The Bible explicitly states how marriage is between a man and a woman. The first marriage in the Bible was constituted by God Himself. God created a partner for Adam, Eve, not another Adam, showing that a perfect relationship requires a certain level of differences as well as similarity. When God created Eve, He did not separate Eve, but she was the part of Adam. Adam says, “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 shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh” (King James Version (KJV), Gen. 2.23-24). In the New Testament, Jesus affirms this: “And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?” (KJV, Matt. 19.4-5).
The Bible clearly does not support homosexuality, and this is not new either. God warns His people though the example of Sodom and Gomorrah: “Even as Sodom and Gomorrha [mentioned in Genesis 19], and the cities about them in like manner [about five cities were destroyed], giving themselves over to fornicatin, and going after strange flesh [homosexuality], are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire” (KJV, Jude 1.7). The same can be seen in 2 Peter 2:6: “And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly” (KJV). The Bible holds those who approve of such things just as guilty and accountable as those who practice them: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness . . . For this cause God have them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet . . . Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them” (KJV, Rom. 1.18, 26-27, 32). Earthly marriage is a shadow of our heavenly marriage with Jesus Christ, our bridegroom, wherein we are united by His love through the Holy Spirit, which is inseparable (KJV, Rom. 8.35). Therefore, the love between a man and a woman after marriage should be one that is inseparable, a true love. Also, the Bible does not permit one to divorce and remarry unless the circumstances clearly legitimizes the divorce such as in a case where one is unfaithful in the marriage. Jesus Himself says in Matthew: “And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery” (KJV, Matt. 19.9).
Often in the society, many identify themselves are Christians. Some do not have a basic understanding of Christianity, yet others ignore the teaching. It is important to address this to the society, especially to among Christians because it is important for one to know what he or she is standing for.
