Your PERSONAL interpretation of scripture is a rather hollow argument that has been tried numerous times by like minded individuals. I would love to see where on earth you got such a wild interpretation of scripture. The comparison with slacks is even weaker, but your tactic is the same. Try & destroy biblical credibility through lies that are portrayed as being "the majority view". Prime example, the possibility of a "gay" gene which has all but been refuted by three years of sound study and results in more than 300 journal articles and academic books. Finally, since all the claims you've maid thus far a fallacious I will only address your last sentence.

"marriage is a civil contract in this country and not governed by the Bible or religion."

God created this world & nation & I don't care what the supreme court or any other world court says, He'll have the last word on what's right & wrong. I highly suggest that you repent & move on from this bondage.

MickeyC,
I'll limit my words in lieu of God's. Just so it's easier for ya.

Leviticus 18:22 (King James Version)
22Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination.

Romans 1 (King James Version)
26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.

Just to list one OT & NT scripture, so you may want to try again or just accept the truth.

MickeyC, hey all I'm doing is copying straight from the Bible, and the last time I checked it hasn't changed since it was written. Oh & you may want to come up with a better rebuttal than "YOU don't know what the Bible says and it doesn't condemn same sex marriage. Deal with it." That type of debating doesn't work well.

MickeyC come on you have to be kidding me right?! Either you don't know the Bible or don't care about what it says.

2 Timothy 3
1This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
4Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
(Please pay attention to this next verse...)
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Let's be plain and simple. Marriage has and will always be a gift from for one man & one woman. It's not a gift to be given away to anyone who just wants to be accepted for their deviation from God's order. If you don't believe in God's word I can understand how one may be confused. However if one professes the faith, then His word is very clear on this matter. Marriage is not a right but a privilege just like obtaining a drivers license.

Honestly the cap on exec pay will be useless. It isn't retroactive & there will probably be few if any "substantial bailouts" which is the only situation where the caps will come into effect. Don't be such a blind consumer of the mass media thinking that what comes out of a snakes mouth is straight talk. When in essence will have no affect.

How long will people try to blame all their problems on one man (bush) when the fact remains that most of this countries problems lies with those who are unrepentant. THIS is the problem with America, there is no longer right & wrong but, everyone is right in their own way. This is not a progressive society but one that is fast becoming the example of anarchy. Alas, it is the nature of the sinful flesh to struggle against the order our creator & savior. The only thing that I can truely rely on is the hope that is in Christ Jesus, AMEN.

Good point mathetes. biggie, the only boogeman any Christian is concerned about is Satan. Who currently is deceiving many people on this matter. We must hold on to the truth of God's word! It is our only source of living a holy moral life. God instituted the family before the church. Why? Because he knew the significance that the family would play throughout the existence of man. This is why Satan is trying to destroy the very thing God brought into being. Without strong family's we as a nation suffer. I'm sure global warming is important to a lot of people, however that's a whole other argument in itself. All I know is that if we keep our eyes on the Lord he will guide our steps accordingly.

I would also like to concur with ShuckCreations's previous statement. Too often is this argument poorly used to justify ones lifestyle choices. We are truly justified by Faith, our faith in the never changing Word of God.

BmoreTeacher,

Well as a proclaimed Christian, you should be following the Bible when it comes to deciding what is & is not of God as Luke 6:44 states. As far as your claim of there being numerous studies stating that the homosexual lifestyle is not a choice I would have to strongly disagree, I am firmly aware of the research that has been conducted & is still on going. None of which have concluded that this lifestyle is coded into ones genes. Regardless, whether or not there is a gay gene or people are predisposed to homosexual acts etc. One thing is for certain, God can change the heart of man. We must go back to the Bible once again & see where the Lord stands on this matter. Matthew 19:26 (NIV) reads; "Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." As far as your statement; "we don't know what causes it [homosexuality]" We actually do, & I don't need to point out the source of this knowledge. The truth of the matter is exactly what you stated, God does know what is in your heart. Our jobs as Christians are to spread the Gospel how it is, not adding or taking away from it. You must work out your own salvation, after the truth has been given to you if you choose to ignore it then the matter falls on you. I don't mean to intentional upset you, if I have you have my apologies. My only goal though is to strive to spread the unadulterated truth of God's word that's all.

chicago24,

Ignorant, I don't think you are using the word correctly here. There is no mystery to any of the sexual preferences that were listed. What constitutes any affinity/preference is a choice. There are cases where arguments have been made to state that pedophilia is "natural" & should be legalized see the case that is being made by the "Charity, Freedom and Diversity party" in Amsterdam. Many people would argue that homosexual behavior is just as harmful of a practice as you've pointed out for pedophilia & incest. One cannot cherry pick what is wrong & what is right. You either accept what God has defined as right/wrong or you do not accept God's word to be truth. If you are not a believer in God's word I wouldn't expect you to accept any of this, I would only pray that you would put aside your strong feelings on this matter & actually give God's word a chance. I also fail to see how my statements are "placing myself on a pedestal" I was born into sin like everyone else & the only reason I'm alive today is because of the grace & mercy of Jesus. His salvation & righteousness is what is causing todays culture to writhe in discomfort, why because it doesn't mesh with what their sinful nature wants to do. We are battling a spiritual battle for the very soul of our nation. This is way beyond me & you, it's about God's children & their souls. I would implore you to really think about this position you've taken & if you claim to be a follower of Christ then ask the Lord for his divine wisdom & guidance. As Mark 8:36 says; "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?" For all the legal battles on this matter, is it really worth losing ones soul?

Yes love is not a sin but we must check our definition of love against God's word. Cleary the bible lays out the Holy definition of love. However, in today's fallen world love has been diluted & misconstrued with lust. There are numerous forms of lust which many people would call love. To list a few, adolescent love (teenagers claim to be in love all the time without knowing what it means to truly love), polygamist love, pedophilia "love", unmarried couples be it hetero/homosexual etc. If the definition of love is relative then it is safe to state that ANY sexual preference (including bestiality) is ok & not sinful because it's based off of "love". The whole point in the Lord giving us the Bible was to maitain order see 1 Corinthians 14:33 & has specifically defined marriage, why? Because he knew of the ensuing discord & strife that would come due to an unchecked sinful culture that has turned away from God's message in it's entirety. It's not a question of understanding or learning about homosexuals, we all know what it means to be a homosexual. It is really a question of faith, will I let my sinful desires dictate every action in my life or will I allow the Word of Gove to be my moral & spiritual compass. If you truly believe that the Bible is the word of God then there is little room to argue that any other definition of marriage is not contrary to His Word. For followers of Christ this is where we derive our position on matters of this type, but for those who do NOT believe in the Word of God there position is derived from their own "relative perspective" better known as relative morality.

In closing please consider this, if the world was to acquiesce to this wave of liberalization & take the position that there is no authoritative source for morality (i.e. the Bible) & that everyone is free to do what they "felt" was right. What type of world do you think would come from it? My answer, total chaos.
