Gay Marriage as an attack on Christianity

On the contrary, it should be fairly easy to point out the logic errors if they're there. But you can't, can you? So you just run away.

quote:

---

Matthew 22:35-40 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

---

Loving thy neighbor supersedes all other considerations of "the law".

quote:

---

Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

---

There is no law against loving your gay neighbour.And by the way, longsuffering means patience, not whining about how you're being treated.

Nor does it shoot off its mouth about sin.

quote:

---

7:1-5 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

A related verse:

quote:

---

John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

When you're without sin, you're free to talk about somebody else's.

I QUOTED you: "Love does not lie about sin, pretend sin is not sin, pretend sin doesn't take people to Hell, pretend marriage can apply to anyone other than male and female.." Message 671How is that not talking about sin? I'm not accusing you of anything. I'm just pointing out how the Bible disagrees with you.If I've misapplied the Bible, show us where.

The selfish little minority group in this case is the gay-haters who call themselves "Christian".

It's not an attack. It's a statement of fact. It's only a small minority of self-styled "Christians" who are riled up about gay marriage - and I doubt that many of them would agree with you on points of doctrine either. There are a thousand ways to be wrong and yours is only one of them.

No, it's from the dictionary: Hater = person who hates - i.e. a person who has extreme dislike or disgust for some other person or thing.As opposed to loving thy neighbour.

The segue into a man leaving his father and mother is a bit odd, since Adam had no father or mother.

"For ALL have sinned," is a statement of equality.

Well, any kind of rights are an attack on tyranny.

As one of my teachers used to say, "Dirt is common - but not very valuable."Edited by ringo, : Removed off-topic comment.

So, if abortion is murder, do you advocate capital punishment for women who have abortions? Or just imprisonment?

You just need to change your ideas about what dishonours God.You're stuck in the old Testament with the other Pharisees. Jesus came to clarify what dishonours God - He said it was failing to love thy neighbour.

I don't know whether you can change your beliefs or not - but you can change how you act on your beliefs. You could try, for example, to do what Jesus told you to do instead of what Moses told you to do.

God told nobody to persecute gay people. Jesus told people NOT to.
