the difference though is that you have no religious objection to teaching people self defense. i do haev a religious objection to gay marriage. does that mean i would serve gays otherwise? no. but do not try to force me to serve a gay wedding, i will never support such an act.
i dont care if a person is gay or not either. i have known many gay people and their sexuality never bothered me in the least. that is not the objectionable part though, its the gay WEDDING i object to.
It was only a matter of time before this happened. People say it will never happen in the US but give it time before some gay couples try this. I doubt it will go anywhere hopefully.
The reason the gay want married in church is to defy God .no other reason period.
If some one want's to get married they can go to the judge and have it done and be done with it .
Being dnoe in church is looking for their endorcmet and knowing full well the church doe not endorce gay marraige is defiance and in a sense Spittting God in the face , see we can defy your law and you are not going to do any thing abou it.
It is clearly not reverence for God, but out right rebellion to God .
Lust is not love ,and being gay is selfish lust, nothing less . the fact is is based on sex is proof enough.
Should the church condecend to this ,it is no repersentation of God's approval.
God does not teach lust.
That lust is Satan's tool.
And it is no surprize that many Satan worshippers are gay.
It is bad enough that people with no actual reverence for God, marry in church ,just to be politically correct so to speak.
Jesus said even idle converadtion will be required of us in judgment , so I do not doubt that whether one is a believer or not vows made are as binding spoken before public or in private.
Marriage is God's creation a man and a woman and the binding is as one flesh .
She is bound to the man for as long as he lives, together or apart.
If your so intent on dissolving what marriage is why bother marrying, except to insult God.
Absolutely! And this is where gay people would lose my support, in forcing churches to marry them. Would it be hypocrisy that the church would refuse to marry a gay couple? Yes. Because I believe that Christ would not turn away those who seek him out! But, I still support the rights of a church to refuse. There are other churches that will perform the marriage, and furthermore, as the 2 of you alluded to, if I were gay, why in the hell would I want to be a part of something where I'm not wanted?
There's nothing hypocritical about a Christian church refusing to marry gays.
Beyond that, gays here might think they want to make this next on their agenda, but they can pound salt. Not gonna happen; wouldn't be prudent.
I would love to see churches in the U.S. face a difficult choice:
Either...
1. Quit discriminating.
or
2. Pay taxes!
We all know that churches are a bunch of welfare queens who can't bear to pay taxes like the rest of us.
in other words go against the laws of god, because that is what the bibles tells us, homosexuality is against the laws of god,
or render unto ceaser that which is ceasers. since churches are non profit organizations, they dont have any profit to tax.
