Why gay marriage is wrong!

[Flopper]

Just like blacks can marry blacks, and whites can marry whites.....no discrimination there either.

No comparison there, but hey...

Actually that is EXACTLY the comparison that was used by Virginia in Loving v. Virginia.

The Bible has been used to justify slavery, genocide, child abuse, and all manner of inhumanity. Using the Bible to deny gays the right to marry is to be expected. However, real Christians don't do this. Christ taught love and tolerance not hate and bigotry.

Who does it harm? For that matter why is the government a part of marriage anyway.

Because marriage is about property and governments main function is property.

 

[hazlnut]

Why gay marriage is good and why it is becoming legal so fast?

Because homophobes are being shamed and humiliated in record numbers.

America is coming closer to actually representing the ideals for which it claims to stand.

Jesus also told us to boldly proclaim the Gospel. And the Gospels condemn homosexual behavior. If you believe otherwise, it would lead me to doubt that you are a Christian.

Christ had nothing to say about homosexuality. What Christians site as Christ's condemned homosexuality are the writing of Paul.

So the condemnation of homosexuality is now a basic tenet of Christianity? I think you will find many Christian denominations would disagree with your statements.

Paul was an apostle of Christ. He was called directly by Christ, and spoke with the authority of Christ. Don't you know anything?

 

[Dragonlady]

Paul never even met Jesus. His authority to preach came from the Apostles, not Jesus.

Paul was a man, inspired by Jesus, but he was not with Jesus like the Apostles.

 

[Seawytch]

Debating religion is a sin in the New Testament. You're all going to hell with the gays!

10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage Is Wrong
We don't need bias here but does anybody have any weighty argument for homosexual marriage?
Without words about choice and freedom of love please.
Why gay marriage is good and why it is becoming legal so fast?

Freedom. That is the only argument necessary in the absence of any good argument against it.

Specifically? It helps children of same sex couples. It helps same sex couples. It helps encourage monogamy, which strengthen society. Just off the top of my head.

Frankly, liberals swallowing their DNA is in society's best interest.

If they want to have civil unions, fine. But their deviant, abnormal lifestyle should never be allowed to be called marriage. It is a disgrace and purposeful destruction to normal traditional marriage. The queers only make up a very small portion of the population, yet they want to force the normal population to accept them as normal.

The same bigots who reject same gender marriage have also rejected civil unions. An example is Georgia's anti-marriage law, which also forbids recognizing civil unions. Only now- when the prospect of marriage equality in all 50 states is slapping you in the face are you reluctantly offering a 'seperate but equal arrangement'- why would any homosexual agree?

My wife and I have been married for over 20 years- two men getting married hasn't harmed our marriage. If your marriage is harmed by two men getting married- its not their marriage which has the problem.

This should be filed under Religion.

Christianity does not want gays because of the raptures. Yet some other Religions don't care about gay marriage.

The big question here is, "WHY WAS A RELIGION IN THE LAND OF FREEDOM OF RELIGION ALLOWED TO MAKE LAWS AGAINST WE THE PEOPLE BASED ON A SPECIFIC RELIGION"

Learn anything? I know most of you think there are new laws being made to allow gay marriage because you don't know politics. When in fact, it is just America waking up and realizing we make mistakes and made some. We CAN NOT force people to be Christian and even the Bible teaches FREE WILL.

If you haven't learned anything yet, you are probably a Fox News Junkie.

Approximately half of the mainline Protestants and Catholics support gay marriage which shouldn't be surprising since Christ had essential nothing to say about homosexuality. Yet Evangelicals, who are largely anti-gay have nothing in the new testament to support their belief.

Christ never mentioned pedophiles or even murder for that matter and the New Testament is clear homosexuality is a sin

The New Testament barely mentions homosexuality- and that only if you agree with the rather questionable translations of the KJV. And not as a 'sin'- but as 'wrong'

KJV (King James Version 1611): For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature. And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet

Now remarrying after a divorce unless your wife was unfaithful- definite sin:

Jesus replied, “Moses permitted you to divorce your wives because your hearts were hard. But it was not this way from the beginning. 9 I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery.”

Christ never mentioned pedophiles or even murder for that matter and the New Testament is clear homosexuality is a sin

In the new testament, there are only 4 verses that have been interpreted as referring to homosexuality, Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:9–10. A fourth passage, Jude 1:7, is often interpreted as referring to homosexuality. However, other disagree.

The presumed references to 'homosexuality' itself in the New Testament hinge on the interpretation of three specific Greek words, arsenokoitēs, malakos, andporneia. While it is not disputed that the three Greek words concern sexual relations between men (and possibly between women), some academics interpret the relevant passages as a prohibition against prostitution rather than homosexuality.

None of the four gospels mentions the subject directly, and there is nothing about homosexuality in the Book of Acts, in Hebrews, in Revelation, or in the letters attributed to James, Peter, and John. The fact is Christ did not condemn homosexuality. Those that supposedly following in his footsteps certainly did.

I think Romans is pretty clear....regardless of your attempt to spin it.

Romans 1:26-27New International Version (NIV)
26 Because of this, God gave them to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

You didn't even read the post did you?

What Jesus did say very specifically is what is important:

29Jesus replied, “The most important commandment is this: ‘Listen, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only Lord.30And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength.’g31

The second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’h No other commandment is greater than these.”

But America is not a Christian theocracy.

If you want religion to write laws for society, try Sharia.
