But He does give you the authority to pronounce final judgement?
Would you refuse to go to the wedding of a person who had been an adulterer? A murderer? A thief? He does not condone those, either.

If the adulterer had repented and stopped his sin I would go. A murderer, thief? Not knowingly. But anyone who repents his sin and changes his way is forgiven by God. So who am I not to also forgive? Two people who knowingly sin are not forgiven. Man and man, woman and woman who lie together are sinners. Period.
I am not "pronouncing final judgement". The Bible has done that. I am stating what I would do.
I am not sure I have an opinion on the question stated in the original post, but I wanted to respond to your opinion. As a Christian I would not hesitate to go to the wedding of an adulterer, murderer, or thief under certain circumstances. These things have nothing to do with whether a mrriage is legitimate in the eyes of God. One can be the worst pagan on earth and his marriage is still acceptable to God. There is nothing in the Bible that says two non-Christians can't marry. Homosexual marriage, however, is something that is impossible, because God defined it differently.
