1. The primary purpose of marriage is for the husband and wife to help effect the salvation of the other.
A. This is impossible in a homosexual marriage because it is based on a sinful relationship.
B. It is impossible for sin to be the foundation of salvation, not to mention a good marriage.
2. God created the family to be a loving father and mother with children, and we should always seek to get as close to that ideal as possible:
A. Children need a father and a mother, at least in part) so they can have their sex modeled to them, and learn how to relate to the opposite sex.
B. Boys need a father in order to learn how to be a man and how to treat women. Girls need a mother in order to learn how to be a woman and how to deal with men.
3. There are heterosexual couples that cannot have kids and/or get divorced. This is a breakdown of the created order and not the way it is supposed to be:
A. If someone, for whatever reason, ends up in a broken relationship and is a single parent, they then need to bring the opposite sex to their children so they can have that sex modeled for them.
4. There are also married couples that choose not to have kids:
A. Most do so for selfish reasons, which is also a breakdown of the created order.
B. Some have valid reasons, but these reasons are still due to the fall, and so can be considered a breakdown of the created order.
C. If any of the above circumstances were to change, they could then have children.
5. Homosexuality is not merely a breakdown of the created order. It is a rejection of it. It is a denial of life and love, and can only be fixed if they repent of their homosexuality:
A. It is a denial of life because they are choosing to have sex in a way that makes it impossible to create life.
B. It is a denial of love because homosexual sex goes against God’s intention for the sexual act, and so is not to the other’s highest good, and therefore is not love.
6. Homosexuals claim that putting children in a loving homosexual home is better than putting them into a foster home with bad parents:
A. Homosexuality is a sexual perversion. It is never right to place children in a sexually perverted household.
B. The foster care system may be broken to one degree or another, but the answer is not to radically alter the family in a way that is a denial of life and love and everything a family should be, not to mention putting children in a sexually perverse household.
C. The answer would be to either put them with a good foster family, fix the foster care system, or to come up with a better system. In any case, due to the factors listed above, the family must remain heterosexual.
