Having grew up Baptist, I know that they believe homosexuality to be a sin. I know that they also believe drinking to be a sin. I also know plenty of Baptists who drink and have gay friends. That doesn’t mean the Baptist Church had changed its teachings, it just means people are sinners and live for the world and not God.
Same is true for Catholic’s, which I am now. The Church teachings and beliefs on homosexuality are very clear. But there are many reprobates among us who are more interested in being popular than following Christ. It’s a problem everywhere.
Those of us, Protestant & Catholic alike, who still believe the Truth, should work together not against one another. I get tired of Catholic’s being treated like if there is one or many sinners who don’t follow the Truth then we all don’t. I don’t treat Protestant’s that way because it’s simply not true.
We’ll probably all end up in “Re-education Camps” one day we better learn to get along now.
I was raised a Baptist, drink and have gay friends.
I don’t approve of “gay marriage “ as an article of faith.
If the secular givernment wants in on the business of gay marriage, fine.
Hell, they could get into polygamy for all I care.
But, the church shouldn’t be in that business.
Oh, and my friends, who are gay, exclaimed their faux “offense” at my position until I explained it to them.
You wanna get married under the law, fine. However, the 1st amendment provides freedom of religion, which means you are free to choose no religion or a religion that condones your position.
You and I are not free to impose some sanctimonious position that violates the other’s rights, otherwise thise rights are no longer universal.
To this day they agree.
