Genesis 1:30
And to all the beasts of the earth and all the birds in the sky and all the creatures that move along the ground—everything that has the breath of life in it—I give every green plant for food.” And it was so.

 And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
 and to walk humbly[a] with your God.

    From the primitive objectives of our ancestors to mate for sex to the strict guides of matrimony throughout documented history, mankind of the modern century has a fluid regard towards sexual companionship. Minds are constantly changing, views are constantly shifting; relationships once regarded as vile and sinful are now the subject of protests for acceptance. However, at what point does a relationship violate the ethics of humankind, where the relationship is indubitably twisted, and will remain wrong until the end the symbolic time? Among the unorthodox romantic pairings that are presented in Broken Ground by Jack Hodgins, Green Grass Running Water by Thomas King, and The Sweet Hereafter directed by Atom Egoyan, audience should attempt to…

    “There need be no such ambiguities in relationship between men and women, least of all when a men has bought a woman’s body for his use as if it were like any other commodity. The sex act itself provides acknowledgment of patriarchal right….when women’s bodies are on sale as commodities…men gain public acknowledgment as women’s sexual masters that is what I wrong with prostitution” (Jaggar, 1994, p.…

    Homosexual sex is unnatural. I don't recall anywhere in the Bible where God said it was okay for two males to conjoin in marriage or any other "activities." In fact in the book of Genesis, God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah by brimstone and fire for such homosexuality. I do not believe unnatural means that something is disgusting; something can be unnatural and disgusting, which homosexuality is. God did not form two Adam's; he formed an Adam and an Eve. I believe people do choose to be homosexual. If anybody is familiar with the Bible, then they would know homosexuality is immoral. I do believe that homosexuals would not be accepted into Heaven, considering God's act on Sodom and Gomorrah. I believe God thinks it's immoral, which in my opinion should give everybody the same opinion. Human beings are not created by homosexuals. This is the part why Adam and Eve were created. Girls should like boys and boys should like girls, end of story.…

    My first argument is coming from Leviticus 20:13, where it states “a man shall not lie with another man as he would with a woman, and if he does, this act will be considered an abomination in the eyes of God.” When God uses the word “abomination” to describe this specific sin, he is using the strongest and most intense word that He can possibly use to describe what He really thinks about this particular sin. Homosexuality is not what God intended while creating this earth and its people.…

    God created us with great diversity so that we would be able to enjoy relationships by honoring one another in godly unity. He created us to be sexual beings in order to enhance that diversity and that we might better understand who God is and what He is like. Satan has set out to destroy that which God intended for our good, that is, our relationships, our diversity and our sexuality. Two Thessalonians 2:7 speak of the “mystery of lawlessness”. Lawlessness is the premise by which Satan has reigned on this earth. By lawlessness, and in the absence of the relationship-strengthening traits of honor and righteousness, our relationships have been destroyed. And much of this destruction happens via the misconceptions surrounding our sexuality.…

    Opposition to gay marriage has increased since the summer and a narrow majority of Americans also oppose allowing gays and lesbians to enter legal agreements that fall short of marriage. Moreover, despite the overall rise in tolerance toward gays since the 1980s, many Americans remain highly critical of homosexuals ­ and religious belief is a major factor in these attitudes.…

    We're all humans created in the likeness of God, so who are we to judge them? Equality, respect, and acceptance are some of the values that we must inculcate in us with regards to these reality of homosexuality.
