Question

Im A Lesbian And I Just Want To Know Why You people Think Its Wrong For A Man To Marry Or Man Or Women To Marry A Women. I Think If They Love Each Other There Shouldnt Be Anything To Come Between That, And no Homosexuaility Isnt A Sin To Me God Loves Everyone For Who They Are. All Answers Are Welcomed No Matter What They Are I Just Want Everyone's True Opoion

Answer 1

I agree with you 100%
I think the problem lies in the bible. Christians take what they want and use that to condemn others. It's wrong because "God said so."
That marriage is a religious intuition so that is why they feel that it is wrong. Marriage isn't religious it human. You see this all over the world from the past long before organized religion took shape. and now in our present. It is in our human nature to want to find one person to share your life with.
People don't see the difference there. To many out there believe it goes hand in hand there is none with out the other and that is simply not the truth. I am not saying that those of us who do believe this way (religion and marriage go together) are wrong because they are not. But like everyone they should have that choice.
What makes me so mad about this is that as we all have the right to choose our own faiths (it is guaranteed to us when we formed this country (U.S.A.) The only worth wild argument one can make is based on their religious beliefs. That is WRONG since not everyone of us have the same beliefs. It seems to me that by denying people their rights to marry the government is butting into our homes and saying you can't do this because God said no. If you honestly believe in the those rights how can you support such a thing. To me as a christian I can not condone such a thing. I would feel to much like a hypocrite to do so.
I will live a perfectly happy life and be firm in my own relationship with God. It makes no difference to me what my neighbor does with his or her life. If they are lucky enough to find someone who completes them to have a piece of what I have everyday then good for them. Love and marriage is a beautiful thing. I have been happily married for 11 1/2 years to my very best friend. It wouldn't cheap-in my marriage to know my neighbor is involved in a same sex marriage.

Answer 2

To all of you quoting the bible, don't you realize that the bible is pure mythology? Look up the definition of mythology. Mythology is stories written by men who did not witness the actual events. All the books of the bible were written many years after the fact by men who did not witness the actual events and teachings take place. The stories were passed down through generations by word of mouth before they were written.

Have you ever played the game when you were a child where a sentence was whispered to someone at the head of a line and repeated from one person to another. The sentence at the end of the line is quite different than the one spoken at the beginning. The same holds true of the bible.

Then you need to consider that the words were written in an obscure language and translated by men into other obscure languages. The meaning of some words could not be accurattely translated from one language to another so these men made guesses as to the meaning of those words. Men who had their own agendas and added their own meanings. Then the bible was translated again and again from one language to another in the same manner. Do you honestly think those are the actual words and teachings of God and Jesus in the bible? There is so much room for different interpretations! I believe the "stories" have some truth to them just as any mythology has some truths. But seriously people, the bible is made up of some good stories with some good messages but are far from the actual meanings. I know this is not a popular belief but I put to any one to tell me how these could be "actual word for word teachings" in the bible. This holds true for both the old testament and the new testament.

Answer 3

I believe marriage is between two humans who are old enough to mutually consent. I still don't understand, and may never, why some people want to say it is not. Argue all you like, but I think that's how the Almighty (by whatever name) has made it.

Answer 4

I do not intend to but I will probably people mad in this answer but its what I believe. God does Love everyone, He Loves everyone equally and more than we could ever know. But God does not Love sin. People get confused by this so they think that because God Loves everyone they wont let anyone go to hell. But that isnt true. Everyone sins, and everyone is condemned by their sin. But because of Gods Love we are redeemed if we choose to accept it.
Homosexuality is a sin. and right there is where I lost you. I have read, and studied it and I just cannot say according to the Bible that homosexuality is ok. It is pretty clear that it is not. However I hate when people blow it up and condemn people who are homosexuals. Sin is sin, the Bible says that there is no sin that is worse than any other sin, all are equal. So for people to completely condemn people who are, they need to get off their high horse and come down and realize that we all sin every day, and we cant stop it. I'm so thankful that because of God, we are forgiven for all of our sins, past, present, and all sins to come.
Because of the government, and religion being so intertwined. This is a touchy subject. Marriage is a religious thing. it is a joining under God. but for some reason you are not married according to the government until you have a marriage license and tell the government. You are married under God even if you are not under the government. Therefore there should be a way to be joined under the government and not under God. People view gay marriages as wrong because most religions say that it is a sin. and because of that marriages will be polluted.
To me marriage is to screwed up, so polluted, so defiled today by so many people that it has lost alot of its true meaning. It doesn't mean anything to alot of people, but that is another subject.

I THINK THAT PEOPLE SHOULD HAVE “CIVIL UNIONS” UNDER THE GOVERNMENT. MAN AND MAN, WOMAN AND WOMAN, AND WOMAN AND MAN. ALL SHOULD GE THE SAME RIGHTS AND BE TREATED THE SAME. THEN IF THEY WANT TO BE MARRIED BY A CERTAIN RELIGION, CHURCH, OR ASSOCIATION. THAT DECISION SHOULD BE MADE BY THE ACCORDING RELIGION. THE GOVERNMENT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO DAMN RIGHT TO TELL A CHURCH YOU CANNOT MARRY 2 PEOPLE. AND A CHRUCH HAS THE RIGHT TO REFUSE TO MARRY 2 PEOPLE.

I respect alot of people who are homosexuals, because normally they stand up for themselves. I dont condone their choices, just like I dont condone idiotic men who are addicted to porn. But I accept the person and love them because we are all the same no matter the choices we make.

Answer 5

The Bible consistently tells us that homosexual activity is a sin (Genesis 19:1-13; Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1:26-27; 1 Corinthians 6:9). Romans 1:26-27 teaches specifically that homosexuality is a result of denying and disobeying God. When a person continues in sin and disbelief, the Bible tells us that God “gives them over” to even more wicked and depraved sin in order to show them the futility and hopelessness of life apart from God. 1 Corinthians 6:9 proclaims that homosexual “offenders” will not inherit the kingdom of God.

God does not create a person with homosexual desires. The Bible tells us that a person becomes a homosexual because of sin (Romans 1:24-27), and ultimately because of their own choice. A person may be born with a greater susceptibility to homosexuality, just as people are born with a tendency to violence and other sins. That does not excuse the person choosing to sin by giving into their sinful desires. If a person is born with a greater susceptibility to anger / rage, does that make it right for then to give into those desires? Of course not! The same is true for homosexuality.

However, the Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. Homosexuality is just one of the many things listed in 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 that will keep a person from the kingdom of God. According to the Bible, God’s forgiveness is just as available to a homosexual as it is to an adulterer, idol worshipper, murderer, thief, etc. God also promises the strength for victory over sin, including homosexuality, to all those who will believe in Jesus Christ for their salvation (1 Corinthians 6:11; 2 Corinthians 5:17).

Yes, you are right, He does love everyone, He hates the sin.
He did not create you to be that way and it is wrong anyway you look at it!

Answer 6

Aliyah W, I'm not against gay marriages, so in
a sense I should not be responding to your question.
I just couldn't help myself, as it seems you've opened
the door to a good deal of fanatical judgment thus far.

Aliyah, If you are comfortable with it, and have no issues
with your religion, then don't allow others to interpret
religious writings as the ultimate rule. You'll notice folks
on this thread will carry on about the 'abomination' routine,
but ask yourself why they don't make such a fuss about the
other so-called abominations in their little books.

Answer 7

there once was a time when i was completely opposed......offended actually at the thought.... now i am undecided at best....

since i am more a traditionalist i do not like seeing the origional framing of the definition of marriage being changed to accommodate sexual preferences... leaving it at simply man and woman

i do believe many gays and lesbians make good teachers, doctors, parents, and role models the same as heterosexual people...

i also believe that you should be entitled to legal partnerships allowing unions to exist....giving you the right to make funeral arrangements and medical arrangements for a life partner.... maybe in time i wil feel differently and so will many others...

Answer 8

1Cor. 6:9:"What! Do you not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God's Kingdom?Do not be misled.Neither fornicators,nor idolaters,nor adulterers,nor men kept for unnatural purposes,nor men who lie with men{that includes women}......will inherit God's Kingdom."
Lev.18:22:"And you must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a female.It is a detestable thing."
Rom. 1:26-28:"That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites,for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature;and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males,working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense,which was due for their error.And just as they did not approve of holding God in accurate knowledge,God gave them up to a disapproved mental state,to do the things not fitting."

This is God's view on homosexuality.There are more scriptures but Im sure you get the general idea. You can whitewash it all you want but Jehovah God,our Creator did not create us to lust after members of the same sex.He created man and he created woman.Anything contrary to that is detestable in his eyes and is condemned.

Answer 9

Ro:1:21: Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
Ro:1:22: Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Ro:1:23: And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
Ro:1:24: Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
Ro:1:25: Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Ro:1:26: 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:
Ro:1:27: 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.
Ro:1:28: 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;
Ro:1:29: Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Ro:1:30: Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Ro:1:31: Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Ro:1:32: 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.

I think it is a sin.

Answer 10

God does indeed loves you but He does not love the fact that you continue in homosexuality. God created men and women to produce children. There is no way that two men or two women can reproduce. God also created men and women to be anatomically correct.
