The first one is Jesus answering a specific question regarding divorce.
2 Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"


The second is Paul discussing sex.

Neither say that marriage is ONLY one man and one woman.

If you spit on Gods covenants He will destroy you physically and spiritually He will not tolerate tweaking them! All within range of His judgment whether a believer or those opposed to same sex can and will
Suffer collateral damage even death. The Vail of protection is lifted for a specific time as it was on 9/11.
war and disaster.

Except that he affirmed the male/female only marriage of Genesis. Think about it. He had a perfect opportunity to "fix" the notion that it was not for same-sex people. But he didn't. Nowhere in the Bible is marriage shown to be anything but male/female. And Jesus affirmed it.

There is a deafening silence to argue against the idea of same sex marriage.

"Gods covenants" have already been tweaked. We don't force rapists victims to marry the rapist, we don't allow multiple spouses, we don't allow the military to take all virgins as prisoners of war and force them to marry their captors, most don't have arranged marriages. We could go on and on about all the ways marriage has changed since biblical times.

Great, and if that is what YOU believe, then YOU can live according to that belief. I don't have to follow your books rules.

So let's just let anything go! Mothers and sons, brothers and sisters, people and their dogs, etc. Or maybe we should have some restrictions on it for the good of society?

I never said you had to follow the Biblical definition of it. But you asked the question and I answered it. So now you can't say that Jesus never affirmed male/female marriage.
