Genesis 22-22 Analysis

1098 Words5 Pages

The bible talks about homosexualality, yet it seems to not really talk about homosexual marriage or same sex marriage. It is quite obvious how the bible condemns homosexuality as immoral and an unnatural sin. In Leviticus 18:22 it says, “You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.”. This shows homosexual sex as an abomination. In Romans 1:26-27 it states, "For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.". This points out …show more content…

What this means is that people who practice homosexuality are unrighteous and will not inherit the kingdom of God. Homosexual desires along with actions are sinful, so it is obvious that homosexuals “marrying” is not God’s will and is indeed a sin.

Every time the bible mentions something about marriage, it is between a male and a female. In Genesis 2:24 it says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.". This shows that a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife to become one, uniting being marriage of course. In 1 Corinthians 7:2-16 it states, "But because of the temptation to sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. The husband should give to his wife her conjugal rights, and likewise the wife to her husband. For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. Likewise the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. Do not deprive one another, except perhaps by agreement for a …show more content…

In Genesis 1:27-28 it says, "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.". This points out that one of the purposes of sex was to “be fruitful and multiply” meaning making children. You can’t procreate with two men or with two women. It is between one male and one

It states clearly in the bible followed with simplicity having an explanation of its symbolic representation that this generation is of the worse in this society and that we will be dealing with series situations like: Witch-craft, Homosexuality, Adulterers, Haters, Liars, False accusers, Hypocrites and all the wicked things you could ever imagine and that’s why people disagree of what’s been said because it’s the truth. We can see it happening everywhere and it has come to reality. Some people fail to realise why? And then they question why life has to be so harsh towards them, why it has to be this way? We see people around us, how they portray themselves their actions, with homosexuality its wrong with a sudden act they react if someone stated something they disliked and get offended with what’s been said then you see their true colours, some encourage it homosexual to still continue even when they know it’s wrong and then others disagree.

The Points giving by this prospective seem very valid and moral to a certain class of personalities, but to another class they acknowledge that god clearly states gay marriage as unjust and wrong. Leviticus 18:22: " Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination." 3. Leviticus 20:13: "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Coming to the conclusion to some being that the pastor had a right to deny the couple for what he stands for rejects the act to support sin, for he is a leader giving to reflect and evangelize god’s word and never depart or deny from him due to horrid circumstances .In

David Boonin’s response to Jeff Jordan made great points. Boonin mentions that “marriage involves a public recognition of a personal relationship between two people and people who are married become eligible for various sorts of public benefits that are unavailable to unmarried couples” and that to take this away from homosexual couples makes it into a “public dilemma” (Boonin 247). I strongly agree with this claim, as it is basic to understand that regardless of your gender, race, or sexual orientation, you are entitled as a human to certain rights. It is a discrimination to try and retract this right from anyone because of their sexual orientation. Just as it would be to try and prevent marriages of different races or religious backgrounds.

I know that many married couples tend to have very different personalities. On paper these differences may make the marriage seem unsuccessful; however, practically these differences help each person grow individually by pushing each other out of their comfort zones, which in turn causes the marriage relationship to grow. It is this complimenting nature of marriage and the Trinity that shows us how a homosexual marriage cannot reflect God’s design for a godly

Equality and same-sex marriage is similar to that of The Crucible. The thought of a same-sex marriage happening within the holy walls of God, is a sin, in the eyes of the church. Many churches have banned the ceremony of gay/lesbian marriages. The churches that disallow same-sex marriages are Baptists, Methodist, Catholic and Presbyterian churches. This selective behaviour from those particular churches, have caused hysteria from supporters of equality, especially the LGBTQ+ community.

Even though a claim regarding how biblical gender models are supposed to encourage people who struggle with homosexuality requires thoughtful explanation and at least a few biblical references, Alberry only devotes a small section to the topic on page 71, which does not even include a single biblical reference. In addition, the existence of many negative biblical passages regarding gender, make it difficult for the readers to understand the essence of his point. For instance, Corinthians 11:12, 1 Timothy 2:12, and Genesis 3:16 are only a few biblical examples where the role of the woman in a marriage, and generally in society, is presented as lesser or inferior compared to that of the man’s. Nevertheless, many of the most famous biblical heroes, such as Esau, Jacob, and Solomon, are among the most famous polygamists. It is obvious that such models of femininity and masculinity, as well as marriage, are far from positive and encouraging.

Lee Jefferson states “any reference to same-sex practice by a Biblical writer or a Greco-Roman writer has no knowledge or understanding of the concept of “same-sex orientation. “ There is no Hebrew or Greek cognate word in the Biblical text to reflect the modern term “same-sex orientation” or “homosexuality.” Moreover, there were no discussions or arguments concerning sexual orientation in the ancient and late ancient world” (“What Does The Bible Actually Say About Gay Marriage?” par.8) Lee Jefferson explains that by then during and before the time of Jesus Christ.

Staying on track, Chapter 9 talks about the Gift of Sexuality in our human lives as well as offenses that can harm the gift of our own sexuality. A major issue today in regards to sexuality would be homosexual activity, which is activity between members of the same sex. Church teaching based on Divine Revelation holds the homosexual genital activity is objectively sinful. However the Church recognizes that Homosexual activity is not the same as Homosexual Orientation, agreeing with social sciences, that they do not choose to bet that way and not morally guilty for who they are. This is the same as that a person is not responsible for be “red-haired.”

Many churches have stated that they will not and do not support gay marriage due to their interpretation of the Bible. Followers on theses churches have conformed to these ideals as well.

Homosexuality is a controversial topic that Christians have debated for years. Christians on one side of the argument believe that the New Testament does not define homosexuality as a sin and that people should be allowed to love who they want in any way they want to. On the contrary, many Christians believe that the Bible clearly defines homosexuality as a sin and that Christians should abstain from same-gender sexual activity. In Romans 1:26-27, Paul reaffirms the Old Testament position that homosexuality is unnatural and goes against God’s law and His plan for humanity.

It is also included within the Halakah, the Jewish law. The Torah forbids the homosexual act, known as mishkav zakhar, but has no regard with homosexuality as a personal inclination. Furthermore, a person with a homosexual urges can be an obedient Jew as long as he or she does not act out that homosexual desire. The Torah defines and describes homosexuality with the passage, “thou shalt not lie mankind as with womankind; it is detestable” and that “if a man lie with mankind, as with womankind, both of them have committed a detestable act: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them” (ReligionFacts). Gay men are explicitly referenced and threatened with the death penalty in the Torah.
