I never said ban anything?



My argument wasnt that we should infringe on anyones rights, it was entirely about you and how you work to shame Christian people for saying homosexuality is wrong.
My very first post on here was merely me talking about how I hope that Christian people can find protection from the law when it comes to having to engage in events they believe are wrong, such as the cake issue.

You never focus on the points I made, but keep on bringing up the constitution to justify your shaming of Christian people as well as your refusal to say that something that is called sin in both the OT and NT is wrong.

I think that the people who engage with you on this forum need to be aware of your stance.
=============================================

Yeraza,

many of us, as well as yourself, are more than aware of his insistence-stance, much more that he
himself is, at this time of his life - he is very transparent, except to himself...
much 'prayer and compassion needed here'...

Irrelevant.
For the 55 billionth time we are not a theocracy.
Not everyone is going to follow the Bible and you can't make them. It's called free will. Again if I wanted to live in a theocracy I would move to Saudi Arabia
Ummmm...have you really said it 55 billion times? ;)

I thought we already covered this. You can say it's wrong. That's your constitutional right.
But your rights end when you try to infringe on someone else's constitutional rights
When a bunch of perverts or the government say I must accept these perverts rights and not call it what it is, that is infringing on my rights.
What they do behind close doors is between them and God, BUT when they act out their perversion in my presence on in front of my wife, That is infringing on my rights.
No one hast the right to live out their perverted life style in public no more that they have a right to be naked in public.

"I have THE RIGHT to not be offended! When I'm offended that gives me special entitlements!"

The constitution says a even man wearing studded leather can walk in front of you with another man in a leash and ball gag and you have no power to tell them what to do. Yes you can say you're offended and declare that you think they are sick, but nobody actually cares if you're offended anyway.

This attitude is why we are where we are today.

Nothing to do with political correctness. It's a civil rights issue.
All tax-paying citizens should be entitled to any privileges the courthouse has to offer
They already have the same rights.
Any man has the right to marry any
woman, obviously excepting close relatives.
What they want are "special" rights.
And when you look past the red herring of
"same-sex marriage", which is a contradiction
in terms, what comes into focus is a world
wide attack on the churches themselves.
These God-hating perverts will not rest until our right as
Christians to condemn their sick lifestyle is eliminated.

You mean post Jim Crow type laws? Yes, yes my attitude is part of the reason we are where we are.
Theres a world of difference between a person being persecuted against for the color of his skin, and a person who has to deal with the fact that not everyone agrees with how he chooses to live his life.
Especially when it comes to a mouth gag?

Those who support homosexual relations like to make a big fuss about not using pedophilia as a comparison with homosexuality, but they love to use issues of race, an issue even more unrelated than another form of sexual attraction.

Dont know why they believe this makes any sense.

Blue means boy, pink means girl.

Our leaders or at least the one's pulling their strings are actively trying to weaken/destabilize the population. they do this by promoting lucifarian agendas, spreading lies, and causing confusion, fear, and hate. You can't convince the deceived that these people have bad intentions or are knowingly conspiring to support evil (because on CNN everyone is smiling and wearing a tie), so I've been arguing the more provable point that the agendas are opposed to God.

They are stupid, but they aren't "that" stupid. They know what they are doing, and some are just deceived I suppose like the Christians or unbelievers arguing here.

At the risk of beating a dead horse, the Constitution must be upheld at all costs. If lawmakers can skirt the constitution in favor of Christianity then what's to stop someone else from doing the exact opposite and passing laws against Christianity? You don't want to set that precedent

You seem to believe that you not liking someone's sexual behavior is an acceptable reason to deny them civil rights. Hence why I said "Jim Crow like".

I agree. You can't use your religion to deny someone their civil rights. That's actually is reminiscent of Jim Crow.

True Christians can use God's Laws and Moral standards to deny
anything 'carnal', and those that agree with them,..

most aren't concerned what others think about them for
their Honor and Obediance...

Okay so just so we're clear marriage is strictly a Biblical concept so I guess that means Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Atheists, agnostics, Mormons and deists can't get married....well dang

I think everyone is missing the picture.....the Constitution is a MAN-MADE thing, yes it protects humans rights in the HERE AND NOW, but when it contradicts the WORD OF GOD, I'm gonna stand on the Word of God, no questions, hands down. My Lord has already won the victory for me and for you, and when the Holy Spirit moves me against something, I have to stand on it and not quench Him. You wanna know why there are so many different religions and cultures and backgrounds and races? Read Genesis 11: 1-9......that's why today we have different cultures and beliefs and races. But before that, we were ALL one race, with one language, and guess what, marriage was still instituted by God between a MAN and a WOMAN, not a MAN and another MAN. I don't condemn others for believing or following a different doctrine than the doctrine we know in Christ Jesus, but whenever someone infringes upon me with something that is sinful or condones sin and tries to get me to stumble in front of my Lord, that I WILL take a stand against.

You're not being infringed on
