"Once the argument on gay marriage went from homosexuality/sodomy to fairness and equality on the rights of citizens, the rhetorical argument was lost."
Then don't argue the fairness and equality of the rights of citizens to commit sodomy.
"Personally, I dont think the world will end when the gays get the right to marry.
Straight people will continue to marry and raise children, wont they?"
Raise children? Have you not heard of "
Agenda 21" and "
Common Core" ?
Have you not read of
Sodom and Gomorrah?
Have you not known of the destruction of homosexuality talked about starting in
Judges 19, through
Judges 20, and
Judges 21 ?
Those who support homosexuals are
against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have
NO sympathy for homosexuals!
Homosexuality is a
"Mark" of disobedience.
Someone once asked"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"
The answer is in the definition of "
REPROBATE".
rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]
- 1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.
-
Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.
- 2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.
-
They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.
- 3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.
And the reason
"why" is
given in the Bible.
God has
a cure for homosexuals.
But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

Satan's deception of believing that God's Laws, The Ten Commandments are done away with. Again, your argument is with the Bible, unless you think Satan wrote the Bible. The Bible calls the Ten Commandments "the ministration of death" and the "ministration of condemnation":
the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones (2 Cor 3:7).
The Bible also says the ten commandments ARE done away with:
But if the ministration of death, written and engraved in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excels. For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remains is glorious (2 Cor 3:7-12).

[THERE ARE NO GOOD UNION ORGANIZATIONS]
As obama leads us into a communist state, the LEADERS of unions does the same.
The majority of members of unions just tolerate their leaders to feed their families and way too many of our citizens look to obama to do the same in the form of handouts.
But I understand your frustration but, one day, this house of cards WILL fall.

All the right-wing talkers backed off the gay marriage thing years ago. I haven’t listened to Rush or Hannity for a while. The country needs more than tax cuts, we need to get back to God.

I’m not sure why you were fainthearted about putting the quote from Leviticus in your post? If you think homosexuals should be put to death, then that is your opinion and you shouldn’t be coy about stating it.
I’m not religious myself, but I think everyone who professes to be religious has to resolve the problems within religious sayings and philosophy.
For example, if you want to quote the Old Testament sayings of Leviticus—and you are a Christian—then you have to consider the contrary admonishment that Paul preaches in Galatians:
All who rely on observing the law are under a curse, for it is written: Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law. (Galatians 3:10)
If we rely on following the Law (the Torah, the first five books of the Bible) we are under a curse. The passage above, Galatians 3:10, contains a quote from the Law itself, Deuteronomy 27:26. According to Pauls statement below, things have changed.
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. (Galatians 3:13)
The philosophical and religious contradiction betweeen the Old Testament and the New doesn’t matter to me since I’m not a believer, however, before you start killing homosexuals you might want to give some thought as to whether your belief system puts you ‘under a curse’ according to a leading Apostle.

"Im not sure why you were fainthearted about putting the quote from Leviticus in your post?
If you think homosexuals should be put to death, then that is your opinion and you shouldnt be coy about stating it."
I have been adivised (
look under Disclaimer) :
Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism, violence, rebellion, secession, or an overthrow of the government.
You know, with the ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF, his minions, and the Democrats, it's getting harder every day to abide by that "Disclaimer" .
"Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us. (Galatians 3:13)"
Let read
Matthew Henry Commentary on the Whole Bible (Complete) on verse 13 of Galatians, chapter 3.
The curse is wrath revealed, and ruin threatened: it is a separation unto all evil,and this is in full force, power, and virtue,against all sinners, and therefore against all men;for all have sinned and become guilty before God:and if, as transgressors of the law we are under the curse of it,it must be a vain thing to look for justification by it.
But, though this is not to be expected from the law,yet the apostle afterwards acquaints us that there is a way open to our escaping this curse,and regaining the favour of God, namely, through faith in Christ,who (as he says, v. 13) hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, etc.
A strange method it was which Christ took to redeem us from the curse of the law;it was by his being himself made a curse for us.
Being made sin for us, he was made a curse for us;not separated from God,but laid for the present under that infamous token of the divine displeasure upon which the law of Moses had put a particular brand, Deu. 21:23 .
The design of this wasthat the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ that all who believed on Christ, whether Jews or Gentiles, might become heirs of Abrahams blessing,and particularly of that great promise of the Spirit,which was peculiarly reserved for the times of the gospel.
Hence it appeared that it was not by putting themselves under the law,but by faith in Christ, that they become the people of God and heirs of the promise.Here note,1. The misery which as sinners we are sunk into-we are under the curse and condemnation of the law.
2. The love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ towards us-he has submitted to be made a curse for us,that he might redeem us from the curse of the law.
3. The happy prospect which we now have through him,not only of escaping the curse, but of inheriting the blessing.
And,
4. That it is only through faith in him that we can hope to obtain this favor.
III. To prove that justification is by faith, and not by the works of the law,the apostle alleges the express testimony of the Old Testament, v. 11.
The place referred to is Habak. 2:4 , where it is said,The just shall live by faith;
it is again quoted, Rom. 1:17 , and Heb. 10:38 .
The design of it is to showthat those only are just or righteous who do truly live,who are freed from death and wrath,and restored into a state of life in the favour of God;
and that it is only through faith that persons become righteous,and as such obtain this life and happiness-that they are accepted of God,and enabled to live to him now,and are entitled to an eternal life in the enjoyment of him hereafter.
Hence the apostle says,It is evident that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God.
Whatever he may be in the account of others, yet he is not so in the sight of God;for the law is not of faith that says nothing concerning faith in the business of justification,nor does it give life to those who believe;but the language of it is,The man that doeth them shall live in them,as Lev. 18:5 .
It requires perfect obedience as the condition of life,and therefore now can by no means be the rule of our justification.
This argument of the apostles may give us occasion to remark thatjustification by faith is no new doctrine,but what was established and taught in the church of God long before the times of the gospel.
Yea, it is the only way wherein any sinners ever were, or can be, justified.
IV. To this purpose the apostle urges the stability of the covenant which God made with Abraham,which was not vacated nor disannulled by the giving of the law to Moses, v. 15, etc.
Faith had the precedence of the law,for Abraham was justified by faith.It was a promise that he built upon, and promises are the proper objects of faith.God entered into covenant with Abraham v. 8),and this covenant was firm and steady;even mens covenants are so, and therefore much more his.
When a deed is executed, or articles of agreement are sealed, both parties are bound,and it is too late then to settle things otherwise;and therefore it is not to be supposed that by the subsequent law the covenant of God should be vacated.The original word diatheke signifies both a covenant and a testament.
Now the promise made to Abraham was rather a testament than a covenant.
When a testament has become of force by the death of the testator, it is not capable of being altered;and therefore, the promise that was given to Abraham being of the nature of a testament,it remains firm and unalterable.
But, if it should be saidthat a grant or testament may be defeated for want of persons to claim the benefit of it (v. 16),he shows that there is no danger of that in this case.
Abraham is dead, and the prophets are dead,but the covenant is made with Abraham and his seed.And he gives us a very surprising exposition of this.We should have thought it had been meant only of the people of the Jews."Nay, says the apostle,"it is in the singular number, and points at a single person
So that the covenant is still in force;for Christ abideth for ever in his person, and in his spiritual seed,
And if it be objected that the law which was given by Moses did disannul this covenant,because that insisted so much upon works,and there was so little in it of faith or of the promised Messiah,he answers that the subsequent law could not disannul the previous covenant or promise v. 18):If the inheritance be of the law, it is no more of promise; but,
says he, God gave it to Abraham by promise,
and therefore it would be inconsistent with his holiness, wisdom, and faithfulness,by any subsequent act to set aside the promise,and so alter the way of justification which he had thus established.
If the inheritance was given to Abraham by promise,and thereby entailed upon his spiritual seed,we may be sure thatGod would not retract that promise; for he is not a man that he should repent.
Now what does all of this mean?
Well, the way I read it is:
I am not under "the Law" as you might say.
I am under "Faith".
Has "the LAW" been done away with?
No. I should OBEY the Law.The man that doeth them shall live in them,as Lev. 18:5 .
"The Curse" of the Law ( ? ) :
I believe the Law is NOT "the Curse",but rather the BREAKING OF THE LAW that requires "the Curse" of punishment of DEATH.
So "the Law" is not "the Curse", but rather SIN is "the Curse".
The Law is Godly and Perfect.
Does living ''By Faith" give my License to BREAK the Law?
GOD FORBID! and this covenant was firm and steady;

Try this example
Rush stated:
"Once you decide to modify the word 'marriage,'then the other side has won,or at least they're 90% of the way home.
The best thing that 'marriage' had going for it was basically what they teach you the first day in law school:'If you hang a sign on a horse that says "cow,"it does not make it a cow,'
although today it might."
That's where we are:5 + 5 could = 11, if it works for the Democrats.
A cow could be a horse, if it works for the Democrats. The thing is, discrimination has never been a part of marriage.

IMO it is time for Rush to once again write a book about why this country is F’d, who is F’ing it and what the outcome of all this will be.
It will make millions and the left would sneer, but years after he's gone when people read the book they will say Rush was right! He almost always is IMO.

Yes, but that isn't the New Covenant, that is the dispensation of grace we are now living in.
The New Covenant is a specific Covenant made to Israel for the Millennial reign of Christ.
The New Testament, the shedding of Christ's blood, is the basis for the New Covenant, but the New Testament isn't the New Covenant.

The curse of the Law is that we are unable to keep it!
So it convicts of sin.
A Christian is now able to live lawfully because the Holy Spirit within him keeps the Law and bears fruit, when we yield to him.
We have moved from lawkeeping to a personal relationship with God.

Yes, Paul says the Law is good, but it condemns us because we are unable to keep it perfectly.
So, the Law has exposed us as sinners.

"Nothing's breaking down. That's the whole point." In terms of the Republican Party, nothing is breaking down because conservatives do nothing to MAKE things 'break down'. Conservatives line up behind the "R" and enable those who are trying to drive conservatives out of the party.
It's time to stop talking about taking our ball and going home and actually DO it. The Priebus Capitulation of last week shows that the Republican Party as a vehicle for social conservatism is dead, dead, DEAD.

The Law doesn't condemn us, but rather, OUR

I think that's what the caller was saying that she was doing.
CALLER: I AM A CONSERVATIVE. I'm NO LONGER Republican.
There was a time when I believed -- I was foolish -- that Republicans were always right.
I was a fool, and I don't side with a majority of them. I do side with a few of them today.
I like Ted Cruz.
I like some of the people that are fighting for the freedoms.
Rand Paul, sometimes I disagree with on things.
But you have to be able to speak, because there comes a time...Yes, you look like a fool.
But there comes a time when the opposition that you're speaking against that has the majority --especially when what they're trying to promote is so false -- will break down.
When it breaks down, people will go back and say,"Hey, I remember this one saying that."
