Alpha wrote:But the bible allows a divorce on certain circumstances such as adultery, fornication, or if the unbelieveer wants to leave the believer. You cannot say the same for homosexuality. Nowhere in the bible does it give homosexuality some justification.
The Bible allows divorce for only one reason, adultery. Jesus taught that Moses not God allowed men to divorce and remarry.
Matthew 19
3 And some Pharisees came to Him, testing Him, and saying, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any cause at all?" 4 And He answered and said, "Have you not read, that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5 and said,' For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh'? 6 "Consequently they are no longer two, but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let no man separate." 7 They said to Him, "Why then did Moses command to give her a certificate of divorce and send her away?" 8 He said to them, "Because of your hardness of heart, Moses permitted you to divorce your wives; but from the beginning it has not been this way. 9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery." 10 The disciples said to Him, "If the relationship of the man with his wife is like this, it is better not to marry." 11 But He said to them, "Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given. 12 "For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."
In other words any man who divorces his wife for immorality should remain unmarried, a second marriage is not according to God’s will.
Many Christians then use Paul’s teaching on divorce in an attempt to bypass Christ’s teaching.
1 Corinthians 7:8-16
8 But I say to the unmarried and to widows that it is good for them if they remain even as I. 9 But if they do not have self-control, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to burn. 10 But to the married I give instructions, not I, but the Lord, that the wife should not leave her husband 11 (but if she does leave, let her remain unmarried, or else be reconciled to her husband), and that the husband should not send his wife away.
Now following is the section many Christians appeal to in order to justify divorce and a second marriage, but if you study it carefully Paul is doing the same thing Moses did, interjecting his teachings, not the Lord’s. But at least Paul states he, not the Lord is speaking:
12 But to the rest I say, not the Lord, that if any brother has a wife who is an unbeliever, and she consents to live with him, let him not send her away. 13 And a woman who has an unbelieving husband, and he consents to live with her, let her not send her husband away. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified through her believing husband; for otherwise your children are unclean, but now they are holy. 15 Yet if the unbelieving one leaves, let him leave; the brother or the sister is not under bondage in such cases, but God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife? NAS
29% of Southern Baptist and non-denominational Christians, 21% of Roman Catholics and agnostics/atheists have been divorced for reasons other than immorality and the vast majority have been remarried.
However, homosexuality is never approved, accepted, or sanctioned for any reason in any part of Scripture. What heterosexual Christians do in violation of Scripture does not in any way lessen or void Biblical truth. Hypocrisy is not condoned in the Bible no matter who the perpetrator is.
