I have a very close family member who is gay and I love her dearly! She is always there for me and I am always there for her. Years ago we had the discussion about her homosexuality and how I believe we all have to make our own choices and I choose to follow Jesus so even though I do not agree with that lifestyle, she will always be family, she will always be dear to me and it does not change how I feel about her at all. She is unsaved obviously so I pray for her and the woman she is with, but I never bring up their sin because they already know it. But if she were to tell me she was getting married and wanted me to be a part of it, this would be one time I would have to refuse. And I have thought about this for years. It isnt because I dont want to be seen there supporting them, or that I might be a bad witness. It is because I feel that when God says something is an abomination to Him, I can't in any way take sides against Him. And I would feel that is what I am doing. Yes, Jesus spent His time with sinners. But He did not pat them on the back supporting them while they were sinning, nor partake in any way. He went to them the way He came to us, seeking to save! Me going to a homosexual wedding is not going to lead anyone to Christ. So, that cant be an excuse for me. I love her very much, and if she were to marry a woman I would still love her very much. But no, I would never support what Gods Word,and Holy Spirit tells me is wrong.

All I know is that yesterday I was raked over fiery coals by friends' friends for simply disagreeing in love. Anyone would think I'd suggested that homosexuals should be gathered into concentration camps and silenced. But no. All I did was disagree with the lifestyle. Even some of my friends had a go at me (thankfully not many). Not sure if they'll be friends for long. Blah. Jesus come quickly.

My mother in law had a guy that they knew who had been in a cohabiting relationship with a another man for many years. When they broke up, the other guy took everything, and left him with nothing but the clothes on his back. My in laws let him live in their bunk house till he got back on his feet. Sure.... you could argue that what happened was consequences for living in a sinful lifestyle... but don't you think there should be some legal protection for people? Granted....calling it "marriage" took it too far.

If people desire to be their own god we have no right to not let them....but we shouldn't be redefining the order of things and how God willed for things to be.

There are and more were being worked on to protect people from such as this.............but none of the solutions to these problems involved the need for a Marriage Certificate.

Simple legislation would have easily corrected any protection not being offered to same sex partners.

In the beginning, this was the "cannon fodder" used to wins support for same sex marriage, but the real reason was to denounce the Sanctify of Marriage as established by God.

I was also attacked for posting a little about it on my church Facebook page. Some accused me of having 'a sick agenda'. I believe I was just standing for the authority of God's Word, in love.

I'm just so tired of everything. It's not cool when your brothers and sisters in Christ side with some beliefs of the Enemy.

Everyday we must get hotter and hotter for Jesus. You watch as the next few months some we call "friend" will exit our lives.

We are at the home stretch. Sodom and gomorrah have risen to the forefront (correctly so),and the triggers of this,islam,and the rise of the spirit of Pharisee,religious spirits,and treachery within the Body (Judas),all must be,before he returns for his bride.
