Interesting thread, Religion and beliefs are powerful tools. What's more interesting is generally each section believes they are correct. Now I would classify myself as a christian, a Baptist to be specific. I attend Church when I can, and when I can't I usually attend digitally. Keep up the discussion all.

So, I may or may not be able to post the daily bible verses Friday through Sunday. This all depends on if I can get a good 3G signal on my phone while in Chicago. Should I go ahead and post them tomorrow or would someone like to substitute for me?

Should I go ahead and post them tomorrow or would someone like to substitute for me? Just go ahead and post them tomorrow. No big deal man. |

Some Presbyterians said that Gay Marriage was Christian...
I swear some fucking idiots don't even bother to read the bible they are preaching.
It's OK to say that you like Gay Marriage, but to claim that it is Christian is fucking stupid. It is a well known fact the bible specifically states NOT to fornicate with same sex, animals, or a pie.
Saying that gay marriage is Christian is like saying that lying is Christian or killing is Christian, it is a sin and shouldn't be applauded by the Christian people.
That doesn't mean you have to go around bashing it (IE: West Boro) but supporting it is doing exactly the opposite of what God wants.

To add to that, I really can't stand it when someone calls them self a gay Christian. That defies what a Christian is. The Bible clearly states that those who practice homosexuality will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God.

The Bible clearly states that those who practice homosexuality will NOT inherit the Kingdom of God. Well, personally, I think it is perfectly okay for a gay person to be Christian. 1. At least they know the right path... well, sort of 2. It's a sin, like any other sin. If I sin and can still call myself a Christian, then it is only fair that they can as well.

I should have worded that better.
I do believe that it is alright for them to be Christian, however, if they are still gay, then they will not go to Heaven. Yes, every sin is forgivable, but you must repent and turn away from the sin. The Bible states they won't go to Heaven as long as they practice homosexuality. It's kind of difficult to explain, but it is what it is.

Well as I said, you must repent and turn away from sin. Anyone can get to Heaven if they repent and turn away. So technically, if you follow the Christian lifestyle and are a homosexual, you have not turned away from the sin and therefore will not gain entry into Heaven. |

That doesn't mean you have to go around bashing it (IE: West Boro) You actually shouldn't bash it at all in fact, or at least not those who are gay. "Therefor thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." -Romans 2:1 KJV “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye." Matthew 7:1-5 ESV |

What I do when talking to homosexuals about the topic, I simply tell them that I love them and not insult them over being gay. I also let them know that I don't agree with their lifestyle and that I'll pray for them, that they may make the right choice before it is too late. |

Also, I can't stand that they say Christians are judging when we just quote the Bible.

I try to be as nice as possible to them, because as I said, being mean only makes them do one of two things
1. Be more gay
2. Suicide

To add to this discussion, when they say it is hate to disagree with their decision, I always think, "Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth."
