Heterosexuality doesn't fall under the umbrella of sexual immorality. God designed our bodies, minds and spirits to function in the realm of heterosexuality.
Once more--Chapter and verse if you please? Where does it explicitly state--God designed our bodies, minds and spirits to function in the realm of heterosexuality

Genesis. He created Adam and Eve. He didn't create Adam and Steve. That may sound crass, but nowhere in Scripture is it EVER suggested that marriage is anything but male/female. Even when multiple wives were allowed, it was a man and his wife and his wife and his wife.
When Jesus was given a chance ot address it, what did he do? He affirmed the Biblical view of marriage. He did not suggest in any way that same sex marriage was God's will, or that it should be allowed.

Genesis deals with procreation and making babies...not long term relationships and surely not as a mandate. The only mandate given to Adam and Eve Duggar was to MULTIPLY (like rabbits) and populate the earth..obviousy something SSM cannot do...
Thanks for paying another round of JUSTIFY DISCRIMINATION BASED ON NON-Existent VERSES..
Please feel free to try again..Because Genesis dos not expressly FORBID SSM...when I read "between" the lines I see SEX, BABY MAKING and poopy diapers (or what ever was used--FIG LEAVES??
Nothing prohibiting SSM or LGBTQ folks from having equality..
Jesus spoke about DIVORCE in response to another stupid question asked by the Pharisees...

Find for me in Genesis 2 WHY God created Eve. Do you know? It wasn't just to have babies.

OUTstanding observation! And the point is that marriage is not just about procreation, but about a relationship. That part is best fulfilled by a person who meets the attraction element of the beginning and continuous part sex plays in that relationship apart from procreation.
But he makes a great point. I absolutely agree that we gloss over the sinful behavior of many people in the church. But why the false dichotomy? We are to call people to repentance regardless of the sin. I agree that the church has completely failed in that regard.
But he also demonstrated a lack of understanding of the Mosaic Law. He seemed to dismiss homosexuality as a sin because it's from Leviticus, but completely ignored the fact that Jesus did preach the Biblical definition of marriage.
What Jesus preached has to do with divorce not homosexuality...
I've asked several times for somebody to quote the Biblical DEFINITION of marriage, but all I ever get are references to a wedding, a bride, etc. No definition. I thought one of these people who know the Bible so well would know where the definition is.
You are not going to find it because homosexuality didn't exist back then, don't ya know?...I do know however that a gay man can't travel...
