Gay Marriage Should Be Legal

Pro is correct in the statement:"the Bible is a book about GOD not about a person's sexuality." God reveals himself to humanity through scripture. Pro is arguing that I only have this one argument. Of course I do. No other rational argument exists. If God doesn't exist, then there is no rationality behind my claim. Did Pro perhaps expect me to argue from a point of sheer bigotry? The issue is not about sexuality. The issue is: 1.> What is marriage? 2.> What is marriage not? Pro believes that I'm marking all homosexuals as sinners. It would be much more accurate to say:"The Bible regards everyone as a sinner. The homosexuals are not special." In regards to drawing reference from the gay and Lesbian websites, I would like to point out that they are referencing from an altered text. The King James, The New King James and The ESV (all considered to be highly accurate) did not get altered to manipulate a political stance. The NIV and NESV have. That's cheating and lying. I invite the website to draw the same reference from the greek translation. Pro claims Jesus doesn't mention homosexuality as a sin. Jesus also doesn't mention stealing a car as a sin. He does however mention theft and he does mention adultery. Would you argue that you can steal a car because Jesus didn't mention it by name? Adultery is treated as a axiom. If you engage in sex or lust outside of marriage you are guilty. Since the Bible defines marriage as a union between opposite sexes, every homosexual relationship is and always will be defined as adultery. Pro makes a rediculous list that claims the Bible only talks about homosexuality in six or seven verses. The Bible only talks about murder in similar quantity. How is your point relevant? Pro said that non-christian heterosexuals get married also. Yes, the Bible states that marriage is between a man and a woman. Wonderful point. Pro said Muslims believe in Allah, not God. That's correct. While Allah means God, they do not follow the God of the Bible. What's your point? Are you assuming that God won't recognise a muslim marriage? They are heterosexual, right? Are they glorifying Christ? No, by any means no. The way to God is through Christ. They are still married. The base criteria is male and female. What they are missing is the purpose. Pro wants me to address other points made in round one. Pro said: "A member of the LGBT community, primarily a homosexual human being, is still a human being regardless of which gender they prefer to be with." Answer: Agreed. Has nothing to do with a religious ceremony. Pro said: "The battle for same-sex marriages has been very heated since 1993 (1)." Answer: Agreed. What is the point? Pro said:"Not only have homosexuals fought for equality, but mankind as a whole has fought for equality and rights." Answer: Agreed. I believe every human has the right to life, sustinance, labor, education and housing. Marriage is not a civil liberty. It's a religious ceremony. If a gay couple wants to be recognized as joined, change your status on facebook. Stay out of the Church. Pro said:"The law banning Same-Sex Marriage goes against the "Freedom Of Expression" by limiting human beings to who they can and can not marry." Answer: Marriage is not an art form. Unless you mean to express you devotion to God, don't do it. If you insist on doing anyway, don't do it in a Church. Pro said:"Leviticus Chapter 18 verse 22 it says; "You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination" (Leviticus 18:22, King James). No where in the Bible does it specifically say Homosexuality is wrong and/or against God and Religion." Answer:.........................seriously? Pro said: "This "equality for everyone" should include Homosexual Human Beings." Answer: Again, gay people are free. Marriage is a religious ceremony. Period. Pro said: "To get married is simply a choice." Answer: No. It is a calling. Pro said:Claire Snyder states that marriage is "the personal bond, the community-recognized relationship, the religious right, and the civil contract" (2). " Answer: Contradiction. Is it a civil contract or a religious right? Church and state are seperate. You cannot license a religious ceremony. (Even though the government, criminally, does.) Pro said:" At the end of the day, what does a Homosexual couple's relationship, or any couple's relationship in that matter, have anything to do with anyone else?" Answer: If the God of the Universe, despite having every reason to snuff you out, shows mercy on you by making a way for you to be reconciled to him.....would it not be wise to accept? Gay marriage is not offensive to liberal America, it's a declaration of war on God. It's like looking at the bloody cross and screaming:"That's not enough!"...or even worse, just plain ignoring that God did anything. Think of it like this. If God is real and his mercy is available, I would be a sick, sick, human being for not telling you. So, either I'm right and I'm doing you a huge favor...or...I'm wrong and you do what you want. Gays are already getting married. Let's not act like my side is winning the legal battle.
