So you presume to speak for God. Something about how "pride goeth before a fall" springs to mind here.
I presume you are a very obtuse human being.
Either that or one who is so not wanting to know who God is that he will come up with the lamest of excuses to pretend mankind cannot know anything about God and that God has done nothing to communicate with mankind.
The Christian Bible speaks out against adultery more than it does homosexuality. Jesus even specifically condemns adultery and divorce:
I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.
Jesus never addresses homosexuality.
Do you know I have NEVER seen anyone start a topic on this forum condemning second marriages or third marriages? Do you know I have NEVER heard of a county clerk refusing to let someone marry their fifth husband? Do you know I have NEVER heard of a bakery refusing to make a cake for a person's fourth wedding?
Spare me your self-righteous bullshit.
And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
>>The Christian Bible speaks out against adultery more than it does homosexuality. Jesus even specifically condemns adultery and divorce: "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery."
So what? Contain yourself and stay on topic.
>>Jesus never addresses homosexuality.
I would argue that strongly. Jesus is God. God is the author of Scripture. Or are Paul’s letters of minor nature compared to the gospels? That’s a convenient way out. Jesus also established His Church, as the ruling authority on earth for Himself. To Peter: “I give thee the keys to the kingdom.” --- no small matter. --- “Whatsoever you (the Church) shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Whatsoever you shall hold bound on earth shall be held bound in heaven.” In other words --- all that is not specifically taught in Scripture (and the Catholic Church is the only authority to interpret Scripture as well, another important point) is left to the pope and the Church councils to rule on. Including which books make up the Bible. Including matters such as sin and abortion and gay marriage. You have free will and can dismiss it all if you please, but I would never.

Are you suggesting you have just laid out major hypocrisy that discredits the Catholic Church or the Bible or Christianity? What exactly are you trying to say, I cannot tell? But if you are trying to tell me gay marriage is all OK with God, you have a long way to go to make your case. Are you saying the same about abortion? How about gay sex? God approves? No, I have never made a top post about second marriages but then again, the religious board here is pretty lame and unresponsive so I tend not to bother any longer. But I have made long posts about sex outside of marriage being very much sinful, shall I exclude gay sex? I have made many posts about the cross a gay person carries is far heavier than a hetero and it very well may be that God has far more mercy for one who could not help themselves. I have said on numerous occasions that adultery may be a far more grave sin for a believer than a lifestyle of homosexuality for another, and I challenge you to challenge me to prove that.
>>Spare me your self-righteous bullshit.
Spare me your lame judgments. I love the self-righteous claim, that should always disarm any Christian who dares to remind the group of what our Lord teaches us and put you at ease.
>>"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? …Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye."
Yes, I get it. Run to those favorite verses of the opponent of Christians. You are now completely exonerated because you are the nice guy who lets the world sin away and you say nothing. We need more pacifists like you. But anyone who dares speak up and challenge society against its immoral ways is a self-righteous Pharisee hypocrite. Boy doesn’t that make your choices and your responsibilities to God so much easier to undertake? Just criticize anyone who dares call something a sin, because you know they are a sinner too. Good job. But if and when you find someone who has no sin you will let me know wont’ you? Because God could sure use that person.
