TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written: Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE". And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Our modern view of marriage — one that has generally predominated in Western societies over the past 200 years — is the outlier. Historically, marriage has been about finding good in-laws and securing economic advantage. And marrying for love is a thoroughly modern invention ...

But it has always been between a man and a woman.

The article is claptrap.

Are you saying that we should kill homosexuals?

I guess all those Greek plays were made up.

The same for Anthony and Cleopatra!

Economics and family connections have always played a role in marriage.

And it still does to this day.

Romeo and Juliet would be a boring without the passion...

The other thing that is true is that Government involvement in marriage is a rather recent event also in the last 150 to 200 years.

Same-sex marriage is an issue like abortion.

If the Supreme Court imposes an unconstitutional dictate, the issue will remain an unresolved dispute until the dictate is overturned.

History tells us that dictators and their programs do not last forever.

If we OBEYED GOD, we would NOT have this SATANIC FILTH bothering us.

Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph. There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

It’s tempting in the face of the madding hordes to want to bend the scriptures to do what you want to do. As it is, all the referenced scripture does is to refer to a legacy provision in Mosaic law. The Mosaic law must be taken as unitary... all or nothing. No cherry picking allowed. It also cracks down on several other forms of adultery with similar provisions. Not to mention Sabbath breaking (and if the Mosaic law is unitary, you cannot shake off a liberal Sabbath by adopting Mosaic law, though I know you have tried). I thought we respected God enough not to try that kind of stunt. Guess not!

We are not left with anarchy without the Mosaic law applying. We are left with the older Noahide law (everyone who is Noah’s descendant meaning all of us). Which forbade adultery, that includes of course sodomy. But under a different penalty scheme, which imposed bloodshed for bloodshed but not for other wrongs.

If you want God’s power you must first not play games with His scriptures. That’s all there is to it.

” History tells us that dictators and their programs do not last forever.”

Like the abortion law? They might just BE forever. At least long enough to destroy our society.

Christians say God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman.
