Moscow, July 14, Interfax - The Synod of Bishops of the Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia criticizes the decision of the USA Supreme Court to legalize the homosexual 'marriages.'
"We deeply regret that the United States Supreme Court has taken a decision which, in so definitively spurning the revealed will of God, opens the peoples of this land to an increase of suffering and sorrow, and a further decrease of moral stability," the ROCOR Synod says in its message posted in its official website.
It is stressed that "marriage has been from creation, is now and will always be a union of a man and a woman, and the Church shall recognize and bless nothing else in the stead of this sacred union that has been established by God Himself".
"That which societies from time immemorial have honored - the strong place of the traditional family, the need for children to be reared in the embrace of a father and a mother - has been dismissed through an act of overstepped judicial authority, and we lament the profound trials this act will inevitably bring, since the departure from God's Will always results in suffering," the statement reads.
Late in June, the USA Supreme Court declared that homosexual couples have a constitutional right to register their 'marriages' in any state of the country. Thus, the ban on same-sex marriages that had earlier existed in 14 states of the country was abolished. Massachusetts was the first state that permitted people of the same sex to register marriages eleven years ago.
Are there any other animals who are homosexual? Some are asexual and multiply, but for the most part, are there any mammals who are homosexual? How does human kind reproduce otherwise?
It's an old, old, old story. But people never learn.
Homosexuality is also nothing new, but decadent Western Civilization thinks it has discovered something new. It hasn't.
If your question persists and makes it to the mainstream, be confident someone will answer it with examples of several animals that are homosexual. They will use one or more studies to prove their point.
However, if anyone bothers to check out their studies, they will be bogus.
Nevertheless, the results of the bogus studies will be repeated over and over until they are accepted fact.
It’s how the left works. It’s how many people actually believe GloBull Warming is a fact and man made.
The only way, sad to say, to understand homosexuality is to look at as a mental disorder. I’m not talking about people who swing both ways, I’m talking about the full blown addiction of preferring that form of sexuality over heterosexual. TWin study research supports this. It had it’s own ICD-9 code for years and years.
For the most part these are tormented, lonely people, that need help. Anyone, however, who promotes the debate is shot down quickly.
On a lesser note, Bruce Jenner is a phony and only an attention seeking hound dog. Had he undergone organ surgery, then I’d say he’s mentally ill, but what he’s doing is for pure publicity and $. Makes me sick.
Any apprentice plumber can tell you that good things do not happen when you connect two discharge pipes.
i am surprised at how fat the moral standards of everyone has rotted, even if just to the “who cares” degree. So what if you trot your son off to the mountains to spend the night in a tent with a homosexual. Who cares if garbage is all over our culture and you can’t escape it. Who cares what your kids are taught in school or what they are exposed to in entertainment media.
My warning to Russia is this: Don’t be so sure it can’t happen to you. If your culture rots into a porn consuming cesspit then it is only a matter of time until they also take this revolting step. I hope you do better than we have done.
“It had it’s own ICD-9 code for years and years.”
I find this both interesting and contradictory to current our government/cultural path:

Thanks for the info.
Russia remembers what happened to them.
We are going down the path the old USSR trod,but only faster.
“The general political direction of the [Western political] elite bears, without doubt, an anti-Christian and anti-religious character. We have been through an epoch of atheism, and we know what it is to live without God. We want to shout to the whole world, ‘Stop!’”
-Kyril Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia
Homosexuals are out of whack but since there are so many people who are promoting it just because of their hatred toward God that we have no idea to the actual number.
It is not one bit different from the man made climate change blow hards, it is not about homosexuality or climate change it is about faith in the creator.
The world is at enmity with God, that is why it says in 1 John 2
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
Gods people are in the world but they are not of the world and they have no control.
The supreme court decision shows very plainly that Christians are in the minority here in America.
Many clergymen are aware of this which is their reason for standing in the middle, cowards or not they know which side their bread is buttered on, ( these preachers for hire ).
The Russians have took a public stance on the laws of God, so Satan who has control of the majority of the people will try to make them wish they had not took that position.
We better not look for America or Russia to save us, Paul took his case to Rome in hopes of being saved from the Jewish hierarchy but he was killed by the Romans.
1 Corinthians 15
19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.
Luke 21
28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
I believe the above message is for all generations.
Look for America to become a new Christian missionary field.
Is this the Russian Orthodox church that was tolerated by the Soviet authorities and infiltrated by the KGB, or the one that never compromised with the Communists during the Soviet era?

You can read where hundreds of thousands of Russian orthodox Christians were killed by the communist government but at the same time many of them are accused of knuckling down to the communist government.
While one Baptist Church as an example here in America is all for what is happening with the same sex marriage issue an other one is all against it, depends on the Church local leaders.
One thing sure, even if the devil him self calls sodomite marriage an abomination it is still an abomination.
Well said!
