Indeed he did and after reading it in context I believe it is referring to Jews and Gentiles

The next day Peter started out with them, and some of the believers from Joppa went along. 24 The following day he arrived in Caesarea. Cornelius was expecting them and had called together his relatives and close friends. 25 As Peter entered the house, Cornelius met him and fell at his feet in reverence. 26 But Peter made him get up. “Stand up,” he said, “I am only a man myself.”
27 While talking with him, Peter went inside and found a large gathering of people. 28 He said to them: “You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?”

The vision was a pre-message to Peter to not be afraid to enter the house of the gentiles.

Based on what you've said here, a husband and wife who remain childless cannot, by definition, rightlfully be married.

nothing but would they get that protection if they did in fact just chose to be that way...

why do they need protection in the first place,
because of people like you maybe?

but if they cannot help themselves, should they be judged...

actually this is a problem for modern western societies to deal with and everyone (who lives in the modern western society) seems to agree that subjecting a child to an adult in a sexual manner is wrong...and have been able to figure that out with out the help of any type of divine intervention...go figure.
but it hasn't always been thought of that way, now has it?
and here, you have put yourself in a dilemma.
why would god allow for someone to be born a deviant?
where's the free will...


just an example really...:)[

if pedophiles cannot be proven to be born that way or any other sexual deviant from the norm why is it ok to assume a gay could be born that way...:)

Notice can be produced in red.Not the same as will be.If a couple does have children then the combining of the two becoming one flesh is just evidenced in the children.

they are born that way and society deems that behavior as deviant because they are subjecting a child...this has nothing to do with mutual consent.
do you understand the difference?
