no church can ever endorse homosexuality, never going to happen.
the word of God is pretty clear on this issue.
Haven’t Episcopalians already don that?
And this may be the crux of the issue going forward.
It seems clear that homosexual marriage is here to stay in our civil laws, and will be imposed on all 50 states eventually.
But will churches be sued over not participating in homosexual marriage, in their doctrines not allowing same, in their doctrines calling it sinful behavior?
I hope that the liberals don’t start suing churches over the issue of homosexual marriage. I see no need for them to do so, because most liberals are irreligious, and if they adhere to their own standards of tolerance and live and let live, this should be a non-issue to them.
I find it humorous that “respectable” churches and center-right commentators are now endorsing gay marriage. The pretense was that they were not on board with it all along.
The true church has been a clandestine institution for most of human history.
The direction taken here is to refrain from suggesting that people engaging in homosexual acts should be physically attacked (as was implied in the past under some circumstances) and also the emphasis on defining the behavior as homosexual, not the person.
The word of which god is clear, on this issue?
Gods word is clear, but didn’t stop the Episcopal Church...these people think Gods word needs to be updated with the times. They are called liberals and they poison anything they touch...government, education, religion, Boy Scouts, transfats....need I go on?
That only works with the “No True Scotsman” argument. Because some churches do endorse homosexuality. Heck, the Quakers have since the 1960’s.
