This was the guilt of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters had pride, excess of food and prosperous ease, but did not aid the poor and needy. They were haughty and did abominable things before me; therefore I removed them when I saw it. - Ezekiel 16:49-50
There were hundreds of cities in the world who were proud, had excess food and prosperous ease, that did not aid the poor and needy and were haughty. Why were they also not nuked? Because they didn't practice abomination on the scale that Sodom did. Is homosexuality the only sin for which Sodom was nuked? No. But it is the major sin. All those other sins can be forgiven. Homosexuality is an abomination and both practitioners of it are to be killed. The OT doesn't leave any room for them to spread the disease further.
You're arguing that if we allow gays to get married, there will be more homosexuality in America and thus we will be more like Sodom? ... Do you think God only hates sin when its public?
If we legally sanction homosexual marriage, then we, the government, the church, the people of this country, become equally guilty of the sin as we are encouraging it. If this country allows homosexual marriage then God must nuke us or apologize to sodom.
(and yes, allowing homosexual marriage will result in more homosexuals as they will then press harder for homosexual adoptiona nd greater access to kids. Homosexuals do not reproduce but they do recruit. Any exposure of children to homosexual behavior is child abuse as it spreads the disease.)
Thank you. That is a theologically consistent argument and I understand and respect that. That comes from a place about being genuinely concerned about America and her soul.
The problem I have is the few people on here that seem to be for nothing, but against everything (illegal immigrants, black people, homosexuals, poverty, health care, Muslims, etc.) I want ideas and plans for how to fix the problem - simply railing against the symptoms does no good. As I said earlier, if Christians believe the television networks are to blame, why don't we buy them instead of conceding defeat?
My personality is geared toward not just wanting to know why someone believes as they do, but what they will do about it (specific plans) to change the culture.
The best example of what I mean is a thread on here earlier about a senior who wants the budget balanced but is angry at the government because they won't get an increase in social security due to the fall inflation! That's the sort of logic that absolutely makes me angry, even if I agree with them (in this case, on balancing the budget). Everyone wants something but they aren't willing to make any sacrifice to get it.
