Re: Provorov won't support Gay Pride
The Orthodox stance on it is the end goal is procreation. It's in everyone of the Orthodox websites where someone asks "can I join if I'm Gay" and they answer "no because sex is meant for procreation". This might be the Church just not wanting them to join though and finding one line in the bible and leaning on that. Now you seem to be more into it than me, but I looked up on Tuesday night a bunch of websites and it all said the same thing. I'm def standing on less of a leg without the sources now though so I do recognize that. The one I could re-find was from "Orthodoxwiki.org", saying "The Old Testament viewed sexual relations to be "normal" as those between a man and a woman with the express purpose of procreation. This view, thinking, and teaching continued to the New Testament as well with St. Paul writing the most extensively on this subject". My understanding is the thought of a child being procreated in a marriage is that God has blessed the marriage, so if you can't "create" a child, your marriage can't be blessed. The idea that the 2 people create "one flesh".
Shellfish i guess I got mixed up with Orthodox Judaism.
I apologize for insulting your religion, that wasn't meant as the point of the post. The point is, if you hide behind religion for a view on one thing, you are opening up to be questioned on everything else. I don't expect someone to be sin-less (that's not the point of religion), but you open yourself up to it. If the only practicing part of your faith is anti-LGBTQ+, then I find you not to be religious, just hiding behind it because you're afraid to admit you're just a bigot.
And again, you seem to be way more familiar with religion, so some of the stuff above might sound like I'm explaining too much, that's me talking to myself. The next thing is, from any arguments I've witnessed in the past is, there's a bagillion lines across multiple religious texts that contradict each other. Either it be translations can be argued, New vs Old testament, and updated views of the Churches to better align with the current world than what the Bible says (which on it's own, I've felt is odd, but good the Church updates dated views).
