It doesn’t work that way.

I asked if you had the authority to codify your religious beliefs into law -- you said you did back in post 45.
Thank you for acknowledging your mistake.

 

[Larniavc]

but homophobes would NEVER abuse the bible like that

Especially when the Bible tells us what God commands to happen to gay folks.

 

[KCfromNC]

Correct, as of June 24, 2022, “it was never a right”.

Down the memory hole it goes, on forward into this Brave New World.

Do you have any children? If yes, do they always obey your very good instructions? If they disobey, do you still love them? Do you forgive them?

Yes, because they are my children. But I’m not a king. Jesus is, though.

 

[Hammster]

Homophobia - an irrational fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or people who are identified or perceived as being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. It includes antipathy, contempt, prejudice, aversion, and hatred of homosexuals


That said anyone tossing around the word abomination ends up sounding pretty scared.

Homosexuality is vile. That doesn’t mean I fear it.

You didn’t ask me that.

Jesus IS King, and He loves huminity more than you love your children. He gave His life to redeem all humanity. I heard a song that says
Jesus went
To Calvary
To save a wretch
Like you and me
That's love

He gave His life to redeem His people. But that’s not relevant to this discussion. What is relevant is His kingship.

Homosexuality is vile. That doesn’t mean I fear it.

Phobias can also be an aversion, marked by an intense hatred, as opposed to fear.

Guess we need to change our passwords, because posts 32 and 35 show the question being asked and answered... has one of us been hacked?

He gave His life to redeem humanity. But relavant to this discussion is you want to deny the humanity of gay people.His kingship is big enough to redeem even gays.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

Are you, a confessed atheist, using God's word to make it alright to commit murder against gays? That lets me know that you do not know God at all.So how can you use His word to endorse your hatred?

 

[SilverBear]

the name calling says otherwise

 

[Belk]

The federal government has no business being in the marriage business.

I disagree. I think the federal government has a compelling interest in the long term stability of families.

<Looks at Christian treatment of homosexuals over the years>

Actions appear to say different.

How is his kingship relevant? I certainly didn't vote for him...

 

[loveofourlord]

Who’s afraid of homosexuality?

All the ones who were affraid gay marriage was going to destroy marriage.

 

[Hammster]

Phobias can also be an aversion, marked by an intense hatred, as opposed to fear.

Sure. That doesn’t change the fact that homosexuality is vile.

I guess if you take was was said out of context…

I never said He doesn’t want to save homosexuals.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.
— 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
