis 13:13.
The men became “violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males.” (Romans 1:27) They had “gone out after flesh for unnatural use.” (Jude 7) In countries where homosexual rights campaigns are pervasive, some may object to using the word “unnatural” to describe homosexual behavior. However, is not God the final arbiter when it comes to nature? He commanded his ancient people: “You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.”— Leviticus 18:22.
The Bible is clear: God does not approve of or condone homosexual practices. He also disapproves of people who “consent with those practicing them.” (Romans 1:32) And “marriage” cannot give homosexuality a cloak of respectability. God’s direction that “marriage be honorable among all” precludes homosexual unions, which he considers detestable.—Hebrews 13:4.
Still, with God’s help, anyone can learn to “abstain from fornication,” which includes homosexual acts, and “get possession of his own vessel in sanctification and honor.”(1 Thessalonians 4:3, 4) Admittedly, this is not always easy.

Homosexuality, is not wrong, just logically and idiot answer. Imagine Homosexuals on a street. They never have straight sex, so in about 60 years everyone is dead, and no NATURAL children to carry on.
I am not against homosexuality, I just laugh at how they try to prove homosexuality is logically sound. As for the church, its just a symbolic marriage its not an actual "kiss me hubby" marriage
You fail ^.^ Please try again!

Good point! But there is no sex involved in your theory so there goes the homosexual part of your theory. I agree - there is nothing wrong with homosexuality; a sexual preference is a very private thing and no body's business.

I think the bible and the theory on Jesus is like a rumor at a highschool. You tell one person you kissed someone and then it goes around adn when it come back to you there people talking about how you had sex hardcore with them. think about how many years the bible has been around. do you know how much has been added on to it? the bible isnt meant to be taken literally. its meant to interpret into what you feel is the correct way. God made it so that every man and woman thinks differently. im gay. Im also a devout Christian girl. I feel that God loves all living creatures. And to sin is only human. and ifMy being gay is a sin that makes me just as human, and just as likely as anyone else to go to heaven. If God made it so that every person that sins goes to hell then the whole world is damned. I agree with you on you theory to an extent, so the priests are married to the church adn the church, hypothetically, is a woman which in a way represents to holy temple and if everyones body is a holy temple would that make it so that anyone thats baptized is married to priests as well? so if priests can not marry then then is normal human sin averagly everyday in the church is self. because they are married.
that means all christian men and women and priest are in a way married to each other, and if all humans are brothers and sisters in Gods eye (we are all gods children) then that means theres incest in the church as well. but thats all hypothetically. so you see If your baptized and you try as hard as possible to sin, your sinning anyways. So in theory thats greed. Because they want to go to heaven so bad that theyd go out of thier way for all of Gods attention, lust (hypothetically) because every human being thinks about seuality on a daily basis in a subconcious way (priests are perverts cause most arent married so they look at porna dn wont admit it) that means theres lying in the church as well. the people who preach abou thow homosexuality is wrong are sinning wrath because they have a personal anger tword people who do not think the way they do. the church, priests, and god is one giant sin. homosexuality couldnt be too bad if you look at it this way. I dont lust for girls because love is love you cant help what you feel. if i love a girl i love her for her personality not for sex, because tehre is no sex for her to provide me with. if homosexuality is such a sin then why did he give people the freewill to have the idea of loving someone of the same sex, gods gift to us was a life and freewill. well for you people who are so "devoted to the bible" how come you say you love God with all your heart, but everytime one of you responds to homosexuality bulletins like this it say homosexuality is wrong why dont you have faith in your god that hell love us all just the same in the long shot. so are you as devoted as you think?

I think that you are looking for an excuse to go the gay route.Go ahead and try it but din't bring God into this damnable act by trying to find a loophole in the bible. The bible makes it clear saying: "....a man shall not lay with a man and a woman shall not lay with a woman !"

i'm chuffed you help homosexuality as no longer being sinful. nonetheless, i desire to make clean....the roman catholic church feels gay acts as being sinful. no longer being gay. (nonetheless that looks humorous does not it?) so far as marriage, the church nonetheless in easy terms helps marriage between a guy and a woman. the different outlook is in any different case rejected or disregarded with the help of the church.

Jesus is not the church. The church is female, metaphorically. Jesus is also supposed to be married to the church.
