Bible verses for gay weddings
The Case Against Christians Attending a Gay Wedding
The case against Christians attending a gay wedding is relatively straightforward. We can lay out the case in three premises and a conclusion.
The Argument
Premise 1: Homosexual “marriage” is not marriage.
No matter what a government may sanction, the biblical definition of marriage (see Gen. –25, Mal. –15, Matt. –6; Eph. –33) involves a man and a woman. I won’t belabor the point, because I assume in this post that I’m speaking to those who concur with the Westminster Confession of Faith when it says, “Marriage is to be between one guy and one woman” (WCF ). Gay “marriage” is not only an offense to God—sanctioning a thoughtful of sexual activity that the Bible condemns (Lev. ; ; Rom. –27; 1 Cor. –10; 1 Tim. –10)—gay “marriage” does not actually exist.
Premise 2: A gay wedding celebrates and solemnizes a lie.
Whether the service is done in a church or in a reception hall, whether it is meant to be a Christian service or a secular commitment ceremony, a queer wedding declares what is false to be accurate and calls evil good.
Prem The Bible defines marriage in Genesis as a union between one male and one girl. Jesus Christ upholds this definition of marriage in Matthew , as does the Apostle Paul in Ephesians Any and all sexual activity which takes place outside of this context is treated as sinful, what Jesus calls ‘sexual immorality’ in Mark Further to this, same-sex train is specifically highlighted as sinful a number of times in Scripture. In God’s Law, for example, condemnations of same-sex practice are given in Leviticus and Further references are made in the New Testament. For example, in Romans , amid echoes to the Genesis creation account, both male and female same-sex train are treated as sinful. Further references to the sinfulness of same-sex drill can be seen in 1 Corinthians and 1 Timothy The Scriptures are, therefore, consistent in their prohibition of same-sex sexual action, across different periods of salvation history and within alternative cultural settings. Although the Scriptures are clear on sexual ethics, they also Answer He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man hath seen God at any period. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his like is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Soul. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the nature. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in romance dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we
What does the Bible teach about same-sex practice?
What does the Bible say about gay marriage?
The Bible says nothing about gay marriage directly, but it does set down the foundational principles of what constitutes marriagein God’s eyes. Every reference to marriage in the Bible indicates a union of male and female. The first description of marriage coincides with the creation of Eve in Genesis 2. According to that channel, marriage takes place when “a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they change into one flesh” (Genesis ).
In passages that contain instructions regarding marriage, such as 1 Corinthians –16 and Ephesians –33, the Bible clearly identifies marriage as creature between a man and a woman. Biblically speaking, marriage is the union of a bloke and a woman in a lifetime commitment. Primary purposes of marriage are to illustrate the relationship between Christ and the church (see Ephesians –33) and to build a family and provide a stable, secure environment for that family to mature. As families prosper, so does society at large, and balanced families contribute to stable soci Wedding Readings from the Bible, gay friendly and suitable for church.
