Actually...after thinking about it...no. I have no problem with it.

Re: Phats Opinion
OK, here is my opinion, Mr. Jon.
​
.I think that allowing gays (or any couple) to do whatever they want is not how the church should be. the church should encourage people to pursue their higher calling... I suppose the church should not demand that you come clean about what you do in the bedroom... but they should encourage their members to pursue higher callings.
​
Perhaps the whole same sex thing should not be a major issue any more.
​
Perhaps people in general should just be all treated the same.

Re: A Distinction with a Difference
I personally believe that a child needs a mother. Even if I were in a same sex marriage I would want this for my child.

Re: A Distinction with a Difference
I can say the same for you. You think that through your scholarship and examination of what has been written you can dismiss it as superstition. Unfortunately you have been deceived, in my opinion.
