What is your view on accepting same-sex marriage in the christian church?

It does not exist. The Bible specifically defines marriage as being between a man and a woman. Anything other than this is not a marriage.
AnswerWell, that's a question for each Christian sect to answer. If you are looking for a pro-same-sex marriage position, talk to a minister from the Church of Christ, Evangelical Lutheran Church, Episcopalian, or even Quaker denomination. For a position on why same-sex marriage should not be countenanced, talk to a Roman Catholic priest or a minister from either the Southern Baptist Church or a Missouri Synod Lutheran Church. I would suggest you talk to the two Lutheran denominations, since they share many other beliefs, but the contrast in view on homosexuality is instructive.Wiki User
