This is a great article. The whole crux of the argument and article rests simply and solely on this proceeding statement:
"It is simply undeniable that Jesus assumed heterosexual marriage as God's design and plan," he said. "Jesus sees all sexual activity outside this covenant as sinful."
Akin made the argument that Jesus clearly talked about sex and marriage as found in Scripture.
Jesus' words on marriage are found in Matthew 19, where he states, "Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, 'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh?' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
