Itching ears want to hear something that is comfortable, new, entertaining, fashionable, and popular. Today there are people in the church who pervert the teachings of the Bible to make it more acceptable to people. One area in which this is happening is the acceptance of sexual partnerships that are clearly contrary to God's revealed will. Co-habitation is seen by some to be equal to marriage. It is not.
Marriage is a public, life-long, exclusive, loving commitment of a man and woman to one another.
It was invented by God to provide a right environment for sex, mutual dependence and the raising of children. Statistics support this. Homosexuality is seen by some within the church as an acceptable lifestyle. I am not denouncing someone who feels that they have a homosexual orientation, but it is the expression of that in homosexual genital acts that is contrary to God's ways. Just as it is also against God's way for a heterosexual to have sex outside marriage.
