**"**Unsubstantiated" claims that the homosexual union is sinful??
**Maybe you should crack a bible open and see for yourself that there is **PLENTY of condemnation for homosexual union:
Genesis 2:20-24
Leviticus 20:13
Leviticus 18:22
Romans 1:26-27
1 Cor. 6:9

Again, unsubstantiated claims. You are interpreting this with your pre-existing world view. None of these versus suggest that attending a same sex wedding would be sinful.

The “wedding” itself is an abomination to God because it flies in the face of his natural plan of the union between a man and a woman.

Again, unsubstantiated. All I see from these kind of statements is selective tolerance.

The bible also says that women can’t talk in church and that slaves should obey their masters. You aren’t advocating that, are you?

I would support my brother if he was pledging his commitment and love towards someone, and I wouldn’t read into it or judge his personal life when he is not harming other people. That is between him and God.

God loves us even as sinners. We can love our loved ones but we do not have to love what they do, or agree with what they do. I have to ask myself what would God do in a situation like this. Would he go or not go? Remember in the Bible when God overturned the tables of the money changers, He went but he did not condone what they did. I am not saying we need to condone to violence of any kind shape or form. How ever we decide to act or not act we need to remember to always ask ourselves this question first: What Would Jesus Do? Sincerely, this is tough situation. God Bless you what ever way you choose.

**You are a ****relativist **of the worst sort. If what the Church teaches as Truth doesn’t suit you – you make up your own brand of “truth”.
You** still**** haven’t told me whether or not you believe in what Scripture says about the homosexual act – that it is patently sinful. You say that it is irrelevant to this thread but as I have point out – it is the very heart of the matter. You continue to dance around whether or not the ceremony itself is sinful. Let me reiterate this for the umpteenth time – it IS.**
**You seem to think that if something isn’t spelled out explicitly in Scripture, it’s “unsubstantiated”. Can you show me where Scripture explicitly names the Holy Spirit? The Bible? Transsexuality? Again – you ****CAN’T **because it’s not there but these things exist, don’t they?
Show me the formula for a wedding ceremony in the bible – anywhere. Can you? You CAN’T. It’s not there but marriage does exist, doesn’t it? This is part of the unwritten tradition spoken of in 1 Thess. 2:15. Weddings ARE spoken of in Scripture but nowhere is the homosexual wedding ceremony even implied. It’s not because the homosexual union is an abomination to God as I have already given you ample scriptural proof of.
As I have already explained to you ad nauseum – taking part in somebody else’s sin makes you guilty of it.
**Tell me – ****what **is your religious affiliation? Do you believe that the homosexual act is a sin?
 
Now that I think on it, whether this person goes to their brother’s wedding or not, it won’t change the brother’s orientation; it won’t show him this orientation is “wrong”; it won’t show him that it’s “immoral”.

What’s done is done.

Well, if that’s the case, If I may quote the Lord, (Luke 9:60)…
“Let the dead bury their dead…”

There’s really no point in anyone engaging you any further in this matter. If you held that the Magisterium, as well as the Bible, is infallible in teaching on morals, you wouldn’t throw out the word “unsubstantiated”. You’re clearly not a Catholic, so we’re arguing from completely different perspectives on what comprises Truth.
 
I would go to the “wedding” and sob and shake my head so that everybody could see I don’t approve and that it is not a happy occassion. I would make these faces:nope: :tsktsk: :dts: :bighanky: :crying:

This is hardly a good comparison.
Jesus rebuked the money changers in the Temple. You say Jesus “went but he did not condone what they did”. Jesus went to the temple but he didn’t go there to take part in their abominable acts.

If you were going to use this as a comparison to attending an abominable ceremony, the Catholic attendee would have to go there to rebuke - not to support.

I meant to say the “Holy Trinity”.

Excellent. We should all of us go out and witness. 👍

If that’s okay, then it’s okay for me to go to mass and pocket the communion wafer. Then burn it.

Because what you purpose is just as offensive.

Well now. That’s a very interesting idea, but I would not call that witnessing like her. Just don’t cowardly sneak out the door with the stolen Blessed Sacrament in your pocket and do this hideous thing in secret. Why don’t you do it like the man you are and burn it inside the church, during the service. Make your point, witness, then report back to us on what happens to you.

Gee, know what? Ill bet I already know what will happen.

Well. Now that’s a very disgusting idea. Still, I would not call that witnessing in your face like her and I do not think its “just as offensive.” Different worlds. :dts:

Wait a second. Here’s a suggestion to think about. Just don’t, under any circumstances, cowardly sneak out the door with the stolen Blessed Sacrament hidden away in your pocket and do this hideous thing in secret. Just for the sake of discussion. Why don’t you do it like the man you are, and burn it inside the church, during the service. Make your point, witness in there face, then report back to us on what happens to you.

Gee, know what? Ill bet I already know what will happen. So do you. :signofcross:

My crying and being upset about a gay ‘wedding’ is not going to offend God. I do not care if I offend anyone else when it comes to The Truth.

One of the two above actions offend God. YipYupYep, I am glad that you can see which one that would be
