Tens of thousands of Christians filled several blocks in Manhattan Sunday during a protest against the legalization of gay marriage in New York.

The mostly Latino crowd, which included Democratic State Senator Ruben Diaz, Sr. of the Bronx, who is an evangelical minister, stretched from 35th to 40th Street on 3rd Avenue in New York City.

Protesters rallied outside the NYC office of Gov. David A. Paterson, who has been pushing passage of the Marriage Equality Act. As they sang and waved Bibles in the air, demonstrators spoke about the need to retain the traditional definition of marriage, according to WNYC New York Public Radio.

“God instituted marriage between man and woman to the fabric of our society,” said the Rev. Daniel Delgado of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference, according to Christian Broadcasting Network News.

Organizers say hundreds of churches from Maine to New Jersey from various denominations participated in the event.

Already, the gay marriage bill has easily passed the New York state assembly and now is waiting the vote from the state senate. Thirty-two votes from the state senate are needed for gay marriage to become legal in New York. There are 32 Democrats in the state senate. However, several, including pentecostal pastor Diaz, have stated they will vote against the same-sex marriage bill.

Diaz says there are another six Democrats in the state senate who will not support the bill, according to CBN.

On Sunday afternoon, pro-gay marriage demonstrators also held a separate rally in Manhattan to thank Gov. Paterson for his effort on passing the bill. The pro-gay marriage event was much smaller, but featured celebrities and prominent New York politicians, reported WNYC New York Public radio.

If the bill passes, New York will be the sixth state to legalize gay marriage, joining Maine, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa and Vermont.

Very well said. They would want to get rid of us and the military. But they are so short sighted that they can't see the effects of such actions. I think they'd much rather face Christians who will only protect traditional marriage, rather than Muslim extremists who would kill them without a second's hesitation. If homosexuals feel we treat them bad, they do need to go live in Iran.

johnzon, it appears you have spoken totally out of turn on your assumption with regards to "religious" people only being concerned about homosexual issues, if it were not for "religious" people there would be far more hunger and homelessness in our world, plus when you consider crisis pregnancy centers and Christian group homes, adoption agencies, and foster care agencies, we "religious" people are truly making a positive difference in the lives of people and the world we live in. Plus, although many don't agree with this therapy we are also helping those who are struggling with same-sex gender issues. So it appears we are somewhat good at multi-tasking. And finally our most important task of all joining God in fulfilling His Great Commission in reachin a lost world with the saving message of Christ!!

You have said...
"The Bible doesn't talk about homosexuality as we know it today just as it doesn't talk about a lot of things we know today."

You have continually denied that the Bible talks about Homosexuality at all. Now you say that the Bible doesn't talk about homsexuality as we know it today.

Please explain how the Bible addressed Homosexuality in the past. What was it then that it isn't now?

And, by the way, you still have not answered my question about being offended. Do you still deny that the Bible talks about this as well?

You have commented....
"If "Bible" and/or "my God" are in your reason to deny the right of Union to all you are a bigot. I can not see it any other way."

Your use of the word "bigot" is completely out of place. You cannot see it any other way because you have no concern for the things of God, only for the things of men.

Otherwise you would clearly understand that God has given marriage to us for two primary reasons.

One is to show us the nature of the Godhead, and the other is for the creation of souls for God's Kingdom.

u4, so where do you draw the line or do you support the idea of relativism, what ever is good for you as long as it doesn't bother others is fine, what's wrong for you may not be wrong for others, the ends justifies the means, and/or if it feels good do it? The reality is that God's Word shows us how to become a child of God and lead lives that are pleasing to Him and to do that not only are there things we need to be doing, saying, and thinking to live effectively for God there are also those things that we don't need to be doing, thinking, or saying as well. But God doesn't arbitrarily decide what He would have us do or not do, He has a purpose for all of them and granted at times we may not totally understand His purpose, but He does and we simply need to trust Him to know what He is doing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That is somewhat true. If you read the Bible, you'll see that it wasn't a civil contract. As a matter of fact, at one point people had to go to Moses to get a divorce. Somewhere along the way, government infiltrated religion and screwed things up.

Flagged as inappropriate. show SETTLEMENT: Marriage is a civil contract. Proof of this is that when you want to dissolve a marriage, you don't go to CHURCH to get a divorce. You go to CIVIL court to dissolve the union and the Church has no SAY. The problem is that clergy are allowed to administer the civil contract of marriage. This has blurred the separation between Church and State. This allows religious prejudices to enter into saying what a marriage is. Therefore end CIVIL MARRIAGE, it's just a church ceremony like a Baptism, no civil meaning. Go to a Domestic Unit License and leave the church to perform wherever ritual they like to and with whomever. hide

"No, I still contend that to present scripture as the rational for a CIVIL, SECULAR society to deny rights and benefits to a large group of citizens is a sad misuse of your belief system."

My belief system is simple:

Mat 22:37-40 "And He said to him, 'YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.' This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

I know that you don't have a common denominator to base an understanding on but... true Christianity is a relationship. False Christianity is a religion. I have a relationship with my wife...thus I desire to please her and am concerned with what displeases her. That is what happens in a loving relationship. Christ died in order to restore a loving relationship between man and God. Within that loving relationship, I have a desire to please Him and am concerned with what displeases Him.

As a Christian with a relationship with Jesus, I understand that this is His world and not ours. When I lived at home with my parents I followed their rules (well, for the most part) and they had the right and responsibility to punish me when I didn't. Living in the world that belongs to God is no different.

It is the gays who are imposing their anti-Christ desires on the world that is the problem here. Then they blameshift their intollerance and hatred onto the Christians. Very sick indeed.

But behind the scene, in the political sphere, the Christian faith was elevated as a tool of CONTROL. And I see it's still workin' just fine.

"In America, you need a reason other than 4th century interpretations of Bronze Age myths to make law for all citizens."

Apparently you are not familiar with our system of government here in America. Constitutional ammendments are made by majority rule. Elected individuals serve at the will of the people to represent the majority. They can make law for any or no reason.

"40% of births are OUT OF WEDLOCK - what the heck does same-sex marriage have to do with that?"

It's a variation on the theme of sexual immorality. God's design was for one man and one woman to make children. They are to form a family as such. It is man's desire to be free from God's design that has caused so many heartaches.

Things break when you don't follow the instructions....

At a bare minimum 20% of the nation's residents do NOT ascribe to the same belief system as the resistors of uni-sex unions recognition by CIVIL law.. How can you possibly suggest that imposing your values on another in this manner, on this subject, in a secular world, be anything but bigotry? Do you not see how you are the same as Afghan villagers that stone women to death for talking to men? 2. I favor the end to MARRIAGE for all. Replace the state-sanctioned relationship with a CIVIL UNIT license or something the bestows all the privileges and benefits that the society uses to encourage this joining together but has NO Sacred meaning,... "we join together this couple in CIVIL UNION under the authority of the State of Whatever" - the Marriage in the eye's of your Supreme Being is a matter for your faith's judgment and a separate optional ceremony as it is in Europe. Your can have your own rules to join your club. You would have to accept that there might be a faith unit that declines to recognize "opposite marriage" too. 3. For the children? 40% of births are OUT OF WEDLOCK - what the heck does same-sex marriage have to do with that? I accept your right to be repulsed and offended, but that's not enough to make laws to restrict citizen's right to the Pursuit of Happiness. hide

(posted on another thread--trying to catch Mickey)

"Nope and the Bible never calls it sin."

The Bible never says it's sin to kill gay people. Never in the Bible will you find it written "killing gay people is sin". Does that mean it's OK? Does that mean it's not murder? Does that mean it's not sin? Your arguement to justify homosexuality can be used to justify the murder of any gay person. This is why I have such an issue with your arguement. It is short sited and not well thought out. Your position is that unless the Bible specifically uses the phrase that "(name of action) is sin" that it is OK to do.

The Bible never said "slavery is wrong". It does say:

1Ti 1:10 "whoremongers, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that to sound doctrine is adverse,"

the word men-stealers is andrapodistes which means "one who unjustly reduces free men to slavery". Even still, those who suppported slavery in our country said they were "justly" reduced. The pro-slave agenda used the Bible the same way the pro-gay agenda does. It's still sin.

You don't expect the Bible to tell you anything. You would just ignore it anyway.

"The problem is that you expect the Bible to spend all it's time telling gays in every way possible that gay is not OK."

I don't expect the Bible to tell gays or heterosexuals anything. YOU DO. Constantly you or someone else wants a verse talking about gays. The Bible doesn't talk about homosexuality as we know it today just as it doesn't talk about a lot of things we know today.

"God is our Father. As a parent, I tell my children and I expect them to remember and obey."

Most parents do the same thing. However, many parents tell their children wrong things and expect them to obey. I believe Jerry Springer invites them to his show. Are you hoping to be on Jerry Springer show soon?

"How many times DOES God have to say it for it to be wrong?"

God doesn't have to say anything about it which He doesn't. YOU constantly want God to say what He just doesn't. When He doesn't say what you like, you just make it up.

NO it doesn't. The Old and New Testament talk about specific sex acts that are unclean or against the religious practice of the specific time. It never says ONE word against homosexuality. Surely you should know that having sex with someone you aren't attracted to doesn't change your orientation regardless of the reasons you have sex.

Why does it matter who God gives the wives to? The fact that He did it and He didn't send the wives away saying that polygamy was an abomination clearly tells the story. God has the power especially if He was punishing someone, to send their wives separately to other MEN but He chose NOT TO. He took the WIVES and gave them to another. And why don't you tell us what happened to the wives.......???? Did God send them individually to be the ONLY wife of other men????
