Christians are often more swayed by the world and do not
seek out Biblical reasons for right and wrong. Here are 10 Biblical reasons why
Christians should oppose homosexual marriage:
1. God the Father
created man and woman and declared it was very good—Gen. 1:27, 31. God declares
marriage as a divine union, not merely a civil union.
2. God the Son,
Jesus, defined marriage as between a man and a woman—Matt. 19:4-5
3. God the Spirit
makes a man and a woman one flesh, according to Malachi 2:15, to procreate
godly offspring. Gen. 2:23-24 says a mother and father are to procreate a
female and another mother and father procreate a male and together they are to
become one flesh.
4. Religion, by its
very nature, dictates morality for its adherents. The Bible, especially the New
Testament, determines what is right and wrong for Christians.
5. The world and
societal norms are never to determine what is right and wrong for Christians.
6. The Bible (1 Cor.
5:9-13) says the church is not to accept fornicators, including any sex outside
of a married man and woman which includes homosexuality, any more than we would
accept those who worship idols, covetous people, abusers, drunkards, or
extortioners.
7. Homosexuality is
never affirmed in the Bible.
8. Homosexuality is
repeatedly condemned in Old and New Testament.
9. All are born
sinners. There is no justification for sin due to inclination, including
premarital sex, extramarital sex, polygamy sex, incestual sex, animalistic sex,
non-consentual sex (rape) and gay/lesbian sex. However, there is no homosexual
DNA gene. Numerous people have switched to and from homosexuality as well as
desired both due to sin nature, not genetic morality.
10. The New Testament
says marriage is to reflect a husband as Christ, the wife as the church.
