Cal Supreme Court Say YAY to Gay Marriage

[GraceAbounds]

I'm pretty sure the Bible frowns on pre marital sex too but you'd find it harder to find a Christian, who thinks gays are wrong, who looks down on that just as equally.

Who cares what a Christian thinks? I post on here all the time and am ignored ... :24: :jk

No, seriously ... I'm Christian and I don't think that way. But I totally get what you are saying Peter, and it is a shame.

As hard as I find it to believe in God, I find it even harder to believe that God would dislike one of his children loving and caring for another one of his children. Even if they are of the same sex.

Jesus preached most about hypocracy. And yet, modern christianity seems rife with it. Christ did not command us to go out into the world and force people to believe as you do. The voice of christianity seems exclutionary, reactionary and repressive. Part of the reason I have no place of worship.

God does not have a problem with his children loving and caring for another. It is the sexual act that God says is a sin.

Think what you like, just don't force(legislate) your beliefs on the rest of us.

So they can hold hands and be in each other's hospital room, just not have sex??

Yeah I just don't buy it. If they are loving and caring people, I doubt very much that god would look down upon them.

She's not.

She's giving her opinion in a thread.

Edit: That was to gillibean.

I didn't say she was trying to legislate. I haven't seen her say that yet.

I am part of this discussion. I am not forcing my beliefs on anyone.
I stated what God's Word says about homosexual sex.
Whether you think it bunk or not is strictly up to you.

As far as your question, people can do whatever they please.
We can choose to believe and obey or not.
When I didn't believe and obey I didn't care what God thought, obviously.

No but you got offensive about it, like you tend to do:

She didn't need you to tell her that. It was unnecessary and brought along some negative implications. Whether you intended that or not, they were there.

Pointless.

and just to add...

Heck, now I do believe and I still don't fully obey. [sarcasm]I guess other real Christians will hate me too now.[/sarcasm]
Ooops, I'm a Christian ... I'm not suppose to talk like that.

Seriously, this is just another point for darkness to distract from the true message. Love God with all your heart, mind, body, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself. These 2 commandments will fulfill all the other 'laws'.

Now the trick is understanding the difference between what God says is love and what this world says is love. And for that you'll need to open the Word and take a journey.

... what a long ... strange trip it's been ....

I don't think you are forcing your opinions on others by stating them on here. That's what forums are for! Your opinions are very well stated. Forcing them on others would be making same sex marriages illegal. As long as you aren't trying to do that, I have no problem with you at all. I'm sorry my statement before didn't come off very well.

I answered that question at the beginning of the thread if you'd like to check it out.
Once you read my answer, I understand that you may not agree with it. But maybe from reading some of my other posts you will at least understand where my response/answer is coming from better.

 

[Obdurate]

Might as well ignore my previous post since you apologized to her.

I do disagree since the definition of marriage throughout the world isn't just 1 man and 1 woman. I hate when the definitions of words are twisted and forced to be new and totally different things just because they are used wrong a lot. It just depends on your perspective as to what marriage means.

You quoted The Grateful Dead?!?!?!? I am reporting you to the Christian behavior police!!!!

 

[gillibean]

Where is your support for that? For thousands of years, the definition of marriage was a man and a woman and was that way in all 50 states for 100s of years until very recently. The definition of marriage had to be changed to allow for same sex marriages.

I wasn't referring specifically to the US. Globally there are many definitions of marriage.

 

[gillibean]

My bet is all of the definitions were man and woman until the last 20 or 30 years or so. Don't know that for sure, but I think that's a safe bet.

Same sex marriage in the non-European world - ColorQ Articles Etc

LOL my friend.

 

[Minor Axis]

If you're open minded, allow them to live in sin with a legal relationship and then burn in Hell. What's the problem?


(Just to clarify, I have no problem with gay marriage/civil union and I don't really think they are going to burn in hell. That was me pretending to be someone else- no one here though...
