God, marriage, homosexuals, and divorce?
I know that God is not okay with homosexual acts, but what does He ask one to do if they have already married someone of the same sex, and realize once they get saved that it is wrong. Does he ask us to divorce that person? The Bible tells us that the only acceptable reason for divorce is unfaithfulness. But God hates both divorce AND same- sex marriage. So, what do I do with this?
Does anyone have Scripture to back this up? It would be great! Thanks.

I'm sure Christians will say that it was never a marriage in the eyes of God and therefore any divorce would only be a legal one.

"The Bible tells us that the only acceptable reason for divorce is unfaithfulness."
The old testament maybe. The new testament simply says no divorce :-)
Which sounds like someone changed the definition of marriage. Wait, that can't be right, can it?

You can divorce them in the eyes of the law, but God does not recognize a same-sex union as marriage in the first place. If there is no marriage in his eyes, then separating from them does not constitute a divorce. It constitutes a walking away from sin.

Wrong...the Bible says God is not okay with homosexual acts - that does not therefore mean that God in Himself has any objection whatsoever with to do with anything concerning homosexuality.
The idol-worshipping of the Bible and equating it with the voice of God is a disturbing notion in Western religions...your need for "scripture to back this up" tells me just how unquestioning your nature is, and the extent to which your authoritarian personality will give itself over to evil men with a loyalty not to Justice, but to ill-conceived bigotries...if a person like you lived in 1930s Germany, you would be standing in line for your brown shirt and armband, without any thought that you were being decieved...
Stop idol-worshipping the Bible! It was written by men who sought God - some of which found enlightenment, and some of which found a path with which to exploit the ignorant...it is time for you to free yourself.

It's easy. There is no such thing as homosexual marriage. It does not exist. They may call it marriage but it is not. So divorce, go straight, and marry someone of the opposite sex.

God doesn't view same sex marriage as valid so as far as He's considered, the couple isn't married at all so no real divorce.

**** what you think. It's not wrong so **** you and your beliefs. God loves everyone equally right? Well then he's not gonna put someone in hell because they're gay. Your such a bible humping prick.

That marriage was never acknowledged by God to begin with so it is ok to break false man made laws in the eyes of God.
