Gay Marriage is wrong in the eyes of God.
Right marriage means that a man and a woman are intimate, not a man and a man or a woman and a woman. Right marriage is with a spouse and none other. Right marriage honors and shows God’s righteousness and glory. Right marriage results in offspring in most cases. Right marriage is a reflection of God through a holy union. Wrong marriage or sex causes disease such as AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Wrong marriage or sex results in humanity being introduced to the true wrath of God. Romans 1:26-17 (NKJV) states that God gave them up to vile passions for even the women were giving uses against nature and ended in them “receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.” Wrong marriage or sex is wrong no matter which perspective someone has, “just because emotion is deep or powerful does not justify acting upon it.”
This argument is not one sided but many people believe that the argument is. People argue that a person can be born homosexual but I disagree. However, even if someone can be born homosexual, God’s grace shows deliverance from sin. Homosexual acts must be distinguished from the homosexual point of reference. An individual with homosexual orientation must not fulfill this physical urge. This is no different from saying that a heterosexual person must not have sex outside of marriage. The difference is that the heterosexual person can find sexual fulfillment within marriage (Emiston, n.d).
Hey Zach!…I think that gay marriage is completely wrong. However, I think that it will be something that will be moderately accepted one day. I really do not understand why anyone would want to marry anyone of the same gender as them. I guess that is just something that I will never get because i am not that way. (Good to know, right?
haha) People will start to really listen to the people who support gay marriage when they say that they have rights too, and they do have rights, but marriage is not one of them. The meaning of marriage would depreciate if (or when) gay marriage is completely legalized.

I fully agree with you on this issue, Zach. Marriage is defined in God’s words as the Union of a man and a woman. Homosexuality is a choice, not something that one is born afflicted with. Man is made in God’s own image, and God despises homosexuality. However, God doesn’t despise homosexuals, in fact, he loves them and wants them to be like Him. God’s grace is a wonderfully powerful thing.
I agree 100% withyour perspective. However, I think you should come at this subject from another angle in addition to the christian view simply because not everyone bases their beliefs off christianity and the bible. You should come at it from a secular and logical point of view as well. As I said, I agree with the christian perspective all the way, I just think that you will reach more people if you come come at this subject from aother angles.
Hey, this is on my blog to. Zach, you are very right. I do agree with you, however, in Terri’s case she was not completely brain dead. She could still communicate and was aware of what was going on around her. The case was basically a violation of mentally hadicapped person’s rights.
Zach!…I agree a million percent…I think gay marriage, and gay relations all together, are wrong…Men were made to desire women and women to men…whoever decided they should change that has some kind of problem…
I agree that gay marriage is completely wrong. A man and a women are supposed to be together. God intended for it to be this way. If he wanted a man and man or woman and woman to be together, he would have made it where they could reproduce together, but he didn’t. Only a man and a woman can reproduce together because God intended it to be that way for the soul purpose of producing future generations to live on Earth.
I agree like all the other comments, but there is definitely another side to the argument. Many people are gay and protest and protest and protest for marriage rights and some are not even Christians, which takes god’s perspective out of the picture.
Your stand is very strong in the Christian faith, which is definately good. However, I agree with JD. Your audience could be boarder if you tie this in with secular sources as well.
I personally do not take a stand when it comes to gay marriage. I’m not against it, nor do I support it. I honestly don’t know what it feels like to be in love with another male, as most heterosexuals wouldn’t. Just because I don’t feel that “love”, doesn’t mean that other males don’t though.
I try to think of it this way. Let’s say that you were truly in love with this girl. But it seemed that every being, every factor of your life – government, religion, society completely restrained you from loving this girl. Try putting that situation in a parallel, homosexual circumstance. Should they go even more heart-broken and feel more worthless than they already do for the remainder of their lives? Love is free!
I believe that most heterosexual relationships of our era are just as tainted and sinful as the homosexual ones, so none of really have any room to talk or act. Our society has become so sexual that it’s nearly impossible for any of use to achieve the love or sexuality that God really intended for us.
Hey Zach
I agree with you that gay marriage is wrong, but i also don’t have a problem with any gay people i know. Gay marriage is wrong in the eyes of God, but what about those who don’t believe in God, or have a different religion? I honestly also don’t think that someone is born gay. They chose their homosexuality sometime in their life.

To all who have commented on my paper thus far,
Please don’t think that I am homophobic or hate gay people. I don’t. I simply disagree with everything that supports gay marriage. And I really appreciate Casey and Jd’s comment where they questioned why I came at it from a Christian only, when it came down to it there was just a space crunch and mrs. gillmore told me to narrow it down to view instead of the original 3 (christian, atheist, gay) I thank you for commenting.
Zach, now you have the space of your whole blog to express all your views! No 1500 word limit here if you don’t want!
Thanks to all of you who are reading this for taking the stands you took on some of these very controversial topics. You are blessed to be at this point in your lives and be comfortable with and knowledgable about the various sides to such issues.
Keep standing! (Unless it’s a time when you should be sitting in your seat…especially in class!
)
