You missed "original creation". Since the 'fall' of man nature and society has degenerated to the point where 'unatural acts' are now accepted as natural.

There's always a recompense of such behaviour (physical, emotional and spiritual) whether we want to accept it or not.

"God, Jesus, bible.... talks a lot about love - why do gay people fall in love just as strongly, passionately and authentically as heterosexual people?"

The 'love' that is spoken of by Jesus/God does not equate to 'sex'. Love by [biblical] defintion is: "Love never gives up. Love cares more for others than for self. Love doesn't want what it doesn't have. Love doesn't strut, Doesn't have a swelled head,
Doesn't force itself on others, Isn't always "me first," Doesn't fly off the handle,
Doesn't keep score of the sins of others, Doesn't revel when others grovel, Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth, Puts up with anything, Trusts God always, Always looks for the best, Never looks back, But keeps going to the end." - 1 Corinthians 13:3-7

"If sex is only for procreation - why is it so pleasurable and why is it so pleasurable for gay people?"

Procreation is meant to be and is pleasurable.

According to Jesus, "In the ORIGINAL [beginning] creation, God made male and female to be together [marriage]. Because of this, a man leaves father and mother, and in marriage he becomes one flesh with a WOMAN-no longer two individuals, but forming a new unity. Because God created this organic union of the two sexes, no one should desecrate his art by cutting them apart." - Mark 10:6-9

Marriage is not defined by 'ceremony' nor requires one but rather is a life long committment between a male and a female.

People who are not religious recognise that same-sex marriage is against the natural order. And just because it is deemed 'acceptable' to a small minority the very act is against the natural order of which man has no monopoly over or control of.

Regardless of where our sexual orientation may lie we are ALL the product of a male and female (whether through IVF, test tube or natural conception).

The very fact that a few feel they have the 'right' to contest the 'natural order' confirms the writings of those who spoke of such things many years ago, "So God said, in effect, "If that's what you want, that's what you get." It wasn't long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes!

Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either—women didn't know how to be women, men didn't know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches.

Since they didn't bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it's not as if they don't know better. They know perfectly well they're spitting in God's face. And they don't care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!" - Romans 1:24-32

Great 'Cut N' Paste' job MacDonaldBank1.

First, you are correct in that Leviticus applies to the priesthood of the children of Israel. Reason being they were to set a 'godly example' to the surrounding nations and to remain distinct from the ungodly practices that led to the downfall of such nations, an example being Sodom and Gororrah in Genesis 19.

Today those same 'laws' apply without the 'physical judgment' carried out by man.

I have yet to know of the stoning of any gays by churches in the UK or elsewhere. if this were the case then obviously they are disobeying God.

When the woman was caught in adultery Jesus said to her, "Go and sin no more". He also rebuked the pharisees who brought her to him by saying "he who is without sin cast the first stone". Why? He knew that those men also took part in her adultery. How did they know where she lived and they even said, "she was caught in the VERY ACT". Under the law BOTH parties were to be stoned.

The Law was written to show man that it is impossible to live by God's law because we are not perfect. Simple.

But He has made a way for us to be 'perfected' by our acceptance of Jesus' death on the cross (a very public execution).

We now have access to God through Him without condemnation or guilt of our PAST. We must "sin no more" in order to receive forgiveness and inherit eternal life.

Judgment now lies solely in the hands of God but His laws still apply to how we must conduct our lives. It is clear that those who partake in same-sex relationships WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heaven - 1 Corinthians 6:9. Therefore, as it is obvious that we all will die one day this temporal 'fighting' for social recognition and 'forced acceptance' is futile.

As one who believes in the life teachings of Jesus one must look at the context in which he says things and also the people he is addressing. As Peter wrote, "The main thing to keep in mind here is that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private opinion." 2 Peter 1:19 (One cannot make it say what it doesn't say.)

Lol!! (I am black by the way) Response MaSek12.

As for attributing the Gay Rights to Black Civil Rights, there's no comparison. People like Martin L. King campaigned for humanitarian rights and not human rights. There's a difference.

There is a massive difference between human rights and humanitarian rights. There is a huge difference to a right to a lifestyle, and the right to have three square meals a day.

For example, Christ went about feeding the hungry and healing the sick, he took care of their humanitarian rights.

However, Christ taught against lifestyles that were an anethema to God's laws, and those who considered it their human right to engage in such practices.

Everyone has the right to autonomy, and make their own decisions as to what is right for them..it is the free will that God allows us. However, God would prefere us to use such free will to respect & live by his laws eg the universal laws of nature and the physiological/anatomical design of all creatures to function in natural relationships determined by such criteria - Mark 10:6-9 (The Message version).

It would seem therefore, the law of Human Rights is determined to eliminate any form of critcism to the degenerate practices of an ungodly world, which it so vociferously supports, which is of no surprise as we move into this new age of 'change' - Romans 1:18-32; 2 Thessalonians 2:3.

Interesting that it's cheaper to fly to the west coast of America than the Caribbean? Mind you, why the surprise? I find it odd that as black people we seem 'shocked' at the way western governments treat us. We 'really' are asleep.
