If you want to argue that Paul is talking about that sixteen year old Catholic and the the middle aged Catholic then please make your case as to why he would say such things only about homosexuals alone and not about hetero sodomists, or rapists, axe murderers, drug dealers or anyone else who is actually palpably evil.

Sorry, you have not made a case that sodomy is not shameful and evil when all of Scripture cries out against it, just as it cries out against murder and lying and theft and adultery, etc.

What’s with the 16 year old Catholic girl sitting next to me in Church you keep referring to? :confused:

If she’s lesbian, she has a shameful lust. I feel sorry for her as I would feel sorry for anyone lost in sin. I certainly would not say God had forced her to commit sodomy, which is what you seem to be saying, and have not denied saying. If you want to deny saying that God forces us to commit sodomy, just say it. My ears are open. Are your eyes open? Can you read my words, or do you just like to read past them to keep this farce going?

Read the Bible, but I think you are neither “free nor competent” to make it say what it does not say. But then that is the fundamental error of all Protestants who think they know better than all the other Protestants (which is why they all disagree with each other and break away from each other to start a new church every chance they get).

You’ve made no case whatsoever for your strange interpretation of Paul, I doubt you can or you wouldn’t need to sink yet again to your sectarian straw-man.

I’m out of here, next time we meet hopefully you’ll be more rational and better behaved than on this thread. 👍
 
The sole purpose of marriage is based on the Biblical commandment that when a man leaves his mother and father to be with a woman, he is to marry that woman and love her and cherish her until death parts them. Nowhere in the Bible does it say that a man shall leave his mother and father to be with another man and to marry that man until death parts them. This is still true today in most parts of the world.

The US constitution was based on the commandments of the Bible. Our forefathers were Christians who loved and believed in God, and the Truth of the Bible. Keeping the Church from ruling the government was their intention, but keeping God’s commandments was the basis of the laws of our land.

Civil liberty and civil law are based upon our right to be free. That does not mean that we can go around changing God’s laws to fit our needs and desires. There is only one purpose of marriage, and that is to solidify the sanctity of love between a (1) man and a (1) woman.

The US is not much different regarding this matter than most other countries in the world, past and present. I will ALWAYS vote to keep the sanctity of marriage intact!

That doesn’t seem true. Especially considering that the enforcement of first three commandments as they are numbered in Catholicism (or first four for protestants) are considered unconstitutional. There were the Blue Laws that seemed to be motivated by the ten commandments, but most of those are gone now, either voted away or revoked as unconstitutional.

(I’f I’m wrong here I’d appreciate being corrected and shown the mapping between the ten commandments and the Constitution).
