Largest Presbyterian Denomination, gives final approval to SS Marriage

I sure have seen that attitude plenty, especially on these forums from YECrs.

Some people will pull the "No True Christian" Card when it comes to referring to Christians who accept evolution.

But like evolution, Homosexuality is just one of the many things that Christians disagree with each other one. There is a pretty big list. And with that list, comes other things beyond evolution and homosexuality, that some Christians would say a real christian could not accept.

And I don't think having a belief that the Bible is not against the modern concept of homosexuality and loving SS couples, means that they are false Christians.

Being a Christian does not mean someone is perfect, and has to be right 100% in the beliefs he or she has. People can have wrong beliefs and still be Christians. None of us are perfect.

I agree.

This is why, Christianity, has by far, the most denominations of any religion, because there is so much disagreement.

Sadly, it is. And with a quickness.
It's the prophecy of 1Timothy 4:1-2 . But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons, by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

Soon we'll see more apostate structures capturing Christians souls than true churches committed to upholding Gods word.

Another "Christian" church not following biblical teaching. This is the trend that we are seeing with American Christianity that is teaching non biblical messages for the sake of being politically correct. Today we get a water downed message with no meat nor biblical ground to stand on. Many churches are now promoting homosexuality, moral relativism and universalism for the money. Today Christianity looks like a joke to the outside world, how far will the American church fall?

Romans 1:26-28 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error. Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10 Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Indeed.

It is staggering how many, professing Christianity, still do not know this though.

They probably know it but they simply don't want to accept it. They want a convenient God whose commandments never interfere with their own desires.

Exo 32:23-24--> For they said to me, 'Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.' And I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them break it off.' So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out."

Think about it.

Jesus spoke about how fruitless trees are fit only to be destroyed. IMO, with such statements, Jesus was commenting on the issue: any "marriage" that does not produce fruit (e.g. children) is not a legitimate marriage at all.

Absolute rubbish! Using this reasoning my lady friend and I should not marry because she is unable to have children.

I second the "rubbish" comment.

If Jesus was silent about an issue, that means he did not need to correct or clarify it.

What about issues where Jesus spoke out very clearly?

And I say unto you, Whosoever shall put away his wife, except it be for fornication, and shall marry another, committeth adultery: and whoso marrieth her which is put away doth commit adultery.

And yet most Protestant denominations don't have a problem with divorce and remarriage.

Those denominations are wrong. Simple as that.
