Sex outside of marriage is fornication and that is a sin.

In Mark 10:6-9 Jesus says "God made them male and female, for this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate." Jesus is not only talking about divorce, he is also talking about marriage. He defines it as between a male and female, not a male and male or female and female. God put it together that way.

Like I said before, sex outside of marriage is fornication, which is a sin. If Jesus believes God made marriage to be between a male and a female, then any gay people claiming to be married and having sex are actually fornicating and therefore living in sin.

Or we could just assume that Jesus means that male and female marriages should not end in divorce, but gays can get married and divorced or whatever they want, because none of what Jesus says applies to gay people and they have just been left in the dark about how to live their "gay" lives and need to just make it up as they go along. And that goes double for transgendered folk. (MMMM, that's something to think about, cause it just might be true.)

This response probably is not "explicit" enough for you, but with a little righteous thinking maybe it can help you figure out an answer to your question.

P.S. You are right about the divorce thing.

Here are two gay people. They have lived and loved in a faithful life-long partnership - just like a married couple. Indeed they would marry if they could.

WHY would God condemn this?

[Do not reply, "Because God does not like fornication" as I would then ask , "WHY does God not like this type of fornication'. After all, unlike other types of fornication, - if you want to call what they do by this name - what they do is beneficial to themselves and society and does no harm.

What is God' reason do you think?

Of course God supports loving and faithful relationships, even between those of like gender. Jesus loved his disciples, they even washed each other's feet. God supports loving and faithful relationships within families. Does that mean family members should be able to have sex with each other. Is it unfair that God does not allow for this? Some people think so.

God made the male reproductive organs to go with female reproductive organs. He made it so that sperm could mix with an egg and make a child. Sperm can't mix with feces and make a child. Vaginal fluid can not mix with plastic objects and produce a child. The rectum can not support a fetus. So why would God be pleased with gay sex. It is not done to create anything pleasing for God, it's just to fulfill perverted desires of those with reprobate minds.

There is only one type of fornication, sex without marriage. God only recognizes marriage between man and woman. With these two truths in mind we can deduce that God condemns sex between an unmarried man and woman, any woman and woman, and any man and man.

People always try to fit God into their own beliefs. If they believe that something is okay, then God must think so too. They forget that God left a plethora of scriptures and his Holy Spirit, to guide us to think like him. It isn't the other way around. If it was, then we would have no need for God or his doctrines. For most people it is common sense to do good, so you can get a reward, we don't need God to help us see that. Serving God is simple, but much deeper than most people think. This may seem foolish, because the scripture does say that God's ways are foolish to the world. Jesus said that narrow is the path and few will make it in; broad is the path of destruction and many will go that way.

I think that the government should allow gays to marry and have similar rights to traditional married couples, because church and state separated a long time ago. No need for the gov't to act like it still cares.
