Usury - the year of Jubilee expressed the nature of the Father's heart; meanwhile credit card companies have built empires on the backs of those who would be the recipients of Jubilee.
Instead of a society of free men who learn to stand on their feet, we continually cut their feet out from under them. I don't confess to know how to fix the system, only that the system is not representative of a Godly nation.
President Barack Obama just gave us an imposed morality for the new Heath care for lower income and fair laws that regulate insurance companies from gouging the people which is in a galantry form for the people and this new insurance will not cover abortions that the government does not want to pay..........Repubicans do not like it because of the cost that they will have to pay when they return to office and the politics of non support......... Other than that the Liberal party is imposing morality in a expensive but positive way............

One of the reasons given against "Gay Marriage" is that some Christians just couldn't bring themselves to condoning sin.
I have no problem with that (other than thinking it is ridiculous).
However, with that back drop I was wondering the following:
What other rights of U.S. Citizens would you like to deny per your religious beliefs?
For instance:
Prohibit the sale of Alcohol? (if you believe Alcohol is prohibited per the Bible)
Prohibit divorce?
Others?
So what other sins would you like to.. legislate?
Lets PLEASE KEEP THE ISSUE OF GAY MARRIAGE OUT OF THIS THREAD.
Wine is drank in communion by many Christians
Divorce is biblically approved when adultery is commited by the spouse.
An why do you bring up Gay "Marriage", base the thread on it and then say you do not want to talk about it? Are you afraid there is a good arguement against it?
Divorce is biblically approved when adultery is commited by the spouse.
What about in matters where that approval is not met?

I think the OP was setting the stage based upon the insistance by Christians that it remain illegal based upon a scriptual interpetation that it is against God.
Would you agree that divorce that does not meet Gods approval is against God and if so would it be as proper then to make that illegal as well?

I really don't know why this is so hard to understand.
Lets go back to my original post shall we?

So in reading what I posted it is EASILY discern that I used "Alcohol" and "Divorce" as "Examples". I quite clearly after alcohol stated: "if you believe Alcohol is prohibited per the Bible" meaning I understand not all "Christians" think drinking Alcohol is a sin. Again.. it was an E.X.A.M.P.L.E
Now with the knowledge I've filled in your cup concerning the original post..
would you like to continue in the discussion?

Please don't take this the wrong way..
but lets compare stats. i've never done this before but I feel as though it works for your question:
You joined C-D in February 2010
I joined C-D in November 2006
You have 95 posts
I have over 4,300 posts
I think over the years I've been able to figure out what topics are "thread killers". Inevitably if I included "Gay Marriage" in the discussion the thread would turn into a trollish dead end. As such I specifically requested it NOT be discussed in this thread (a request by the way you fantastically seemed to not be able to listen to).
So ByeBye.. If you want to discuss Gay Marriage... start a thread. But don't do it here..
What about in matters where that approval is not met?

I don't really know if it would work to have God's law used as the law of the U.S. God's law is governed by God, and the law of the U.S. is governed by many both believers and non-believers.
If we used God's law to Govern the U.S. The government would be in charge of condemning all those to death who do not accept Jesus Christ as thier Savior.
