Conservatives say marriage has always been between a man and a woman. They’re wrong.

... Marriage is a constantly changing social institution that adapts to social and economic conditions. And when those conditions change, marriage changes.

Our modern view of marriage — one that has generally predominated in Western societies over the past 200 years — is the outlier. Historically, marriage has been about finding good in-laws and securing economic advantage. And marrying for love is a thoroughly modern invention ...

The Washington Post; NOT FIT FOR ANYONE TO READ !

TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

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.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

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?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

But it has always been between a man and a woman.

The article is claptrap.

[Yosemitest]

Did the The Washington Post print the story or not ?
ANYONE who supports HOMOSEXUALS is ANTI Christ!

[EveningStar]

God has a cure for homosexuals.

Are you saying that we should kill homosexuals?

[max americana]

There should be a law on FR that libtard rags like the ComPost we should be able to get the entire summary to avoid giving these clowns a click point.

[EveningStar]

It’s a bad headline.

[Yosemitest]

Am I the AUTHOR of the Bible?
Have you read John 1:1-17 ?

[2banana]

I guess all those Greek plays were made up.

The same for Anthony and Cleopatra!

Economics and family connections have always played a role in marriage.

And it still does to this day.

Romeo and Juliet would be a boring without the passion...

[MeshugeMikey]

well yes there always have been scattered PERVERTS....who dont follow the NORM....

a ROMAN? gee what a surprise that is huh?

[EveningStar]

Would you like for FR to get another lawsuit?

[MortMan]

It’s a direct lie, IMO.

The other thing that is true is that Government involvement in marriage is a rather recent event also in the last 150 to 200 years.

[Oak Grove]

Same-sex marriage is an issue like abortion.

If the Supreme Court imposes an unconstitutional dictate, the issue will remain an unresolved dispute until the dictate is overturned.

History tells us that dictators and their programs do not last forever.

[Yosemitest]

If we OBEYED GOD, we would NOT have this SATANIC FILTH bothering us.

Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—
and the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,
the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,
has identified his person with a sin,
whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SIN
through "love,"
or VINDICATION
THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,
what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCE
not of the person,
but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY that
THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,
and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,
WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,
and whose indelible constitution
places ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect man
AT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !

It’s tempting in the face of the madding hordes to want to bend the scriptures to do what you want to do. As it is, all the referenced scripture does is to refer to a legacy provision in Mosaic law. The Mosaic law must be taken as unitary... all or nothing. No cherry picking allowed. It also cracks down on several other forms of adultery with similar provisions. Not to mention Sabbath breaking (and if the Mosaic law is unitary, you cannot shake off a liberal Sabbath by adopting Mosaic law, though I know you have tried). I thought we respected God enough not to try that kind of stunt. Guess not!

We are not left with anarchy without the Mosaic law applying. We are left with the older Noahide law (everyone who is Noah’s descendant meaning all of us). Which forbade adultery, that includes of course sodomy. But under a different penalty scheme, which imposed bloodshed for bloodshed but not for other wrongs.

If you want God’s power you must first not play games with His scriptures. That’s all there is to it.

” History tells us that dictators and their programs do not last forever.”

Like the abortion law? They might just BE forever. At least long enough to destroy our society.

Conservatives say marriage has always been between a man and a woman. They’re wrong.

Christians say God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman.
