“Like it or not the Holy Bible condemns it. It goes against nature. Just to think of it is really gross, disgusting, nasty and stomach turning. But mainly it not acceptable to God.”
I agree with you. 100%. But this is the reason that’s easiest to argue against because of other areas of the Bible that are contradictory or just plain outdated by modern standards. (i.e. Deuteronomy & Leviticus Stoning of Rebellious children etc...)
It’s an argument/debate that you just can’t win. That’s why I am in search of a more tenable position.
It’s also difficult to stand on the traditional definition of marriage because I (and 50% of most others) happened to be divorced. So they claim I am “picking and choosing” my areas of the Bible that I want to believe.
We all sin, but it is the repenting and turning from that sin that makes us able to fellowship with God. For in Him we have redemption through His blood, and the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.
They want your acceptance because they haven’t God’s acceptance and their hearts tell them this. Even if you said all the words they want to hear it won’t make them happy. You have the Light in you and they see it.
They have a sin problem just as we all do. We are all able to go to God and ask forgiveness, but we must have that change of heart about sin to please God. The argument needs to be are they in Christ. Do they have fellowship with Him. Are they trusting in Him?
and you define your whole existence by divorce? You attend Divorce Pride parades? You want to shove it down the throats of children and even promote divorce in schools? You think people who disagree should be punished by law? Do you wallow in your sin?
There is a huge difference.
