If they want a civil union then I don't care.


So what you're saying is that you've never been attracted to any woman other than your wife? Because if you ever had been, God would be tempting you, and we know that can't happen.



Satan is the one who tempts us not the lord


Could you remind me what Jesus specifically said with regard to homosexuality?


Not much specifically. Jesus did however follow the Law of Moses which had quite a bit to say about homosexuality. You have to remember that Jesus was sent to the children of Israel. They agreed with and followed the Law of Moses. Jesus had no need to teach or argue every aspect of the law.

Paul however was sent to the gentiles and did teach on homosexuality since the law was a foreign concept to them.

All of this however is not to suggest that either Paul or Jesus intended men to live by the law. The law is a picture of perfection which only Jesus could measure up to. The law can be a guide and teacher but it is not to be the measuring stick against which we judge ourselves or others. Our goal as Christians is to become immersed in the character of Jesus.Love is the end of the law, for if we love others and God, we don't have to look to the law as a guide, we fulfill the law through love.
