The First Amendment Defense Act, commonly known as FADA, has been reintroduced in Congress by Senator Mike Lee of Utah and 21 other Republicans despite being called harmful, discriminatory and the vilest anti-LGBT religious freedom bill of our time" by gay rights advocates.

The bill, Lee said, is designed to prevent the federal government from discriminating against individuals or institutions based on their beliefs about marriage.

What an individual or organization believes about the traditional definition of marriage is not and should never be a part of the government's decision-making process when distributing licenses, accreditations or grants, Lee said in a statement. The First Amendment Defense Act simply ensures that this will always be true in America that federal bureaucrats will never have the authority to require those who believe in the traditional definition of marriage to choose between their living in accordance with those beliefs and maintaining their occupation or their tax status.

The bill was last introduced in the House and Senate in 2015 but did not make it out of committee. Jeff Sessions, now attorney general and then a senator from Alabama, was one of FADA's original sponsors, and in December 2016, President-elect Donald Trump said he would support the legislation.

IF churches don't have to accept service dogs, why should they have to accept homosexuals who outwardly sin and expect it to be condoned by a church following God's Word. Service dogs don't even sin.

What happens to be the problem?
If your a business that receives "Federal Funds" you can't discriminate against those who believe homosexuality and same sex marriage are wrong biblically, and morally.

Homosexuals have tried to infiltrate many churches, employment, teachers, etc.

The Liberals have been trying to take away Churches "Non-Profit" status over this issue, (FADA) stops the Liberal agenda.

Currently in Canada, they are making many laws to discriminate against individuals, churches, organizations, that oppose homosexuality (FADA) will protect from this.

The Lord did call homosexuality an abomination (Lev 18:22).

The Lord did call homosexuality an abomination (Lev 18:22).
He also called it a sin, "Worthy Of Death"!

Romans 1:24-32KJV
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Some seem to be and some gay people seem to be obsessed with Christians.

Yes, I can't imagine why they would be obsessed with the people who have made their life a living hell trying to deny them everything from shelter to basic identity.

Many sins were punishable by death in the old covenant. The new covenant is about love not following the letter of the law. To put sinners to death takes away their ability to repent and turn to God. Ultimately we would be sealing their fate in the lake of fire. I didn’t come to Christ until I was 39 years old. If those laws had been in place I would’ve been killed long before I had a chance to turn to God.

I don't remember the "worthy of death" part.

He said the same thing about women wearing pants.

Deuteronomy 22:5
The Mosaic Law of commandments is gone in the cross of calvary.

The sin of homosexuality is worthy of death as seen in the New Covenant in Romans 1:32 as previously identified.

You can post all the Mosaic Law all you want to build your straw man case, It's gone in the blood of Jesus Christ.

Wasn't me that brought it up.

Romans 1:32 relates also to Romans 1:31 and Romans 1:30 so it would appear the sins of fornication, and being disobedient to parents, is also worthy of death.

You can post all the Mosaic Law all you want to build your straw man case, It's gone in the blood of Jesus Christ.

And you can choose to cherry pick the New Testament just as poorly as those that cherry pick the Old. Neither makes your case.

The scripture is speaking to those that participate in the sin of "Homosexuality"

Verses 29-32 is specifically identifying the "Homosexual"

"THEY" "Homosexuals"

Romans 1:24-32KJV
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.

Just to clarify, you think homosexuals are filled with envy, murder, deceit, pride, and parental disobedience?

Thats...nup, got nothing. Have a nice day :wave:

Thats...quite funny. I hope it was intentional. Your poor cherry pick of scripture doesn't magically get better with reposting, in case you were not aware. The They you are so fond of relates back to Romans 1:21, and refers to disbelievers in general, which ironically, is not a pure superset of homosexuals.

ETA: Personally, I think Paul is having yet another go at people that frequent pagan temples, he really had a bee in his bonnet over that.

Paul wasn't a woman or a child, and didn't wear a bonnet, It's those rainbow colored glasses again.
