I still couldn't find anything that forbids same-sex marriage. I know that it is forbidden in Islam, but not sure whether it is also forbidden in Christianity. Again, I am not an authority, just simply curious of what the Bible has to say. But, I do know that the Bible talks about union between same sexes being a sin. However, union in that context doesn't mean marriage. Union came to mean marriage not until the Middle Ages.

MARRIAGE DEFINITIONS

1. The legal union of a man and a woman as husband and wife. (American Heritage College Dictionary)

2. To dwell together – sexually – cohabitation. (Hebrew translation, Old Testament, Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible)

3. Give in marriage – espouse a thugater (female) to an aner (man). (Greek translation, New Testament, Strong’s Expanded Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible) In the Greek, “aner” is NEVER used of the female sex.


The truth is what it is. You can support homosexual marriage but you can't do it with Biblical support.
