Bible Question: So does this mean that the couples ( man and woman) who can't have a baby....should they be ostracized also? This is the same argument...they can't have a baby so they're wrong. Please. |
Bible Answer: ptgard, "So does this mean that the couples ( man and woman) who can't have a baby....should they be ostracized also? This is the same argument...they can't have a baby so they're wrong. Please." That was not my point. Many couples go for years unable to conceive, and some do conceive when they think all hope is lost. I speak from personal experience. But some do not. However, they are performing a natural act whose natural outcome is the possibility of conceiving a new life. That is not the case with homosexual intercourse. It can never produce life, which is the natural function and purpose of sexual intercourse as God designed it. "Be fruitfull and multiply. It is not the temptation to homosexual intercourse that is sin, but the act itself. We are all tempted in various ways. Sin is always an act against our nature as God created us to be, in favor of some disordered disire, whether it be a sexual sin or some other kind. Emmaus |
