Sorryabout your luck, but Ive presented scripture that shows conclusively what is being condemned...men being with men sexually.
No, you have presented scripture that shows "conclusively what is being condemned according to your interpretation.
Once again, you are entitled to your opinion.
Its not my problem if you cannot accept the facts.
Not facts. Opinion.
The result will be that soon gay 'marriage' will engulf this land. It's inevitable.
A similiar argument was once made regarding interracial marriage.
PUHlease.Sorry

Its completely naive to pretend like the wording in that passage doesnt condemn men having sex with men.
And we lack the moral high ground to begin to explain or legislate why homosexuals cannot be officially married.
Exactly. So get over it. I'm sure there are more important things for you to worry about than stripping others of their rights.
Today is a happy day. The only thing that's sad is johnd's persistence to infringe on the rights, freedoms and happiness of others based on some ancient, irrelevant texts.
LOL!!!! Post-modernist mentality just cracks me up.
People who think they're righteous crack me up
So I take it you're against gay marriage too? Sorry, haven't had the chance to read through the thread yet.
Haha, sure thing boss. In a few years when my city is taken over by a giant parade of newlywed homosexuals I'll remember this conversation and say to myself, "Wow, HuntingMan's intolerance was right all along."Id like for you to reread your post here.
Read it again and again and again until it is etched into your mind so greatly that you can recite it without even glancing at it.
A few years from now, you'll know when the time comes, I want you to remember today, this hour, this second and precisely what you've said here.
Okay, I think we can all agree that whether it's our opinion or not that there are many churches that are against same-sex marriages. Does this mean they should be illegal? Does this mean it is acceptable for people to protest at the courthouses where these ceremonies are taking place, spoiling the happy day for the couples? How would it make a Christian feel if a group of protesters showed up outside the church at their wedding because the bride has previously divorced and is getting remarried?
Apples and oranges, Im afraid.Okay, I think we can all agree that whether it's our opinion or not that there are many churches that are against same-sex marriages.

Seeming this poster is showing that two men might be married before the Lord, we havent yet determined if she actually believes that heresy or not.L: "Some say a homosexual marriage is not really a marriage, therefore it falls into a different category. I personally do not see a difference" (8/14/06)
You shall not lie with mankind as with womankind. It is abomination to God.
(Lev 18:22 MKJV)
If a man also lies with mankind, as he lies with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination. They shall surely be put to death. Their blood shall be on them.
(Lev 20:13 MKJV)
We absolutely see that after this divorce and subsequent remarriage there is no abomination even remotely mentioned. Moses seems to either be encouraging this remarriage, or at the very least showing that the permission is assumed once she has been put away.When a man hath taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he hath found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house. And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife. And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and giveth it in her hand, and sendeth her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife; Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.
(Deu 24:1-4 KJV)
The Pharisees also came unto him, tempting him, and saying unto him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife for every cause? And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female, And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder. They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so.
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.
(Mat 19:3-9 KJV)
You are mistaken.Haha, sure thing boss. In a few years when my city is taken over by a giant parade of newlywed homosexuals I'll remember this conversation and say to myself, "Wow, HuntingMan's intolerance was right all along."
...although I won't be holding my breath for that day to come
When a person has no regard for Gods order of things and His law, it is no real surprise that they wont fight for that order.Yeah, I think trying to deny gay marriage is taking things too far. I happen to approve of it...but even if I didn't like the idea, it's not something I would fight against. There are much bigger fish to fry than worrying about determining who should be allowed to marry who.
Yeah, well the problem is that we see men even under the old covenant who took wives not of their own nationality.
There is enough evidence in Gods word to show that marrying outside ones 'people group' is not abomination. That some twisted racist types perverted Gods word to say something it doesnt is not relevant to the fact that God word DOES condemn men having sex with men.
If there were even one SINGLE exception to this rule, then you folks would have some sort of case.
