What Does The Bible Say? Part 3

Issues Parts 3...

     Marriage is a sanctity of God.  I do not find in scripture anywhere when God says a man shall join with a man or a woman with a woman.  We were designed for procreation- man and woman.  That being said, we all struggle with the battle of the flesh, and we are all sinners.  However, God's "grace is sufficient."  Regardless of a person's choice, others should not be required to go against their Biblical beliefs.  Although current society is changing, God's Word is never-changing.  

     What does the Bible say?

Genesis 1:28 "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it..."

Ephesians 5:31 "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. "

Romans 1:25-32 "Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.   For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:   And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.   And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;   Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,  Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,   Without understanding, covenant breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:   Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

1 Corinthians 7:2  Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband."

Matthew 19:4-5 "And He answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that He which made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?"

    

    As we struggle with our own fleshly battles let us look to WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS, and remember Matthew 19:25, 26, "...With God, all things are possible." 

I like the words of Henry M. Morris.  "When the teachings of man conflict with the Word of God, it would be wise to go with God."
