I have no hate nor did I state having hate for you or anyone else...please read comments carefully and do not add words to comments that aren't there. Still don't agree with your life style; but, it's your life to live. You have your freedom of speech and so do I. May your life be blessed just the same.
@msljyoung you don't speak for Christians or Americans. Most Americans believe in Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Most Christians believe in loving God with all your heart, soul, body and mind, and treating your neighbor as yourself. I'm both a Christian and an American.
You are neither. Denying marriage to loving happy families; denying parents who are married to deserving children, denying equality to your neighbors, that is not coming from love, but hate.
As long as you pretend that gay people have the same freedoms that you enjoy, as long as you pretend that your disagreement with my "life style" somehow gives you the right to block my happiness, as long as you are SILENT when Christians like you bash and bully good people, you are doing a tragic disservice to God and Country.
when you say that you "don't agree with your life style" what the hell do you mean? I've been married for fourteen years (tomorrow) to the greatest husband anybody can have; I made a promise to love, honor and cherish him before God and family. We have two children that we brought into this world and are raising in the church.
I am not putting words in your mouth - but I want you to explain what you "disagree" with, or apologize for your nasty bullying and disrespect.
@msljyoung I pray for you, because you just don't seem to understand what marriage is and isn't. You don't need to be married to have sex; pedophiles have no interest in marring their victims. Catholic priest didn't marry their victims. Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't marry his concubine.
And I pray for you because you don't seem to understand what freedom and equality is. Just because you /can/ ban gay couples from committing to monogamy through marriage, doesn't mean it is right or moral.
@msljyoung the world is not spiraling down, you are. I was so lucky to find somebody that I love and be loved in return. It is your hatred of people like me - fueled by some fear that people will marry their children (really, who told you that?) - it is your hatred that makes laws that drives the world to hell. What kind of incentive do gays have to behave morally, when they are legally and socially prevented from doing so?
I wish you didn't hate your gay neighbors so much.
When you use the blessings God gave you to seek out and punish gay people, it is not love but hate. When you call people inherently evil it is bullying, and when teens kill themselves because of it, it is murder.
@signab43 One of the Comandments is THou shalt not kill. That also means to hate someone , that is murder in your heart. I am not saying you are evil but you are making a sin.
We are all sinners sometimes we sin without even knowing it. But it says in the Bible
that it is an abomination (same sex relations) I am not bulling you but to not tell you the Bible truths would be wrong.I am also not telling you that you are evil, I am not your judge nor do I wish to be.
@signab43 I am not killing anyone. I am trying to help you Repent in the name of Jesus Christ and sin no more. It is wrong for you to try and make the Holy Bible fit your Choice. This is out of love that I am telling you this.
Mhhhmm... You are just giving in to the lust of the flesh. Homosexuals cannot reproduce!!! It's that simple! We were designed by God to be one man and one woman for marriage. It's always been that way and it always should be that way.
Mhhhmm, you are just giving in to the lies you have been hearing. Remember, marriage is not necessary for reproduction.
God made marriage for joining families, mutual comfort in adversity, and to raise children in the Church. There are few things more traditional than wanting to get married and raise children.
What is irrational is your inhospitably toward your neighbor. God hates that kind of behavior.
I wish you would repent of your hatred, and embrace the American tradition of Freedom.
I wish you would learn what "hononyms" are. "Pray" is what people do to God; "prey" is what pedophile priests do to children.
But your ignorance extends from there. You cannot enter the gates of heaven by hating your neighbor. You cannot tear apart perfectly good marriages and expect to be rewarded by God. You can expect the opposite.
Repent, philly2HOT. Treat your neighbor as yourself, rebel against authority, and spend your energy feeding the poor and healing the sick instead of hating.
I guess it's your job to weigh "marriage is only between a man and a woman" with God's admonishments to treat your neighbor as you would treat yourself.
"There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:1
I wish you would consider joining Jesus in teaching respect for the highest form of human relationship, instead of joining with the Opponents of Equality to say God's love is not universal.
Yes, we should always live our lives as though the end is near. So is the most important thing for you to do to bully people who are just trying to be the best people they can with what God gave them into celibacy or suicide?
God says many things about relationships, but never never says marriage is between a man and a woman. He says man should not be alone, and marriage is to make sure that doesn't happen. Monogamy is not the same as celibacy.
Repentance and celibacy would be your best bet if you wanna spend eternal life with Jesus!
Since when was spreading Gods truth bullying?
Oh yeah I forgot Christians that speak the truth are bigots and haters...*rollin eyes*.
In the marriage of a man and a woman, the couple become "one flesh" (Gen 2:24). In all other sexual couplings, the act involves "strange flesh" (Jude 1:7).
I appreciate the admonishment - it's nice to know that you care - but I'm not going to walk out on my husband of eleven years and two small children because your interpretation of the Bible. That would be more of a sin than anything that you're describing, and shame on you for trying to break us apart! "What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder." Mark 10:9
I have plenty of things to repent for, and I do, but being made Gay is not one of them.
We're just going in circles. Gen 2:24 uses 'dabaq' for Adam and Eve just like He used it for Ruth and Naomi in Ruth 1:14.
This is not an accident: God wants us to be monogamous and faithful, for Man should not be alone, but he doesn't care about what dangles between our legs, just what is between our ears and in our hearts. Mat 22:27-28
When you call for an end to gay people, you are jumping past God's suggestion: monogamy. I wish you would use your mind instead of punishing your neighbors.
A soul was not created as a homosexual soul. A soul does not become a homosexual soul. A soul can begin to think that it is a homosexual soul, but the process by which the soul envelops itself in this illusion begins with a choice. And the process can only be upheld and reinforced by a continuous string of choices made by the soul.
the bible is always used as a weapon to attack gay people but to be honest most people read it out of context and/or forget the original and intended meaning of the scripture.
it's easy to pick a quick quote out of a book which apparently condems homosexuality but it's often that little bit harder to look at the scripture and think about what it truly means with an open mind.
I don't think there's anything wrong with homosexuality and i hope you and your partner find the hapiness you deserve
Absolutely. Jesus taught us to look beyond the laws and follow the truth - to love God with all our heart, soul, body and mind, and love our neighbor as we love ourself. I don't see any message to punish people you don't like or don't agree with for ANY reason.
Thank you for your good wishes - except he is my husband, not my "partner."
I was lucky enough to find somebody who I love and like, and likes and loves me in return. We have built a life together. It might be lust to you, but it is real to us.
As for your approval - I don't approve of Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, but I would never think of standing in the way of their marriage. I wish you wouldn't stand in the way of mine.
Well let me just say. I'm not in your way. Do what you will or want to do, but it's still ungodly. Jesus Christ really doesn't approve of it. We are all sinners. So I pray for you. Please pray for me also.
How dare you put words in the mouth of Jesus Christ. The Jesus Christ I know doesn't hate people because of the way His father made them. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Galatians 3:1
The Jesus Christ I know tells us the way to heaven is not through who you punish but who you help. Is teaching that gays are limited to celibacy or suicide helpful or hurtful?
Now I must admit I have yet to read the Bible,and Im sure there will be a hundred thousand comments that I should read it before commenting on anything yada yada yada.
But to me as a person,what I think not what the Bible has to say. I think its just wrong to tell them to die or go to hell. Who are we to tell people what they should or shoudl not do.
Read the bible beyond Genesis. Ever heard of Sodom and Gomorrah? The two cities that were DESTROYED for practicing homosexuality? Not REWARDED. A person becomes a homosexual because of SIN (Romans 1:24-27), not by birth.
And about your "promise you made to your partner". Because a Man cannot marry another Man(by Gods law, not Mans law), you are not married. Your doing whats called fornicating.
You cant use the bible to support your sinful lifestyle because homosexuality is a sin.
I can understand why you are passionate about this, DoeBoy. I would probably feel the same way about homosexuals if I didn't know God's truth.
The Bible does not say man cannot marry man or woman cannot marry woman. I'm sorry if you disagree, but your disagreement is with the bible, not me.
Before you condemn your neighbors, you ought to be really certain what the Bible says - read about S&G and Romans instead of just quoting hateful bigots.
Thanks for your supportive words. If marriage is a time-tested legal and social structure uniting two families, it is very weird that in America same-sex couples are only able to access the social part, not the legal.
And it is weird that the strongest opponents of letting people choose marriage are the champions of individual choice - the Republicans.
So how do we fix it? Legal fixes don't work as long as we have Constitutional amendments blocking equality. We have to fix the prejudice.
you know what the poop shoot is for pooping if you keep poking that you will get sick, doesnt that make sense to you, waste comes out of there, thats stinky how can you be happy about that, arnt you smart enough to clue in, i dont want to insult you but you need to know the truth your wrong, i care about people and if i say nothing then iam looking the other way and pretending i didnt see or hear what is going on, remember jesus loves you
the bloodhole is much more gross. I can't believe anybody would stick anything in there where it bleeds every month and gets stinky with flies and stuff.
But gay marriage isn't about gay sex. It goes for everybody: if you want to get rid of sex, get married.
I think that if you are going to ask me to break the promises that I made to my partner of ten years and my children, to pursue a man-on-woman relationship (or two), that I need more of an explanation than "end of discussion."
God has plenty of opportunities to condemn gay couples in the bible. But he does not. Instead he rewards them, such as with Ruth and Naomi, using the same word "cling" to describe their relationship as he does Adam and Eve.
I have no hate nor did I state having hate for you or anyone else...please read comments carefully and do not add words to comments that aren't there.
