I hear you ilovejesus1234 - SHORTENED BECAUSE OF LONG CHARACTER LIMIT.
Okay that makes complete sense, thank you for rationally telling me the answer. To the others, please, don’t be harsh with this topic, we are only learning about it and it is hard for us to learn the right thing to do, if you guys are very unkind.
As for the topic, all I am stuck with William, is that I see how gay marriage should not be treated as equally as regular heterosexual marriage. But I am still stuck with, should we go ask far as to make it illegal, that is why I want to sit on the fence on this one. I think it is unethical/immoral how homosexual couples try to be the same as heterosexual couples, and that no matter what, I won’t agree with them having kids, being parents, marrying, or anything else, I won’t agree with what they do. Unless they just love each other without any immorality.
But why should we make it illegal, I personally don’t want to make it illegal or legal but sit on the fence. I agree abortion should be illegal because you are murdering your son or daughter, no matter what box you put it in. It is still murder in or out of the womb. Birth Control is sorta the same for people in the world, Birth Control prevents life from being formed in “man’s” hands not God’s hands.
That is sorta why in my opinion he made the menstrual cycle(and NFP) with its points that woman can and cannot produce young as a natural “self controlling” way of birth control. The pill pretty much allows people to have sex all the time, in a way of modifying the sexual organs to be infertile almost all the time. It is unethical because we are playing God and being a bit selfish, and stopping the natural order of things. It is immoral because we are sorta forcing a baby to not be conceived, but it is probably more venial and less of a mortal sin, for gentiles(people who are not inside the church, or who are inside the church but don’t follow some of its teachings). I think of it as less severe and less immoral/unethical than abortion for gentiles (symbolism), I doubt God condemns them for it. But abortion I am sure God gets kind of upset at to the gentiles.
Does this make sense? These are my understanding of Church teachings, correct me if I am wrong. I am still learning, but I mainly take my understanding of god not condemning other gentiles from these verses. Or condemning them differently because they have a different law then we do because they don’t follow church teachings.
Verses:
John 12: Jesus cried out and said, “Whoever believes in me believes not only in me but also in the one who sent me, 45 and whoever sees me sees the one who sent me. 46 I came into the world as light, so that everyone who believes in me might not remain in darkness. 47 **And if anyone hears my words and does not observe them, I do not condemn him, **for I did not come to condemn the world but to save the world. 48 Whoever rejects me and does not accept my words has something to judge him: the word that I spoke, it will condemn him on the last day, 49 because I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me what to say and speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. So what I say, I say as the Father told me.”
Romans 2 : 2 All who sin outside the law will also perish without reference to it, and all who sin under the law will be judged in accordance with it. 13 For it is not those who hear the law who are just in the sight of God; rather, those who observe the law will be justified. 14
For when the Gentiles who do not have the law by nature observe the prescriptions of the law, they are a law for themselves even though they do not have the law. 15 They show that the demands of the law are written in their hearts,[f] while their conscience also bears witness and their conflicting thoughts accuse or even defend them 16 on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge people’s hidden works through Christ Jesus.
