Re: Gay marriages
Andy,<br /><br />This is what I tried explaining to Chads (God Bless you Chads
) There are KKK members who claim to know the bible and love God, therefore use God and the bible to justify thier hatred. Any one who knows the Word knows that the Jews are the apple of Gods eye, and God blesses those who bless the jews and curses those who curse the Jews. I'm using this as an analogy ok? Now lets switch to subject of gays. God didn't destroy Soddam and Gammorah (sp?) because the inhabitants were gay; he destroyed them because they raised up thier sin flew it in the face of God. Disregarding what God said about these acts being acts of sin, they were unrepentant and delighted themselves in sin rather than in God (God blesses those who delight themselves in Him) This is the problem with Gays co-opting the sanctity of union of marriage, which is a vow to God, not the person you're marrying. (IE "We are gathered here befoe God.") The same with Gay bishops and priests. If you were a drug addicted murderer who went to prison, got straight and repented for your sins and them wished to lead a congregation in teaching God's word, that is one thing. But to be unrepentant in ones sin, or to say that God was behind the times, wrong and unenlightened when he said this behavior was sinful, and in sodoing be in process of highjacking a segment of Christianity, that is where Christians who know and try to live by the Word are going react, hopefully in a Christian manner. <br /><br />It is not about hating gays. I have gay friends. I used to live with gays in house in which I rented a room. I am close to many gays and have ministered to them all. I love them as my fellow brothers and sisters; but just as I won't force my Christian beliefs on them, I won't have them forceing their lifestyle on me, my family, or my Savior's church.<br /><br />just my .02
