That's right.

Multiple generations of FAIL.

You're not even honest enough to admit what's self-evident:

>>nonsense

Mark 10:6-12

6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.'a 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.'c So they are no longer two, but one. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate."

10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."

NIV

The nonsense comes from you, not from the Bible. You’re better off sticking with Bible quotes rather than your poor misinterpretations of what the Bible says.

The relationship between Christ and his bride - the Church, comes from the Word.

It’s no secret that the spirit of anti-Christ has always coveted and sought to destroy that relationship.

Which body are you a member of?

I’ve already told you I’m not answering your silly baiting questions. If you don’t have anything to add that is actually on topic, then don’t bother posting to me.

Meh. Stupid Creator. What'd He know about those sorts of relationships anyhow.

Gen 3:5

5 "For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil."

I guess you’re expressing your own thoughts here, since you obviously can’t quote me saying anything like that, or you would have. Troll harder.

Wow, you really are harsh toward everyone, aren’t you, HLPhat?
Unpeacable, ungentle, unwilling to yield, empty of mercy... are you sure you’ve been reading the manual, because your decisions on this thread are really undermining your claim.


Two Kinds of Wisdom
James 3:13-18

Who is wise and understanding among you? Show by your good life that your works are done with gentleness born of wisdom. But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not be boastful and false to the truth. Such wisdom does not come down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, devilish. For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there will also be disorder and wickedness of every kind. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without a trace of partiality or hypocrisy. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace for those who make peace.

Hearing and Doing the Word
James 1:19-27

You must understand this, my beloved: let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger; for your anger does not produce God’s righteousness. Therefore rid yourselves of all sordidness and rank growth of wickedness, and welcome with meekness the implanted word that has the power to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not merely hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if any are hearers of the word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like. But those who look into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and persevere, being not hearers who forget but doers who act—they will be blessed in their doing.

If any think they are religious, and do not bridle their tongues but deceive their hearts, their religion is worthless. Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to care for orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

More of your own words because you can’t quote anything from me resembling that. Keep digging your hole deeper, troll.

My own words are that you evidently don't have the common sense to recognize the due penalties inflicted upon a culture that refuses to acknowledge and follow the instructions for marriage and human procreation given by the Creator of Natural Law.

How's that cup of FAIL workin' for ya?

Tell us about the Social structure enforced by Western Lowlands Gorillas, super genius.

Contrary to the uniformed opinion you pulled out of your arse, they don’t allow the humping of everything that moves... either.

“Tell us about the Social structure enforced by Western Lowlands Gorillas, super genius.”

I commented on “most things in nature”, all you respond with is “Western lowland gorillas”, which certainly don’t constitute “most things in nature”. In fact, monogamy is a rare strategy in nature:

“Social monogamy is relatively rare in the animal kingdom. The actual incidence of social monogamy varies greatly across different branches of the evolutionary tree. Over 90% of avian species are socially monogamous.[10][16] This stands in contrast to mammals. Only 3% of mammalian species are socially monogamous, although up to 15% of primate species are.[10][16] Social monogamy has also been observed in reptiles, fish, and insects.

Sexual monogamy is also rare among animals. Many socially monogamous species engage in extra-pair copulations, making them sexually non-monogamous. For example, while over 90% of birds are socially monogamous, “on average, 30% or more of the baby birds in any nest [are] sired by someone other than the resident male.”[17] Patricia Adair Gowaty has estimated that, out of 180 different species of socially monogamous songbirds, only 10% are sexually monogamous.[18]

The incidence of genetic monogamy, determined by DNA fingerprinting, varies widely across species. For a few rare species, the incidence of genetic monogamy is 100%, with all offspring genetically related to the socially monogamous pair. But genetic monogamy is strikingly low in other species. Barash and Lipton note:

The highest known frequency of extra-pair copulations are found among the fairy-wrens, lovely tropical creatures technically known as Malurus splendens and Malurus cyaneus. More than 65% of all fairy-wren chicks are fathered by males outside the supposed breeding group.[16]p. 12

Such low levels of genetic monogamy have surprised biologists and zoologists, forcing them to rethink the role of social monogamy in evolution. They can no longer assume social monogamy determines how genes are distributed in a species. The lower the rates of genetic monogamy among socially monogamous pairs, the less of a role social monogamy plays in determining how genes are distributed among offspring.”
