1. Marriage was ordained between a man and a woman from the beginning--with no ambiguity.
2. Sexual immorality is sex outside of marriage.
3. Sexual immorality is a sin.
4. Homosexual activity is outside of marriage (from 1)
5. Homosexual activity is a sin (from 2 and 3).
Then again, there are very few that want to have a discussion...and even less at AF.
I hate to burst your bubble there, Steve, but marriage and religion are not exclusive to one another. The NAI had marriage ceremonies long before the white man showed up. They didn't even know the Abrahamic god existed until the pilgrims came here. Furthermore, they married any two people who loved one another - not just man and woman. So your first statement is false. 2-5 are merely the opinions of your religion.
The bubble is intact. I was clearly replying to and describing a Christian belief. #1 is a perfect characterization of that belief.
