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.
He would attend![]()
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 agree that Christ would attend.![]()

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.
There is no scripture in the bible against heterosexuals marrying CHRISTIAN AND NON-CHRISTIANS. [/COLOR]
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.
God created Adam and Eve completely nude. Should clothes therefor be forbidden?
No because at that point sin hadn't entered the world.God created Adam and Eve completely nude. Should clothes therefor be forbidden?
God doesn't approve of Homosexuality, therefore he DOES care.God doesn't care if it's adam and eve, or adam and Steve
Shall I go for your opinion... or God's word? Choices choices...In my opinion
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?anyone who follows the bible to the letter are backwards, and also reading it wrong.
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.

Thank you. I actually like to discuss and debate, not just topics in here but in life in general. My dad tells me I should have been a lawyer but I think nursing suits me better.
