, and that is a mighty big if ;) homosexuality is a perversion why would society embrace it? There are many perversions in this world that society does not embrace so why this one?


Society DOESN'T embrace homosexual "marriage" nor do the majority of the people think that homosexuality itself is moral.

IN any case, society accepts all sort of perversion. Society isn't the ultimate arbitrator of what is right and wrong.

Only Almighty God is.

Scripture is explicit that in the last days society will become more and more evil.

2Ti 3:1 Know this also, that in the last days grievous times will be at hand.

2Ti 3:2 For men will be self-lovers, money-lovers, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,

2Ti 3:3 without natural affection, unyielding, false accusers, without self-control, savage, despisers of good,

2Ti 3:4 traitors, reckless, puffed up, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,

2Ti 3:5 having a form of godliness, but denying the power of it; even turn away from these.

2Ti 3:6 For of these are those who creep into houses and lead captive silly women loaded with sins, led away with different kinds of lusts,

2Ti 3:7 ever learning and never able to come to the full knowledge of the truth.

I realize that society is not the great arbitraitor, that was not my point. My point was exactly as stated, if same sex mongamous relationships are a perversion why would society as a whole, as implied in the post, I quoted embrace it?

I agree with that post EXCEPT that I still believe that divorce ia definitely a sin if you get one to be with someone else, because you're bored of the person etc. Vows taken before God are to be taken seriously, and divorcing someone simply to satisfy your own lusts and desires IS a sin, but if the person is abusive etc. I believe that there may be certain cases where divorce is OK.

Society as a whole does not embrace it. Where are your facts to back up your statements? You might WANT them to embrace it. The militant agenda themselves would like nothing better, but that doesn't change the facts.

Votes taken in the United States prove you quite to the contrary as a matter of fact.

Divorce has been around ALOT longer than same sex marriages. Christians have learnt that they will never be able to make it illegal. Give same sex marriages another 10 years. See how much ranting people will give it then. People will learn to accept it and accept it they must. Imagine how many gay people are going to never even consider Christianity again. If only we had welcomed them AS THEY ARE, like we do with people who have had divorces.
Then divorce has been around a LONG time. http://www.simonsays.com/titles/0684824043/sameex1a.html

I was questioning this assumption of yours. What facts to back up what; I made no assertions or claims.

That is the point though people need to take getting married much much more seriously then they do and they need to realy asses quite carefully their their reasons for divorce.

Since there is so much talk about the marriage institution being threatened I say let's all sign a petition and request a law banning divorce. We also need a constitutional amendmant to redefine marriage as a union between a man and woman which is NOT SUBJECT TO BE BROKEN. Divorce is actually the biggest threat to the marriage institution. Statistics show that 50% of all marriages end up in divorce. The marriage institution is most definitely threatened. God hates divorce. The Bible says that those who divorce commit adultery. The Bible says adulterers can't enter the Kingdom of Heaven. We must ban divorce now! We must prevent half the married population from sending themselves to eternal hellfire! So you say that you don't get along anymore and nothing productive is coming out of your relationship? Too bad you need to suck it up! (Oops I almost forgot to put the stupid clappy faces in that people like to use when condemning others) ...there I feel better now.

If you make the moronic mistake of marrying someone who you're not going to like in 5 years, that's your problem. If you rush in to something,that's your own lack of patience and consideration that brought you to where you are, unless something drastic happens that totally changes the personality of ther person you marry or if they cheat on you, there's no reason that you shouldn't still want to be married to them unless you get bored of them, and it that case, that's your own problem.

I agree 100% Marriage should be taken much more seriously than it is in today's society.

5 years is a long time, something that made you happy five years ago might not make you happy now, people also change in five years.

A man could be sweet as pie to a women before they get married, but once they get married he could go from being nice and supportive to just meh....

Let me tell you a story:

My really good friend Zack is going through a tough divorce. His parents are separating. His dad is a drug and alchohol addict, and his mom is a devoted Christian like Zack. They've been trying to get a divorce for sometime because Zack's dad is abusive. Right now, it's an in-home divorce in a sense that they sleep in different rooms and such.

Do you really want this 14 year old boy to live like this forever? I think in times like this, many Christians would agree that divorce is necessary for everyone in this situation...

Still waiting for the answer to my question. Why do so many Christians rant about homosexuals and not rant about divorces? What makes homosexuality such a dastardly sin where other sins are pretty much ignored for the most part.

That "sin" is not committed by 99% of Christians and therefore leaves it available for open season for condemnation.

I think it's more like after 5 years you get to KNOW a person. I don't think a person has changed, the partner just didn't know ALL that in the few months of being on their best Courting behaviour. Not all couples grow together and have the same ideas, they just don't know it until those issues pop up, one at a time.

I used to joke that my brother and sister have a lot more experience than I do. Both of them have been married previously and have had many different jobs. I have no experience with divorce or jobs. I have one spouse, 22 years, and I'm with the same corp over 25. No idea what it's like to be otherwise.
