The black robes will do whatever their political handlers tell them to do.
A senate of the states could not and never did consent to the appointment of blackrobes hostile to self-government and the 10A.
The answer: A VERY sharp turn to the LEFT.. and one that most of the American public deep-down do not subscribe to spiritually.
My point: If the SUPREME COURT rules in FAVOR of gay marriage then the TRADITIONAL, long standing MODEL will be collapsed. This will in turn means that the door is then open possibly to Polygamous unions with MANY participants.
Some even feel that the pedophiles will attempt to claim some type of territorial validity using such a Supreme Court decision favoring gay marriage.
America has a 239 year old marriage model, that's been working just fine, but is about to be DESTROYED by a "politically correct" minded Supreme Court.
Stand by for yet another TURD dropped into the punchbowl.
Seems like the major problem is the meaning of “marriage”. Don’t “civil unions” already exist in which gay couples can have the same legal rights as a truly married couple?
Am I wrong? Are there legal rights available to “marriages” that aren’t available to “civil unions”?
I don’t closely follow this issue because only a small percentage of “marriages” are going to be homosexual. Heterosexual inclinations are still alive and well!
Your contempt for the great Hymns of ardent Christians of the past is well noted.
Yeah, church should be all fun and games.
Don't count on it.
I’m not a churchgoer but if I want entertainment then I’ll go to a concert or a ball game. Liberal “churches” really aren’t.
Exactly.
In other words, this woman has no regard for the Word of God.
On the contrary, she bases her trust in the interpretation of 21 y/o preacher Matthew Vines who argues that the Bible does not, in fact, condemn all same-sex relationships. He has launched The Reformation Project, a nationwide network of pro-gay evangelicals committed to ending their church’s longstanding hostility toward gay people.
According to the link I posted: "Even some of the most prominent evangelicals—megachurch pastors, seminary professors and bestselling authors—have publicly announced their support for gay marriage in recent months. "
With no single authority, other than the Bible, this is what happens when anyone can interpret scripture. Lacking one spokesperson for the Evangelical Church, members split and divide according to whichever pastor has grabbed their ear.
Oh, you want a single authority? Like Pope "who am I to judge" Francis?
This is my worry. That this decision will shove SS marriage down the throats of all Amerricans the way abortion has been. And, that 40-50 years from now, we are still going to be arguing about this and at each other's throats. I am hoping that the Court has learned something, and will say it is up to the States to decide their marriage laws.
As for being recognized by other States; if the other State does not recognize SS marriage, then perhaps you and your "partner" should move to one that does.
Yeah, church should be all fun and games.
Just remember, Christ held those who blindly clung to tradition (Scribes and Pharisees) in the highest contempt.
When it comes to Gay "Marriage" I am mostly hacked off at the cheapening of the sacrament of marriage. Image if people said...
"Yeah, I ate a huge communion at the Casino Buffet the other day."
or
"Went to the aquatic center yesterday before work and did ten laps of baptism."
Just like eating doesn't make it communion, and getting wet doesn't make it baptism, two people pledging to love each other doesn't make it Marriage.
This gay marriage movement has nothing to do with marriage; it is all about power. Gay marriage is an activist tool. They attempt to shame everybody into shutting up, especially christians and others who oppose their lifestyle. And they do this by punishing them. Take, for example, the baker who refused to bake a cake for a gay wedding. Not only have they totally destroyed the family's business through the imposition of heavy fines, they have now taken down a "GoFund" group attempting to raise funds in support of the bakers. I would encourage you to read the following:
10 Reasons Why Homosexual “Marriage” is Harmful and Must be Opposed
I think it will do damage to society.
When marriage becomes a gay parade, heterosexual men will lose all respect for it. This will result in a loss of respect for women. Without respect for women, there is no respect for family and children. They go hand in hand.
It is amazing that we have a pope who is encouraging the demise of his own church.
“it is all about power.”
Hmmm. Hadn’t thought of that, but don’t you think that some gay couples feel so deeply about their relationship that they think it’s not less than a heterosexual marriage. All I’m saying here is that they aren’t in it just for the power.
The article you gave the link to, “10 Reasons Why Homosexual “Marriage” is Harmful and Must be Opposed” should be a must-read for less-enlightened people like me.
I believe that homosexual marriage is harmful to society. I believe that acting out homosexual thoughts is not good for society. Certainly it doesn’t lead to a good life for many of its participants and those who care about them.
??? Can you provide some citation to support that statement? The Catholic Church is pro-life and pro-traditional marriage.
He is supporting a communist regime in Cuba.
Communism snuffs out the catholic church when it can.
