Do you even read Bible?
Romans 13.
This is the quote of verse 1 and 2 from NIV.
13 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.

Do you realize God has actually revealed that is not gay? That he is not a lesbian? And that even more so, he considers it sinful to have homosexual sex? Yeah---seriously! He's actually told us!


No...he wasn't. Jesus affirmed the Biblical definition of marriage. He wasn't gay.
During those thousands of years there have been some SSM, agree limited in numbers and geography. There are records of it in Europe according to an article Re it's history.

In Canada it is the church that decides if it will perform SSM and we do not even have the same protection of religion has the USA has. I think you are safe in your own little church, as it should be.

Your side just defined religious morals for generations to come. Sounds like you want a theocracy as long as it fits your ideology.

You want to believe that. But of course he could have been having it off with a woman. Whatever, I hope he had a fulfilled sex life, gay or straight!

By and large, though, society has always embraced male/female marriage over homosexual activity.

For now, at least. It's a matter of time before 2 men or 2 women come knocking on my door, explaining that this was their Granma's church and they want to have a wedding here.

Aww... wanting to get married in Granma's church. How sweet.

Of course any gay couple knocking on the door of Granma's church..... then finding a frowny-faced fundie who thinks they are going to hell for being gay will do an about face, knock the dust from their feet, and get back in the car. "That isn't the guy I want presiding over the happiest day of our lives. Granma would be shocked if she saw how we were treated."

You still have the right to define your religious morals any way you want.
Thankfully, in this instance, you weren't able to define them for others who do not share your views.
