R&S – Do these verses from the Bible support same-sex marriage?
1 Timothy 4:1-3
“1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.”

So. Do these verses support same-sex marriage? Please include your reasoning.
Creation Detective – Can you explain why they don’t support it?
MarriageCounseling answers:
No. There is no reason to think Paul even concieved that marriage might be interpreted as a same sex relationship. So your reading of the text would probably be very far from what the author meant to say.
Ruth asks…
Did Apostle Paul in bible book of 1Corinthians Chapter 7 verse 36 endorse sex before marriage?
1 Corinthians Chapter 7 versse 36 reads “If any one thinks that he is not behaving properly toward his betrothed, if his passions are strong, and it has to be, let him do as he wishes: let them marry — it is no sin.” RSV
MarriageCounseling answers:
I am not sure what that endorses..
Helen asks…
Sex before marriage in the Bible?
Can someone provide me with the actual verse in the Bible where it says it? In the NEW Testament?
Not fornication (imp it means don’t have sex with multiple) and not adultery (imp means cheating) if i’m wrong please educate me on the topic. again please have it from the New Testament. my gf and i have asked a bunch of pastors and they just refer to the old and speak of adultry. i personally believe one should have sex before marriage. (you get to know the person better)
MarriageCounseling answers:
Having sex is what make you married.
1 Corinthians 6:16 What? Know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? For two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
Paul asks…
Where in the bible can “No sex before marriage” be found?.. does anybody know the chapter and/or verse?
MarriageCounseling answers:
Hi Little Star,
The Bible word that your looking for is “fornication”. Following is the definition from Merriam Webster.
Fornication:
Main Entry: for·ni·ca·tion
Pronunciation: ?fo?r-n?-?k?-sh?n
Function: noun
Date: 14th century
: consensual sexual intercourse between two persons not married to each other — compare adultery
Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. (1Cor.6:18)
God doesn’t place upon us this prohibition to spoil our fun, but to protect us and others from habits that lead to heartbreak and devastation. God’s commandments are all abount preseving true love.
