An unnatural act can never be the basis of holy matrimony.

I don't know what point you were trying to make in Post #5. It does not matter what the majority 'wants' as their flavor of the month.

Let God be true, and every man a liar.

The whims of the world's majority does not matter as long as we understand that God is in charge and we serve Him with all our hearts.

If the Republican party want to rule the Bedroom then Obamas will rule the country.

ROTFLMAO!!!!

Where you been? The depraved, diseased, and disorder came out of the closet long ago -they are not in their bedrooms -they are in the streets -they want you to subsidize their sickness pay for the treatment of their diseases fund their sex change operations teach people that sickness is normal and self destructive choices are healthy. They want you to subsidize their sex partners and they want to donate their blood to YOU by force.

They left their bedrooms long ago and they are now imposed upon our schools working on imposing themselves upon churches and knocking on your front door with big daddy government backing them.

Get a clue.

If people practice homosexuality in private, I pray for them. I pray they repent, and I pray they ask for forgiveness and strength as well as guidance. I do not accept what they do as ‘moral’ because it isn’t, just like drug addiction.
Now, when they start trying to teach it to kids across the country, and flaunt it in the streets, then I have a problem.

You have outlined my opinions on this matter, as well.

I am just saying that if you want the Rats to run the ship, hold on to your past attitudes.

Are the attitudes wrong? NO!

Are your beliefs right, YES!

In my humble opinion, we need to fight them at their game.
Say what ever it takes to get elected and then turn.

Honesty is the conservatives biggest liability.

We may only have one more shot. If 2014 is a wash for Rats, then all is lost.

Then I will saying where is my phone.

Hah! Ok, I get it - and thanks for the explanation.
Sure, I understand the logic, but you have to remember that Nations and Empires come and go, but eternity is for ever. The ends do not justify the means.

Thessalonians 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

I like your approach...praying for ourselves and others is always the best and should be the first action!

Totally agreed with everything you said...

Easter blessings to you!

Easter blessings to you, my friend. With less and less people praying today in our godless society, He will hear your words all the more loudly.

You mean after we win that magical election, we won't need to win others?

How the heck have you escaped detection for so many years?

They need to keep their “bedroom” antics off the streets, and out of MY FACE and MY CHILDREN’S schools!!

Well here’s something for you to consider…..I don’t expect folks to all agree with me but this is what I believe. People will define ‘marriage’ in all sorts of strange ways but the reality is there is only one thing unique about it. In fact, here is a definition of marriage that draws a number of scriptural concepts together…. “Marriage is the institution created by God that allows men and women the means to experience the sexual characteristics that are innate to their humanity in the only environment that He approves of.” Marriage doesn’t start when the wedding ceremony is over and the documents are signed…. Marriage starts with the act of sex between the man and the woman and fact, sex is the only defining aspect about the relationship that sets it apart from all others. Thus your statement is flawed….. there really is no such thing as sex before marriage since a marriage starts simultaneously with sex. Here’s the implication of this…. a single person may go out for the night and have sex with a person they met. The individuals may not even treat the encounter with very much seriousness…. but in God’s eyes, they just married each other.

“No, Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed b/c the people were very inhospitable to outsiders; a grave faux pas back in those days.”

As I’m sure you are aware, this is a popular misinterpretation of Scripture amongst sodomites, but the New Testament also debunks that myth:

Jude 7 : “As Sodom and Gomorrha, and the neighbouring cities, in like manner having given themselves over to fornication, and going after other flesh, were made an example, suffering the punishment of eternal fire.”

The Bible is clear that it was their perverse desires which led to their destruction - it had nothing to do with “hospitality”

The word that gets translated to fornication in the Bible is the Greek word “porneia” which means ANY sex that isn’t between a married man and wife.

The other thing about people who pose their sin state as “final and deal with it” or like this person who says, “I’m a gay-Christian” completely miss the point where Jesus forgives us our sins when we face the fact that they are wrong, but then tells us to “go and sin no more.” Not even trying to repent or turn away from sin is wrong and leads to more problems.

Marriage starts with the act of sex between the man and the woman

Now you're talking about bigamy and polygamy as well. How many marriages can an adulterer have? Are you suggesting that God approves of that?
