But you must be happy and gay while you're doing it.

The New England Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, which includes four of the five states with gay marriage, issued a document stating that pastors can choose to solemnize same-sex marriages in individual churches that give their approval.Solemnize the sin and mock the scriptures, it's the ELCA way.
If GOD doesn’t judge this nation severely, He will have to apoligize to Sodom and Gomorrah.
Not much discussion about Catholics in there.
Wait, what? How hard is it to refer to the couple as “he” and “he” or “she” and “she” instead of “he” and “she”? Of course, the scripture readings could be problematic, especially the Old Testament ones. Brothers and sisters, this is going to be pure comedy.
No matter that the whole moral system is screwed up by acquiescence of the clergy to the radical, homosexual agenda, there are still priorities to observe.
Given the sickness of many churches if homosexuals waive enough money there will be millions of Sodomite church weddings. I have come to the conclusion that so called straights are sicker than the Sodomites. It is now becoming clearer why God destroyed Sodom, it was not only the homosexuals, it was also the “Tolerant” straights.
But you must be happy and gay while you're doing it.
Thank God for the Roman Catholic Church.
Tell the gov't, "marry" them at city hall but I will not allow my congregations Holy ground to be defiled.
I pray some do this, I wish they all would.
Why follow the Bible if one questions it?
THAT'S what the Bible is for all!
...after all...
Advice to all...
If the church you are in has to “debate” this issue...get out now.
You hit that nail on the head.
Many of those tolerant straights have homo’s in the family and allow that to cloud their reason.
A homo in the familty is still a sick puppy, no matter how much you love them.
But they allow themselves to look at the outings of others and let their reason look for a pass for their relative.
The unintended consequences of Church’s accepting these marriages and the fact that they are accepting a sick practice in the name of equality is going to drive a lot of them out of business. Some fruit married to the Pastor meeting with the ladies of the Parish is not going to go over so big./
There is live churches and dead churches. Live ones follow the word of god and the spirit visits these churches. Dead churches follow the word of man with a hit tip to the word of god. The spirit keeps an eye on these “churches” but rarely visits.
“A standing-room-only crowd, larger than Easter Sunday’s, packed the pews....”

If they believe that “gay marriage” is possible, why didn’t they require their clergy in “relationships” to marry before the state recognized “gay marriage”? Suddenly the state says it’s OK so know they require/allow it?! Man, I don’t know about anyone else, but I wouldn’t belong to a faith that takes its moral direction only when the state says it’s OK to do so...

The benefit to all this is that it’s now easier to distinguish between the light and the darkness. Persecution of true Christians always follows when this happens.
How cute, they still say marriage is between a man and a woman but they'll marry whoever shows up anyway. They must think that joke will please enough of the membership to keep the bills paid.
many believers do not belong to churches anymore
for this reason.
