I find that very strange, because there ARE mixed race marriages in the Bible. Moses is one that comes to mind.
There are NO homosexual marriages in the Bible however.

Take a look at the following Wiki articles:

Loving v. Virginia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I see that there are people that think biracial marriages should not take place. I am a little surprised at that.
I never got past the first link.. I followed a link on that page to:
http://www.biblestudy.org/basicart/interace.html
Does the Bible Forbid Interracial Dating and Marriage?".
At least this author of the article knows the truth. These are quotes from that article:
God's message for his people is consistent from the beginning right to the end. God's way doesn't change back and forth. Let's notice now from the scripture that what God forbids in His Word is not the marrying of people of different racial lineage, but interreligious marriage.
And
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers ...",
It is intereligious marriages that God forbids.
Anyway, again, there ARE biracial marriages in the Bible, but there are NOT any homosexuals unions in the Bible.

Civil weddings have nothing to do with the bible anyways! I mind my business you mind yours.

Hello Women_of_Reason.
I was responding to the post that Engyo made, saying, "Yup, and fifty years ago it was illegal for my wife and I to get married. I'm white, she's black. I would also have been barred from adopting my daughter (also black). Some of the same Bible passages (and some others) were used to defend those legal prohibitions as are being used to defend Prop 8 today.
I was surprised to hear that some believed that the Bible forbid inter-racial marriages. That is why I said there ARE biracial marriages in the Bible, but there are NOT any homosexuals unions in the Bible.

There is no TV in the Bible. Does that make TV an abomination (not that it isn't one in its own right, of course....)?
There are no automobiles or airplanes in the Bible. Are they abominations?
There are no multi-national corporations in the Bible. There are no multiplicity of Christian denominations in the Bible.
There are lots and lots of things, including arrangments between people, that aren't in the Bible. Are all of them abominations because they weren't written about in the Bible?
For that matter, things which were once considered abomination are now considered facts of life and of our world. Read up on Galileo for instance.

Absolutely!! Just kidding. You guys are really silly.
One more time... I simply said that if people used Bible verses to argue against biracial marriages, that I didn't understand how that could be possible, since there ARE biracial marriages in the Bible.
Uh yeah, that was the catholic church that ex-communicated him, or whatever their terms are. That doesn't have anything to do with the Bible, sorry.
Since I don't recall the Bible mentioning David and Jonathan solemnizing their relationship with a marriage ceremony, I suppose you may be right.
The Catholic Church doesn't have anything to do with the Bible? :sarcastic

No, but it DOES have to do with what people find acceptable in light of doctrine and so on. The Bible is often used to support the belief du jour, whether or not that is necessarily applicable. I know you don't recognize that to be so, or maybe don't want to admit it, but it does happen.

I've read the Bible cover to cover and never saw anything about David and Jonathan having a relationship. Do you have a verse to refer to or is this just something you've heard? I'd like to look it up myself.

Ex-communicating Galileo had NoThing to do with the Bible, sorry.
(Neither did the infamous catholic crusades have anything to do with the Bible.)
It seems like it's alluded to in 1 Samuel. The Wiki article gives some verse references that might help: David and Jonathan - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

You can't force acceptance. You can get every state in the nation sanctioning "gay marriage", but you can't force the populace to accept it, especially if it violates their core belief system or right and wrong.
What is love to some is sodomy to others. That does not mean those of us who do not agree with the "gay marriage" advocates here hate our brothers and sisters of the human race. We just disagree what marriage is. Marriage is a heterosexual union for the procreation of families through a contractural relationships.
1 billion homosexuals marching and chanting can't change this truth. I am sorry but this is the way it is. A dog is a dog, a tiger a tiger, a man is a man, and woman woman. Marriage is between a man and woman in most societies. In polygamous it is between one man and several women or one woman and several man(I have seen National Geographic), but never homosexual in nature. Even isolated tribes in the world who live life circa 5,000 years ago practice heterosexual marriage.
Now marches and protests have two outcomes. They either work for you or against your cause. It depends on the subject being protested AND how those who protest act. Most protesters are peaceful, but some on the lunatic fringe have been harrassing, vandalizing, intimidating, and persecuting. Not a great way to get what you want.

I don't care if you or anyone accepts it. But I demand that my government treat me as equal to you. That's it. Period.

In all fairness, the government already does. Zippy can not marry another man.

I know, I support gay marriage too. But this is one argument I do not believe holds any water. You do not have the right to marry someone you love. Love is not a requirement for marriage nor does the government recognize anything resembling "love".
