Annoyingly Progressive Since 2006
1) You’re making a lot of inferences with regard to homosexuality in the Bible. ‘Nuff said on that subject.What kind of Biblical evidence do you want prohibiting same sex marriage ? Your point is ridiculous. The Bible only mentions marriage in the context of a man and woman. Those who practiced homosexuality were executed at the time of Christ and the Apostles. Christ said not one thing regarding this law . Christian law is clear, homosexuals in the world can do whatever they chose, homosexuals in the Church must either repent and abstain, or be excluded from the Church. Paul makes this abundantly clear.
You are right about divorce. However, it has become acceptable in many denominations, which is no surprise, as we were told the corrupt world and many of itś practices would seep into many congregations.
2) This reminds me, somehow, of the “Christian” minister who told my neighbor (a girl who was being physically and emotionally abused by her husband) that “Jesus wanted her to stay in that relationship and suffer for him.” As far as I’m concerned, Jesus would say that the husband committed divorce the moment he put his hands on her or raised his voice.
