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
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.
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.
Watching two faggots kiss? No thanks.
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.
From the article:
” Since homosexuality is considered a grave sin and marriage a sacred union, the concept of same-sex marriage is a sacrilege. It seeks to profane that which is holy.
When a same-sex couple stands before someone acting in an official capacity and repeats words that mimic marriage vows, they are, in a very real sense, openly defying God.”
I agree.
Their alleged public profession of their “marital” relationship is the equivalent of their publicly shaking their fist at God. And, all those present are, in effect, cheering them on in their act of sacrilege.
This is fair enough.
But what about going to a dinner party at an unmarried couple’s house?
How could anyone attend such an event without weeping? Why would they want to? Love does not entail winking at sin and pretending all is well for the parties marching off to eternal damnation - when you know better.
If Jesus showed up right now he wouldn’t be Christian. I think it is very UNCHRISTIAN to think that you should not attend to support a family member or friend. Who is the “JUDGE” on “JUDGEMENT DAY”??? That’s exactly what’s wrong with these born again hypocrites.
I highly doubt many have been invited to a gay wedding. Only a small percentage of the 2 percent even get married so I think we all are safe from that. Now in 20 years? I don’t know. It is possible that it is not even be advertised like each and every one of them are today. I can’t imagine my family going to a gay wedding.
Actually what the Bible made clear is that marriage is a sacred, lifetime union between one man and one woman: "But from the beginning of the creation God made them male and female. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife; And they twain shall be one flesh: so then they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." - Mark 10:6-9.
A true Christian should no more consider the marriage between a man and a woman, one or both of whom had been divorced, as a true Biblical marriage any more than a same sex marriage would be.
Question: If asked to read Scripture at a same-sex wedding, would you do it?
Weigh same-sex wedding vs chance to share Scripture
No such thing as a gay wedding. Weddings can’t be gay.
All this gay non-sense is just that. There is a big difference between tolerating someone’s lifestyle and embracing it as if it were no different than a man/women/procreation NATURAL relationship.
Going to a “gay [wedding] is embracing a lifestyle that is a mockery of creation...including motherhood.
