so...for what is worth...Love the sinner and hate the sin. God does. IF He didn't -- NONE of us would be here because we are all fallen.
'nuf said.
Unfortunately, liberals would turn what you have said into a reason for government to fund the homosexual lifestyle in the name of compassion.
Well, as a Rudy Rooter myself, I would say that Romney, as a practical matter (not rhetorically) governed much further to the left than Hizzoner.
For example, I can't imagine Mitt campaigning to expel pornography from residential neighborhoods, or taking away public funding for blasphemous art, as Rudy did.
Certainly not your intent ~ your post was very clear.
Liberals would twist your sincerity in attempt to sell false compassion.
All the while claiming we should be funding homosexual activism!
Romney never even thought about standing up to the court.
You hit it right on the head.
Normalizing homosexuality is the goal of the left, and anyone not buying it is labeled ‘hateful’ and abnormal!
“Love the sinner and hate the sin.”
Absolutely!
I know three gay people, one I love, one I like, and one I don’t care for, just like I would if they were heterosexual.
But I still don’t support special rights for gays.
True, certainly, but he had to go back to 1857(!) to find the last time anyone stood up to a court decision. He makes it sound as if this was the first decision ever in which a court overstepped its bounds.

Of course the FRiberals think it should be.
“FRiberals” ~ how apt “;^)
I wasn’t sure what to call them, so I posted a thread about it a few months ago.

You Brian Camenker folks aka MassResistance are into overkill.
I had enough of it, dealing with EV and others like him who are beyond being rational, your obession is unreasonable.
No one is as bad as your group tried to make them out to be!
I will be so glad when this election is over so folks can get back to normal.
I rather follow the Lord commandments and exercise his faith and talks on love!
I want to leave the door ajar so any child of God who wants to repent and has faith that the atonement of God can heal and enable one to know they can return home to his Lord can.
It seems you can not see this, but you way is turning his fallen children away!

14. 2 Jn. 1: 5
5 And now I beseech thee, lady, not as though I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that which we had from the beginning, that we love one another.
What you said is so true, there is enough condamnation going on in the world, and it because of this very attitude of some who take it upon themselves to do the thinking for the Lord, which that kind of behavior has chased more folks over into the Dems Liberal camp.
Instead of taking upon ourselves the name of the Jesus Christ and doing his will.
When it was said “Thy will be done” they are talking about the Lord’s will being done, not man!
Many of you need to read the beatitudes again!
People in Massachusetts have been saying this for a long time. And I’ve been pointing it out, as well.
The Mass. Supreme Court directed the legislature to pass laws legalizing homosexual marriage. The legislature refused to do this. Governor Romney ordered all the justices of the peace in Mass. to perform and legalize homosexual marriage, or he would fire them.
HE DID NOT HAVE TO DO THIS. I don’t think he is a closet gay, or anything like that. But I do think he bends with the wind, and all the media were after him to do this.
Probably gay marriage is not actually legal in Massachusetts even now, because neither the courts nor the governor have the power to make a law like this. But it’s a fait accompli, a gay-liberal coup. A lot of gay couples have gotten married. And Romney is the idiot responsible.
There is a separation of duties between Church and State.
Government should stick to it duty to defend the nation and keep the nation solven, maintain the infrastructure, and order in the land.
The mission of the Church is to feed the soul and the poor and comfort the sick and council the fallen in how to recover.
Some of you folks are so consumed with MR are you aware that Spain is the Landlord of our infrastructure!

But it seems some sign away our sovereignty
