I think the repeal of DADT is awful. There is no doubt that it will negatively affect the effectiveness of the most professional military force in history.
How does allowing openly homosexual people in the military violate God's law? It does not, anymore than the admittance of homos in your church does.
For violations of Natural Law, consider that our government has become an instrument of plunder, giving the property of one to another, it violates contracts, government provides funds to kill the unborn . . . the list goes on.
Homosexuality is sin against God. Allowing sinners into the military is not a violation of God's Law.
Homosexuals don’t belong in the military because they’re sinners, but because they are mentally ill sex perverts. Their presence already is damaging, and when allowed free rein, it will be even worse. Infinitely worse.

Jacquerie,
I do not have a church, God does, but I do not. Nor do I admit people into THE church. God does, but I have no say in it. Who does God admit? The Bible is clear that it is those individuals who recognize Jesus as the Son of God and who seek to do his will. Interestingly, the Bible also gives guidelines for “expelling an immoral brother.” (I Cor. 5) Therefore, if one is practicing a sin willfully with no intent to remove that sin from him/herself and further asking THE church to overlook it, even though everyone knows it is unacceptable to God, the Bible has authorized removal of that person until such time as they have repented and returned to God’s way.
It would seem we are authorized by God to make judgment calls? Would you deny that?
Sincerely,
Daisy Mae

1 Corinthians 5:9-11
9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister[a] but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.
