2. Same Sex Marriage
(also known as gay marriage)
is marriage between two
persons of the same biological
sex or gender identity.
3. I have nothing against
homosexual people. As a
matter of fact, I have
friends that are
homosexual, I just firmly
believe that God created
marriage exclusively for
man and woman.
4. Here are the main reasons that I delved
into on why same sex marriage should
not be legalized.
6. MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN
MALE AND FEMALE
"Haven't you read," he replied, "that at the beginning
the Creator ‘made them male and female,’ and said,
'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother
and be united to his wife, and the two will become one
flesh’? So they are no longer two, but one. Therefore
what God has joined together, let man not separate."
(Matt 19:4-6)

8. I know that the people that are in favor of same sex
marriage says that marriage is all about love
intimacy and equality and thus they should not be
deprived of this right. But for me, it boils down to
the fact that God said in the bible that marriage is
for man and woman. God not only performed the
first marriage ceremony when he created male and
female, He was the originator of marriage and it
was between a man and a woman.
9. Homosexuality is a sin
Homosexuals should not think God is singling out their sins.
According to Paul in the New Testament:
“Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of
God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters
nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor
thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers
will inherit the kingdom of God.”
(1 Cor 6:9-10)
11. AWARENESS
“So God created man in His own image; in the
image of God He created him; male and female
He created them“(Gen 1:27).
God knew that it was not good for a man to
be alone, so he made a woman for Adam
12. THE CHILDREN.
"God has willed to give the union of man and
woman a special participation in his work of
creation. Thus, he blessed the man and the
woman with the words 'Be fruitful and multiply'
(Gen 1:28). Therefore, in the Creator's plan,
sexual complementarity and fruitfulness belong to
the very nature of marriage.”
13. THE STATE AND THE CHURCH
The state should get
out of the “marriage”
issue and let those
who desire it may
seek a marriage from
the Church. Let us
leave “marriage”
to the churches
and the civil
unions to the state.
14. WHERE DO WE DRAW THE LINE?
Not only does the Bible forbid
same sex marriages, but tradition
and nature prohibits it also. The
concept is against every tradition
known to the human race and is
obviously against nature. Allowing
same sex marriages will devalue
real marriages; it will open a door
of other issues such as polygamy,
incest marriages, child marriages,
and even foolish marriages
between men and animals.
15. To further conclude my speech, I firmly believe in what the bible
states about marriage, It is sacred and it is for man and woman and
people of the same sex should not indulge in such practice.
Editor's Notes
this statement describes homosexuality as detestable sometimes translated as abomination. This word is carefully used in conjunction with serious sins. homosexuality is a serious sin under the Old Testament.
In the new testament, Jesus didn’t address anything about SAME SEX MARRIAGE directly, but he did say that marriage is for MAN AND WOMAN and they shall never separate.
I know that the people that are in favor of same sex marriage says that marriage is all about love intimacy and equality and thus they should not be deprived of this right. But for me, it boils down to the fact that God said in the bible that marriage is for man and woman. God not only performed the first marriage ceremony when he created male and female, He was the originator of marriage and it was between a man and a woman.
This sin is simply part of a list of twenty other sexual unions forbidden. Other sins include adultery, incest ect. According to Paul in the New Testament, the Bible NEVER said that homosexuals are wicked, detestable or an abomination. It only refers to those people who engage in homosexual acts. Someone who has homosexual desires, but does not act on them, is not sinning. The desire is not sin. Only the action is sin.
Here we see that God not only performed the first marriage ceremony, He was the originator of marriage and it was – in the beginning – between a man and a woman. In fact, God did not make man to be joined with men or women to be joined with women, but to be joined with someone of the opposite sex. Let us be aware of what the scripture truly says about marriage. Yes it is about love and equality, but it is about something more deeper.
According to Joseph Ratzinger, DTh, Pope Benedict XVI and Cardinal Prefect of the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith Scientifically speaking, people of the same sex cannot produce a child. And one of the essences of being married is to take that love and transform it into an offspring as a sign of your love for one another-to procreate. How can people of the same sex be fruitful and multiply if they possess the same parts?
Since there has been a lot of clash between the state and the church. For this particular issue, why don’t the government let the people seek the church if they desire marriage. It is called marriage privatization concept that the state should have no authority to define the terms of personal relationships such as marriage . If people go straight to the church, same sex marriage will most likely lessen.
Nature prohibits it because there is no means of procreation yes they can adopt but biologically, they re not the true parents (Concept) as for me it is against my tradition and with what I believe in becauase as a catholic I don’t believe in same sex marrige, I believe that god created it exclusively for man and woman.
To further conclude my speech, I firmly believe in what the bible states about marriage, It is sacred and it is for man and woman and people of the same sex should not indulge in such practice.
