LOS ANGELES, CA, August 25, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – The GOP's leading presidential candidate said that he has been to a gay "wedding" and that conservatives should accept the Supreme Court's redefinition of marriage.

In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Donald Trump was asked whether the issue of marriage's redefinition is "a dead issue for the GOP at this point."

"Some people have hopes of passing amendments [to the U.S. Constitution]," said Trump, "but it's not going to happen. Congress can't pass simple things, let alone that. So anybody that's making that an issue is doing it for political reasons. The Supreme Court ruled on it."

In June, Trump told CNN's Jake Tapper that he had evolved on the issue of marriage, and supports "traditional marriage." At the time, he was pressed by Tapper on whether Trump's three marriages undermined his position.

"They have a very good point," said Trump. "I have a great marriage. I have a great wife now. And I – my two wives were very good. And I don't blame them. But I was working, maybe like you, 22 hours a day."

"I blame myself because my business was so powerful for me. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing," he said.

Trump told the Reporter that he had been to the gay "wedding" of Broadway theater owner Jordan Roth.

I'm taking the gamble.

At least you are being honest about the fact that it is a gamble. So you might encourage your fellow Trump supporters to treat those who do not support him with due respect, lest you lose them as potential supporters in the general election should Trump get the nomination.

It is possible to look at Trump's history and decide that the gamble is not worth the risk WITHOUT being in support of Bush, Hillary, the "establishment" or the other things that people leery of Trump are accused of being.

The name calling and attacks by many on this forum that I keep seeing against anyone who does not support Trump bother me much more than anything else. It reminds me too much of the liberal tactic of shouting down anyone who disagrees with you. I expect conservatives to be able to explain their views and positions, to engage in a dialogue and persuade, rather than browbeat, belittle and berate those with differing opinions.

Likely SCOTUS was blackmailed, bribed, threatened or all three. Obama is like the description of the the anti Christ horn in the Bible, full of eyes, seeing and knowing things about people that he has no business to know, things he can use to get his evil ways.

A long time ago it was let out that Obama had access to secret records on people and nobody batted an eyelash about it. If it had been Bush he would have been fried.

Them perform 33.3% of all abortions? Did Hannity tell Trump that?

[NetAddicted]

Very interesting. Sounds like a Presidential contender who will win. Somebody tell Trump Planned Butcherhood performs 33% of the USA’s abortions.

[NetAddicted]

Just occurred to me that Trump doesn’t owe any politicians any favors.

[Maris Crane]

Very insightful. Very succinct.

Thanks for sharing.

[sarcasm]Yeah. Priorities, people. Homosexuality is only an abomination in the eyes of A-mighty G-d. It's not something important like the ethnic integrity of White Northwestern European Man![/sarcasm]

[Elsie]

I don’t know how this issue can be solved by Trump or anyone else.

Didn't you people learn ANYTHING

from the smoke of SODOM?

 

-- GOD

 

[Elsie]

The President does...

Not...
Make...
Law!

If Congress puts a bill on his desk banning it; it WILL get signed!

[Elsie]

If you read the Bible, the Apostle Paul lumps homosexuality in a group of sins - adultery, etc. Sin is sin!

 

Genesis 13:13

Now the men of Sodom were wicked and were sinning greatly against the LORD.

Genesis 18:20-21
20. Then the LORD said, "The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous
21. that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know."

Genesis 19:4-7
4. Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city of Sodom--both young and old--surrounded the house.
5. They called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so that we can have sex with them."
6. Lot went outside to meet them and shut the door behind him
7. and said, "No, my friends. Don't do this wicked thing.

Psalms 12:8 The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men.

Isaiah 3:9 The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves.

2 Peter 2:13b Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

Ezekiel 16:49-50
49. "`Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.
50. They were haughty and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.

2 Peter 2

1. But there were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the sovereign Lord who bought them--bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2. Many will follow their shameful ways and will bring the way of truth into disrepute.
3. In their greed these teachers will exploit you with stories they have made up. Their condemnation has long been hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping.
4. For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but sent them to hell, putting them into gloomy dungeons to be held for judgment;
5. if he did not spare the ancient world when he brought the flood on its ungodly people, but protected Noah, a preacher of righteousness, and seven others;
6. if he condemned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by burning them to ashes, and made them an example of what is going to happen to the ungodly;
7. and if he rescued Lot, a righteous man, who was distressed by the filthy lives of lawless men
8. (for that righteous man, living among them day after day, was tormented in his righteous soul by the lawless deeds he saw and heard)--
9. if this is so, then the Lord knows how to rescue godly men from trials and to hold the unrighteous for the day of judgment, while continuing their punishment.
10. This is especially true of those who follow the corrupt desire of the sinful nature and despise authority. Bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings;
11. yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not bring slanderous accusations against such beings in the presence of the Lord.
12. But these men blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are like brute beasts, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught and destroyed, and like beasts they too will perish.
13. They will be paid back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their pleasures while they feast with you.

But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

Let’s face it—the country’s in a tailspin.

 

 

 

 

2 Chronicles 7:14

If my people, who are called by my name,
shall humble themselves,
and pray, and seek my face,
and turn from their wicked ways; ,

then will I hear from heaven,
and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land.

[Elsie]

But let's get bogged down with the fantasy of stripping people of their citizenship and deporting them.

HUH?

[Elsie]

Choose ye this day which god’s you will serve.

[Elsie]

It would be nice if Freepers could recognize what is really important right now—and stay focused on it.

I do; but folks want to shoo me away to the Religion Forum...

[Elsie]

The Government at any level has NO business being involved in marriage, that is up to the individual churches.

True; but the gummint is in a bind because the fags cry FOUL! over the FACT the married people get TAX benefits.

It ain't about LOVE; folks!

[Elsie]

Or the Mittbots as well.

[Elsie]

But it will obviously depend on the scenario by the time my state’s primary hits.

True.

By the time Indiana got around to it's primary; Romney had already chased the good folks away.

[Elsie]

Since these issues are Biblically based also, should we leave them up to individual churches also?

Well; you wouldn't see that theater shooting weirdo in Colorado serving a LIFE sentence!

[Elsie]

Polls are ALL propaganda used to drive results, not measure opinions.

BINGO!

We have a WINNER!!

[verga]

True; but the gummint is in a bind because the fags cry FOUL! over the FACT the married people get TAX benefits.

I have no problem with "civil unions" that would allow tax benefits and other legal rights, but Marriage is strictly limited to a man and a woman. I will not stand for the government forcing anyone to do something they find morally offensive because of personal or religious views.
