Defining Marriage by Michae Allen

In Mark 10: 6-9, Jesus said, But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; and they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

We live in a world where people feel that they should be able to do what pleases them and makes them comfortable. Doesn't that make perfect sense? If I am not bothering you, why should what I do matter? The truth of the matter is, God has laid a pattern for existence. Anything out of spec from how He intended disappoints him severely.

If you are a Christian, your only reference/manual/point of view is biblical. In the above scripture, Jesus did not say homosexuality was wrong. What he did was tell us what is right. If I tell you to eat the vanilla ice cream, I don't have to tell you not to eat the chocolate or the strawberry; what not to do is inherent in what to do.

The immutability of God's holiness far outweighs the intensity of our desires or opinions. God's viewpoint explicitly tells us that marriage is between a man and a woman.
