Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (JN 8:32)
Cheisa said, "That's funny, I don't remember seeing "evolution" in Genesis. Maybe because it isn't there. It said God created man, but there really wasn't a blueprint that I recall." The blueprint is in Genesis 2:7. "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

"Aviv ridicules the notions of sin and salvation." -Mark Earley For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. -John 3:20 "And that’s only one small step removed from oppression, disenfranchisement, and frequently even violence.

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" -Matthew 16:24-26
Pastors and saints in Uganda, weep and wail, fast and pray, maintain the watches, stand humbly in the gap with hearts filled with the love of the Lord, crying out to God for the salvation of those bound in the sins of homosexual behavior, even all sinners in your country.
God's word defines marriage as man (husband) and a woman (wife.) " . . . Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female . . . " (Matthew 19:4-6.) This is the day of salvation, a time to humble oneself, repent, and believe the gospel before it is too late.

My friend let us recognize the word of God and truth instead. If anyone is under the death weight of sin, including the sins of homosexual behavior, there is forgiveness and new life in Christ if he or she will humble him or herself, repent, and believe the gospel.

"The Vatican will review its safety procedures . . ." Something else that the Vatican should review is the title of "Holy Father" which has been given to their leader. Jesus only called God "Holy Father." No man and/or organization should try to usurp that title from God. Christians should reject and refuse such a thing.

Firstly, Jesus was raised from the dead (Mark 16:6.) Secondly, Jesus is in the midst of those who gather in His name (Matthew 18:20.) Thirdly, Jesus said He would send another comforter (John 14:16.) Fourthly, God set some in the church (1 Corinthians 12:28.)

Let us no longer tarry as strangers who will perish apart from God because of our sins, but let us call upon the name of the Lord, repenting and believing the gospel, for the Lord is good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon Him (Psalm 86:5.)less
A man as Pope, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Holy Father or Our Holy Father is not a God given or recognized position in the church of Christ (Ephesians 4:11.) The body of Christ has only one Holy Father, and that would be the one Jesus prayed to in John 17:11. It is good to humbly receive the word of God and not add to it.
“Ask the first Pope . . . when you get to heaven” -danpat1_2000 Which would not be Peter since scripture clearly reveals what his position was, an apostle of Jesus Christ (1 Peter 1:1), a servant of Jesus Christ (2 Peter 1:1), and an elder (1 Peter 5:1.)
"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God" (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10.)

"The rally drew hundreds of same-sex marriage supporters, including some clergy."
To avoid hypocrisy and selfishness, these same-sex marriage supporters should support and help others come out of their behavior or orientation closets also? If homosexual behavioral marriages are a civil rights issue as some would say (though it is not), then they should proclaim that behaviors or orientations towards animals, close relatives, groups, and inanimate objects are a civil rights issue also.
Why are they ignoring and not speaking out for the "civil rights" of other behaviors? Why are they not doing it as an all-inclusive "civil rights" movement?
I exhort all same-sex supporters to quit supporting behaviors contrary to God and His word, and to support the gospel of Jesus Christ, repentance, and a turning to God in these last days.

Homosexual behavior was not a part of creation (Genesis 1), it only manifested sometime after the fall of man, a fall that affected the whole creation. If man would have obeyed God and continued living, even having children in a non-fallen condition, then homosexual behavior would not have existed. It would have been a world where men cleaved to their wives (Genesis 2:24), not men cleaving to their husbands or women cleaving to her wives.less
"The rally drew hundreds of same-sex marriage supporters, including some clergy." Will these supporters be hypocrites or will they support all marriages based on other sinful behaviors? Will they support mature adults, such as a brother and sister, who want a responsible non-child, incestuous marriage?
