Yes or No to Gay marriage

[Enow]

In Australia we have all been posted a letter to vote yes or no to gay marriage.
It is causing a bit of friction but, but my question is, should a Bible believing Christian vote yes to Gay marriage or No.

We all know that God love everyone the same, but some churches are all for it and others are against.

No, because God is not performing that marriage as it would not be called a marriage in His words.

Matthew 19:[SUP]4 [/SUP]And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, [SUP]5 [/SUP]And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? [SUP]6 [/SUP]Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

I believe the homosexual agenda is more motivated for the financial benefits and visiting rights in hospitals and other benefits of regular married couples than they are actually motivated about being married in God's words.

So it is more political than scriptural, and one step away from homosexuals imposing their will as well as their immorality on the majority as they were doing at Lot's house in Sodom when the two visiting angels were at his house.

You have been a believer for over 10 years, and YOU do not know the ANSWER to the question?



This resembles a "fishing expedition" in my opinion........

a simple, quick, no.

No in church. If they want to have a non-christian seremony in a public office, I think it is their right. It is better for society that gay marriages are in proper conditions. And if they choose to live in sin and not follow Christ, it is their business. We can only pray for them. To try to hit them with bible verses will only push them even further away. I am abosolutely against practicing gay pastors or ministers. I am against that the church should conform to their wish to get a romatic church wedding. And I am definetly against that the church, as it has been discussed in England and here, should be able to get a blessing and ritual when they change gender.

How is society better with gay marriage?
How is it godly attitude to stand by and do nothing to allow sin to spread unimpeded? I'm not for forcing people to live Christian lives morally, but neither am i for giving society a free pass on any sin they desire to justify.

 

[MattforJesus]

Uh,I don't know,I am kind of undecided on this one,for God does not like homosexuality,and goes against His moral law,but on the other hand people should be able to live how they want without interference from other people.

God has the ability to deny access to heaven by disobeying,but then again people should be able to live how they want without interference from other people.

God will not manifest His peace,love,and joy,to a person that is homosexual,but then again people should be able to live how they want without interference from people.

Oh,I am so undecided,for I can do what is right,and dwell with God in peace,love,and joy,and eternal bliss,and never have a single problem again,or I can do what I want,and miss out on the eternal life thing,but then I get to live how I want,and nobody tells me what to do,and I am my own boss,and can enjoy arrogance,and self exaltation,and like thinking I am better than other people,and be like Frank Sinatra,I did it my way.

Oh,what to do,what to do,for I do not know what decision to take.

Not.

Gay marriage should never be performed,and all the gays should stop their activity,and if they have something against the opposite sex,then they get to be with nobody.

Marriage of two was designed by God to represent the unseen union he has with his bride the church. She is made up of both man and women. As husband are to wash their wives with the water of the word . Christ washes us as a sign to the world of His creation.

He created mankind alone after their image, after their likeness represented by two the father and I are one Spirit. The spirit binds the two as if they were one . A cord of three is not easily broken.

He did not make the rest of the creation after their own image or likeness . He made them a male separately, and female separately . Today even animals are performing marriage unions . Voting yes makes the image and likeness of God disappear.

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him ( mankind) ; male and female created he them.(the animal kind)

Makes me wonder that when he does come will he find faith that comes from hearing God through the word of God or will it be as in the time of Noah. Human faith coming the imaginations of their own hearts.

Gen 6:5 And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.

This is exactly the kind of opportunities for Christians to make a stand for God- no gay marriage, no abortion, no to evil.

 

[MattforJesus]

1Ti 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
1Ti 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
1Ti 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
1Ti 4:4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:
1Ti 4:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.

New Age movement.Forbid a man and a woman to marry for population reduction,and command to abstain from meats for they are nature worshippers.

2Ti 4:2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
2Ti 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
2Ti 4:4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

The new age movement is the future for this sinful world,and the man of sin will display the characteristics of the movement,spiritual evolution,being more than their current state by the power of nature,so they will get the ball rolling ahead of time before the 7 years period starts that God gives the world their way to cause all people who do not love Him to follow the beast kingdom.

God has always found homosexuality a total abomination.

Choose wisely.

 

[FlSnookman7]

It is a shame we don't get to vote on abortion which is actually the murder of hundreds of thousands of defenseless babies every year and that in anyone's eyes is a much bigger abomination than any other single thing I can think of. That said if the op is asking about biblical marriage then there is no such thing as a "gay" marriage as marriage is very clearly defined in the Word.
Secular marriage is a whole other topic and it seems this world is going away from morality and putting more onus on what it thinks are personal freedoms. The sad thing is that many of these so called personal freedoms only lead to bondage and misery.
I could not vote in favor of gay marriage so my answer would be a no.

I would vote yes for the same reason I wouldn't outlaw divorce. I don't want to live in a theocracy, and I don't any Christian would. If we make laws based on religion, who's to say one denomination isn't going to make laws that oppress the freedom of your own? Whether or not I believe in gay marriage personally isn't enough to decide whether it should be outlawed. Lawful marriage isn't the same as biblical marriage. And since laws are supposed to be based on secular reasoning, I would vote yes because I don't think gay marriage is harmful in a secular sense, even if it is clearly stated as sinful in the Bible. I don't think homosexuality is any greater a sin than any other and we don't outlaw every sin because we have to base our laws on a rational consideration of actions and their consequences. I think if I'm living in a country with members of many religions and with members of no religion, I have to consider the fact that gay marriage doesn't have any more harmful consequences than heterosexual marriage.

NO---- God in the OT and Jesus in the NT tells us that it is an abomination....Simple as that.

It does not matter what the "churches" are for or against. The question is, what does the word of God have to say about this matter? Truth is determined by the mind of God, not the Church, and scripture is a representation of the mind of God.

You won't like Gods rule in the Kingdom. It will be a theocracy. You will not like the millennial reign because that will also be a theocracy. Lucifer did not like the theocracy in heaven and we see what happened to him.

You do whats right and vote no.
What does the bible say about Marrage? How did God created marrage?
Anything contrary is an abomination unto him. Yes they have the right to live in sin,
it does not mean we should support and condone it. God gave them free will just like he gave us free will,
we cant force them to change, and they cant force us to give up our beliefs.

Just love them, and pray for them like Jesus would. pray for your nation to do whats right and vote no.
Any nation contrary to Gods authority will face his judgement.

Satan will not like where he is at during this 1000 years of theocracy.

 

[jaybird88]

i would support their right to be married and support the right for any preacher to refuse to marry them. i would never support anything that suppresses freedom even if it supports freedom for those i dont like.

 

[Alertandawake]

Yes Australia is very bad at the moment with those whole same sex promotion and acceptance. It is getting out of control in my opinion. Thing is this postal vote that people are getting in the mail, it is not even a real vote, it is a survey. It literally is throwing money away (my understanding is the whole survey is costing about $122 million dollars).

So this survey at the end of the day is not even legally binding as far as I know.

What is getting crazy is that if you have people are saying it is okay to vote for "no", before you know it, this lgbt totalitarian representatives get all upset about it. It is as if that people are not even allowed to voice their opinion, that it is now reaching the point that where from my point of view, if people don't vote "yes" they are name called either as a homophone or bigot.

Problem is, in my opinion, this survey is a big waste of money.

First, let us define marriage, a close and intimate relationship between a man and a woman.

Now in Australia, same sex relationships are already recognize to some degree, as defacto relationships. And with same sex couples and adoption, as far as I am aware, with the exception of Northern Territory, the other states in Australia allow the adoption.

At the end of the day, those in charge leading Australia, have to make a choice.

And this whole concept of love is love you see that is paraded in these events, nothing could be further from the truth (and some of the video clips I have seen on youtube, get violent and out of control).

In the case of these LGBT activists, there is this mentality and attitude that love thy neighbour means to celebrate and promote a lifestyle that is considered an abomination (it is stated in the bible).

Let us be blunt, and be realistic, man+man or woman+woman close relationships/unions goes against biology, because such close relationships cannot lead to a couple being able to have children. They can do all sorts of promotion campaigns, this and that, but at the end of the day, in order for a child to be created, the child needs two biological parents, both a male and a female.

This whole concept same sex marriage acceptance, we are seeing families being destroyed in the process.

Well, what I meant was I wasn't for sure what you were saying, and I still don't know. I am too dense, I guess.

But God never instituted a marriage to be one man a 2+ wives. Yes, He allowed many to do this, but He never instituted it to be that way.

Oh ok I get ya,well paul spoke of if a man has two wives the one loved and the other hated,so I was thinking that meant it is ok for a man to have two wives,please tell me if this is true or not,because for me it seems true.

I don't think Paul ever said that.
