Gay marriage is for homos.

 

[madman]

I'm going to go with God's word on this one...

Those who do such things are worthy of death.

 

[Granite]

Let's legalize it and move on to something more interesting and important...

 

[Stripe]

Those who do such things are worthy of death.

All are worthy of death. Why did God single out homosexuals as especially worthy?

 

[madman]

All are worthy of death. Why did God single out homosexuals as especially worthy?

Yes, we are all worthy of death (eternal separation from God). However, some are worthy of being put to physical death because of their behavior in this life.

Are you willing to support death for all the Old Covenant laws that require it? Including stoning your own children should they become overly disrespectful?

 

[kmoney]

:up:

As I've said before, I think the government should get out of the marriage-defining business altogether, but if they are going to, let it be for same-sex couples too.

Yes.

Why?

What have you heard? :noid:

 

[assuranceagent]

There is no such thing as gay marriage.

...or shoe forks. lain:

 

[CabinetMaker]

Yes.

Why?

What have you heard? :noid:

I have heard that if you circumcise your self to part of the law then you must obey the whole law (all 613 or so of them), you must keep them all perfectly and that Jesus's sacrifice is of no value to you.

Sounds like a lot of work. What if you just want to stone your children on occasion? Is there a loophole or something? :idunno:

I don't think there is a loop hole for stoning, but I have heard you can use a cane or a rod as needed.

:idea: You're handy!

Are you willing to remove all punishment for evil behavior? Sounds like you are.

 

[Stripe]

You gotta pick and choose what you take from OT law. You cannot declare all things are currently applicable and nor can you declare none of them as applicable. Make a selection and justify it.

Choose well.

Me? I say DP for murder, kidnapping, adultery and lying to a judge to falsely incriminate or cover up the same. Why? Because those are social laws that a government might be expected to protect its citizens with.

 

[assuranceagent]

It could be that...or it could be that he makes a pretty solid point with respect to consistency...

:think: ...nah. You're probably right.

 

[CabinetMaker]

Are you willing to remove all punishment for evil behavior? Sounds like you are.

There is only one unforgivable sin and it ain't sex. That means that homosexuality is a forgivable sin no longer deserving of death. Nor is it deserving of legal protection or status, it is still wrong.

So, are you willing to stone all that the old covenant says should be stoned? Including children? Including your children? (Yes, this is inflammatory but it is also mandatory under the old covenant.)

We do not get to pick and choose and justify.

Galatians 5:2-4 (New International Version)


2Mark my words! I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all. 3Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law. 4You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Is it possible to forgive murder?
