For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. “For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. While Jesus did not specifically teach on homosexuality, His establishment of the Genesis passages as the fundamental passages on marriage (even more fundamental than the Law) leaves no doubt as to the outcome. ![]() And what is authoritative for Jesus is authoritative for Christians also. He saw the Creation accounts in Genesis as authoritative in His day. When Jesus was asked questions about marriage he went straight back to the defining passages in Genesis that say that marriage is between male and female and is meant to be life long. “But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.’” “And He answered and said to them, ‘Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’“ Homosexual anal intercourse carries a high risk of disease, this is recognized in Scripture where gay men are said to receive in their bodies the due penalty for their error ( Romans 1:27). If God had intended the human race to be fulfilled through both heterosexual and homosexual marriage, He would have designed our bodies to allow reproduction through both means and made both means of sexual intercourse healthy and natural. Sexual intimacy between a man and a woman is the normal method of male/female bonding (emotionally and physically) because it corresponds to the design of our bodies and because it is the normal means by which offspring are created. This means that perfect partnership requires some level of difference as well as a level of similarity so great that Adam could cry out loudly, ”This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh”. When God created a partner for Adam He created Eve-not another Adam. This is only possible in a heterosexual union. ![]() The image of God is both male and female and is reflected in a godly union between male and female where the creative power of God, His life-giving, His self-giving and His moral nature are perfectly expressed. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” And Adam said: ‘This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.’ Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. ![]() Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place. ![]() But for Adam there was not found a helper comparable to him. So Adam gave names to all cattle, to the birds of the air, and to every beast of the field. And whatever Adam called each living creature, that was its name. “And the LORD God said, ‘It is not good that man should be alone I will make him a helper comparable to him.’ Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and brought them to Adam to see what he would call them. “So God created man in His own image in the image of God He created him male and female He created them.” See this page in: Hungarian God’s plan for sexuality and marriage
