Why didn't God make homosexuals with the ability to reproduce?

Rick Brentlinger Answers-

That's an interesting question but it seems to assume several things that are not true.

First, your question assumes that God intended everyone to reproduce. We know that is not true because God commends celibacy in 1 Corinthians 7:8-9 and people who are celibate do not reproduce.

Second, your question assumes that the primary reason for marriage is to reproduce. We know that is not true from human experience.

Married couples provide each other many things besides children, including an outlet for sexual expression that does not always produce children, plus companionship and friendship plus emotional, spiritual and physical support.

The Genesis account of creation provides an historically accurate view of the beginning of humanity. But nowhere in the Genesis account does God tell us that our relationships must exactly replicate the Adam and Eve relationship by producing children.

Do you agree that the command to "be fruitful and multiply" as given to Adam and Eve when they are the only human beings on earth is quite a bit different for us today when there are about 7 billion human beings on earth?

I deal with other aspects of your question at this Link, which I hope you'll read. Thanks Shauna for the interesting question.

Can you please show in scripture where God accepts a loving committed gay relationship?
