Why not? Christians are under no obligation to recognize “legal” documents that attempt to prop up a relationship that is, by its nature, intrinsically evil. Indeed, they are obliged to use whatever means at their disposal to tear such relationships apart. The nurse in this story ought to be commended for her courage in the face of the lie that is this particular same-sex couple’s “relationship.”
You state ‘lapsed Catholic’ as your religion. It appears what has lapsed is your humanity.
Don’t you understand? He obeys a Higher law.
Firstly, emotions are a poor substitute for reason as the basis for any type of behavior. Secondly, if the person with same-sex attractions has chosen to alienate him or herself from family, then they ought not be shielded from the consequences of such a rash decision. As for the supposed love of those who have same-sex attractions, we must be absolutely clear what it is.To accommodate such pathology in any way reinforces the delusion of the same-sex attracted individual and may ultimately push them farther away from God and deeper into their lusts. The Christian authentically living the Gospel can never be so callous.
One review of this book:
I think it fair to say that it represents a distinctly minority view. There is no evidence that what he says is true, and a lot against. It does, however, provide a pseudo-scientific veneer for pre-determined conclusions based on religious belief. For this reason, amidst the thousands of books on the subject (which contradict his eccentric conjectures) it is often quoted - because there’s no others quite like it.
Whether this is a minority view or not is irrelevant. All that is relevant is whether or not this view is the truth. We could argue those merits in another thread, since in this one, therapy for those with same-sex attraction is off-topic.
Not true.
I had this and my partner was ejected repeatedly from the hospital.Not true.
The two people can go to a lawyer and legally designate each other as legal guardians and then no one can stop them from visiting each other.
How do I know? One of my clients are a homosexual couple who have done just that.
Therefore, it is a moot subject
Then what the hospital did was illegal as well as inhumane.
There was none to be had. It was thrown out at the start.
Sorry to hear that. Based on your accounting of events, the behavior of the hospital staff was repugnant.
In what way? I simply stated a fact.
And do a million other things, all of which are unrelated to the fact that they sodomise.
True, but the question was, if it’s family only, is a homosexual so-called “partner” a family member? Obviously not.
I cannot see myself or anyone here turning his back on someone because he suffers from same-sex attraction disorder; as you imply we have done.
Do you really think Jesus would say, “if you repeatedly sodomise somebody, that makes you a family member”?
What, you think that what lesbians do isn’t sodomy??
I didn’t say “sodomising a family member makes you a non-family member”.
For stating a simpe and obvious fact??
Where did I deny this?
I don’t believe you can prove this assertion, which in any case is totally irrelevant.
My partner and I do not have any sort of sex. What is sodomy, without sex? Is hugging or kissing my partner sodomy then?
Actually it’s far more common for the so-called “lover/s” of the homosexual dying of AIDs or other STIs to completely abandon him and leave the horrendous job of caring for him through his last few agonising months/years to his long-rejected parents.
If you want to try to unilaterally redefine the dictionary definitions of words like “sodomy” and “partner”, don’t blame me for your actions.
If I have expressed hatred for any person, point it out.
No He didn’t. In fact He repeatedly told us to judge, and to make sure that we judge wisely.
Exact,ly and hospitals, and everybody else, make such judgments all the time. As they should and as Jesus taught.
Yes we all have the freedom to sin. But if we endorse another’s sin, we are commiting a sin ourselves. God doesn’t force us to do anything, but He warns us most vehemently that what we decide to do will most definitely have consequences.God doesn’t try to change us by forcing us to do anything, we all have freedom of choice and we should treat each other the same way.
