Those who know me know my Biblical stance on such issues. However, I can imagine a situation where I’d choose to attend and maintain a viable relationship connection in the hope that some of my Biblical perspective might be eventually heard.
My housemate says that even among the long term committed gay relationships, less than 1/10th of 1% of them demonstrate high quality caring vs co-dependency and worse. How would church-going heterosexuals compare? 3-12%?
Why were so many major characters in the Bible polygamists?
Indeed. Neither attend nor wish them well nor even neutrally acknowledge their celebrations in any way or fashion.
But the food is to die for
Are you going to deny the joy of your friends and family whom you love? We’re better than that. I’m sure you will all agree.
So how many 'mothers' give their vows in any given 'gay' 'marriage'?
Christian or not. It’s unnatural. It cannot naturally produce offspring and if there are children involved it is just wrong.
Polygamy, though far from ideal, is at least (absent other concerns) not a denial of the nature of marraige as between man and woman.
I can love the sinner and hate the sin.
By going to the same sex weddings I’ve attended was out of love for the participants and respect for their parents.
You are free to do what you wish. I don’t have enough hate in my heart to do that to people I love.
Glad for the article. I got tired of hearing so called conservatives like Glenn Beck talking about their wonderful gay friend’s weddings.
Celebrate in their sin? Nope. Can still love them, but wouldn’t attend ~ any more than I would drive someone to get an abortion ...
I remember hearing that it was to populate ... since there were so few peeps, back then. Sunday school teachers ;-)
You should see it getting packed.
Watching two faggots kiss? No thanks.
You’re saying that declining to attend a same sex wedding means you have hate in your heart, and you can’t do that to the parents involved??? Care to rephrase? Is that really what you mean to say, that one is full of hate to not attend???
Issac and Rebekah were the Biblical ideal.
It’s not hateful to not attend if it goes against one’s conscience. We’re to tolerate others, but others refuse to tolerate us, just label as “haters”.
Not even the slightest chance. If I even knew anyone thinking of gay hitchin’—which I don’t—they’d presumably know me enough to not even extend an invite.
