Gay marriage

Why would a bisexual be any less capable of monogamy than a heterosexual? Are you daft enough to believe that a bisexual requires 2 partners on the go at the same time?


And heads up sir, this ain't ancient Greece or Sparta. (That comparison is tired and predictable).

This is not ancient Sparta or Greece?

What does that mean exactly?

Does that mean we ignore what went on there because it makes you uncomfortable?

All sin is the result of weaknesses of the flesh. The genetic makeup of people predisposes them to sin. Some are prone to be unfaithful spouses, some are attracted to children, some attracted to the opposite sex, some cannot resist stealing and some lying. However none have a valid excuse for committing these sins. All are sins and all will be judged at the appropriate time.

Are you saying that if a person is gay, it's a weakness of the flesh?

And then there is Raj.

Has it been established that being gay is a sin?

Here is a list of sins from Paul.

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. (1 Corinthians 6:9-10 KJV)

Surely you know that the wicked will not possess God's Kingdom. Do not fool yourselves; people who are immoral or who worship idols or are adulterers or homosexual perverts or who steal or are greedy or are drunkards or who slander others or are thieves---none of these will possess God's Kingdom.
(1 Corinthians 6:9-10 GNB)

In spite of all YOUR "caterwauling" you'll never be free without Jesus. Jesus isn't going away, in fact He's returning. Get ready to meet Him while you still can.

I'm not holding my breath. That BS has been said for the last 2000 years, literally, and nobody comes back. Of course that is the way it should be due to the fact your Jesus died in Kashmire because he didn't die on the cross, was cut down early by bribing the guards and slathered with healing lotions and recovered, realizing he better get out of Dodge or he would be really killed, took off up the silk road and founded monastery's along the way that had no known founder and up the silk road to India and there is a grave there as evidence.

Of course you would deny that, being thoroughly brainwashed by your religion.

From 2001. It makes a LOT of sense to me, explains a LOT. No need for supernatural BS.

Jesus took a hard line on divorcing and remarrying as well, yet many Christians seem to reconcile that just fine.

Or there is the Catholic church who says that abortion is murder, and the Pope recently just came out and compared abortionists to Nazis, yet many Catholics still have abortions or still vote for the Nazi abortionist politicians.

But then, ...[text shortened]... have swell welfare programs, don't they so why not vote for a Nazi to get your free everything?

One more time, whodey, Nazis were fascists, not socialists.

Why do you keep ignoring this simple lesson?

Paul also said that women should be silent in church.

Do you also have a list of the sins OF Paul? I thought not.

Holger Kersten's works have been discredited over and over, not just by Biblical scholars, but by Indology scholars as well.

This is just like Trump supporters believing Fox News -- it's because they desperately WANT to believe it. Just like you desperately WANT to believe that Jesus didn't die on the cross and wasn't resurrected three days later.

Then clearly women should be silent in the church.

Sins OF Paul [just like the sins OF Rajk or YOU,] have no bearing on this discussion. I know that is hard for your little mind to understand.

Chances are that is why Paul told them to shut up in the first place. They had a habit of talking nonsense when he was telling people what Jesus told him to say.

What is going on with this issue?
If the Bible doesn't approve of same sex partners, then how are so many churches side stepping that point, and being LGBT friendly?

Does anyone know?
Is there a Biblical verse that they've found to defend their stance?

My regret last year was voting 'Yes' on gay marriage. My bad. I should have given it some thought. Now it is legalized. My son went to see his uncle get nmarried recently. I didn't want to stop him going however I did make my own views on it perfectly clear to him. Legalized gay marriage is a blight on the gays and the straights alike. In my humble opinion.
