Though having offspring is why marriage is created marriage should be based on the basis of how two people love one another. 4 is a prescriptive premise because the value statement of traditional customs is the only reason why society does not accept BREAKING DOWN, DIAGRAMMING AND ANALYZING ARGUMENTS 3 gay marriage. 9 is a prescriptive premise because it contains a value statement between marriage and raising children. 2 [In the United States marriage is understood to be the decision of two people to live together and be a partnership, a
This intended that he was the divine Son of God and recognised as being ‘one with the Father’. Christian adherents believe of the divinity through the birth of Virgin Mary and the Son of God. Shown in the scripture passage Matthew 1:16, “and to Jacob was born Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom was born Jesus, who is called Christ”, this can explicitly identify the Virgin birth, thus showing divinity. He was recognised as being human, living with normal human restrictions and sufferings however; was considered Son of God as his life, death and resurrection plays importance in humanity. Through the divinity and humanity of the Christ, Christians and believers share the stories through word of mouth.
Pope Paul VI’s encyclical on the Church’s teaching on procreation and the meaning and purpose of the sexual gift within a marriage. The encyclical offered reasons for the immorality of contraception and predicted what would take place if it were to become common in society; there would be an increase in marital infidelity and a general lowering of the morality of the youth. Marriage signifies the reciprocation of the “personal gift of self, proper and exclusive to them, husband and wife tend towards the communion of their beings in view of mutual personal perfection, to collaborate with God in the generation and education of new lives.” Man and woman were deliberately supposed to comprehend and appreciate each other fully in the marriage. The Catholic Church believes this can only be done when you are fully committed to one person in your marriage in your lifetime. The Bible states, “What God has joined together, no human must separate.” (Mark 10:9) Ultimately God’s plan in marriage should not be broken or compromised.
------------------------------------------------- Friar Laurence was a well-known and highly respected priest. He is the one who joined together the bond of Romeo and Juliet. Despite knowing about the great enmity between the two families, he still accepted to marry the two young lovers. His act is justifiable and he had good intentions when he agreed to run the marriage ceremonials. The act of his approval was of a good judgement.
For example, Mark 12:31 states, “ …’You shall love your neighbor as yourself,’” as Jesus’ proclamation of human relationships with one another and God. The biblical worldview acknowledges that God created man in His own image. Therefore, man should also value human relationships that are similar to their own valuation of God. This realization is vital to the biblical worldview. Otherwise, self-serving human relationships stand in our way of becoming one with Jesus Christ and go against the Word of
The Gift of Sex: A Guide to Sexual Fulfillment Abstract Clifford and Joyce Penner, husband and wife sexual therapists and educators, bring a full and biblical perspective to sexuality and sex in their book titled The Gift of Sex: A Guide to Sexual Fulfillment. The review and critique of this book reveals five major themes; a biblical perspective, the physical dimension, the total experience, when sex isn’t working and enhancing the sexual experience. Penner and Penner lay the foundation with an understanding of God’s creation and purpose for sexuality followed by an explanation of the physical aspects of the body and how it works. Next they illustrate the complete sexual experience from the beginning interests in the encounter to cleaning up afterwards. Recognizing that many people struggle with sexual issues, they address the emotional, physical and relational challenges facing people today and offer guidance in overcoming many of those issues.
This is why God created a universe fit for human life, and why he laid down guidelines for how to live our lives. According to Christianity, each one of us is created for communion with God; God wants to know us, to love us, and to rejoice with us. Examples in the Bible are Proverbs 19: 21 and Ephesians 3: 20. The most basic principle of the Christian moral life is the awareness that every person bears the dignity of being made in the image of God. He has given us an immortal soul and through the gifts of intelligence and reason enables us to understand the order of things established in his creation.
First, the position of man — and I use this term as it was used at that time, but by using it we are to refer to men and women — the position of people is elevated. Humans are no longer “worm” as the Puritans would say, but rather they are God’s worthy creatures. If Christ died for men and women, then we are obviously valuable. Thus we have the beginning of the elevation and ennobling of the ‘common man” in American History. There was a further implication resulting from this newly elevated status; before The Great Awakening, the emphasis was on God; now the emphasis is on people’s response to God.
If a person is deeply in love with a person of the same sex they shouldn’t have to worry about if the government will let them get married or not and I have many reason as to how the government is violating peoples right’s. Same sex marriage in many religions is considered a sin and that’s the
From the very beginning of time, God created Adam and Eve, man and woman. God blessed the man and the woman with the words “Be fruitful and multiply” (Sacred text). From this point on it has been known that a marriage should take place between a man and a woman. Like I stated above same sex couples do not have the ability to do as God blessed, “Be fruitful and multiply.” In the church homosexual practices are known as “sins gravely contrary to chastity.” Whether or not people believe that homosexuality is a sin is, in fact, their own opinion. People who engage in these same-sex relationships will suffer consequences whether they want to or not.
