So, please tell us of your private revelation from God wherein he gave us his opinion.

LOL! The last time God made a rather dramatic revelation on the topic is recorded in Genesis 19.

All the people of Sodom voted in favor of same-sex unions and only six people voted against it. God had no respect whatsoever for the decision of the overwhelming majority, did he?

Mmmm.... I can't answer for "reflecting," the FReeper you addressed, but God's judgment on this is strikingly consistent in the Bible from cover to cover. There's lots of sex in the Bible, some pretty explicit and some disturbingly transgressive: but there isn't a single instance of sexual inercourse in the marital/procreative form which is ever condemned; there isn't a single instance of sexual intercourse in the nonmarital/nonprocreative form which is ever blessed.

Look. The Bible is a pretty complicated library of books, 72 in all by the count of the oldest historic Christian churches, and spanning nearly 80 human authors on three continents over a period of 800 years. That kind of consistency across cultures and genres and highly varied human circumstances is pretty remarkable.

If the Bible is, as its expositors say, God-inspired, then it's fair to say that on this topic, the divine point of view is settled.
