If you let gay people get married, which your quotes say nothing against, that would not be a problem.Ok good! so now all you have to do is provide a context where the covenant of marriage is extended to same sex couples and your home free. If you can not, then know all homosexual activity outside the confines of a santified marriage is still a sin. Not the unforgivable sin like some think but still a sin never the less.
Quote:Again, show me where it says homosexuality is a sin.I have, in that their is not a conext in the bible where it is permitted. Meaning if a Santified Marriage is the only context in which sex is permitted then every sexual act (Homosexual or not) is a sin. Homosexuals are no different then hetrosexuals in this regaurd.
Quote:Let's not assume every homosexual is having premarital sex so you can argue with that verse.They are unless you can provide book chapter and verse that shows a same sex marriage as being santified before God.
Quote:Specifically, where does it say it? And . . . where does it say that men can't marry men and women can't marry women?I am asserting that marriage is between a man and a woman. 1cor 7:2 I am also saying that sex outside of the santity of marriage is a sin: (Acts 15:20; 1 Corinthians 5:1; 6:13, 18; 10:8; 2 Corinthians 12:21; Galatians 5:19; Ephesians 5:3; Colossians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 4:3; Jude 7). The Bible promotes complete abstinence before marriage. Sex between a husband and his wife is the only form of sexual relations of which God approves (Hebrews 13:4).
I am not saying anything else. If you think it is ok before God for a man to marry a man or a woman a woman then it is on you to show me book chapter and verse.
Homosexuality is a sin of sexual immorality just like everyother sexual sin. Why? Because like everyother sexual sin it is done outside the confines of a santified marriage.

How is He silent? He defines one avenue for sexual activity. all others being a sin. This includes homosexuality.

Does it mean you think about having sex outside of the confines of a santified marriage? For Christ tells us that even lustful thoughts are a sin in Mt 5.
