Same-sex Marriage vs Religion

this is indeed a great controversy today then you make it to be lol. Becasue The fire storm of controversy over this issue is not restricted to religion. Internationally, heated political debates are raging, since the social, political, and economic implications involving pensions, joint health care, and taxes are great. i will be form with what i will say, at the same time since people get emotional over these kind of matter, i will try to not hurt anyone, and answer directly from the Bible view. first of all the question that we should ask ourself is, DOES GOD APROVE SAME SEX MARRIAGES? IF YES WHY? AND IF NO WHY NOT? i believe when you know this, all the other questions that will come in your mind, you will have plenty of source to reason on. AND TURNING TO THE BIBLE TO GET THE ANSWER, THEN WE CAN APPLY WHAT GOD'S VIEW TO THIS MATTER IS. AND FROM THERE YOU CAN MAKE YOUR CHIOCE BY REASONING. why do Christian believe that a marriage should be only female and male? well lets see what the Bible says: Our Creator established rules governing marriage long before governments began regulating the institution. The opening book of the Bible tells us: "A man will leave his father and his mother and he must stick to his wife and they must become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24) The Hebrew word "wife," according to Vine"s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, "connotes one who is a female human being." Jesus confirmed that those yoked together in marriage should be "male and female.""Matthew 19:4. The well-known Biblical account of Sodom and Gomorrah reveals God"s feelings about homosexuality. God declared: "The cry of complaint about Sodom and Gomorrah, yes, it is loud, and their sin, yes, it is very heavy." (Genesis 18:20) The extent of their sinful depravity at that time was apparent when two guests visited the righteous man Lot. "The men of Sodom . . . surrounded the house, from boy to old man, all the people in one mob. And they kept calling out to Lot and saying to him: "Where are the men who came in to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have intercourse with them."" (Genesis 19:4, 5) The Bible says: "The men of Sodom were bad and were gross sinners against Jehovah." As you may have heard, but God destroy the city of Sodom, and he consider homosexuality a sin, Keep in mind that God can see what is in our heart. and he made it very clear that he does not want man sleeping with another-men. getting married is a privilege, but since i really dont want to go into the fincial benefits, but you did mention two married couple who are unable to have a child of their own, having kids is not the solid reason behind married, it is a privilege given to human by God. God intended marriage to be a permanent and an intimate bond between a man and a woman. Men and women are designed to complement each other so they may be capable of satisfying each other"s emotional, spiritual, and sexual needs and desires. and not just that God said plainly. He commanded his ancient people: "You must not lie down with a male the same as you lie down with a woman. It is a detestable thing.""Leviticus 18:22. this is something that God knew we human would get tangle in it, his command where very strait about it.
