Last I checked I'm not homosexual nor is my spouse a man.

Back to the word of God that is applicable though, Leviticus tells us to execute homosexuals... not to marry them.
Do you keep the whole law?

James 2:10 KJVS
[10] For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point , he is guilty of all.



Galatians 3:10 KJVS
[10] For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! They absolutely cannot be pro-gay marriage!

There are so many people here who accept sin and defend sinners of their whoredoms. Is this not ChristianChat?!

The bible tells us we should execute them! Not marry them!!!!
This guy has to be a troll. No way can a follower of Jesus be this angry with anyone. You weren't 'befriended' by a Catholic priest growing up by any chance were you?

You so cannot be a Christian. Christians are against gay ''marriage'' but they are not hateful against homosexuals like the Westboro cult and others are. Jesus when he talked with the woman who was caught in adultery did not condemn her and instead told her to, "Go, and sin no more. The execution of homosexuals was done and was specific to Israel, but who knows if they really followed that or not. We are under the New Covenant and not the Old Covenant. You have anger management issues and need Jesus. God bless. Have a beautiful day! :)

The subject of gay marriage is yet another example of truth being determined by democratic means.

Frankly, I'm of the opinion that there's little point telling secular society that they cannot legalise gay marriage. There's really no significant difference, in my mind, to decriminalising homosexual sex and allowing gay marriage, so I'm not quite sure why we're making this the hill to die upon. There's a difference between registering one's disagreement, and just being obstructionist.

Far better, it seems to me, to let secular society do what they like with secular marriage, and let the church decide who it wants to religiously marry. We already have differences between the secular and religious worlds in terms of what sex is, what parenting is, what love is, what faith is, etc - yet we seem to be most prepared to die on our swords on what marriage is. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Far be it from to condone same sex marriage for those who condone it are worse of than those who commit it. One must understand that cities and Nations have been destroyed for allowing to happen in the open. In fact in the OT the were to be put to death.

Now does God love the homo? Yes He doe's He died that they may saved as well as me. However it is sin. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? God forbid.

Which one of you who caught their child smoking pot or cigarettes would not discipline them? You don't hate your child but the child is doing. Why? because it brings harm to them. God loves the Homo, but wants them to repent so that their sin will not harm them. Why? because no homo will enter into the kingdom of God nor will a drunkard nor an adulterer. Sin cannot enter His presence.

I will ask you one thing. What law has congress passed to allow same sex marriage? I will ask one more what law has congress passed to allow abortion.

It is Judicial tyranny. Laws made by Judges that are not elected by the people. But rather shoved down our throats.

Congress makes law and the Supreme court interprets the law, they do not and cannot make law, But, we as a people have allowed them to make law we are ruled in this nation by 9 people. Which is unconstitutional.

No guy wakes up and says, "Hey, I think I'd like to foricate with another dude today!"
Boy thats not true. I met pleanty of guys who said they were straight but wanted to try it.
Its easy to say no one does that, and to challenge people who want nothing to do with it as your proof, but there are still those who, allowing themselves to believe its natural, not a big deal, want to try it themselves. I met women who wanted the same thing, too.

( know this post was old, just wanted to point out that this is not true at all)

Revelation 22:11
He that is unjust, let him be unjust still. And he which is filthy, let him be filthy still. And he that is righteous, still practice righteousness, and he that is holy, still keep himself holy.

Its because of this that I dont push for making gay marriage illegal again, or support disciplinary actions against homosexual people.
But, I do believe in spreading the Gospel, and I do spread the word of grace through Christ, and that we must repent to Him and give our lives to Him. And I use my testimony to help those who want to seek Him know that you can find fulfillment in Him, that even though at first, leaving the lbgt life can be hard and leaving you with feelings of sorrow, that with time and faith He can change your heart to the point you dont want to go back. And I have met other former gay and transgender Christians who have had the same experience.
And I definitely argue against those who try to encourage the behavior with the teaching that it cant be helped, as we chose what we do and how we live, and that with faith we can leave behind feelings of sadness, and with a change of heart we can place our hope in Him over the fulfillment of desires and fantasies.

Rom 1:22
Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Rom 1:23
and changed the glory of the incorruptible God for the likeness of an image of corruptible man, and of birds, and four–footed beasts, and creeping things.
Rom 1:24
Wherefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts unto uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonoured among themselves:
Rom 1:25
for that they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
Rom 1:26
For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:
Rom 1:27
and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.


first idolatry, and then gay sex as an extension of it, this is God's verdict on gay marriage, and they receive in themselves that recompense of their error which is due. WE do not judge them, God does!

Actually....... It does.....
no...it doesnt. I can show them love and treat with dignity as fellow human beings but God gave us all free will. We are not Biblically instructed to force our beliefs on anyone

Gay sex follows on from idolatry. Paul says it is a form of worship. If we cannot support idolatry we cannot support gay sex, That is Paul's verdict, but he leaves punishment in the hands of God,

The issue in this country is that people don't know the difference between a democracy and a republic. America is a republic,or it use to be.
