From a theological perspective, marriage primarily involves a covenant-keeping relationship of mutual self-giving that reflects God’s love for us. The evidence we’ve considered here indicates that marriage is only secondarily—and not necessarily at all—about having biological children. Same-sex couples’ inability to procreate does not exclude them from fulfilling the Bible’s basis for marriage.

Some of the assless chap-wearing wide stance members of Patnet that doth protest too much probably will disagree, of course.

The nations today who are least Christian have the worst cases of Aids and death.

Wow that's the opposite of reality. For example, Uganda has a higher % of Christians than the USA, and the rate of HIV/AIDS in Uganda is more than 20 times higher than here. thomaswrong, for someone who claims to work in accounting, you're really bad at math. BTW, I can't help wondering again, why on earth do you pretend to have an Asian name - is it your idea of a false flag attack, to make Asians seem like wrongheaded Christian fundamentalists who are bad at math? Did you lose your job in accounting, to someone who was better at math and happened also to be Asian, and did that launch your misguided crusade?

Had we not had guidance from the Bibble but been as hedonistic a

society as the gay culture was back in the 70-80s

I recall some downright hedonistic hetero behaviors, particularly in the 1970s. This was among straights who did not follow the Bibble, of course.

But what's interesting is that these non-Bibblical straights did not get teh AIDS, so I'm not sure you can put it all down to the Bibble.

But there's also the issue of why, if you associate promiscuity and multiple partners with disease and death, you would oppose marriage for anyone.

The nations today who are least Christian have the

worst cases of Aids and death.

Which nations have the worst cases of death? I have seen bad cases of death, but where are the worst cases of death?

Bible is an old document. People are aware that some parts of it are no longer valid while the rest still holds true.

more likely translation of words and meanings have changed as we have greater understanding of ancient writings.

What? It's the ancient people that had more understanding of ancient writings, because they spoke it. Today, people just interpret books like the bible any way they want. The Jehovah Witnesses figured from ancient scriptures the world was gonna end and even gave dates. They were wrong 9 times and still don't give up.

The Flat Earth model is an archaic belief that the Earth's shape is a plane or disk. Many ancient cultures have had conceptions of a flat Earth, including Greece until the classical period, the Bronze Age and Iron Age civilizations of the Near East until the Hellenistic period, India until the Gupta period (early centuries AD) and China until the 17th century. It was also typically held in the aboriginal cultures of the Americas, and a flat Earth domed by the firmament in the shape of an inverted bowl is common in pre-scientific societies.

Many ancient cultures? No. ALL ancient cultures thought the world was flat. They did not have the knowledge to know better. Even Jesus thought the world was flat, because he did not have 1st grade modern education.
