I dont want to marry a bible, I'd prefer to marry a woman.
Heathen.
(But no man+man or woman+woman. That would be a sin)
uniquemixture said:You're forgetting Israel + tamar (his dead son's wife) although that was more of a hookup.
It's a trade off. Man can't sleep with other men (if that's what they like), but women have to marry their rapists.What's amusing is that I think the prohibitions about homosexuality only specifically refer to men. I can't quite remember this sec, but I don't think there is a place in the bible that says a women shall not sleep with a woman.

You're forgetting Israel + tamar (his dead son's wife) although that was more of a hookup. Absalom + his sister. And Hosea being "commanded by God" to marry a prostitute.
Oh yeah, Abraham + his half-sister Sarah
To fair the first two examples are examples of people doing th wrong thinindium bing to passions and in the third god is trying to use the example of hosea and goner to illustrate his faithfulness to Israel despite their frequent bouts of idol worship.
edit: Oh, and by their standards, I and every male who ever lived, and their dogs, cats, and every other creature under the sun is going to burn in hell for "onanism". Whether we jerked off or had wet dreams (either is inevitable), it's the Lake of Fire for us. And if you think can be free of this sin, then you will go to another section of hell for false testimony.
She wasn't a "goner," she was "Gomer."
But I agree that that one was different.

I'm on an iPhone the auto correct destroys everything.
It wasn't until they started overthinking everything and guilting themselves about pointless bullshit that everything went downhill.
not true.firstly, I'm not trying to convert you just dishing out some info, so here it goes. from the Christian perspective this sin, and all sins are an inevitable part of human nature. The way to avoid hell isn't to never sin ( an impossibility) but to recognize the reality of your son and accept that Jesus die as a sacrifice on your behalf. The idea is that through following god you can be less sinful but you will never be completely perfect as that was only accomplished by Jesus.
The only true "ideal" marriage in the Bible is Adam and Eve (seeing that the story has God playing a direct part in the pairing). And what were they? Two naked infants frolicking in the woods. It wasn't until they started overthinking everything and guilting themselves about pointless bullshit that everything went downhill.
Song of Solomon is supposed to be one but It's really mostly erotic poetry. I guess half of a good marriage is seen in proverbs 31. With the hardworking wife who is loves by her family. But yeah not a ton of stuff to go on.
