Why is that?
I do believe most churches are AFRAID to take a stand.
I also believe most people in their HEARTS know marriage is for a man and a woman.
Figures can lie and liars can figure. CNN?? Retch!
Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going into a stable makes you a horse.
It doesn’t matter what “most” people, Christians or otherwise, believe. Nothing in the US Constitution gives the federal government the legal or moral right to define marriage for the states. The propagandists, aka media, are just trying to smooth over the upcoming illegal and immoral ruling by the SCOTUS. They are using polls like this to push an agenda.
If homosexual “marriage” is as popular as CNN and others claim, then why did the homosexuals resort to the courts? If they have the votes, why don’t they vote? No. They ran to the courts to overturn the popular will of the people. That’s the only explanation that makes sense.
That’s nothing. I used to golf with a guy from my Catholic Church who turned out to be a supporter of late term abortion. I told him he would have to find somebody else to golf with since the hypocrisy made me throw up a little in my mouth every Sunday watching him receive communion.
I should add that Christ’s church will never compromise on homosexuality or any other sin. It is not sin to be tempted to sin, but it is sin to act on those temptations. Anyone who claims to be a Christian and says it’s OK to sin, is worse than a nonbeliever.
Go forth and sin no more is the goal.
They were going to poll Sodom and Ghommorah to see how they felt about it...but they were unavailable.
I would suggest buying salt futures if that be your Lot!

Neither the SCOTUS nor God makes decisions based on polling data.
Well of course people claim to support gay marriage in an opinion poll. Nowadays it’s almost considered hate speech to voice any opposition.
Liberalism is a mental disorder.
The left liberal system, whether political, economic, biblical, whatever, is all based on lies which create serious cognitive dissonance issues with them. They are basically insane.
Here is what they do to God’s Word!
This is even on Wiki. They are reinterpreting and pushing their distorted view of God’s Word. Who are these people that they are now quoting and using as scholarly? So I am showing what is on Wiki, but a search easily shows how they are perverting God’s Word.
Watch for this to change on Wiki over time.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bible_and_homosexuality
“some interpreters uphold that understanding of these passages, while other interpreters maintain that they do not condemn homosexuality, saying that historical context suggests other interpretations or that rare or unusual words in the passages may not be referring to homosexuality.”
On Leviticus 18, 20... “The two verses have historically been interpreted by Jews and Christians as clear blanket prohibitions against homosexual acts. More recent interpretations focus on its context as part of the Holiness Code, a code of purity meant to distinguish the behavior of Israelites from the Canaanites.[3]”
On Romans 1:... “some 20th and 21st-century authors contend the passage is not a blanket condemnation of homosexual acts, suggesting, among other interpretations, that the passage condemned heterosexuals who experimented with homosexual activity[5][21] or that Paul’s condemnation was relative to his own culture, in which homosexuality was not understood as an orientation and in which being penetrated was seen as shameful.[21] These interpretations are in a minority.[5][21]”
On Other Epistles... “John Boswell states that it “did not connote homosexuality to Paul or his early readers”, and that in later Christian literature the word is used, for instance, by Aristides of Athens (c. 138) clearly not for homosexuality and possibly for prostitution” .. “Some scholars consider that the term was not used to refer to a homosexual orientation, but see it as referred instead to activities.[36][37]
Other scholars have interpreted arsenokoitai and malakoi (another word that appears in 1 Corinthians 6:9) as referring to weakness and effeminacy or to the practice of exploitative pederasty.[38][39]”... “Theodore W. Jennings Jr. and Tat-Siong Benny Liew write that Roman historical data about patron-client relationships and about same-sex relations among soldiers support the view that the pais in Matthew’s account is the centurion’s “boy-love” and that the centurion did not want Jesus to enter his house for fear the boy would be enamoured of Jesus instead.”
Sure it does, just like all the polls showing increasing support for Obozo’s policies. Suuuuure.....
“Mainline” Protestants don’t go to church except for Christmas and funerals. That’s what makes them “mainline.”
So the mass of Catholics are improperly catechized or are functionally heretics — not news at this point.
There is a difference in being religious and being a person who Christ has regenerated, And is leading with The Holy Spirit.
Most PEOPLE are now afraid to take a stand. The homonazis have made it very clear you can lose your job or business if you say anything critical of same-sex “marriage.”
Religious support for gay marriage is a Judeo Christian oxymoron. If yor religion opposes it how can you religiously support it?
These polls are so bogus. Anyone who supports gay marriage has to deny their faith and God’s Word. If they do that, they may be religious, but their Christianity is questionable.
My best friend remarried after she was widowed. Her oldest daughter and one of her son-in-laws profess to be gay and have long term partners. Nothing causes us to not love our children, but neither my friend nor her husband condone those relationships and make that clear to their kids.
Genesis 1
English Standard Version (ESV)
26 Then God said, “Let us make man[h] in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
Any “church” group that approves of sodomy, same-sex marriage, transgenderism, and bestiality is straight up from the synogogue of satan.
Christians should be taking a stand so extreme that they will forfeit freedom and face prison (or worse) over this issue.
God will have the final say on those trying to impose this on His people and the world He created.
