[quote:Anonymous Coward 1190661:MV8yMTgxMDQxXzM2OTEyNDQ0X0NFNjM2RjM=] Fantastic effort cmoG530 BUT in your zeal did you note the contradictions? First of all you fail because you believe all this rubbish is GOD's words. Mostly you quote men and seriously flawed men at that. DO YOU KNOW THE TRUTH? Obviously not! I haven’t got time to discuss every quote but I’ll pick a few. [quote:cmoG530:MV8yMTgxMDQxXzM2OTA4MTAyX0Q1RkY1REZE] Leviticus 19:15 Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour. [/quote] SO where can it be so easily proven that you can’t trust MOSES? [color=blue] Deuteronomy 21:18-21 "If a man have a [B] stubborn and rebellious[/B] son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them: Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place; And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice;[B] he is a glutton, and a drunkard[/B]. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear." [color] Now you have read it did notice that at the start of the verse the son is just [B] "stubborn and rebellious"[B] BUT, they are ordered by MOSES to testify that he is [B] "a glutton and a drunkard"[/B], thereby bearing FALSE WITNESS! Moses is teaching people to break the 9th Commandment. Isn't he? [color=blue] Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. [/color] OOps hang on no he isn't ... According to the Bible GOD apparently thinks it is fine to bear false witness against a relative, thereby getting the son stoned to death! He states clearly "against thy neighbour". Would GOD really make such a simplistic, fundamental error? Your GOD obviously isn’t as intelligent as mine because mine would have said [B] Thou shalt not bear false witness against anybody. [/B] [quote:cmoG530:MV8yMTgxMDQxXzM2OTA4MTAyX0Q1RkY1REZE] 1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. [/quote] Paul the oppressor amazes me. BUT, believers trust in Paul amazes me even more! Where did Jesus teach this? This is an absolute and outright contradiction to Jesus’ teachings! You quoted Jesus below but you failed to relate it to the wrongful teachings that you quoted from Paul. [color=blue] Matthew 7:1-5 Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. [/color] You continually attempt to justify judgement and yet it goes against Jesus’ teachings. You quote Paul and MOSES as GOD’s word and yet it is demonstrably not, it goes against JESUS' teachings! All you are doing is fighting for the entire BIBLE to be correct and yet in doing so you make GOD look as foolish as you. Now for this gem – Do you really believe Jesus said this? [quote:cmoG530:MV8yMTgxMDQxXzM2OTA4MTAyX0Q1RkY1REZE] Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [/quote] IF so, why aren’t you preaching to dogs, cats and ants? Converted any horses or cows to Christianity yet? :1rof1: Why do you fail Jesus by not trying? :1rof1: I tried preaching to ants but they just wouldn’t listen… They kept scurrying about collecting food…:1rof1: If this wasn’t so unintelligent it would be laughable. :tantrum: [/quote]
Original Message
This is a very controversial issue right now, and it has people on both sides very emotional about their beliefs and opinions.
On one side, supporters of Gay Marriage say that Christians should apply the Christian concept of love to all people, regardless of sexual orientation. They also say that refusing marital rights to homosexual couples denies them basic freedoms granted to them through the constitution.
On the other side, opponents of Gay Marriage say that homosexuality has been thouroughly rejected and labeled a sin in both the Old and New Testament of the bible. They also say that legalizing Gay Marriage opens the window for other controversial and outlandish notions of Marriage, to include Polygamy, underage Marriage, and the marrying of animals with humans.
