There is no better honey than can be found in the living Word Psalm 119:103 "How sweet are Your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth.".

My post may not convey what you are remarking on. What do you mean by that? Only actionable offenses? Does EPH 6:12 have any bearing on the statement because wrestle and struggle (contend against) is pretty similar.
Ephesians 6:12 pertains to the evil in the world.

My contention is not to make "struggles" synonymous with "sin'

The Gospel centers around how we fall short of the mark (sin) in light of God's absolute perfection.

17 Gimel Deal bountifully with your servant, that I may live and keep your word.
18 Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of your law.
19 I am a sojourner on the earth; hide not your commandments from me!
20 My soul is consumed with longing for your rules at all times.
21 You rebuke the insolent, accursed ones, who wander from your commandments.
Psalm 119: (ESV)

Many times I have sounded of that as christians we should resist or oppose the system. To be sounded out and reminded the we are to obey our leaders as they were "Chosen By God." But when I point out tha the legal definition for marriage has been changed and that legal marriage is not by law a godly marriage, I get flack. Am I confused? I say the law of men should be respected when possible as long as it dosn't pretend to be of God and that includes marriage. I never pretended that being Gay is OK or Godly. It clearly is not. Soon a Christian marriage may be stricken from the law too. Will I stop honoring it? NEVER!I we have to hide in a cave or the woods to be a part, I will. But I can clearly see a difference between the two laws according to the reasons and conditions people get married. Our single mindedness on this issue is disturbing. To me spiritually, a marriage between two non Christians is only a empty vow and a piece of paper, useless as circumcision. In order to be of any value both persons must be circumcised of the heart. There is nothing as valuable.

What the world does the world will do. They are blind to the light of the gospel.
We are not here to oppose the system but to the saving of souls out of a dying world.
But we are also children of the light and ought to walk in the light.
It matters to God what we do in Jesus' name as ambassadors of Christ.

Thus regardless of the peripheral issues presented on this thread the core issue arises from the OP posted by RickZ -
should a professed Christian, a person representing our Lord and God, attend a "gay wedding" ?

Would I as a God fearing Christian go into a Buddhist or Hindu temple and participate in their worship so as to keep the lines
of communication open?
So that they can know if they want to talk to me they can because I have accepted their ceremony as valid and equal to
my Christian worship of Jesus.

A homosexual wedding is a profane ceremony and my wisdom is do not go.
Do not bring Jesus into a ceremony that is specifically spiritually offensive to God who ordained the true purpose of heterosexual
marriage.
Calibob has brought up other examples of non-Christian weddings that we should probably also not attend.
My daughter and son-in-law were married before a civil celebrant without any vows to God. Yes they are worldly and need the gospel like anybody else, but their marriage was not designed to bring a terrible profanity from the Adversary before God.

The rainbow movement has an agenda and that is to take Christian marriage and family down, down, down.
So why are some Christians so zealous to help them achieve this?

Yet again you’re comparing apples and oranges.

You can’t bring other religions ceremonies into your dubious well of invalid premises.

To me you come across a person that prefer keeping Jesus in your pocket so that the unworthy sinners you despise should not get to know him.

I got news for you, mon ami, we’re to spread out everywhere people are, regardless of them being Pharisees, righteous, self righteous, heinous sinners, gays, deadbeats, freeloaders, multimillionaires, shady people in general and etc etc.

But you, you’re advocating the complete opposite of what Jesus taught us. He said:

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.

Matthew 28:19

How you gonna do that from your safe place?

Because I am looking at it from two different points of view at least for a secular union or commitment of vows the question of my attendance at a reception is directly affected by my tolerance level much like a bachelor party. If there is nothing faux holy about it I may decide to go just like I might if I knew someone who married an atheist.

To me homo's are just unsaved people. However if the marriage mentioned God by any name I would not attend either. Nor would I tolerate the union between a Christian and a professing Muslim in any name of God. Are we clear? It's a free will issue. If they asked me to approve of the union, I would not. If they simply invited me to a party and I still went to parties I might. When I was asked make a toast at my late uncle, who died of liver disease's, wake. I declined.

The majority of the people I know and the places I go, are not Christian. I have learned to live among them without becoming one of them.
Oh Ok so your just willing to party and get the free meal. I got it. Of course, those in homosexuality are unsaved. And I would no more support the sin as I would not buy or give money to a drug addict. The idea that participating in reception is tolerance, I find laughable and I might add they very argument used by non-Christian and Christians who support the gay agenda.

So you won't toast your uncle but you will go and celebrate a gay wedding? Ok. LOl

the question was in neurology. federally or state accredited?I should have added psychology too. If I had the opportunity to have gone to a christian school specializing in my field I would have however they all expected tuition. And student loans are a scam.
your point is moot. You still can educate yourself.

what a bunch of Scubala. You think the law of the land is to be respected when it goes or violates Gods? If you think the man is not pretending to be God you sir, are very much unlearned. No one here is hiding in a cave. The mindset on this issue should be Biblical for those who call themselves, Christian. I find your comment as strange is one hand on an earlier post you complained about getting flack now you find other disturbing?
and you are wrong about marriage between two non-Christians who are a man and women. That is your issue. Are you married?

you don't have to answer. This is why you are very much wrong those who are unsaved and marry when they get saved Does God require or the word of God them to divorce? No. your reasoning is flawed. what about when an unsaved husband and saved wife ? are they do divorce if they want to stay together? no.

I never went to a gay event in my life. I even refused to go to a gay pride parade when requested by my employer. The same that fired me for being homophobic. You seem to have a penchant for putting words in peoples mouths that were never said.

Who's lying to them. I most certainly do not approve of homosexual behavior any more than I would astrology. I was saying we can't stomp out homosexuality like a bug. For some abstinence my be the only solution while others may relearn life skills they never learned properly. But this was about a wedding reception. That I was never invited to between people I don't know.

Now we are back to the definition of marriage. Aren't JW's Moonies, LDS, Astrologers,and Satanists just as wicked as Homo's? And who said anything about about a godly wedding. I know it's ungodly. But I know it's protected by the supreme court that has also changed the definition of marriage. Don't get mad at me, Get mad at them, they did it and I don't even know if I would go. It's just a social event.
and no one is trying to stomp them out. And as I said Biblically the "Reception" is a celebration which is part of the wedding you can't separate your humanism from the Word of God. I am not speaking from a humanist point of view but a biblical one. Why? because this is a Christian chat site where the word of God is the final say not man. If I want to use secular non-bias resources which there are many. the medical community has provided many studies to show the damages of the lgbtq agenda but that is called controversial because it brings light to the destructiveness of this sexual preferences of a few of those letters.

Transgender is a false narrative and abandonment of reality.

No I didn't I said I might. As a matter of fact the only parties I've gone to in the past 11 years are childrens birthday parties and some dinner for the local Hispanic Baptist church.It would depend on a lot of circumstances beyond the scope of what we have discussed. The new Nationalist agenda frightens me more than the Gay agenda.

Ok, so your in what is known behavioral modification. and you prefer secular people. Maybe you should do a study on the authors to find where they may have biases. And it is funny you would have a 12 step book and an AA one too they all do not teach you can be free from the addiction they teach you to live with it. You have a lot more to learn.

Well since normal society considers it normal to consume alcohol at celebrations like holiday parties, weddings and sporting event's and I realize that's the ticket to relapse. I consider alcoholism incurable. I can never be normal agian.

Our nephew, who is one of the most respectful and responsible people I know, is marrying his boyfriend.

Do we go out of respect for him, or stay away because of the gay issue?
It's not a marriage, so why go giving the impression that it is. That would be deceitful.
