[Linux4christians] OOT: My stand on Gay/Lesbian

[pastordavid at bibleseven.com]

I don't know where Gills is coming up with "wives", it is *not* in
the Biblical text. It seems to be his personal addition. Imposing
such an extraordinary meaning upon the text is dangerous.

Also, it is known that wives and others traveled with the disciples
and apostles during and after the time of Jesus, so it is not at all
reasonable to presume the abandonment by Peter of his wife for
the sake of ministry.

It seems, indeed, that to make such a declaration creates a serious
conflict within the teaching of the Bible as to the unity of a man
and a woman in marriage.

God has declared the sanctity of the marriage unity - this proposition
requires that God contradict Himself. I think not.

"Matthew 19:27 Then Peter said to him, “Look, we have left everything to 
follow
you! What then will there be for us?” 19:28 Jesus said to them, “I tell 
you the truth:
In the age when all things are renewed, when the Son of Man sits on his
glorious throne, you who have followed me will also sit on twelve thrones,
judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 19:29 And whoever has left houses or
brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my 
sake will
receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life. 19:30 But 
many
who are first will be last, and the last first." NET Bible
