LET’S GET IT STRAIGHT
In understanding Scripture, the “law of the first mention” is critical. When God states something the first time, He lays down a foundation for that truth. He develops it throughout the rest of His Word, but never changes or deviates from the “first mention.” In God there is “no variation or the slightest hint of change” (James 1:17 (NET). His Word is true from the beginning and from the beginning His Word is true! (Psalm 119:160).The first mention of marriage in the Bible is in Genesis 2:21-25. In this passage God speaks of the man and his wife and the father and mother. God puts male and female together, His plan from the eternity. There is no mention of same sexes.
If we want something to work properly, we must read the manual from the One who designed it. God created our bodies, and He designed marriage. We better make sure we take notice of His manual.
One of the synonyms of marriage is matrimony, usually called “holy matrimony” -- the union of a man and woman for life. It comes from the Latin word, “matrimonium,” from “mater,” from which we get the words: mother, maternal, maternity, matrimony, marriage, wedlock, nuptial, connubial, and hymneal (which comes from hymen, the virginal membrane pertaining to marriage),
Therefore, the full understanding of marriage is that the wife becomes a mother. This cannot happen naturally in a homosexual relationship. It is totally unnatural and against God’s divine order of creation and eternal plan for us.
We cannot bow to mortal man’s deception, distortion, and desecration of divine truth.
