Homosexuality in the New Testament

[mrveggieman]

veggie, does Jesus not say believe, not follow?

also I had freshly made (in our juicer) beet, cucumber, carrot, orange juice for dinner (thought you would like that)

So what's the difference between believing in and following? Also I'm feeling what you had for dinner last night.

That may be your opinion, but the verse above clearly states that Sodom and Gomorrah were examples of God's judgement on civilizations that practice sexual immorality.

America gave homosexuals the opportunity to reap the same benefits as marriage, just without the title marriage. However, homosexuals were not content with respecting religious beliefs, they were interested in perverting what God says is marriage.

Satan cannot create, he can only pervert or twist what God has created. He twisted man by getting him to sin, he doesn't create a homosexual Boy Scouts, he wants to twist or pervert a Christian based organization by forcing them to allow homosexuals. He can't create a homosexual Chick-fil-a, he can only twist or pervert a Christian corporation, and he cannot create a homosexual civil union, he can only twist or pervert the Judeo-Christian marriage.

I feel that it is well more than just my opinion. We live in a society where we are free to believe whatever we want religiously. Knowing this fact, please answer why any rational person would still think that one religious belief should stand over all of the others, including non-belief, when speaking about legal matters? It simply makes no sense and is completely selfish and arrogant that people think their religion should take precedence over all others.

The legality and benefits of marriage under a state in the U.S. has zero to do with any religion.

If people want to force homosexuals not to marry because they do not believe it's right then why not try to ban atheists from marrying as well?

again being legally married has nothing at all to do with religion. As a heterosexual atheist I can marry without any sort of religious connection and if I ever marry that will be the way it will happen for me. Completely void of any god or religious belief. How is this any different than a homosexual couple?

believing would be acknowledging he did in fact exist and did write the laws for the jews, following him would mean you are jewish.

How could one be jewish if they confessed to be christian and professed that jesus christ is their lord and savior?

well if you did not believe your religion to e the true religion, why would you believe? is confidence and faith arrogant and selfish? would you not try to help others who are making a wrong decision? why wouldn't someone's religion take precedence?

so it is ok for someone to put their beliefs on someone as long as they are not religious? that sounds arrogant to me.

If christians or anyone else want to put their religious beliefs over the rule of law why not just scrap the constitution and all of our bill of rights and go to a religious dictatorship just like the middle eastern countries that america is so quick to overthrough and install "freedom" to.

it's not about putting my beliefs over anyone else's but it is about me having the freedom to have my own beliefs.

If one wants to believe that the earth is flat that is their business and I support and defend their right to do so. However when you want to make life difficult for others because of your beliefs then that is where I have a problem with them.
