Not having to pay money for a meal brings me happiness. If you saw that I stole would you let it be. I hope not. I’m sorry if Im coming off sassy (I am as little) I just can’t believe you are saying this.
A chaste human “marriage”?
Who are you kidding? :doh2:
Well, I can in the final analysis because people have been taking the easy way out on this in order to support so-called gay “marriage” a midst all sorts of selfish excuses/rationalizations.
My personal opinion is that homosexuality is sin, and that they are under a strong spell of Satan; they’re victims of abuse.
Christ did not go to the cross or take upon himself the crown of thorns because he was forced to under the law. He did so by choice. Once you start legislating religious values upon others, then you are no longer acting in accordance with the example of Christ.
So then why do you support government formally recognizing such behavior then?
Because gay marriage completely severs the union from any procreative potential whatsoever. It eviscerates any objective standard by which to call something a marriage in the first place.
This is impossible.
sure, you and I may believe that, but not everyone does and the state certainly does not. Are you also in favor of illegalizing marriages between a man and woman who have no intent of having children and have surgeries to make sure they can’t? Look, I’m playing devil’s advocate here, but there is a problem with inconsistency.
The difference is that a male/female couple can change their mind and choose to have children. If the couple is two men, one of them can’t spontaneously grow a uterus.
You are right about that my friend. It’s sad and disappointing. But in the end they will see Truth and they’ll be absolutely terrified or, if they repent, will have the ultimate joy.
not if they have irreversible surgical procedures, thus my adding that to my hypothetical example.
I never stated whether I support same-sex marriages. All I wanted to do was to make people aware of what is likely down the road and as a warning not to despair or grow angry.So then why do you support government formally recognizing such behavior then?
I see your point, I don’t think everything that is sinful should be illegal. An opposite sex sterile couple does not subvert marriage in a public way and cause many to fall into sin by thinking “anything goes” when it comes to the definition of marriage, a gay couple does. It’s still sinful but it’s not as earth moving as gay marriage.
I think we know what’s coming. I don’t despair and I’m not generally angry, so long as my religious freedom is protected. If that happens (forced acceptance of gay marriage) then I will get angry
Sometimes it’s ok to be angry, so long as it’s productive anger.
