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.
The same biblical stance was made in reference to owning slaves, preventing interracial marriage, and the fight against women being able to vote. Just because something is understood to be accepted and done a certain way from the beginning should not be the reason for common sense morality and equal rights due to the fact that some primitive laws were ordained for the past when it is quite obvious certain primitive laws should be updated for changing times.
