I have heard gays defend that God allows if they have homosexual sex, because their main point is, love is universal. But, if this is really the case, why is then that God instituted a heterosexual relationship when He commanded Adam and Eve to go forth and multiply? We all know same-sex cannot procreate, isnt it? Thus this mean God has to separate views about sex?

The Bible also tells you not to covet your neighbours ox. DO NOT rely on the Bible for your daily life, it is FALSE, OBSOLETE and NOT written by God! Atheism is growing!!!

You are correct. According to the bible, God did make a man and a woman to be joined together to multiply the earth. Two men can't do this, nor can two women. In Romans 1:26 and 27, it
states, "For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural, and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire towards one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error." Here God calls same sex acts "errors". Not only are homosexual acts errors in God's eyes, Jesus states clearly that anyone who is a homosexual and who doesn't repent of it shall not have a part of God's Kingdom. He groups homosexuality with other sins such as adultery, idolatry, stealing, swindling and more. In Corinthians 6:9,10 it states," Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God." I am not judging here, this is what God said. But many people who want to engage in it try to reason away His word, to change it so that it won't apply to them. But His word is His word, we take it at face value or we don't. Everyone must decide for him or herself. I'm not sure what you mean when you say that God has to separate views about sex. He doesn't. He approves of only one type of sexual relationship and that is monogomous, opposite sex intercourse within the marital relationship. Anything else is either fornication, whoredom, adultery, or homosexuality.
I know that some men feel like women and that they are born with these feelings. Their insides don't match their outsides. This isn't a sin. It's only a sin if they act upon it. If they pray and ask God to change their feelings so that they can become heterosexual and even get therapy because they want to change, then God will help convert their heart. They no longer will WANT to be gay. It's an important decision that will affect where they spend eternity.

The point is not what the Bible says about it. The real question is why the government should have anything to say about it.
Marriage is a very private matter, and should be entirely by agreement between individuals. The intrusion of Big Government into such a personal matter is an example of the way the Republicans have become the party of Big Government. They will not leave people alone to live their own private lives in their own chosen way.
Whoever you choose to marry is not legitimate business of the government. Did you ever ask your government to decide for you what marriage is? The Big Brother nannie bureaucrats should get out of your bedroom.

Lets take a look shall we,
1Corinthians6:9
9:Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders 10:nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
-There are three kinds of sexually immoral persons: adulterers, male prostitutes and male homosexuality ( Romans 1:26 has female homosexuality) the people who ingage in these practices are explicitly excluded from God's kingdom.
God does forgive.....
Kneel for a different, more fulfilling reason!
Also see:
Genesis 19:5
Deuteronomy 22:5
Judges 19:22
2Peter 2:10
Jude 1:8
For the atheists:
The fool says in his heart,
" There is no God."
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile;
there is no one who does good.
-----Psalm 14:1
Those of you who do not hesitate to show malice towards God are simple fools. Your ignorance is only second to your arrogance.
God Bless!

In Romans 1 Paul talks about men "laying with" other men and says that it is an abomination. Therefore, it's pretty clear that God is agains same sex sex.
However, The church needs to get off homosexuals backs. When more Christians are looking at pornography and getting divorces than non-Christians, it's really hard for us to be an example for anyone.
Gay people don't choose to be attracted to the same sex, any more than Christians who are turned on by pornography chose to be turned on by pornography. You can't help what attracts you, and sin is sin, no matter how it's done.
To be clear the bible does say that it's a sin. But also be aware that God loves Gay people just as much as everyone else.

First off, it's important to understand that God IS a spirit. The Bible's position on same-sex marriage would be a definite no. Love is universal means that every language may be different, but we 'all love'...as in love in shown in many ways. Good deeds, love of family,...but sex? He meant for a man and a woman. Truthfully, now that all gays are coming out of the closet, can you actually sit there and tell me that ALL these people were 'mel-formed' in a sexual way? That's impossible. I've heard and read at least 100 lectures by professional who say 'no way'. There is a very, very small percentage of 'true gay' people, but not the numbers that are out there right now. To me, it's a 'social status'. They're getting attention....haven't you noticed? They're even teaching it in schools without parental conscent, and the teachers and board of education made this choice without asking parent.
I mean, WTH....I remember when us girls had to have our signed slips to watch a movie about menstural cycles when we were 12 years old. Now their teaching children in 2nd grade about the gay lifestyle and 'it's a family.' It's just a never ending cycle of bologona that I can't and will not swallow...and the Bible isn't going to change it either.
Jesus says in Matthew, 16:4, "A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. 16:23 "Get thee behind me, Satan: Thou art an offence unto me: for thou savorest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men." And the Commandments of God..."Thou shalt NOT commit adultery."
Matthew 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
And most important is Mark 10:6 But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. 7. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and cleave to his wife: 8. And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no moe twain, but one flesh. 9. What therefore God hath joined together let not man put asunder. 10. And in the house his deciples asked him again of the same matter. 11. And he saith unto them, Whosoever shall put away his wife, and marry another committeth adultery against her. 12. And if a woman should put away her husband, and be married to another, she committeth adultery. 13. And they brought young children to him that he should touch them: and his diciples rebuked those that brought them. 14. But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased and said unto them, "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. 15. Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

It is wrong,wrong,wrong! God does not have seperate veiws about sex!
He warns that in the last days,"men will lay with one another as they lay with a woman".
Love is not sex!Sex is an act between a married couple ,which is a gift given to them by God to enjoy eachother's bodies as well as have children.
Love is the thing which brings a couple or a family together.We love our children,but we all know it is perverted & wrong to have sex with them!
Homosexuals will pervert God's word or make up their own rules just as anyone who is doing wrong will do to justify their sins.

Well, that's the argument. Some people say the bible says that marriage is to only between a man & a woman. Love is universal so I do agree with that frame of mind but, I don't think the bible says anything about same sex marriage. It's probably implied that it's only to be between a man & a woman.
I say who cares? If two same sex people love each other, they should be able to get married. Alot of straight people don't hold marriage in high regard so I don't see the big deal about that instuition being sullied or anything. I could care less about marriage and never plan to take that plunge. More power to anyone who wants to make such a commitment. That's between them and God.
