Remember the God of the Bible is ......... the God spoken of IN the Bible as its author. Any other is ... not that God.
"Biblical marriage"? Particularly in the Old Testament God supposedly allowed Soloman to have a heap of concubines (apparently the dude had an insatiable libido). There is all kind of weird crap concerning that male-female relationship in the Old Testament.

I answered your question. Not sure how much more clearer I could be. But keep living in your fantasy world if it helps you win your argument.

The problem was that you wanted an honest answer.

Yes, I did. And I'm receiving insults instead of answers. I'm getting quite used to that.

Biblical marriage is male-female. That is it. No male-male or female-female.

A recent article by Rev. Albert Mohler explained this very well:
Why are Christians so concerned with homosexuality? In the first place, that question is answered by the simple fact that it is the most pressing moral question of our times. Christians must be concerned about adultery, pornography, injustice, dishonesty and everything the Bible names as sin. But when my phone rings with a call from a reporter these days, the question I am asked is never adultery or pornography. It is about homosexuality.
Right, Christians are not obesssed with homosexuality, homosexuals are (and their supporters). They bring it up and keep it going and going and .....

Indeed. He asked a question and only wanted a yes or no answer where there is no yes or no answer. The answer was: It depends and then I proceeded to explain the biblical structure by which his question would be answered dependent on the particulars. It was just more silly baiting by people who have no intentions of having logical discussions, only desiring to play a sophomoric game of 'gotcha'. Not sure what I expected...
