Well, THIS POSTER has come to that conclusion based on years of Biblical study, teaching, and training with the enlightenment of the Holy Spirit. THIS POSTER thinks it is pretty darn clear in the Bible.This is of course nothing authoritative, merely this poster's opinion.

There are no examples of families in the Bible where the Dad is a nuclear engineer or the Mom is a desktop publisher either, so, your assertion is invalid.
They said the same thing about interracial kids too.
I used to go to a United Methodist church. After reading these posts, I see that the denomination has continued its wayward trek away from teaching grounded in the Bible. I am very glad I left the church in favor of more Biblically rooted teaching. Having "open hearts, open mind" like your commercial says goes to a point, but sin must be dealt with, salvation preached, and the Bible must be revered above all.Well, no LGBT couple in their right mind, in my opinion anyhow, would go to a church that did not honor LGBT families. But there are some who come from extreme fundamentalist-evangelical backgrounds and don't wish to leave it. Metropolitan Community Church is kind of like that, started by the gay Pentecostal preacher Troy Perry and pretty much evangelical through and through except for their affirmation of LGBT individuals and families.
I think everyone should be treated with dignity and worth.

How so? Maybe I can clarify.
How can something "inappropriate behavior with animals" be unnatural?As I posted previously:
Homoeroticism is irrational, contrary to order, contrary to our telos, and bestial.
Specifically, I base it on what is usually referred to as "natural law."
How can something "inappropriate behavior with animals" be unnatural?
I wish these people trying to justify their irrational hatreds could at least be consistent... stick with either "its no better than what animals do", OR "its unnatural"
but using both homophobic bingo tiles in the same debate, let alone the same post, really shows that you are far more interested in justifying your indoctrinated, illogical a priori position than actually attempting to understand or learn anything new.
I think thats basically correct, anyone can love another person, the issue of gay union, or same sex union is as the OP proposes, unhealthy for the children and child abuse. It is so because the child is the product of a man and woman, a male and a female and as such is designed to be raised by those who produced the child. Any thinking about same sex unions is consequently dysfunctional.That's not necessary. It was clear from your stated opinions earlier that you do not regard LGBTs loves for one another as good and holy as heterosexuals, which constitutes a denial of their sacred worth.
To Texas Lynn,

As to Holy, what is Holy to God is what God has made holy, and God has created woman for man, Genesis 2, Matt 19 etc. God has pronounced same sex unions as defiled and unholy, Lev 18 and 20, Romans 1 etc.
Adoption by same sex couples, based on the Biblical testimony, yes it should be seen as abuse in my opinion.I guess adoption should be labeled as child abuse too then.
That's true enough, which is why I propose splitting the state.

I would not go as far as to call it "child abuse" but it's clearly not the ideal family situation to raise kids in. It teaches them a warped and unbiblical worldview. And to those that go as far as to follow this up with the typical argument that adoption should be abuse, it's not, but it's better for those cases where the child's parents simply don't want to be parents or die. It's best for a child to be with his/her biological parents, but life does not always work out that way. Adoption by a loving heterosexual couple, or even a loving single parent is more acceptable that a gay couple, Biblically. But the BEST situation is to have a father and a mother in the house, loving the kids and bringing them up in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord."To Texas Lynn,

Just because we can't achieve perfection does not mean we should stop striving for it.Nothing ever is.
People say bad things about Christians all the time.Some would say the same thing about parents who are fundamentalist Christians.
Trying to get inside my head once again? I am not "uniformed regarding diversity blah blah blah." Adoption professionals disagree with me? Oh well. They may be uninformed about the authority of Scripture.Only to those uninformed regarding the diversity of family life and the inappropriateness of such judgments. Adoption professionals disagree with you.
Persecuted for the Gospel. That's awesome! The more that happens, the more unbelievers prove the Bible is right. Jesus said it would happen.This should not be up to anyone except the parents and their representatives. In a jury trial over custody, if anyone expressed that on voir dire, they'd be excused, and rightfully so.
