    It's legal for a couple who doesn't get along to live apart.

    That post which you replied to has nothing to do with homosexuality.

    So you don't believe in Genesis?

    How do you know?

    Yeah, nothing from the Bible then. I've always wondered about this.

    Bishop Stowe of Lexington was referenced as being "gay". How do we know that?

    He is a full blown libotard who hates Trump and supports gay marriage but that does not make him gay.

    Marriage existed before the government had asset sharing agreements.

    During the time of Luke, if possible (I don't know the laws then), he would have gotten a government license to be a doctor. There was always a certain government involvement with certain things.

    Homosexuality is a sin condemned in the Holy Bible.
    LGBT can't fight God

    The Holy Bible is a sin condemned by me in the 21st century; I'm not LGBT but anyone can fight that logic.
    Because it was written by dead men means nothing to me.

    Mark 10:6 - 9, "But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will join to his wife, and the two will become one flesh so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate."
    Meaning: As marriage under God decrees that you are one, let no mere mortal separate your sacred union.

    Male - man; Female - Woman
    How to join together is up to the laws of the land in which the man and woman are joined as one flesh. Obviously, there are still two personages. But, they agree as though they are one personage. This is natural law for human beings. The Animal and lower kingdoms abide by their laws of their natures. For mankind to act and behave as the lower creatures is a sin against God's natural laws. Nowhere in the Bible to we have it approved of God to have men with men and women with women as a man and woman naturally procreates or the natural use of mankind (Romans Chapter 1).

    You should read Jeffery Dahmer's book on why he rationalized what he did. He took Darwin and his minions word about no God and therefore no laws and commandments and killed and committed cannibalism. With no God, there is no reason not to eat any animal. And, since atheists believe humans are just another animal, eating humans is natural and correct to do. And, so he did.
    As far as other creatures ability to commit genocide, you will find this in the insect kingdom. Army Ant, for instance. But, I digress. Back to Dahmer's reasoning, why not treat human beings as nonessentials so that it's okay to mass kill groups of nonessential people. Eliminate God and there is nothing stopping this. To you it may be inhumane but to other humans it's natural if there is no God with commandments stopping this.

    What's the difference between a marriage and a friendship in terms of the relationship-more commitment?

    A friendship is between a man and a man, woman and a woman or man and woman without joining as one flesh (male and female intercourse). As the Savior said, we can love one another without being sexual. We can even preach the Gospel with love to those that sin. Jesus did that often without engaging in sexual perversions. The act of preaching against sin is an act of love. Christ would do this often with parables attempting to reason logically with sinners. Even sinners of vile sins. Was his teaching and preaching always received well? Nope. As in the house of ill-repute. Was his teaching and preaching received well with the Religious leaders of the Jews? Nope. However, he did try to do with parables and just out right preaching against the prevailing beliefs. Being silent about sin and evil is not "love." It's "Indifference." And, that is what you would like me and others who speak out against LGBTQ behaviors to be, indifference. Just let it be, right? See, the opposite of love isn't hate. It's indifference.

    Lookie here, I may have said I condemned the Holy Bible in the 21st Century,
    but that's only because this church messed with the calendar!
    Brothers and Sisters, it is more like the 121st Century, ain't no B.C before Christ b/s!
    People in 4 B.C weren't going giddy with excitement that the countdown was finally over in 4 years after waiting so long, no!
    People in 4 B.C didn't call it 4 B.C, that's one truth you've got accept, so if anyone is full of lies, suppressing us lying b/s evil, spawn on the devil unto humanity, it's the Holy Bible, we know not of our year and I assume people might not be aware of the Human Era/Holocene Era, such as the Father of All Lies, Prince of Darkness, Wolf in Sheep's Clothing wants it to be!

    this is you inserting your own interpretation. Nowhere in the bible is homosexuality mentioned, let alone condemned as a sin.

    which has no relevance to the fact nowhere in the bible is homosexuality mentioned, or condemned as a sin. Why do you quote from gotquestions? Nothing you post from there has any relevance to anything being discussed, nor does anything there have any basis in fact.

    I tell you one thing, I found my own religion, then we'd see who and what we'd condemn.

    Romans 1:26-27

    Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

    no it doesn't. homosexuality is not mentioned anywhere in any chapter or verse in the bible. Why do you post things from gotquestions? Nothing there is relevant, or has any basis in fact.

    Romans 1:26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature
