It's no secret that Christians around the world are in opposition to gay marriage. A lot of them quote the line Lev 18:22 "Though shalt not lie with man-kind, as with womankind: it is abomination." However Lev 11:7-8 says "And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." So finally my question is why do modern day Christians eat pork yet protest gay marriage?
The eating of pork does not pertain to ones salvation, the laws pertaining to the ways of life, are examples for us today and how they lived and dealt with problems and such, we learn from them, but yet knowing it is still the word of God, it is holy. you can read in acts chapter 10 and you will find where God fed peter, and he did eat of the unclean things that where listed in the OT...., Jesus even said (matt ch 15) its not what goes into the body that defiles it but that which comes out of it, which was adultries and fornacations..etc...etc...
AS for gay marraige, it is a sin for a man to lay with another man, or women with women, it is sexual immoral (fornication) to do such things.
the scriptured also say that, that which God hath joined together let no man put asunder... what did God put together?? he put man and women together, not man an man, or women an women. and to those who do such things are more or less been turned over to a reprobate mind, the knowlege of right an wrong has been taking away,
Rom 1:27 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.
Rom 1:28 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;
Rom 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
Rom 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
Rom 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
Rom 1:32 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.
It was not Gods will for 2 men/women to marry, for they can not have children, that takes man an women.
