Humorous since the biblical fathers held that the age of consent was 12 for girls and 13 for boys. In that aspect sexual immorality has been bound to a higher standard than it was then.
Christians know that a gay couple can follow Christ's Law just as well as a straight one and that is all Christians are required to do. For all things compatible with that Law they were given the power to bind and loosen requirements as the times and need requires. Sex is a purely terrestrial dogma, Jesus said there was no sex in heaven - it is exactly this kind of issue that Christians were allows to change as our understanding changed.
So yes, despite what the ChINOs say, it is alright for a woman to teach a man, to have their head uncovered in church, buy a car on the Sabbath, shoot move the Sabbath, take over a pagan holiday to celebrate Christ's birth on a day not His birthday, charge interest on a loan, get into heaven in spite of unrepentant self-abuse, etc.
To real Chirstians who accept Christ's light yoke, marriage equality is in keeping with His Law.

I'm going to say your knowledge of scripture is flawed in saying that sexual sins were held to a lower standard then. Back in the days of scripture, there was an age of consent. Where twelve and thirteen year old men and women were able to own their own property and were treated as adult human beings who were responsible for themselves and their own well being. We don't even treat sixteen year olds as adults these days but they're stupid and immature; spoiled in ways that people in biblical times could only imagine was heaven.... and would not be able to survive a month in that time period.
So..."forgive" me if I don't believe you but.. back your first assertion with scripture, please. I know Mohammed the Muslim prophet came to "know" an...eight? year old girl. And yeah, that's not my cup o' tea.
The Bible does not describe homosexuality as a “greater” sin than any other. All sin is offensive to God. He spoke of what we must do to get into Heaven. And that is to believe in his sacrifice AND become a penetant soul. The Holy Trinity is who Christians worship. It is not about accepting unrepentant souls into heaven and forgiving deviants. The Lord loves those who change, recognize their sin and turn away from their sin. He says if you come to him, believe in Christ and repent of your sins...which means you will turn COMPLETELY from your bad path whatever it may be...worship of false idols, adultery, murder, thievery, homosexuality... he will cast out your sins and forget them forever. I don't go to Church every day. I wouldn't pretend that any other sin would be forgiven either unless you hadn't repented of your sins. And I won't pretend I like I have a better chance than a gay man at getting into Heaven. Sin is sin.
The word repentance in the Hebrew text holds heavy weight that the English word "repent" cannot properly express. So I'm not saying, " God hates gays. ". Or " God hates gays. ". Or "God hates sinners". He loves us all. He is just sad to see that we are not following his Law and being truly penetant Christians/Hindus/Buddhists/Muslims/Agnostics and therefore
will, (sorry Atheists) not pass. Basically in summation, very few will make it into heaven. And when he comes back he's going to be piss** at everyone.
He leveled Sodom and Gomorrah for it (***all*** of their sins ) and would not want any other sin writ into human law that would oppose his own. It ain't personal. It's just what the bible says about homosexuality. If you want to know what it says about lust or worshipping other Gods I could inform you of that too.
So go ahead and have a domestic partnership, civil union or same sex union. Please don't call it marriage. Marriage is something that God made between a man and a woman and he was very clear on it. Call it something else...anything else. Same tax benefits I don't care just change the LABEL. Just leave the *word* alone. You can even say we just got, "Hitched!". It is called, " Same sex marriage". If you called it "Same sex union" I would have no qualms. If you really want to eliminate opposition to the idea change the name and I'm on board. Bring it. It's like wanting to play someone else's poker game with your own rules. In the end, you just lose man. God is pissed and it's going to be awesome.

TO everyone. Sorry I started/added to this stupid debate thing.

You win.

I don't care.

I didn't realize there would be so much uh...words and ideas.

Much love.



oh and p.s: watch the movie: "Life of Pi" it's really cool. It's about an Indian guy that survives a ship wreck with a wild animal on board his craft. And how he comes to believe in the divine...(( he believes in like millions of Gods..literally. IT has nothing to do with this article or homosexuality or sinning but just love and understanding the storm we call life. That was a long rant I am sooo sorry guys
