they i don't make a big deal out of what the bible or any other so-called holding
teaching says that the bell homosexuality and gay marriages cetera
some people do right i mean a lot of people have hang their hats of
homophobia
the christian doctrine the christian bible the definition of christian
marriage all that stuff with you know those people
ras the really belong to well
it turns out that
if you want to go down that path it may not really be a good idea because there
was a time when same sex marriage was actually a christian right there is a
kiev art museum which contains a strange icon from saint catherine's monastery on
mount sinai israel and it shows to rogue christians saints
and between them there's a traditional roman prada bus a best demand
overseeing what appears to be a wedding we have that in the jump on the screen
lewis's are you seeing it i see it
you see edit here at the hyatt uh... issue has been resolved
and you are able to check this out
yes sir
you have any reason to think that this is anything other
then two men
getting marry
uh...
this picture could be a lot of things happen here
uh... as it so the question is of what what is going on here is this actually
gay marriage going on that is that is endorsed by christian doctrine
the icon seems to suggest according to some that christ himself is actually
sanctified in this day marriage in a lot of people will be shocked by this idea
particularly people that say they they have personally no problem with gay
marriage or anything else
what the bible says louis you know you know that excuse i do
the full answer
comes from other early christian sources about the two men that are featured here
sings sergey s and saint bacchus these are two
roman soldiers who were known christian martyrs
now uh... severs the patriarch of and tiaa-cref blamed that we should not
separate in speech
may surges and doctors who were joined in life
two men
joined in life and what appears to be awaiting
that doesn't make sense that doesn't sound christian like doesn't
well you know there are a lot of scholars who believe the picture
interpretation of the bible
does not have any reference to homosexuality being the same and that's
a
what is currently the new testament and in most hotel rooms in churches in the
united states is a false
uh... interpretation let's put that aside for saying let's assume we buy
into the new testament the new testament greek describes
bacchus and sergey s as aris died or lovers in other words they were male
homosexual couple
their orientation and relationship was not only acknowledge it was accepted
and celebrated by the early christian church which was obviously far more
tolerant than today's
professor john boswell delete chairman of the yale university's history
department discovered the in addition to heterosexual marriage ceremonies
indication christian church liturgical documents
there were also ceremonies called the office of same sex union in the tenth
and eleventh century
and the order for uniting two men in the eleventh and twelfth century
uh... the church right has had all the symbols of a these church rights had the
exact same symbols
of heterosexual marriage the whole community got together in the church
they had a blessing of a couple before the altar it was conducted with the
right hands joined holy bows were exchanged and a priest
officiated at
gay marriage for gay christian marriage a list
you wouldn't know it today from talking to people like
tony perkins and uh... former navy chaplain gordon clinton schmidt was
performed by the actresses angie wouldn't do that right
let's be honest that the uh... the bible's not along this land anyway
no no but i'm kind of body of a if you give mrs your law
some for some people it is elia eat you can just hand pick
so this proves that for the last two millennia and parish churches in
cathedrals
all over christian them from ireland debased and bowling even in rome itself
homosexual relationships were accepted
and they were valid and so was gay marriage
i don't expect that the christians to come out in favor of the same time
sooner
the borough to send their reasoning
