Glad to see you both having this line of civil discussion. I did some very brief research earlier this morning about how Jesus would view the whole issue. Found this which I found to be a great read.
http://www.gaychristian101.com/did-jesus-define-marriage-as-only-between-a-man-and-a-woman.html
I had found another page that completely differed from this view of course and that referenced Mark 10:7 - "For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,[
b] 8 and the two will become one flesh." What bothers me about this is that Jesus was actually talking about divorce, but no one seems to really be interested in fighting the good fight over the evils of divorce. Like the guns issue and handguns, it seems like everyone has just forgotten about the real problems of society and are focusing on the homosexual behavior or the assault weapons.
I like this quote from the article I posted above - "Why do so many heterosexual preachers harp on the "sin" of homosexuality while ignoring the divorce epidemic in their own churches (sometimes in their own lives)? That is
"straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel." "
