I have a question then: What if I'm of an other faith that does not condemn homosexuality. Do you believe that a Christian's voice is more important in this country, than someone else of another faith?
Great. So what did Jesus have to say about homosexuality? The answer is nothing, pro/con or otherwise. He did however state:
"It is not what goes into the mouth that defiles a person, but it is what comes out of the mouth that defiles... what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this is what defiles, for out of the heart comes evil intentions, murder, adultery, fornication, theft, false witness, slander; these are what defile a person, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile." (Matthew 15:10, 18-20)
Clearly, Jesus did not think adherence to Judaic law was as important as the common sense concept of being decent toward your fellow man. Why do you feel it is important to cite Jewish law Jesus himself found irrelevant? I suspect it is because, try as you might, you will never, ever, be able to cite Jesus condemning homosexuality.
Christianity is not based upon facts; it is based upon faith.
You should not use the Bible as a weapon against other humans who do not believe the same as you.
You should use it as a guide on how you personally can become closer to God.
Let me make myself clear I dont condem homosexuality, GOD does. It is not my place to condem anyone. I love all people the same ( or try my best to ) If you are of another faith then that is between you and GOD. Marriage is held sacred by the Lord and when its definition is watered down to reflect sin Then I am forced against my relegion to accept a worldy definition for marriage, which is a GODLY act.
what if there was an amendment on board to change "Buda" to orange, would that be acceptable? Of course not. Or Baptism for washing an elephants behind. I have no problem with the term "civil Union" and reconizing gay rights, no problem at all. But when socitey want to twist a christian term then its time to speak up, because my rights are in jeopardy.
You have still not answered my question.
Do you believe that your belief system as a Christian is held to a higher regard constitutionally than someone else of another faith?
In the United States of America?
John 3:17 for GOD did not send his SON into the world to be its judge, but to be its savior
Now Jesus defined an act of Marriage as between a Man and Woman can YOU find me Anything to the contrary I bet not
The burden of proof is not on me, it is on YOU because you state Jesus is against homosexuality. Keep reading...Jesus never weighed-in on the topic.
