Not only that, God frequently blessed polygamists like Gideon and Solomon. It is also between one man, one woman, and their God-appointed surrogate mother. Yes, in the Bible marriage is between one man and one woman.
“Biblical marriage” is one of the biggest Christian misrepresentations out there. (Please note: No if’s, and’s, or but’s in there). Here’s the thing: that sentence should have stopped after the word “people.” LGBT, white, black, sinner, saint, scoundrel, savior-you are not loving your neighbor or those you think of as “enemy” when you support violence against them. Condone violence toward people who are LGBT. As I say in all of my “ 10 Things You Can’t Do While Following Jesus” articles, this is by no means meant to be a complete list, but it’s a decent place to start.Īlso, this is not to say that people are unable to do these things when they are following Jesus, as much as it is saying if you are doing these things, you are doing something counter to the teachings of Jesus.
