A Succinct Biblical Answer Concerning Homosexuality

 The fact that the Bible simply records the original Creation of one man for one woman, does not negate the possibility of God allowing the creation progressively of additional  relationships.
We know from physical history that part of that progeny, inevitably has been allowably created in many differing relationships than just the first basic model.

Same gender human relationships of love and commitment do not in any way detract from the simple order of one man and one woman procreating fruitfully, but rather show the amazing diversity and possibilities within God’s actual creation.

Nothing is recorded  of Jesus’ words speaking against same gender relationships. 
Yes, He did speak of the one man for one woman order of procreation and commitment,  but this was simply a reiteration of the original creation by God and not a specific denouncement of the fact that other combinations of relationships existed within the allowable creation of God.

Understanding the miraculous  progressive allowable diversity of God’s creation and appreciating what the written scriptures actually say and do not say, clearly show that it is not God’s written word, the Bible, that condemns same gender relationships.
Any hatred or opposition shown to same gender attacted peoples is rooted in something different than the plain  recorded words of the Bible and has more to do with traditional interpretations and cultural influences than anything else.
