Marriage

Marriage is most definitely between a man and a woman. I have many homosexual friends and relatives but I do love them, just not their lifestyle. Some are married, others have partners they live with, only one couple has children that my friend carried by sperm donor, they are both female and the kids are male. I often worry about how they are growing up with the presence of male in the house.  I know that God loves them as well but is not happy with their choices, I don’t think, maybe I’m being judgmental. But the Bible teaches from the beginning when God created Adam and Eve and commanded them to multiply and replenish the earth. He probably knew at that point there would be same sex attraction. Just like with heterosexual attraction there should be no sex before marriage. The law of chastity is for everyone, male and female, and if you live that law the Lord will bless you beyond your ability to comprehend. The Family A proclamation to the World says "ALL HUMAN BEINGS—male and female—are created in the image of God. Each is a beloved spirit son or daughter of heavenly parents, and, as such, each has a divine nature and destiny. Gender is an essential characteristic of individual premortal, mortal, and eternal identity and purpose." It goes on to say, "HUSBAND AND WIFE have a solemn responsibility to love and care for each other and for their children. “Children are an heritage of the Lord” (Psalm 127:3). Parents have a sacred duty to rear their children in love and righteousness, to provide for their physical and spiritual needs, and to teach them to love and serve one another, observe the commandments of God, and be law-abiding citizens wherever they live. Husbands and wives—mothers and fathers—will be held accountable before God for the discharge of these obligations." We are accountable to God for how we raise our children. What do you all think?
