My point is that many in the Bible Belt behave like the Pharisees - holding onto legalistic, literal tradition and ideals, instead of love, compassion, and equality.
Until someone came along and overturned the old laws and showed everyone how foolish they were. What was his name again? Started with a "J", I think. Rather liberal minded fellow, if the stories about him are true.

Too bad the priests of the era didn't agree with you.

It's the year 2010 and Christians are called to preach God's word. Who cares what the priests said if it was at odds with God's word?

There can be no same sex marriage because marriage has been defined by God. So folks can go ahead and marry someone of the same sex. All it does is put lipstick on the pig. It's still a pig and God will STILL judge the sin that takes place under the guise of marriage as sin.

So we press on toward that blessed day.:clap:

As long as people leave the judgeing to God, I'm cool with this arrangement.

Well, for short, the judge in this case used an imaginary definition of the 14th ammendment to over-rule the will of the people to grant abominations. We will see. ;)
While I haven't read the opinion yet, I'm sure this judge used the same argument of the 14th Amendment that the Supreme Court did for interracial marriage.

And so now, gay people are abominations? :doh:

Can't make a decision without judging.

If you're in a homosexual relationship having sex , i'm gonna righteously judge and call it what it is: FORNICATION.

Christians like to ask, WWJD?

Indeed. According to the Bible, lepers were unclean. Jesus embraced them.
Jesus healed them that came to be healed.
According to the Bible, Gentiles were unclean.
They were not believers of our Lord.
Jesus embraced them.
Once they proclaimed Jesus the son of God.
According to the Bible, women were unclean. Jesus embraced them.
Women still have unclean moments just as men do. Jesus healed the woman of great faith.
According to the Bible, prostitutes were unclean. Jesus defended them.
Jesus was righteous and defended truth and the Fathers will. Jesus said go and "Sin no more".
According to the Bible, touching someones feet was unclean. Jesus washed them.
Man, what atheist websight are you quoting these from?

Like points on a scavenger hunt, Jesus gathered all the unclean people he could find and showed them compassion.
Aside from Jesus knowing who he hunted, Agreed.

According to the Bible, homosexuality is unclean. So, what WOULD Jesus do.
Jesus came to complete the Word, not change the Word.
That would be between you and Jesus. :)

Matthew 7:1 "Judge not, that ye be not judged."

For a Christian, you don't know your Bible very well.

Marriage, in the US, is a secular institution that the government allows the churches to officiate. They may have gotten it from religious sources, but that has no bearing on how the law should rule. Your religion (not just Christianity by the way) has no place in the US government law.

So, in other words, Christians can use the Bible to justify evil behavior like slavery, banning interracial marriage, denying women rights etc., until the Liberals come around years later, fix the mess, show the conservatives why their literal approach is wrong, set things right, only for the conservatives to come back a couple decades later, and promote some more discrimination using the Bible as justification, only for the liberals to once again correct their errors.

Is anyone else getting dizzy?

Feel free to think it, feel free to judge it in your own mind. But only a judge wields a gavel and can judge in a way that has a real impact on another person's life. If you think that only God is The Judge who has this ability and role, then leave that role to him. If you go out of your way to tell me how wrong and icky you think I am, you're not being righteous. You're being obnoxious.

It is possible, after all, to judge a person silently, while recognizing their right to live a life you judge to be wrong, and not bother them about it.

Every slave that was freed was freed as the result of God allowing for them to be freed.

This strongly implies...nay, says outright that every slave who was not freed was held captive because God allowed them to be held captive. Every slave who was beaten to death, or raped, or thumbscrewed was beaten, raped and thumbscrewed because God allowed them to be.
