First of all I am a Christian. Second, I am Against Same sex marriages. I believe these people who are homosexual need help not marriage. Marriage was given to man, by God, as the way a man and a woman are too become one in Gods eyes. When you trample on that, like homosexuals do, you will shame yourself.

Quote
Leviticus 18:22
“Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.”

Leviticus 20:13
“If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.”



The Law given to Moses by God is very clear about punishments for homosexuality. I am sure glad Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive us of our sins.

Quote
Hebrews 13:4
“Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.”


The Bible rarely goes to specifics on homosexuality but refers to it in the more general term “sexual immorality” It is understandable why since such behavior probably did not even have a name, back then.

Homo sexuality is wrong and is a sin.
It’s on the same level as perverted old men having sex with little boys and girls.
I don't hate them, I just know they have picked an, immoral, self destructive life style and I can forgive them of that. But they need help to change their ways, not a way to indulge themselves in their lifestyles and that’s what gay marriage is.

Right.....But that's a christian view point on religious marriage.
Hey, if the church wants to refuse to marry queers, then so be it.

However...

Since US and Canadian law forbid mixing religion and state,
this makes it a moot point whether the church marries gays.
The debate is (on a national scale) whether homosexuals should
legally be allowed to marry, not religiously.

Way to beg the question. I grant that the old testament was out-and-out against homosexuality. However, this prohibition is situated among other rules that I'm sure you break quite frequently without even thinking that you have sinned, and in fact committed an abomination of the eyes of the lord.

SO, working within the new testament, and not begging the question, what have you?

Grown men are capable of giving consent. From a legal standpoint, this makes it VERY different.

Funny, they were happily going about being homosexual without the help of the state giving them marriage licenses. It's not a way to indulge themselves, since they can equally well commit the sin without the marriage.

I'd say it's fair to let them get married. It's everyones private thing, and there's no harm. Why wouldn't they be allowed to do so?

Romans 1:26-27 seems pretty clear:
"For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet."

Also 1 Cor. 6:9, Col. 3:5, 1 Tim. 1:10, 2 Tim. 3:3 and Jude 1:7.

Right.  I was answering Death_999's question.  I still stand by what I said earlier: "I think that this is a moral issue, and I don't really know that the government should be able to make moral decisions for people."

U mean like smoking and drinking look around it's been done already these are moral issues that have been outlawed, In recent news Okay not recent but within the last 3 years Mike Bloomburg (don't like him so I don't care about spelling) passed a law making it illegal to smoke indoors( affects inside bars as well) and to drink outdoors. Those of u who don't know who Mike Bloomburg he's the Mayor of New York City. So lets drop "it's a moral issue" as a defense.

TERMINATOR - the obnoxious one

P.S. Death999 I'm curious on where u stand on this, u seem to make points for both sides, are u for, against, or just don't give a damn?
