Homosexuality and Seventh-day Adventism : ウィキペディア英語版 | Homosexuality and Seventh-day Adventism
In Seventh-day Adventism, homosexual behavior is considered a violation of God's commandments, and as such is subject to church discipline. The Church is opposed to same-gender sexual practices and relationships on the grounds that "sexual intimacy belongs only within the marital relationship of a man and a woman." It believes the Bible consistently affirms the pattern of heterosexual monogamy, and all sexual relations outside the scope of spousal intimacy are contrary to God's original plan. ==History== When a gay marriage bill came before the California legislature in April 2004, Adventist church members were urged to contact their representatives and voice their opposition. In "The Liberty Blog" the religious liberty director for the North American Division of the Adventist church argued against the proposed federal "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007," suggesting it could have an indirect impact on free speech, would give special protection to some crime victims while failing to cover others, would be unnecessary since local laws already provide protection against hate crimes, and could lead to marginalizing those who oppose homosexual practice.〔http://www.religiousliberty.info/blog/index.php?paged=3, June 28, 2007〕 In the September/October, 2004, issue of church periodical, ''Liberty'', which was devoted to the issue of gay marriage, another religious liberty director called for the church not to remain silent in opposing gay rights.〔Barry Bussey, "Why Silence is Not an Option," ''Liberty'', September–October, 2004〕
