In Bible, there is ‘no gray area’

Re “God alone has the power to bind couples,” July 9-11 edition:
The writer asked “any Christian to cite from New Testament Scripture any condemnation made by Jesus about same-sex anything.”
Read Matthew 19:1-8. Jesus responded to the Pharisees’ question by condemning all and any sexual relationships outside of the male/female establishment, by specifically citing Genesis 1:27. “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female, created he them.” (KJV)
Yes, God understands loneliness, for which cause God said that it is not good for man to be alone — I (God) will make a help meet for him (Adam). The definition for the phrase “help meet,” ezer kenegodo, (Hebrew), is opposite as to him.
The New Testament teaches on man having sexual relationships and a woman having sexual relationships outside of God’s mandate is an abomination. There is no gray area.
