Homosexuality in the New Testament

[habsheaven]

wow, me saying that telling a straight person that they secretly want a gay marriage is an insult makes me a bigot?

That's certainly what it looks like.

Again, not what he said.

How many times must I repeat myself. Gays have the same rights as marriage in civil unions. Gays reject this because they want to pervert the traditional, Judeo-Christian definition of marriage, and impose pagan immortality upon religious people by perverting marriage. Same reason for the denial of polygamy, which was never condoned in Scripture, and always ended badly for those in the Bible who practiced it.

You miss the point altogether. Recognizing gay marriage is an issue with state law. It has nothing to do with religious marriage whatsoever. The state definition of marriage is not linked to the Christian or any other religions definition of marriage. They are completely two different things. One follows rules of a specific religion and the other is a legal contract, to simplify it.

Constitutionally, this is all fallacy. Congress is prevented from establishing a national religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEROF. This means you cannot stop public prayer in school, you cannot force US to take down the 10 Commandments in front of courthouses, and you cannot block nativity scenes in from of government buildings, whether state, local, or federal.


Like it or not, the Constitution says we have the right to do these things. Liberal interpretation has allowed all sorts of unconstitutional nonsense.

Ur right. Our government doesn't designate what religion we must follow. That said, any publicly funded organization should be void of any religious type activities like praying. If all can't be offered then none should be

nope. that wouldn't apply because they wouldn't have all people on welfare go to a specific place of worship or perform any religious ritual while receiving, applying for, or spending their welfare payments. The recipients of welfare are free to follow whatever religious belief they want.

I got the point he was trying to make even though it's apples and oranges.
