Religious Top Contributions? Got a question.?

Question

What is up with all this same sex marriages? Marriage is spoken of as the most holy of unions in most bibles and without these bibles people would simply live with their mates. Furthermore I have yet to study a bible, where marriage originated, that in anyway states sames sex relationships as anything short of an abomination to god so what is the need for couples to get married when the text that they learned of this union says what they are doing is an abomination and that they should not engage in it. Seems like a contridiction in terminology or put simple PLAN ILLOGICAL. How could it be justified would be simplist question??

Good news about sex and marriage, by Christopher West

Marriage: Sacrament of Christ and Church. Pgs 20-21

Spouses not only image the love of God with in the Trinity; they also image the love between God and all humanity, made visible in the love of Christ and the Church. By virtue of their Baptisms, the marriage of Christians is a sacrament. That means it’s a living sign that truly communicates and participates in the union of Christ the Church. The marriage vows lived out in the spouses’ “One Flesh” union constitutes this living sign.

Paraphrasing St. Paul: For this reason a man will leave father and mother and cling to his bride, and the two shall become one flesh. This is a profound mystery, and it refers to Christ and the Church . Christ left his Father in heaven. He left the home of his mother on earth - to give up his body for his Bride (Catholic Church) so that we might become “one flesh” with him.

Where do we become “one flesh” with Christ? Most specifically in the Eucharist. The Eucharist is the sacramental consummation of the marriage between Christ and the Church. And when we receive the body of our heavenly Bridegroom into our own, just like a bride we conceive new life in us - God’s very own life. As Christ said, “Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you” (Jn 6:53).

Since the “one flesh” communion of man and wife foreshadowed the Eucharistic communion of Christ and the Church right from the beginning, John Paul II speaks of marriage as the “Primordial Sacrament.” Let’s pause for a moment to let this reality sink in. Of all the ways that God chooses to reveal his life and love in the created world, John Paul II is saying, marriage - enacted and consummated by sexual union - is the most fundamental.

St. Paul wasn’t kidding when he said this is a “profound mystery.” Could God have made our sexuality any more important than this? Any more beautiful? Any more glorious? God gave us sexual desire itself to be the power to love as he loves, so that we could participate in the divine life and fulfill the very meaning of our being and existence.

Sounds great you say, but it’s a far cry from the way sex play itself out in the experience of real human beings. Yes, it is. The historical abuse of women at the hands of men; the tragedy of rape and other heinous sex crimes, even against children; AIDS and a host of other sexually transmitted diseases; unwed mothers; “fatherless” children; abortion; adultery; skyrocketing divorce rates; prostitution; a multibillion-dollar pornography industry; the general cloud of shame and guilt that hangs over sexual matters - all of this paints a very different picture from the one St. Paul and John Paul II give us.

The picture it paints, in fact, is the tragedy of human sinfulness and our fall from God’s intention for our sexuality “in the beginning”.

Answer 2

If it is not good to kill, steal, commit adultery, bear false witness, etc. If there is any logic there; then you can find logic in the importance of not engaging in acts that may not be in the best interest of society in the long run. God may seem heartless to anyone who loves another person of the same sex. I'd be hurt too, if someone called me an abomination. But what can you do. I'm not going to take a chance.

Answer 3

The Bible didnt "invent" marriage. People have been having marriage ceremonies since the beginning of time.
The Bible is not considered the law of this country. It is a work of fiction

Answer 4

If marriage is supposed to be holy, then why don't you Christians start raging against the validity of atheists and agnostics who marry? Why not attack Muslims who marry? And Jews?

Marriage is marriage whether it is "blessed" or "sanctified" or not. What is so hard for Christians to understand: it's none of your business. None of your business.

Answer 5

You say that marriage originated in the Bible. Do you have proof of that or are we just supposed to take your word for it??

Answer 6

The whole bible is plain illogical
