Author | Topic: Presbyterian Church approves of same-sex marriages | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Jon Inactive Member |
Shouldn't the kind of love for God be completely different than the kind of love for one another?
I can't understand how there could be a competition between the two. Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!

Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit to spirit. Well, yeah; they're completely different. That was my point.
What I dont expect nor accept is a couple in church limiting themselves to carnal expression. I suppose church would be the wrong place for carnal expression. But there're plenty of other places for them to do it...
I see no point nor purpose for marriage between two men. You keep repeating that, but you keep providing no reason.
That is, for the record, my opinion. That's fine, but for the sake of clarity don't you think you could provide some reasons for that opinion?Love your enemies!

Why limit your love to just one man? So you'd be okay with polyamorous homosexuality?Love your enemies!

For a man to love more than one man in no way implies that sex is even part of the equation. Why should it be? So these men should remain chaste their whole lives?Love your enemies!

How many times do you quote dictionaries on this site, and now you can't be bothered to use one to look up something as simple as a single word?
Adjective - from Wiktionary chaste (comparative chaster, superlative chastest)

If either partner finds themself idolizing the other and/or worshiping them than no, they shouldn't be married. So the more in love they are then the more reason they have to not marry?Love your enemies!

Are you going to have a discussion or just keep pretending like you don't speak English?

Staying hung up on whether or not they should "allow" it, while the men are going out and getting married, misses out on a great opportunity to keep God in the picture. They're going to have to stop being so dogmatic about hating men lying together if they don't want to be left in the dust. Lesson being: As much as they may hate it, not even the church is immune from the processes of evolution...Love your enemies!

Just a side bar point: there are no unwanted children in same-sex marriages. Its wrong to think that gay people can't have children. They do: Message 10 Yes; but the children they have are all wanted. Edited by Jon, : No reason given.Love your enemies!

How many unintended pregnancies occur between homosexuals?

They could get married before or after that event and still end up with a child they don't want. Especially if the other parent dies. I considered that. But I don't think that is at all what xongsmith was talking about. Do you?Love your enemies!

I think xongsmith was pointing out that straight couples often end up with children they don't want, many times cannot afford, and are unprepared to raise.
Homosexual couples don't have that problem, and so, contrary to the utterly stupid shit Phat's been spewing into this thread, homosexuals are as equipped asif not more thanheterosexual couples when it comes to raising a family.Love your enemies!

It IS what we're supposed to do, though many may fail at it. All so far have; and lets hope that all continue to.Love your enemies!

Children can find role models anywhere. What is most important is that they have good role models of both genders.
Not everyone needs to be a momma's boy.Love your enemies!

Still isn't really working for me. That's because still you aren't reading what is written. You's simply inventing your own version of xongsmith's argument. And that won't get anyone anywhere.Love your enemies!
