Marriage

God defines marriage as a man leaving his father and mother and cleaving to his wife. Genesis 2:24, Eph 5:31,
What can we learn from reading Matthew 19?
1 Now it came to pass when Jesus had finished these sayings, that He departed from Galilee and came to the region of Judea beyond the Jordan.
2 And great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them there.
3 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?”
4 And He answered and said to them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
5 “and said, ‘For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?
6 “So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”
7 They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?”
8 He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning, it was not so.
9 “And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.”
10 His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.”

We learn:
  • He (God)who made them at the beginning ‘made them male and female,’
  • Man and women become one in their joining.
  • What God has joined together, let not man separate.” 
  • Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.
Please note the joining and oneness is ONLY something a male and female do. This is how God created it to be. Physically and spiritually. Mankind was made in the image of God from man and women joining they produce offspring, this speaks of the Trinity in the Godhead.

There is no place for joining same-sex couples and calling it marriage. Leviticus 20:13 says this.   "If a man lies with a male as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be upon them."

Homosexuality is two things firstly a perversion of marriage the result of worshiping the created and not the creator. Roman 1.
We have reached a point were sin has lead to heard hardheartedness and God has turned people over to homosexuality.
