Having recently watched a federal judge overthrow the will of the people in my state who voted to ban same-sex marriage I feel we are in perilous times.

A single act of homosexuality is considered an abomination in God's Word the Bible. Therefore marriage between two homosexuals is off the moral scale as far as abominations go. I think we all need to wake up before our nation is destroyed for this and all the rest of our horrible sins.

There is NO double standard with God.

Here is a scripture from the both King James Version and the Easy-to-Read Version of the Bible:

Leviticus 20:13

KJV:
If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

ERV:
“If a man has sexual relations with another man as with a woman, they have committed a terrible sin. They must be put to death. They are responsible for their own death.

The US Government is promoting sin and eventually we are all going to have to pay a heavy price.

There are at least a half dozen other more recent threads on homosexuality. Go read those. Both your scripture and your morality have been debunked.

I respectfully disagree.

You cannot overthrow the scriptures. They are plain and can't be twisted.

But you can overthrow a nation by a handful of federal judges given absolute power if we are not careful.

Our children are watching same sex adults kissing and hugging like their mother and father and not one of these liberals seems to see the damage that does.

Not everyone shares your religious views.

Scripturally it is equally as bad as any form of immorality, drunkenness, murder and a few others 1 Cor 6:9-11

NLT 1 Corinthians 6:9 Don't you know that those who do wrong will have no share in the Kingdom of God? Don't fool yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, who are idol worshipers, adulterers, male prostitutes, homosexuals, 10 thieves, greedy people, drunkards, abusers, and swindlers-- none of these will have a share in the Kingdom of God.11 There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God. You have been made right with God because of what the Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God have done for you.

So if you cheat on your wife, lie to your boss regularly or are a thief, you are as bad as a Homosexual in God's sight. All are equally bad.

There is just about more of ALL those sins you mention than there is homosexuality. But it is indicative of twisted religious minds that virtually every thread about sin on the Christianity forum is about homosexuality--and never about divorce--the most prevalent sin among such so called Christians.

So why is it that people who claim to be Christian are obsessed with pointing their fingers at homosexuals? Would it be because they are sometimes adulterers, many are divorced and scripturally living in constant adultery, sometimes they're drunk, sometimes they cheat on their taxes, or gouge others in their business dealings---but they are NEVER a homosexual---so it's pretty easy to beat up on those people?

This is the Pharisee at his best. Others sins are always greater. His own sins are always misunderstood--and minor anyway.

No person can truly become a Christian until they understand how ugly their own sin is in the eyes of God. And then they will want to spend more time taking care of their own problem than pointing out someone else's.

They point at Homosexual sins for two reasons.

1. To avoid dealing with the other serious sins in their churches

2. Homosexuality is being forced on people as normal behavior and accept it or pay a price.

Have you seen any laws passed requiring everyone to accept adultery as normal and not a sin?

I could not have stated a truth such as this more poignantly than this.

Answer to #2 -- yes, it is called "no-fault" divorce - legal in all 50 states. Surely this has hurt marriages more than anything else. But then again, why would Christians rely on the power of the State to hold the bonds of marriage together?
