God told the Hebrews to keep his ways that He has designed them to be. To show everyone how it was at the beginning.We know that homosexuality is condemned in the Bible, but why?
Some Christians say it is because God's plan was for man and woman to join in the sacrament of matrimony, and be fruitful and multiply.
So, homosexuality, by that logic, is not condemned because of what it is, it is condemned because it diverts a person from doing what they are commanded to do, which is be fruitful and multiply.
But then, there's a question.
Why does the Catholic faith command certain persons to remain celibate and/or chaste in order to serve God?
Would not a life of celibacy and/or chastity be just as sinful as a life spent in the homosexual lifestyle?
And on a broader note, are all men and woman who never marry living a sinful life?
I think we need a serious discussion, so let's not have the usual malarky.
When sinned entered. That it has distorted everything. Causing everything to become displaced. Men were in sexual relationships with other men, close kin and animals, And they were also in sexual relationships with many women, without any devotion to one another. Which the Bible calls that porneia.
It says that God doesn't allows anyone to divorce unless they were in a porneia relationship. Then it is okay to divorce, only when the relationship is out of the realm of God.
Everyone thinks that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah was just only having homosexual relationships. But they were doing all sorts of sin like the city of Nineveh. They were lawless cities.
But we are not allowed to divorce. Because it causes the women to go and find another relationship. Because in those days, a woman marries for support. And if she marries another for support, that she will be committing adultery. The only way a woman can remarry. That is if her husband has past away, which it will free her from the covenant that she made with her husband. And so then, the laws allows her to remarry that is if her husband dies so that she will be free from the law.
Matthew 5:32
But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, makes her the victim of adultery, and anyone who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
