resolution filed in Tennessee to avoid Gods Judgement on gay marriage

Belk said:

Now that view I can agree with. I can also see it as reasonable that a loving deity would want his creation to experience that joy in their life.

This is where we part ways. I don't see anywhere in God's word where He allows for intimacy between ss couples, just the opposite. It is very clear in Romans 1 that it is unnatural.

I'm not making an argument. I'm stating a fact. The cited passages don't mention same sex marriage.

Hey, no worries. If you feel that god is against it you should likely not be in a SS union. Just as long as we can agree that your understanding of what God wants is in no way binding upon anyone but yourself it is all good. It is those who wish to impose their understanding of Gods desires upon me that I take issue with.

Romans 1 is not referring to monogamous same-sex relationships, it's referring to paganism. Try reading in context for a change. You also are ignoring Romans 2, which says you commit the same sins and are without excuse. Are you a homosexual?

So you're condemning gays with Romans 1, while ignoring Romans 2 that says you're in no place to condemn people with Romans 1.

I admire the resolve to reign in an activist court populated by 9 people who know they're not only above the law they interpret, but able to act with impunity with no fear of censure. At least in the annals of American history there shall be a record that somewhere a people tried to stop America from following in her own way what was the steps that led to the fall of Rome itself.

A SCOTUS decision can be nullified. Instead of sanctimonious lamentation, do something practical. Work to pass a Constitutional amendment defining marriage as a bond between one man and one woman.

Also, nowhere in the Bible does it speak against overdosing on heroin.

So you're condemning a Christian while being guilty of ignoring the warning issued forth in Romans 2.

Meanwhile you continue to argue for the sin God condemns and believe it has a right to continue unrepented of, while those opposed are worthy of scorn , ridicule, and of course the hypocrisy that cites Romans 2 while ignoring their own violation of Romans 2.

1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

What about the unrepentant sin of belonging to another religion? Shouldn't that be outlawed too?

It stands to reason in the minds of Christians that when God says SS behavior is worthy of death and is an abomination, and in the new covenant promises unrepentant SS people will not see Heaven, meaning they will see Hell instead, that he sure didn't mean to state, but SS marriage is okie dokie.
I could be wrong though, since there are those scriptures in Genesis wherein God said, in the beginning he made adam and john to be a couple, and eve and eve to be a couple and to go forth and not be fruitful and multiply.

Should that law be passed before or after the one that allows for the killing of unbelievers?

Ohhhh, that's right! This is America, where those largely Christian forefathers made the first priority in the American Constitution to be that of freedom of religion and free speech.
But God's law says SS people are worthy of death, and shall see Hell if they don't repent of their abominable immoral sin.

which is why you have no basis for saying that overdosing on heroin is sinful according to the Bible

I didn't say it was sinful, but I will say it's a bad idea.

You're absolutely right! When you can post the scripture wherein God approves drug abuse and overdose.

Please post those after you post the scripture wherein God condones, approves, and gives his blessing to SS marriage and SS behavior. Thanks.

No, marriage is defined by the Bible. The issue today is the fallen members of the culture that are trying to redefine it so as to accommodate their fallen standards.

Is this woman justified in her belief that God is going to bring judgement upon the US for approving SSM? Should I be going out to buy brimstone proof roofing?

A Christian would advise you to repent so that you insure you have brimstone proofed your soul for eternity.

Meanwhile, per your sarcastic mockery of Christian theology, if you're under the impression God's judgment isn't already upon this nation, and imagine America is a sublime paradise, you've either not been paying attention, or you don't live here.

Or I don't believe God is a real entity and find the idea that he would reign fire and brimstone on an entire population not only ludicrous but completely immoral.

Romans is referring to heterosexual pagans, not gays. It's obviously natural, since it's found in most species on earth.

Click to expand...

Where does Romans 1 say they were heterosexual, it just says that ss relations are unnatural, no matter who does it.
Animals are not created in God's image but even so......
It is not found in most species on earth, why don't you try to name a few mammals and birds that pair up with their own sex in order to try to reproduce. You won't find bull elk trying to satisfy their sex drive with another bull elk, they go find the females. They are doing what is natural. That is one of the weakest arguments that has come out of this whole mess.

The so called "Big 10" are not laws, they are categories of laws that all other Mitzvot fall under

Click to expand...

Let's be very accurate then...they are the commandments given by God at Mt. Sinai, that were written on stone.
I hate to tell you this but most people, who have studied the OT, are very aware of this fact. And not all of the 10 are restated in the NT and many of the Mitzvot cannot even be done anymore, there isn't any physical temple.

So unless you can show me where God EVER condoned this type of intimate relationship in His word or where there was any such type of relationship among God's people, my stand cannot change.
