it doesn't really matter where it does or does not say it. lots of people believe that the bible is the end-all, beat-all of life instructions, so they make judgement calls on other peoples lifestyles. funny, tho, that many "christians" are hateful people, when Jesus was talking all about love and compassion... makes you wonder if he'd be pissed if he comes back and sees what people are doing in his name. he'd probably say "you completely missed my point!"

it would make it not rely as a lot. human beings might probable be greater ambivalent in the direction of the assumption. That being pronounced, I nevertheless do not think of a "marriage" is something that biologically has something to do with love or being a pair. The very concept of marriage is defined with the aid of our biology, because of the fact it demands one guy and one lady to make a newborn. Human marriage is especially approximately growing to be kinfolk gadgets and having little ones that are raised with the aid of its mum and dad. some cultures had one guy and somewhat some different halves or one lady and somewhat some husbands looking after the newborn. In those circumstances, marriage replaced into defined in any different case. Homosexuality is greater of a interest and an amorous affair element, in basic terms like informal intercourse is likewise a interest. think of if human beings made informal intercourse right into a huge significant element. it is not. on an identical time, with at present's society, there isn't any reason government could not know two adult males or 2 women as constituting a marriage the way it has in many countries. in spite of the indisputable fact that, it somewhat is in undemanding terms because of the fact gay way of existence has arisen as a attainable and determination way of existence with the aid of its very own suitable that it may benefit sufficient followers and get human beings to act mutually and make gay marriage into something workable. way of existence demands a lot of human beings to prepare it with a view to make it proper and the actuality that many gay human beings % to recreate the ceremony of passage that marriage gave to those who have been desirous to procreate and function little ones, skill that it would desire to be accomplished extremely seamlessly, yet I nevertheless won't be in a position to help yet to think of that it somewhat is all a man made creation.

It says that homosexuality is an abomination. As such, homosexual marriage would be an abomination as well. I don't think that people in biblical times would ever even consider the concept of "gay marriage."

Leviticus 18:22 (New International Version)
22 " 'Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.

Leviticus 20:13 (New International Version)
13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

1 Corinthians 6:9 (Whole Chapter)
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
Romans 1:27 (Whole Chapter)
In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion

Anyone who has heard of the cities of "Sodom and Gommorah" knows that they were notorious hotbeds of homosexuality. Gen 19:5-8 "and they called to Lot and said to him, 'Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them.' But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, 'Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly.'" The Greek word in the New Testament for homosexuality is literally "a sodomite". Jock is trying to redefine what the term "sodomite" means. (A term that has unchanged in 5000 years, even today- "sodomy") Apart from the fact the city was clearly destroyed by God because of homosexuality in the narrative of Gen 19, even the New Testament clearly states exactly the same thing in Jude 7 "Just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example, in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire." Any sinner should always remember that the God who commands us to love our neighbour is the same God who will cast any and all unrepentant sinners into the "eternal fire". Here are more Bible quotes, Lev 18:22-23 "You shall not lie with a male as one lies with a female; it is an abomination." Lev 20:13 "If there is a man who lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed a detestable act; they shall surely be put to death." 1 Cor 6:9 "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" 1 Tim 1:9-10 "realizing the fact that (civil) law is not made for a righteous man, but for those who are lawless and rebellious, for the ungodly and sinners, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers" Rom 1:26-27 "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 toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error."

there are many references about homosexuality and its sinful and perverted nature. it does not say about marriage per say because it was not the case when it was written.

Romans 1:24,26-32
Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: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 of their error which was meet.And even as they did not like to retain God in [their] knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Since most of the men of the bible had multiple wives and concubines--I don't know where people get off saying that biblical marriage is one man and one woman.

Bible lovers just make up stories to suit their own agendas. They are homophobic maniacs who have been directly or indirectly responsible for genocide as a result of their lies. The Bible is evil.

The bible says nothing aboug gay marriage because the practice was forbidden and those that practised it were sent away or stoned to death and thus no one even "came out" or asked to be married.

Here is some of what the bible says about gay sex in the old Testament It seems that it was no longer enough to be gay and left alone as a strait person in Sodom and Gomorrah. That nolonger restrained these in that city, they wanted to have sex with visitors that didn't want to indulge in that behavior. Those cities were destroyed. Read the story below.

Genesis 19:4-11
4 Now before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house. 5 And they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them carnally." 6 So Lot went out to them through the doorway, shut the door behind him, 7 and said, "Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly! 8 See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof." 9 And they said, "Stand back!" Then they said, "This one came in to stay here, and he keeps acting as a judge; now we will deal worse with you than with them." So they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door. 10 But the men reached out their hands and pulled Lot into the house with them, and shut the door. 11 And they struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

Leviticus 18:22
"You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination."

In the New Testament it says:
Romans 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

In Romans it says that a nation that allows it is

Revelation 21:18 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone, which is the second death."

All of Leviticus Chapter 18 shows what is considered sin. Some sins are called abominable sins. see also Proverbs 6:12-14 for other abominable sins. There are other abominable sins also listed throughout the Bible. But I hope this answers your questions and gives you a place to start.

Leviticus 18:19-30
19 'Also you shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness as long as she is in her customary impurity. 20 Moreover you shall not lie carnally with your neighbor's wife, to defile yourself with her. 21 And you shall not let any of your descendants pass through the fire to Molech, nor shall you profane the name of your God: I am the Lord. 22 You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination. 23 Nor shall you mate with any animal, to defile yourself with it. Nor shall any woman stand before an animal to mate with it. It is perversion. 24 'Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for by all these the nations are defiled, which I am casting out before you. 25 For the land is defiled; therefore I visit the punishment of its iniquity upon it, and the land vomits out its inhabitants. 26 You shall therefore keep My statutes and My judgments, and shall not commit any of these abominations, either any of your own nation or any stranger who dwells among you 27 (for all these abominations the men of the land have done, who were before you, and thus the land is defiled), 28 lest the land vomit you out also when you defile it, as it vomited out the nations that were before you. 29 For whoever commits any of these abominations, the persons who commit them shall be cut off from among their people. 30 Therefore you shall keep My ordinance, so that you do not commit any of these abominable customs which were committed before you, and that you do not defile yourselves by them: I am the Lord your God.' "

Proverbs 6:12-19
12 A worthless person, a wicked man, Walks with a perverse mouth; 13 He winks with his eyes, He shuffles his feet, He points with his fingers; 14 Perversity is in his heart, He devises evil continually, He sows discord. 15 Therefore his calamity shall come suddenly; Suddenly he shall be broken without remedy. 16 These six things the Lord hates, Yes, seven are an abomination to Him: 17 A proud look, A lying tongue, Hands that shed innocent blood, 18 A heart that devises wicked plans, Feet that are swift in running to evil, 19 A false witness who speaks lies, And one who sows discord among brethren.
