The 7th Commanment is *You shall not commit Adultery* this was applied to a man and woman or do you think GOD was speaking of marraige between same sex couples as well?
I hear many Homosexuals say God never condemned homosexuality.

this should answer your question. Note that Jesus said that God created two different sexes for a reason:
------------------------
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female,' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh'? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."
"Why then," they asked, "did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?"
Jesus replied, "Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."
The disciples said to him, "If this is the situation between a husband and wife, it is better not to marry."
Jesus replied, "Not everyone can accept this word, but only those to whom it has been given. For some are eunuchs because they were born that way; others were made that way by men; and others have renounced marriage because of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it."
~Matthew 19:4-12 (NIV)

Okay, here come some more thumbs down, some people can't handle the truth and some choose to defend Sodomites. The 10 are applicable only to married men and women. Same sex unions are an abomination, unnatural and cursed in both the Old Testament and New.
Old Testament:
Leviticus 18:22
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination."
New Testament:
Romans 1:26-27: "For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence [sic] of their error which was meet."
"And if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them."
Apparently Homos have their own Bible that they made up, which is also forbidden. People will always find a way to justify their atrocities.

Homosexuals who say this are speaking of Jesus, not God as the Holy Trinity. Jesus never said anything about homosexuality, but it was condemned in the Old Testament. According to the Old Testament, homosexuality is a sin, as is murder. Jesus came to offer the new way of getting to Heaven. An easier way. Anyways, as for the 10 Commandments, it said do not commit adultery, or do not covet, or somethin like that, depending on which translation you read. In terms of today, we apply what Jesus did say about this commandment. He said that if you look at someone with lust, you have committed adultery, so it speaks of anyone homosexual, straight, or bi.

No I dont think God was speaking of any kind of same sex relationships. In fact fromExodus to Romans the bible (Gods word) is clear about homosexuality, as being a sin and an abomination.

No, the ten commandments are for everybody that wants to obey God. The sevent commandment is talking to woman and man because God created woman and man not man and man. It says it clearly in the bible and it also says that any man that is with a man will not go to heaven. That is one of the reasons why God killed the people from sodoma and gomorrah.

There is nothing in the Bible that condemns homosexuality. Even the present-day Church doesn't condemn homosexuality; what the Church condemns is acting on those urges. In the eyes of the Church, it is not wrong to *be* homosexual, but it is wrong to commit homosexual acts, such as sex with someone of the same gender.

The Bible clearly states that marriage is meant to be between a man and a woman. Funny how the homosexuals keep missing that part....hmmm.

God never intended for marraiges of the same sex.
Neither did Jesus.
"For this reason a man joins a woman and the two became one flesh"
Man was made for woman and vice versa

I think the 10 commandments are very clear , besides do you think it is normal for 2 man together or 2 woman together to get it on ? Man and woman are meant to procreate , do you see 2 males tigers or lions , or giraffes or any wild kingdom animals doing it ?

This is a great example of why you ought to realize that the Commandments are man-made along with everything else. Do you really think the creator of the entire heavens cares about who does whom?
