Well, that's strange. In this thread I've been told that God and Jesus don't change and never have changed and never will change.

Matthew 5:17 - Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them."

He didn't change. He changes US. We are not under the law, but under grace because of Him.

Leelee I was never talking about your relationship with Christ. All I know is what you say and what you said "you're for same-sex marriages" and God is not so then what does that say? WHICH GOD ARE YOU SERVING? You can't serve "God and Mammon". It's impossible.


Oncefallen I really apologize to Juilianna for the way I said that and everyone on this thread but I'm not apologizing for what I said. I'd just like to say in my past there was a time I read my Bible , prayed knew scriptures and looked down on others who didn't. That was horrible and because God loved me he put huge stumbling stones in my way so when I felt that I was soaring in the clouds, I fell and it made me realize that I am closer to the ground that I think. I'm really glad for those experiences.

I'm really sorry for the way I spoke. But what I told Fidelis and Leelee is the truth. Fidelis even confirmed what I told him. I just really would like to atleast try to help them I was in no way trying to finger point and attack anyone. Fidelis is an intellectual guy who wants to accept God but he's his intellect, logic and reasoning is getting in the way. Leelee probably doesn't even know that she's not on God's side because she's not living by "EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDETH OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD". That's everything. God says homesxuality is wrong then we stay away from a homosexual lifestyle, we don't agree with it if someone asks then we say its wrong. Why? Cause God said so. And it doesn't matter if they call you narrow minded or a stupid lot after. That's standing for Jesus. And if you don't stand for Jesus who are you standing for? This is standard christian knowledge the worst atheist knows this.

There are very nice people who are homosexuals, I admire how caring,loving and nice they are, God loves them. But how do you expect him to help them if he doesn't tell them that what they're doing is wrong? And how do you think he tells them that what they're doing is wrong? He speaks to them and most of the time he speaks to them using us, His christians. It's the same with all us sinners. If you seee a sister in christ going the wrong way you say something about it. If you see somebody wanting Jesus you help him to Him. I judge myself by the Word of God brutally everyday, so yes I will admit I'm wrong in the way I spoke. Sorry for that.

I don't think so. I'm sure Jesus wouldn't be a part of something where two people will pledge to continue in a sinful lifestyle. And then congratulate them at the end.
I think he would not only congratulate them, but he would buy them a super expensive wedding gift too, like a 55 Plasma TV.

Fidelis and leelee, I am so sorry that you have been treated so disrepectfully here. This thread is about why christianity opposes "gay marriage", not "please judge my walk with Jesus". If we share the truth of God's Word with others regarding a thing, the Holy Spirit is fully capable of doing His own job. I hope that you will not permit the personal attacks to cause you not to continue to seek what the Lord would have you learn regarding the matter. Please continue to seek more of Him. God bless you.

Yes he would attend & he would minister his truth and his love to them as He did in sitting with the "sinners" and the tax collectors. And His great will would be done in their life because He so loved them and spoke to them words of truth and did not shun them because of their sin. Thank you Lord for not shunning me because of my great sin. Its actually kinda cool to think about the wedding with Jesus present & try to fathom what he'd say & do to rectify that situation. After all He is the Lord! Would we limit Christ in this?

No worries Jullianna, I am not a "new" Christian and am pretty secure in my own walk with God, I know who I serve and the God I serve says not to judge others, so I try not to.

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Matthew 7: 1-5

There is no reason for you to apologise, even when we have disagreed you have always been very polite and respectful.

The only thing I would say is that personal attack might scare off others and that's not what God wants us to do and also would remind people to hate the sin but love the sinner, I don't mean here but in general have seen a lot of hate based homophobia, well sinning or not they still belong to God.

So overall my suggestion would be, don't try and tell me or anyone who I am serving. You know nothing about me and look at the log in your own eye pal!

There is no scripture in the bible against heterosexuals marrying CHRISTIAN AND NON-CHRISTIANS. [/COLOR]


Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, “I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you,2 Corinthians 6:14-17

“Do two walk together, unless they have agreed to meet? Amos 3:3

Do not be deceived: “Bad company ruins good morals.”1 Corinthians 15:33

Let them. If they want to do someting with their lives, who is anyone else to stop them? if no harm is being done to anyone else, then who has the right to tell them how to live? God doesn't care if it's adam and eve, or adam and steve, he really doesn't. The archbishop is backwards. In my opinion, anyone who follows the bible to the letter are backwards, and also reading it wrong.

Ok, lets review. God created Adam and Eve. Not Adam and Steve, or Allison and Eve. Pretty simple. I don't recall Him asking for our opinion in the matter.

Kewl, "Abomination to God" is pretty clear and hard to misinterpret.

God created Adam and Eve completely nude. Should clothes therefor be forbidden?

That was before sin was introduced into the world through disobedience. Changed our environment to a sinful fallen one with the knowledge, awareness of sin and shame.

Okay since -to me - amazingly people still think same sex marriage is okay let's have a look at scripture...

Scripture on Homosexuality
"Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God."-- 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

"If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." --Leviticus 20:13

"Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.--Romans 1:26-27

Q: As you can see God clearly sees this as a sin, so please tell me why God would possibly bless a sinful relationship?
A: He has no reason, yes that's right... he doesn't bless Gay marriage and he doesn't want gay marriage.

God created Adam and Eve completely nude. Should clothes therefor be forbidden?
No because at that point sin hadn't entered the world.

God doesn't care if it's adam and eve, or adam and Steve
God doesn't approve of Homosexuality, therefore he DOES care.

In my opinion
Shall I go for your opinion... or God's word? Choices choices...

anyone who follows the bible to the letter are backwards, and also reading it wrong.
Yeah that's right lets make things up, I mean the bible is just a rough guide for how to do things. What does it matter?

''Be watchful and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and with your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the Lord your God.''--Deuteronomy 12: 28

God did not waste time repeatedly referring to the abomination of Homosexuality so people could start saying he approves of Homosexual marriage.

Hi all,

This is a really hot topic here in the UK at the moment. The current Prime Minister (and church-going Christian) David Cameron is proposing changing the law to allow same-sex marriage.

For those that don't know, the current UK law is that same-sex couples can only enter into 'civil partnerships', rather than full marriage.

In response, many important clergymen across the UK (inlcuding the Archbishop of York) have argued against the proposed change in the law, saying that same-sex couples should NOT be allowed to marry.

My own personal view is that same-sex couples SHOULD be allowed the same rights as heterosexual couples, and be allowed to marry.

I think that, even though Christians (generally) believe that homosexuality is a sin, that does not mean we should be forcing everybody else to abide by our own rules.

For example, we all agree that worshipping other gods is a sin, and yet no-one bats an eyelid when Muslims get married, or Jews, or Sikhs, or atheists.

So if these other, non-Christian 'sinners' are allowed to marry, then why not same-sex couples?

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating that the church be forced into allowing same-sex marriages occur in church property - I still think the church should be allowed to pick and choose who gets married within Christian churches.

But if same-sex couples want to get married in a registry office or some other building, then legally I don't see why they shouldn't be allowed to do so.

Are the church out of date? Should the church have the right to interfere in matters of state?

Or are they the last bastion of morality in an increasingly immoral society?

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Show them where in the Bible God states that homosexuallity is not okay in the eyes of God ist actually an abomination unto the Lord"

Leviticus 18:22:
"You shall not lie with a male as those who lie with a female; it is an abomination."

Leviticus 20:13:
[SIZE=+1]"If a man lies with a male as those who lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination and they shall surely be put to death."[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]The word abomination in Leviticus was used for anything that was considered to be religiously unclean or associated with idol worship.
[/SIZE]

[SIZE=+1][FONT=Times New Roman,Times,Times NewRoman]Romans 1:26-27:
[SIZE=+1][/SIZE][SIZE=+1]"For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions: for their women exchanged the natural use for that which is against nature. And in the same way also the men abandoned the natural use of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty for their error."[/SIZE][SIZE=+1][/SIZE][/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=+1][/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1]and if they dont believe or agree with you, let it go dont continue in trying to convince them because they wont wanna hear it. once youve planted the seed let go and let God take over.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+1][/SIZE]
and you can use this verse, where he is saying that both man and woman are to create more. together not manxman or womanxwoman because the same sex cannot reproduce.
Genesis 1:28

King James Version (KJV)

28And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

gay marriage is so unnatural. it is like fish out of water. two men or two women cannot have a baby that should be enough proof.
