religions against gay marriage?

Question

how many religions are against gay marriage? what are the religions that are against it?

Answer 1

No "religion" speaks with one voice on any topic, and this is equally true of gay marriage. Christianity is divided on the topic, and although the majority of Christian denominations are not likely to support gay marriage, in truth there are several who are vocal in their support. These include the Metropolitan Community Church, the United Church of Christ, and the Unitarian-Universalist Association. In addition, individual congregations of the Episcopal Church, the Disciples of Christ, the Methodist Church, and the American Baptist Church, as well as others are known supporters of Gay marriage.

Gay marriage has been endorsed by the more liberal Jewish subdivisions, such as the Reformed Jews.

Buddhism is a non-doctrinal religion, and so it is impossible to say what the stance on gay marriage is among most Buddhists. Similarly, Hindu positions vary between individual practitioners.

Islam appears to have the least accepting stance toward homosexuality in general, and by extension, gay marriage. However, even among Muslims there is an organization supporting gay rights, including marriage. ( http://www.al-fatiha.org/ ).

Any of the faiths not listed may have a stance either for or against homosexuality. Many prefer not even to mention the topic, fearing a divisive conversation that would harm organizational cohesion. So silence on the topic should not be interpreted as either rejection or acceptance of gay marriage.

Answer 2

All of them.

All mainstream belief systems have recognized marriage as being between a man and a woman (or between a man and several women, in the case of Islam).

For reasons of sound common sense, none of them have ever suggested, nor supported the idea, that men should marry men or women should marry women.

Yes, you will find some people who claim to be Christian or Muslim or Hindu or Jewish or whatever, who support the nonsensical proposition that homosexual marriage is a good idea, but these are not people who actually adhere to the fundamental tenets of their so-called faith.

Answer 3

Jehovah's Witnesses

Answer 4

From what I learn it seems like plenty of men and women positioned their finger on it even though I can not talk for God I might say God designed guys and ladies to be in combination since this used to be his plan and to reject what God desired is in uprising in opposition to God. People can not difference God's legislation since it does not paintings. Let's say a individual desires extra then whatever on the earth to be equipped to fly they usually feel with all their center that they may be able to fly so that they step off a cliff, God's legislation says regardless of how so much you feel you step off that cliff and you are happening.

Answer 5

The practice of homosexuality is destructive to the human soul and God gave His warnings about this in the Bible. Supporting gay marriage is a sin because it means to support homosexuality.

Iniquities (sinful tendencies) pass down the generation line if they are not removed by the Blood of the Lord Jesus. Homosexuality is caused by iniquity and the Blood of Jesus cleanses the iniquities of all who accept Him as their Saviour.

After a person accepts the Lord Jesus as their Saviour, they are transformed and made a new creature in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17). So the gay person would be changed and so would the alcoholic, liar, drug addict, fornicator etc. It's the power of the Blood of Christ and the Holy Spirit in the believer that brings about this transformation.

REDEMPTION BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH

Because mankind is incapable of meeting God’s standard of perfection necessary to abide in God’s presence (Romans 3:19-20,23), God sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the total debt for the believer’s sins and mercifully credits to his account Christ’s righteousness (Romans 3:21-28,5:1-11; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21). Jesus’ gracious act of atonement was complete and covers all sin (Colossians 2:13-14; 1 John 1:9). Salvation is not based on good deeds but according to the mercy of God (Titus 3:4-5). Believers are justified by faith; it is a gift by God’s grace (Romans 4:3-8; Ephesians 2:8-9). A true, living faith will result in a desire to live a holy, loving life of good works (Ephesians 2:10; Galatians 5:6; James 2:14-26), but failure to be absolutely successful at righteous living does not negate the believer’s justified status.

If you sincerely say this prayer, your sins will be washed away, you will be redeemed to God, be saved from eternal torment and inherit the Kingdom of God:

"Dear Jesus,

I am a sinner.
I repent of my sins.
Please forgive me and save me by your shed blood;
come into my heart.
I want to receive you as my own personal Lord and Savior.

Amen"

Answer 7

All True Christian denominations I Catholics as well as Islam

Answer 8

I'm not aware of any religions that are in FAVOR of it!
Fact is, this lifestyle is in direct opposition to what ANY religion would consider being right with God. Many churches would welcome homosexuals who seek change, but these churches cannot be expected to CONDONE homosexual activity, much less sanctify a "holy union" between two men or two women!!!!
Morality still exists, believe it or not!

Hebrew

Answer 10
