A Study Says It All.

Good for them, honestly. And good for those kids. Saying gays can't adopt will prevent NO sin.

Having this, allegedly, non sin promoting lifestyle, has not prevented the divorce rate from being so high amoung Evangelical Christians has it?



11% of the adult population is currently divorced.
25% of adults have had at least one divorce during their lifetime.
Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.

Can't find a study on a remarriage rate but this is something Jesus specifically spoke about.

You misunderstood my statement. I meant that not allowing gays to adopt will not make sin go away. And don't condemn me for the sins of others, I have enough to be condemned for.

1. homosexuality lifestyle is NOT God's design - it is sin.

2. if Christians don't follow the natural design (see Romans 1:26-27) - we are our own worst enemy giving immoral lifestyles ground to stand against us and point the finger.

i think studies lie most of the time and are biased on "christians" who aren't really Christians - but go to a "christian" based church.

Anything that doesn't support your opinion is obviously wrong, amirite? Seriously, either come up with a reason why it's lying, or don't post.

Anyway, glad to see a study actually being done about this.

it's not opinion, all i will ever say about any subject ever will be substantially proven in the scriptures.

it is merely OPINION when the world speaks. the reason was given in romans 1:26-27 in the previous post. i cannot help if some do not subject themselves to the Truth of God's Word, but rather follow the lies of the world.

i can post on here as long as i like, it is a CHRISTIAN forum.

What we will find out is God isn't a God of wrath but of mercy and justic and that fundamentalists have been wrong all along.

^_^ ^_^ ^_^ ^_^

are you serious? LOL.....

do we read the same Bible? i don't think so.

i would suggest reading the OT thru. the only one's He has ever had mercy on were those who repented.

so what will happen to someone if the refuse to believe the Truth of the scriptures?

i think it's plain to see. :cool:

Honey, I already have a nice tan. God loves me. Deal with it.

honey? am i a bee? i'd rather you not call me that. i dont think i've insulted you personally.

i do believe God wants all to come to repentence and come to be saved (2 peter 3:9, 1 tim. 2:4).

The facts speak for themselves. The research has proven no issue on topic at hand. That proves you are misrepresenting God's Word. Deal with it.

Yes, and no studies might be biased towards minority groups to maybe try to make they're lifestyles acceptible and keep all people happy at all, would they? (Sarcasm intended).

Oh yes, and they are not facts, they are perceived facts and that is another thing entirely.

I suggest you prove the study wrong factually, or move on.
