Same Sex Marriages
nother hot potato in the political and religious arenas is the debate over whether or not our country should be legalizing same sex marriages between those who are involved in a homosexual relationship.
The homosexual movement continues to grow in force and number, and they have now got big enough where they are wanting their homosexual relationships formally legalized as real marriage unions in the states they are now living in. As a result, many liberal minded Christians are now supporting this legalization, thinking that God the Father has no problems with this union, much less have any problems with homosexuality in general.
As Christians, the only thing that should matter to us is what God the Father thinks about this issue – not what the politicians think, not what some of the liberal media thinks, and not what the world in general thinks.
For those of you who really want to know what God the Father thinks about same sex marriages – the Bible once again gives us a very direct and solemn answer on this very controversial issue. It simply is a matter of putting together 3 very basic and solid verses from Scripture, and then extrapolating off these three basic verses.
In the article I did titled, “Homosexuality and the Bible” – I gave you the two main verses from the Bible showing you what God’s opinion really is on homosexuality in general.
The first verse was from Leviticus 20:13 – where it says that a man shall not lie with another man as he would with a woman, and if he does, this act will be considered an abomination in the eyes of God. The second verse was from 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 – where it lists the sin of homosexuality as one of the specific sins that will literally keep you from being able to enter into heaven when you die and cross over.
As I said in that article, I believe these two specific verses from the Bible are God’s 1-2 punch answer on this issue. When God says that any kind of homosexual act will be considered an abomination in His sight – and then tops it off by saying that this kind of activity will prevent you from being able to enter into heaven – I believe these are the two strongest and strictest warnings that God can possibly give us on this one topic.
When God uses the word “abomination” to describe this specific sin – He is using the strongest and most intense word that He can possibly use to describe what He really thinks about this particular sin. There is simply no way to spin or sugarcoat what these two verses are trying to tell us. They are both direct and as plain as day.
The third verse from the Bible tells us that God the Father does not change, and that He is the same today as He was yesterday. What this tells us, without any other possible interpretation or spin that you can put on this – is that if God the Father thought homosexuality was an abomination in the Old Testament – then He will still think that it is an abomination in the New Testament.
There is simply no way that God the Father is going to change His mind on this issue from Old Testament times to New Testament times – especially with the Bible telling us that God does not, cannot, and will not change!
When God first created the man Adam, He created one man and one woman and then told them to be fruitful and multiply. He did not create George for Adam or Lisa for Eve. He created Eve for Adam. Nowhere in Scripture does God the Father ever ordain or approve of any type of homosexual relationship between two men or two women.
With these first three verses now locked firmly and solidly in place – it does not take a rocket scientist to see what God’s opinion is going to be on any type of same sex marriage. This is simply a matter of one plus one equaling two.
Bottom line – if any type of homosexual act is a complete and utter abomination in the eyes of God – then trying to take a homosexual relationship one step further into the grounds of holy matrimony is going to be just as much of an abomination in His sight as any type of homosexual activity was beforehand.
It is my own personal opinion that trying to legalize a homosexual relationship under the holy grounds of marriage is not only an obvious abomination before the Lord – but it may actually be another notch or two higher up on His abomination scale.
I believe that the sacrament and institution of marriage is something very holy, very sacred, and very special in the eyes of God. Any homosexual who wants to try and take their abominable acts one step further into God’s holy ground of matrimony is mocking God Almighty Himself. Any liberal Christian who is thus actively supporting or engaging in this particular abomination is treading on extremely dangerous grounds with God the Father.
To those liberal Christians whose hands this article may fall into – I challenge you to go before God the Father and ask for His opinion and truth on this issue. Put your request before Him and then wait for His answer. Put aside all of your emotional bias on this topic for just a moment, and simply seek God and His direct answer on this issue – keeping your mind completely open to what He will want to come back with.
If you think you are 100% correct in your assumptions that God has no problems with the homosexual lifestyle, then you will have nothing to lose by asking God for His direct answer on this issue. If you are truly a Christian, then you should have no problem in going direct to God in a deep, intense, and seeking prayer mode to get Him to answer your question on this issue.
Per the article I have already done titled, “Can a Christian Lose Their Salvation?” – I do believe that it is possible for a Christian to lose their salvation if they engage in a sin that is considered a sin leading to death. And with one of the verses from the New Testament already stating that homosexuals will not be entering into the kingdom of heaven – do you want to roll the dice on this issue hoping that you are not wrong – and that just because you got saved earlier on in your life will skate you through on this issue with God the Father with the way He has worded these two particular verses?
God will be our final judge when everything is all finally said and done. Sooner or later we will all face God and Jesus for our own personal judgment at the Judgment Seat of Christ. To those of you who consider yourself liberal-minded Christians – the choice is yours if you want to roll the dice on this issue and not get it settled with God before you die and cross over.
God has spoken out loud and clear for all the world to hear as to what His opinion really is on homosexuality and same sex marriages with the way that He has worded these two verses. These two verses on homosexuality are as clear as they can possibly be and they mean exactly what they are saying.

One could argue that if god didn’t want gay people he wouldn’t have invented them!!!
Bobby, God did not “invent” homosexual people… God created us in his IMAGE; not his personality, not his mindset. He gave everyone FREE WILL (the ability to think and act on your own). It is what you do with that free will which he will judge you on.
Saying that you’re only homosexual because God made you that way is like saying a murderer or a rapist only does it because god made him like that… Your argument is invalid.
“God is Love”…
“And God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of a sound mind, And Perfect Love cast out All fear-For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, their is none that are righteous, no not one “
Gods answer to Gay Marriage in the Australian Labor Party is to bring the government down
God calls homosexuality an abomination and gay Marriae the abomination of the deslolation.
I beleive the beast of Revelations and the Anti Christ with the False phrophet whill be bi-sexual and have homosexual orgies in the name of God
This will be the abomination of the desolation as they ar violating their bodfies. Our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit and if we violate Gods emple he will cast us into the outer darkeness wher ethe devil and his angels are going.
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth.
Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.
And this is the promise that he hath promised us, even eternal life.
These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you.
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
And now, little children, abide in him; that, when he shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be ashamed before him at his coming.
If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.”
***John warns us in 1 John 2: 18-29-that as we’re in the last hour that many Antichrists will come. These Antichrists will come to try to distract, mislead and destroy us.***
Hi I agree that God does not like that, doing anything to anything that is in contradiction to and against the purpose that God has created it for is an abomination towards God.
But regarding the same-sex marriage, if a person really needs help from Jesus regarding a different much more terrable issue, how do you help them? If they should repent what of the devorce? Isn’t that against God too? And if they don’t devorce can they still receave Gods help regarding the worst issue?
“Then he [sinner] said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Jesus [hanging on the cross] answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
*Don’t get so caught up in the details that you miss the point [Jesus is] making here in Luke 23.*
*What you or I believe about life may be true, and it may not be true. Either way, those beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, behaviors and attitudes. It is YOUR own personal walk with Christ. The Bible is the ONLY infallible true Word. Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you. Decide which beliefs, actions, habits, attitudes, strongholds are getting in your way of a closer walk with Jesus~ Ask, listen, ask, ask, ask, listen, listen, listen for the Holy Spirit’s conviction within YOUR own life, God will be your deliverer…Even while dying on the cross, Jesus extends grace to one of the other men (a sinner) next to Him, being crucified with Him–in this case, a thief who put his trust in Jesus in the final moments of his life.*
“For All have sinned and come short of the glory of God-There are none that are righteous, No Not One. For while we were yet sinners Christ died for us.”
There is now therefor no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus- Just Much Love and Much Blessings sent to Us All through Christ, Jesus.
