Again, what parts of the NT support homosexual marriage and homosexual activities?

Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
The answer to this is not a significant matter. It is an effort to mask your impotence in this debate. It doesn't matter if there's no such references or 1000 such references because it is a complete distraction and irrelevancy.
I am not sure how it is "honest" but it is certainly incredibly stupid. This sort of distractor only is attempted to mask the impotence of the argument for your side. The answer is entirely irrelevant and not of concern to rational individuals.
Again, what potions of the NT support homosexual marriage or any homosexual activity?
The question is nonsensical, Hentenza, and a couple of posts from others have demonstrated WHY the question is nonsensical. There are MANY things that the Bible doesn't address. This does not necessarily make it 'not so'. There are MANY things - such as the present topic concerning one's sexual attraction toward the same gender - about which the Bible-writers were in total ignorance. This does not necessarily make it 'not so'. By all means use your Bible to enrich your own life but don't use it as a medium with which to address/explain ALL things. It just cannot be done even though a few on this forum appear to have their Holy Book strapped to their foreheads.
Once more with feeling ...the Bible says NOTHING about one's sexuality, be it heterosexual or homosexual. Science, however, has VERY MUCH to say about sexuality.
I guess anything that does not meet with your views are just stupid, dishonest, detractors, etc. but I am yet to see you post an answer to any of the questions and/or arguments directed at you. Are you capable of a civil debate or not?
The bible says plenty about homosexuality; actually it screams about how wrong ...
It is nonsensical to you because it does not support your position. Funny how that bible is used to prove points but not to disprove points by the camp that you support. You just can't have it both ways.
The bible says plenty about homosexuality; actually it screams about how wrong it is but just ignored by many that choose to ignore it. As to science just remember what Albert Einstein said "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."
What part of the Bible commands, or indeed even enables, Christians to hurl invective towards others for disagreeing with them? What part of the Bible enables any Christian to set him/herself up as the authority to whom others should turn for the authoritative meaning of the Biblical text?
Whether or not homosexual people may marry each other (and no Phinehastic quibbling, what is meant by that usage is same sex marriages) is immaterial to the duty of members to be civil to each other under the rules of the board, and the duty of Christians to show courtesy and respect towards others, even returning good for evil and a soft word for a bitter one.
What has been shown in this forum by and large is the inability of people who call themselves followers of Jesus Christ to obey even his simplest commandments as regards how they should bear witness to others. (Of course many such people believe in the Bible rather than in Jesus, and found their insults on selective quotation supposedly justifying them as "proclaiming righteousness," and I sincerely hope that He does not hold that idolatry against them.)
For the gay person, the "Good News" seemingly is that they are fated to live a life without love, and choose between being sneered at and castigated by the "good Christians" or living a lie about themselves. There is no promise of joy, acceptance, fellowiship, God's love, or anything but legalistic condemnation. If any of you wonder why your "witness" is so barren, consider what you are witnessing about. You have as much as told gay people that God's grace is not sufficient for them.
And for that you should be ashamed.
Dear Mskedi,
On the contrary I have explained why we can make the comparison with all of us from the Bible, its because all are sexual immorality outside marriage. This is a Christian forum and thus we may use God's Biblical testimony as a basis for our views, whether people find it discourteous or not.
You are also asking for a special exemption for LGBT so they wont be compared, I see no similar request from those you call straight..

Calm down people. It's starting to get heated in here. Ironically so in a thread discussing the promotion of civility in this subforum..

Isn't civility the topic of this thread?
Oh my goodness ...Christians might blame Gay Marriage for the next CA earthquake.
Dear KCKID,
Sorry but Christians know there is no such thing as gay marriage. Marriage is man and woman, male and female, husband and wife, bride and bridegroom, the Bible is full of these countenanced, it is God's creation purpose (Genesis 2) Gay means having a same-sex attraction, the two are not connected.
According to The Bible marriage can be between one man and many women...according to The Bible marriage can also have concubines as well...
The Old Testament was written by rich powerful men to benefit rich powerful men.

Dogmatic pronouncements like this are pretty far from civil.
Let's be blunt, Lynn--you are the source of a lot of incivility. I actually agree with you on a lot of substantive matters (your flawed hermeneutic of the entire OT notwithstanding). But your dogmatic pronouncements, your snide insults, and your barely disguised contempt contribute nothing to the civility of the discourse here.
