I Think Everyone Has the right to love and be with and marry who ever of there choosing! WE DO NOT have the right to push our believes on any one! Think about this. Our first Mother and father was Adam and Eve. if you really want to get deep about it. It was first Adam and Lilith. Genesis 1:27 - "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them" but God didn't create Eve til Genesis 2:22"And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man." At least to the Jews. The Jews don't have a concept of Satan like the Christians do, so when they read about the Fall of Mankind (in the Garden of Eden), they identify the Serpent NOT with Satan but with somebody else--a demon named Lilith (based on the Hebrew word for "night"). Lilith was Adam's wife BEFORE Eve, but the couple split because Lilith refused to be subordinate to Adam. When Eve was created, Lilith became jealous and sought her revenge against humanity by tempting Eve to eat the fruit. Lilith continued to be a figure in Jewish mysticism long after the Biblical text was written. She was personified as a baby-snatcher (thus, newborns had to be protected from Lilith using ceremonial magic), as well as something of a night-rapist. Men who had nocturnal emissions (wet dreams) were said to have been visited by Lilith. It is understandable, then, why the Jews considered nocturnal emissions unclean. And if you really want to pull teeth. Who is Cane's Wife? Adam and Eve had at least 3 sons (Cain, Abel & Seth) that were named, and God knows how many other sons and daughters, and since this event(if it occurred at all) predated Deuteronomy law, it would be perfectly alright for Cain to take a sister as wife. I really think that we all have a gene that is dormant then one day someone in there family has someone who is ether gay lesbian or bi sexual and maybe rejects them due to them being that way they are forcing the issue that it is a choice then labeling it as a sin! I know the argument. God said Be fruitful and multiply,not be the fruit and die! He created it all everything! WE ARE ALL CHILDREN OF GOD NO MATTER WHO WE ARE OR WHAT WE DO OR BELIEVE IN! IT IS NOT OUR PLACE TO JUDGE ANYONE IN ANY WAY! Remember this... Matt 7:2-5 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged [if we judge with an evil heart or dark intent, His judgment of us will reflect it; if we judge nobly with honesty and justice, His judgment of us will reflect that, too], and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you [if we use extremes or exaggerations or other ignoble means, His judgment of us will reflect it and judging with fairness and compassion will garner likewise in His judgment of us]. Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye [point out his sins, "minor" in Jesus' example here] and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye [our own sins, even and especially those we will not admit, magnified by our selective blindness]? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' [tell him of his "minor" sins] when all the time there is a plank in your own eye [that there are greater or the same sins in our own lives which we do nothing about or think we are above]? You hypocrite* [pointing out the sins of others while by pretense thinking of ourselves as above sin], first take the plank out of your own eye [sincerely ask the Lord for forgiveness and learn and live the Truth and Light by His Word], and then you will see clearly [be in a righteous position] to remove the speck from your brother's eye [to judge and to help him out of his bondage to sin]." At Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan, Jesus was talking to the multitudes gathered there after hearing of His message and of His healings to beseech them to not become like the pharisees and hypocrites who think they are above sin. And I'm Straight as an arrow! * Jesus' use of "hypocrite" in this verse is "hupokrites" meaning an actor, stage player, a dissembler, pretender.
And, as a FEW examples of His desire for us to judge,
1Cor. 6:2-3 Do you not know that the saints [the saved; Christians] will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!
Prov. 3:21 My son, preserve sound judgment and discernment, do not let them out of your sight;
John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Jer. 22:3 Thus saith the LORD; Execute ye judgment and righteousness...
Phil. 1:10 so that you may be able to discern [judge] what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ...
Phil. 1:7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you [judge you]...
