If you are against gay marriage, you are a bad Christian.

it clearly says in the last 3 books of the pentateuch that marriage is between a man and a woman

Really? Last I checked I swore a certain Deity was involved as well...

Okay ladies and germs, this thread is a rebirth of the "Being against gay marriage makes you a bad Christian" thread. This is also my supported opinion.

If you are Christian and opposing gay marriage, you are:

• violating the Law of Agape (specifically, Matthew 22:39, Mark 12:31, Matthew 19:19, Romans 13:9), which is at the core of Yeshua's teachings.
  
• judging your fellow man, which is warned against in the bible (Matthew 7:1-2, Luke 6:37).
  
• raping the bible, as homosexuality is not a sin. Don't worry, we'll get to this in great detail, I'm sure. Don't even bother posting "NO UR WRONG" unless you're prepared to post verses along with your assertions.
  
• arguing against equal rights for a people who are hardly different from the norm and who never offended you.
  

You may also be under the misconceptions that marriage is a purely Christian term, or that Christian marriage is a church affair. Both are false, as marriage is a legal term, and does not mean "Christian partnership" or any other such nonsense, and marriage in the biblical sense consists of two people getting to know one another in the biblical sense, and sticking around to spend the rest of their lives with one another afterward.

There was not even a Greek or Hebrew word for homosexuality in biblical times, and just because it is used in popular mistranslations does not make it an actual part of the bible. Every word taken to mean "homosexuality" has either been twisted or misconstrued in a way that cannot reasonably be considered to be definitive.

Additionally, before you start citing Leviticus, the Mosaic Law is moot according to Yeshua. If Christianity is in any way correct, the Old Law no longer applies, and certainly not to non-Jews. Were your ancestors enslaved in Egypt? Did they wander in the desert? Did they do dumb things with a golden idol? Because if not, there isn't even the beginning of a case for the continuity of Mosaic Law.

Please observe the forum rules and subforum rules at all times.

I'm a bad Christian, but a good Satanist :-O

I'm against Gay Marriage and I'm all for protecting the sanctity of marriage.
As long as I have the right to vote, my vote will always be "NO"!

He's just a troll.

Who are you to judge who is a good and who is a bad Christian? God is the judge, you are a human just like the rest of us. I don't see anywhere in the bible where it says that Christians can judge eachother.

This is why people call us hypocrites. Some of us procede to judge when we know it is not our place. I oppose gay marriage because I oppose homosexuality. I don't have anything against them, I just don't believe that what they do is right in any way.

God created us a certain way, like a puzzle. And I think we're trying desperatley to change his creation. Whatever we can do, we do it. Why was the reproduction system created so that no man can have a child with another man? Or a woman with another woman? Because God didn't intend for humanity to be attracted to the same sex. He intended man to be with woman, and that's the end of it. There's proof everywhere that homosexuality is just completely against nature and God.

It even says in the bible. Look, read it. The woman was created for the man, and the man was created for the woman. No twists, just that. It says IN THE BIBLE that homosexuality is wrong. God just doesn't like it.

So I suggest you all read the bible again and look around you at his Creation. Seriously, it's ALL evidence.

And Marokia, please tell me that you don't believe that he is intelligent and the rest of us are not. Because we believe differently than you do, we are stupid, and because he believes the same, he's intelligent? Wrong. This thread is about what you believe, it's not mathematics. You can't be stupid when it comes to religion. In fact, I think it's impossible to be stupid at all.

Just because you didn't know something doesn't mean you're stupid. My sister is in fourth grade and she's far from stupid. So please stop going around and calling the people who agree with you intelligent and the people who disagree with you dumb. It's a not-very-intelligent thing to say.

And no, that wasn't calling you stupid.

Tell me, what's it like to fail on so very many levels to such an extreme degree? Because truly, I'm astounded.
Go back and actually read the first page. You clearly didn't or else you wouldn't have posted this blatant testament to your personal ignorance.
