"A homosexual couple has taken the Swedish tax authority (Skatteverket) to court for registering their marriage in Canada as a partnership.

Lars Gårdfeldt and Lars Arnell, who are both priests in the Swedish church, allege discrimination.

"The tax authorities can make an exception for a marriage where one party is under-age but not for homosexuals," said Lars Gårdfeldt to Svenska Dagbladet.

Skatteverket confirms that it does make exceptions to Swedish law with regard to under-age couples legally married overseas. But only for marriages involving a man and woman."

Legality aside for a second (honestly, they probably have a case given Sweden's legal structure):

Lars Gårdfeldt and Lars Arnell, who are both priests in the Swedish church, allege discrimination.

Monsters of iniquity.

Romans 1:25-27 tells us that same-sex sexual relationships are a consequence of idolatry. In other words, such relationships are a consequence of disobeying the 1ST COMMANDMENT, a major aspect of the GREATEST COMMANDMENT, to love the jealous God with all your being.

Homosexuals need to keep in mind, however, that the good news of the gospel is not about how God despises same-sex sexual relationships. In fact, 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 indicates that certain members of that church had been slaves to such relationships but had been cleansed in Jesus' name. So these former homosexuals had evidently repented and accepted God's grace to straighten their lives out.

Maybe not ~ the Swedish church is simply another government agency. Kind of like if Commerce Department were a religion and you had to attend services every now and then.

People who don't go for that are mostly independent Pentecostals or Free Church or into that Olde Tyme Religion "sun worship", preferably on the Mediterranean in Winter.

The fact that a couple of state church guys are gay should be no surprise. In the end this happens to all the state sponsored religions ~ the gays move in, take over, create ever more elaborate and meaningless ceremonies, and next thing you know they're conducting human sacrifice.

Sad, but true.
