Well, since you ran from my last post and the questions I asked, I’ll piggyback on this response.No, because the KKK is a terrorist organization. It has a record of bigotry, terrorism, and violence towards people that aren’t white.
I was also asked if I would support rape, if you can believe that.
I do not stand for discrimination, so I am in disagreement with the majority of posts on this thread.
Your friend’s brother isn’t asking him to attend a gay orgy. He’s asking him to attend a ceremony where he will pledge his love and life long commitment to his partner.
Are you seriously comparing that to rape, bigotry, and violence?
So the truth of the matter is that you approve of homosexual marriages. Correct? So it Is not that you don’t want us to not be judgmental it’s just that you don’t want people to be judgemental about sinful actions that you personally do not consider to be sins. Correct?No, because the KKK is a terrorist organization. It has a record of bigotry, terrorism, and violence towards people that aren’t white.

Under normal circumstances it is fine to go to a protestant wedding bu that might not be the case here. Unless he has left the church by a formal act he is still Catholic and bound by the church laws on marriage. Therefore this marriage will be invalid in the eyes of the church.He was Catholc, he is now Baptist, so the problems are, I believe, similar. What I want to know is, is it okay to go to a protestant wedding?
I’m not so sure about that. For a Catholic to attend would at least be a sin of Scandal. Correct me if I am wrong.So again it depends upon if you think your attending will help you influence him to come back to practicing in the church and validating his marriage.
That link contains many types of evil, and many definitions. It talks about physical evil, moral evil, and metaphysical evil. It talks about the nature of evil and three different methods to determine it.
I am an ex-catholic. Whether I consider homosexual acts evil or not is completely irrelevant to this thread. The OP is asking about attending a marriage.Well, since you ran from my last post and the questions I asked, I’ll piggyback on this response.
Do you consider the homosexual act evil?
What is your religious affiliation? I ask because you wittheld it from your profile. That always send up a red flag because it’s a tactic of the trollers on this forum.
Excuse me?Whether I consider homosexual acts evil or not is completely irrelevant to this thread. The OP is asking about attending a marriage.
I see your point, but you not correct.So it Is not that you don’t want us to not be judgmental it’s just that you don’t want people to be judgemental about sinful actions that you personally do not consider to be sins. Correct?
Answer seems preety obvious. Since youn told us you wouldnt attend a KKK rally because they areevil BUT told us we should attend a so called homosexual “wedding” it is apparent you think homosexual marriages are fine. What i find interesting is your reluctance to admit it.Excuse me?
The OP asked about attending a marriage. How is this in any way related to a homosexual act? Do you think they’re going to have gay sex on the alter?I am an ex-catholic.

Excuse me?
I didn’t say YOU should attend. If you don’t feel comfortable then I would recommend that you don’t attend.Answer seems preety obvious.

So you equate being indian with homosexual behavior? interesting.I didn’t say YOU should attend. If you don’t feel comfortable then I would recommend that you don’t attend.
I don’t think the OP should stop his friend from attending his brothers wedding.
I thought I made it clear that I don’t think attending a homosexual marriage would be wrong, and I previously compared it to attending an Indian wedding.
That doesn’t follow.So you equate being indian with homosexual behavior? interesting.
This has EVERYTHING to do with this thread. It is the crux of the matter.I am an ex-catholic. Whether I consider homosexual acts evil or not is completely irrelevant to this thread. The OP is asking about attending a marriage.

Which is why homosexual acts are irrelevant to this thread. There are no sexual acts (homosexual or otherwise) during a same-sex marriage.Being homosexual is not a sin - just as having a sexual addiction is not a sin.
It is when we act upon these impulses that sin presents itself.
I agree with you that this is relevant, but I don’t agree with your extremist view. There is no harm or violence coming upon anyone during a same sex marriage. There is nowhere in the bible that says a same sex marriage is a sin.A "marriage" between 2 homosexuals is an unholy union because marriage includes the consummation. Therein lies the sin. Marriage is an institution created by God between a man and a woman.
Anything else is an abomination to God.
You’re just taking a position.Which is why homosexual acts are irrelevant to this thread. There are no sexual acts (homosexual or otherwise) during a same-sex marriage.
I agree with you that this is relevant, but I don’t agree with your extremist view. There is no harm or violence coming upon anyone during a same sex marriage. There is nowhere in the bible that says a same sex marriage is a sin.
Again, I’m making a distinction between a marriage and a sexual act.
The bible doesn’t condemn homosexual marriage because it does not exist. Marriage = a woman + a man. A marriage needs to be consummated in order for it to be valid. Two men can not consummate their marriage because their 2 parts are not meant to go together. Same way that two women can not consummate it. Their parts are incompatible for consummation. The friend would be attending a lie because their is no such thing as “gay marriage”Which is why homosexual acts are irrelevant to this thread. There are no sexual acts (homosexual or otherwise) during a same-sex marriage.

I’m unfamiliar with the idea of mutually voluntary sodomy being violence against God, but I agree that you can’t get much further from God. Theologically. But that’s not the only consideration; my point, quite simply, was that to absolutely refuse to go would even further solidify his choice to pursue immorality. It would entirely close off any idea of a dialog, and thus any idea of a conversion. I’m not sure how much of a Good Work you’re doing if you’re doing it in a way that hardens someone’s heart even further.Good Lord - how much further can someone get from God than by participating in homosexual marriage? Sodomy is one of the sins that cry out for the vengeance of heaven. It’s violence AGAINST God.
