What does the Bible say about Gay Marriage?

I was reading a recent article that was published by Newsweek and the author was stating that there is biblical proof to support gay marriage. As I read through author Lisa Miller's arguments on this topic I came to see how the world and the devil likes to twist scripture to fit their way of thinking.

One example that the author cites is the fact that King David and Jonathon had a "love that surpasses that of a woman". Many gay individuals try to use this as an example that the Bible has no problem with men being with men or women having sexual relations with other women. Obviously, I do not believe this to be the case, but believe that God used this example to show just how devoted one can be to another person when the Lord is the center of a relationship.

What I found most interesting was the fact that Lisa Miller tried to say that scripture from the Old Testament of the Bible does not apply on this topic anymore. Now how can one go about saying that the Bible says one thing and believe that it is correct, than turn around and say what the Bible says in opposition to a behavior is not applicable anymore? This shows me that the author realizes that there is something not right about the lifestyle and instead of admitting to it, they chose to pick what they like and discard the rest.

The Bible can't be treated that way. The world of God declares in the book of Hebrews that," God is the same yesterday, today, and forever". If God says that a behavior is wrong before the foundation of the world, it is still wrong today. Because God is truth. He can't change His standards. For if He does, He can't be God anymore. The Old testament book of Leviticus and the New Testament book of Romans both speak out against the lifestyle of gays and how God doesn't approve of that particular behavior.

Does this mean that God hates them? No, God and those who are true Bible believers don't wish to see harm come to those who are bound in the gay lifestyle. In fact, we want to see them come out of it and into the light of truth that the Lord has provided for them and for all of mankind. My prayer is that those who are in the gay lifestyle will be set free and come to the knowledge of God's truth, which is based in His love for them. The truth is those who believe they are stuck in the gay lifestyle don't have to remain in that bondage. You can be free. Come to God. He can and will be your hope and deliverer. There is life in HIM. In the ways of the gay lifestyle there is only pain, destruction and death. Choose LIFE.
