As he spoke of salvation with the woman about to be stoned for adultery?

We keep overlooking the fact that marriage equality, aka GAY RIGHTS is NOT a sin according to nearly 50% of us and our understanding of scriptures.

He spoke with anyone who would listen. He told her "go, and sin no more".

Not really an in-depth discussion about her salvation now was it?

Something He never said to a gay person, did he?

That women was living a lifestyle of sexual immorality. Homosexuality is sexual immorality, because it is sex outside of marriage in a way God never intended for it to be. So if Jesus told the woman to go and sin no more, he is telling her to stop committing sexual immorality, so this story can easily apply to a gay person as well.

It creates a chasm between the person trying to make homosexuality acceptable and his Christ that says it's unacceptable.

All these people trying to claim homosexuality is biblically acceptable are just showing Jesus and his disciples to be wrong.

They are creating their own set of rules after they have thrown out God's rules.

Would it be wrong as a Christian to attend a gay wedding supporting her as a friend or should I just stay away from it all together?
If you don't go, I think you should drop the "friend" because point-blank, you aren't their friend.

So if she as a Christian wanted to marry a Atheist or Muslim that hates her religion and I didnt go, does that mean Im not her friend then also. You mean to tell me if you dont agree with your friends relationship or mate, that you are not their friend?

If one of my friends said they want to move in with their boyfriend or girlfriend and I say I dont agree with your decision, I think you should only live together if you are married, would that mean Im not their friend then all of a sudden??

My friend lived with his wife for 8 months before they got married and I told him I didnt agree with the whole shacking up, but that doesnt mean im not his friend.

Yes, friends understand and respect each others view points when there is a disagreement.

If I did not believe in co-habitation, I say co-habitation does not work for me. Your friends were not "shacking up". They were living together as a loving couple.

You would be shacking up. I can see why it might seem unpleasant and seedy.

People who allow their personal differences at a wedding explode? YouTube is full of those weddings.
