Which violates the sanctity of marriage more?

Simple question. Which violates the sanctity of marriage more: 1) Two individuals of the same sex promising to spend their lives together, 2) Divorce,

 

Since you used the word sanctity I would argue that they both violate this as it becomes a religious institution at that point.

If you are talking about the state enforced state of marriage then I would argue neither as it is nothing more than a contract.

 

Although Divorce is strictly prohibited in the Holy Bible, so called gay-"marriage" is more as thousand times much worst because it pursues to abolish and extinct the mankind itself.No one in the Old Testament time dared to be not only a Sodomite but also to "marry" an other Sodomite. Such cases were not described in the Holy Bible.The gay "marriage" is a Sodomy and Perversity which can not produce children and mocks the God's Divine Plan for Mankind.

 

What is disgraceful is the idea that anyone's marriage other than your own is any of your business!

 

That violates the terms of the question which explicitly asks "more". Not "most" but more in reference to the two options provided.

I agree.

 

We must to follow the Law of God, no ifs, no buts!

 

Divorce. Everyone is rushing into marriage and then have one fight and get divorced. So funny.

 

Which laws specifically?

 

I'll bet it says something in there about minding your own business. I don't really care, though, as I am not a big believer in fantasy.

 

So we can rape women, kill unruly children, and talk to donkey's?

 

Trolling?
Not everyone is a christian and has to follow your beliefs. Who is it your business if someone across the country you do not know wants to get married.

 

The real violation would be a loud-mouthed woman with curlers in her hair and a bathrobe yelling at her husband as he drives off to work.

Joke...I joke.

 

of the "sanctity" of marriage never met my ex.

 

Think of all the good genes monks and nuns made extinct - as they had a perfect right to. I'd not use the expression 'sanctity' myself, but I think it is very good for people to learn to get on with one person and make allowances, even if there are no children, so I can't see why it shouldn't be a good plan for those whose sexual orientation is not the traditionally accepted one. I'm old enough to remember old blokes making nuisances of themselves in public urinals, which, if God has a plan, did not strike me as a very impressive part of it. You'd get more sympathy if you were a little less self-righteous, if you ask me.

 

Divorce, obviously. It goes against your marriage vows.

 

Gay marriage will not mean the end of all mankind, Ostap. Good grief, what a ridiculous thing to even think.

 

Please tell me you dont believe that dribble....
You are against it cos a book of fairytales and your imaginary friend say its bad???

 

Book of fairytales and B/S. It should be banned as the church is nothing but a BUSINESS and a haven for pedophiles.

 

Same sex.....

The Bible clearly states it's ungodly and sinful, for example 1 Timothy 1 verse 8:

8 We know that the law is good if one uses it properly. 9 We also know that the law is made not for the righteous but for lawbreakers and rebels, the ungodly and sinful, the unholy and irreligious, for those who kill their fathers or mothers, for murderers, 10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine 11 that conforms to the gospel concerning the glory of the blessed God, which he entrusted to me.

But there are provisions in the Bible where Divorce is not a sin, for the person that is sinned against. It is hard to find, so this link explains it better than actually trying to find the verses:

http://www.bible.com/bibleanswers_result.php?id=151

God does not condemn a man (or woman) for divorce if the other is sexually immoral. Divorce isn't ok though for just any reason at all. I divorced my 1st husband because he was a pervert (actually trying to get me into wife-swapping and wouldn't give up on it). So i don't feel that God condemned me for leaving. I've been re-married and have been now for 31 years.

 

Actually, it's a disingenuous question.

Since marriage is the union of a man and a woman, then the answer is obviously Divorce. The decision taken by two individuals of the same sex to spend their lives together is irrelevant to the sanctity of the union between two members of the opposite sex.

 

i talk to jackasses all day here.

 

Maybe you should quit the Quorum.

 

Then why don't you take some of your own advice and stay out of other people's religions and mind your own business.

See what I did there?

 

This whole issue drives me insane, moreso than more important topics.
I think that the whole gay marriage argument is fundamentally ridiculous, especially because Republicans are the strongest opponents of it!

Since when is it "not ok" for the government to intervene in gun ownership, an issue that (potentially) affects other people, but it's perfectly fine for religion to intervene in the government to intervene with who marries who. Why does it even matter to anyone? How in the world does it "devalue" your marriage? It doesn't affect you! You don't even have to think about it, no one is making you!

And back to the poll, the fact that the vows are broken and the couple is divorced is better than two people of the same sex getting married? Neither affect you, and neither should "threaten you," but seriously?

You can't keep thumping the bible and then backtracking. I can't help but feel like the bible itself has become irrelevant. How could there have been a God that punished adultery with death? That punished working on the Sabbath with death? That thought that slavery was ok, but those two weren't? "Oh, even though that stuff is crazy, it still says the gays can't marry, that it's a sin."

Give me a break. Especially Republicans. You used to want less intervention, not more to suit your needs. What happened to the GOP? To separation of church and state? But hey, I'm biased. I'm agnostic after all.

 

Divorce is a failer of the Church to support and prepare couples for the future together. Unfortionatly it damages our whole society and has (in my oppinion) lead to higher rates of crime, homelessness, and poverty.


Same sex couples cannot get married in the eyes of the Church, so from my perspective they cannot be married. BUT if they want to be together and say they are married it does not concern me. As long as the Church is not forced to perform the ceramony I could care less. Every one sins and no sin is unforgivable. As such this whole issue with homosexuality is a red herring and a over blown issue. The Church should be concentrating on supporting couples and teaching their flocks how to stay together and not condeming gays. Judge not lest ye be judged.
