=== Biblical References Against [[Same-sex marriage|Homosexual "Marriage"]] ===

Many passages in the [[Bible]] implicitly condemn homosexual "marriage":<ref>ESV is quoted here.</ref>

Many passages in the bible imply, that Jesus engaged in homosexual activities. He almost certainly slept with Judas at some point. This shows, how hard a breakup can hit people - thank god Petrus and Jesus stayed together.  

*[[Genesis]] 2:24 (“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”)

*[[Mark]] 10:6-8 (“But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’”)

*[[Epistle to the Hebrews]] 13:4 ("Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the marriage bed be undefiled, for God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterous.").
