But no one who is learned in the Bible can honestly say that the Bible supports homosexual relationships. The wisdom and logic of the world may very well indicate that gay marriage is a basic right.
The passage relates to the issue of gay marriage on two levels. For it is written, 'I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart.' Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? This is the dilemma for some Christians regarding gay marriage: do we agree with what God says or follow the wisdom of the world? First Corinthians 1:18-20 says:įor the word of the cross is folly to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. In other words, we want our friends to be happy. 'If two people love each other, they should be allowed to show it.' It's especially difficult when circumstantial evidence brought about by personal observation seems to contradict the Bible.
To a person-Christian or not-who is an integral, loving part of the world, gay marriage almost makes sense. Where should we, as Christians, stand on gay marriage?Ī Christian can come at the issue of gay marriage from several different directions.
