Claiming love is a Christian hallmark, they reason that homosexual romance is compatible with Christianity. Of course, only bigots and hatemongers disagree.
Such credulity would be dismissive were it not so tragic. In Scripture, being in love is not the sole basis for acceptable sexual relationships. This is due to the fallibility of mankind, which redounds on discernment.
Thus, romantic attractions can seem justified when they are, in fact, destructive. As the Proverb states: "There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death." (Pr 14:12)
This skewed human nature is exactly what Jesus reminded the Pharisees of when he pointed out God's intent for human sexuality: lifetime monogamy for one man and one woman.
(Mt 19:4-8)
To this day, even non-Christians acknowledge the practicality of Jesus' ethical teachings. For believers, would any among us dare call the Redeemer of mankind a bigot and a hatemonger?
No need to thank me. I'm always glad to help.
