    The Bible says nothing of same sex marriage. The Sodom and Gomorrah story is open to different interpretations. Here's a link for you to look at.

      ROTFLMAO
      While "sodomy" was practiced there as noted in the story of Lot the reason for their destruction was something God considered worse. Their refusal to help others.

      By the way the city of Sodom is being excavated now. One object taken from the site was some fused pottery. The only other place where something like that was found was in the desert where they tested the atomic bomb. They found fused sand there. It takes very intense heat to do that.

      The following is from net.bible.org
      1Corinthians 6:9
      Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! The sexually immoral, idolaters, adulterers, passive homosexual partners, practicing homosexuals,

      1Timothy 1:10
      sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals, kidnappers, liars, perjurers – in fact, for any who live contrary to sound teaching.

      Leviticus 18:22
      You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; it is a detestable act.

      Leviticus 20:13
      If a man has sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman, the two of them have committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves.

          No, then that would be okay, but they shouldn't hold hands in public, right?

            According to the Law of Moses....no.

            Interesting point.

            Are there Sins of the Flesh?

              It is the act. The marriage implies the act. You take it from there.

              "sexually immoral people, practicing homosexuals" 1Tim 1:10

              You may want to choose a translation that doesn't have a political aim as that's not how the original language translates.

              "Leviticus 18:22
              You must not have sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman; it is a detestable act.

              Leviticus 20:13
              If a man has sexual intercourse with a male as one has sexual intercourse with a woman, the two of them have committed an abomination. They must be put to death; their blood guilt is on themselves."

              Leviticus and Exodus also tell us how we can own slaves and who we can take for slaves. Are you going to tell us now that Slavery is a-okay?

              Tell me -- Do you follow all the rules in Leviticus? Or do you just get outraged at the homosexual stuff because secretly you like the idea of another man on top of you?

                Did you also read that every seven years was a year of Jubilee? That year all slaves had to be freed. All land reverted back to the original owner. All debts are considered gone. You like to cherry pick what you try to make into evil. But you leave out the other side. Why???
