What's wrong, can't you point out where Christ denounces same-sex marriage? He may have referred to marriage as a man being with a woman, but did he also extend the benefits that they currently enjoy? |
I didn't quote it because I don't want to offend. I told Bouzane to do his own research, I'll extend the invitation to you. A hint, it's in the teachings of Paul. Jesus never said it per se, but he gave the model he requested (one man, one woman, unseparated). However, Paul does say undeniably that christian doctrine considers homosexuality as unholy... :( I hate saying this I think I'm gonna go after this post.
I don't care whether you believe it or not, it's in the christian doctrine. Here are the verses...
"For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them.
For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made, so that they are without excuse. For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God, or give thanks; but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Therefore, God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, that their bodies might be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
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."
It's in the book of Romans...

Did he ever say that the married should be held in higher regard than the gay? Because that's our system now. One in which the married enjoy special benefits over even the single people! Married people pay LESS taxes than I do simply because they are married. There is obviously a flaw in this system. |
I have no idea how any of this is relevant to Christian doctrine. Doctrine is not influenced by social changes, it's God will in all eras and cultures. As for taxes I really don't see how that's relevant to doctrine either tbh.
|
And Christ is literally nowhere in the argument. He never said married should be above, nor did he say gays should be condemned, nor did he say gays shouldn't enjoy the same rights. |
@bold. When did I ever say any such thing or that Christ said so?
|
In fact, he's said nearly the opposite of all those things. "“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. 5Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. 6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 7Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. 8Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. 9Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
Bolded is no christian who is against gay rights. Italicized are the real persecuted here. Peace out. |
So, where do we disagree. I'm for gay rights, I'm against homosexuality from a moral perspective.
Peace be with you.
