Information isnt Advocacy
And Bible thumpers led the Abolitionist Movement.And again- how does that make you know that God does not recognize homosexual marriage vows?
Really- as a Christian doesn't it make you a tad uncomfortable to be claiming to know what God does and does not 'recognize'?
There is a certain hubris to that.
If I didn't feel certain it was a sin, no. There are things I do that I know God doesn't approve of. Many, actually but just because I like doing them doesn't make it no sinful. I see the planks in my eyes also.
Prayer and Bible reading along with taking Bible courses make me certain what God considers sin, not matter what alternate arguments are out there. I could debate divorce and sex before marriage with the same conviction.
Look- you are welcome to believe whatever you will believe.
You have created a chain of biblical comments that do not address 'gay marriage' and you have decided that you know what God thinks.
And that is hubris.
There are many things not specifically addressed in the Bible but, if you are a Christian, you can know what are sins based on what the Bible says, like homosexuality being an abomination to God. The scriptures in the Old and New Testament are enough for any Christian to understand this, and, anyone that doesn't is just mis-interpreting scripture and twisting it to fit their own beliefs (which is also a sin).
You nor anyone else has to believe me or agree with me. But I'm 100% certain on this.
Slave owners, segregationists and anti miscegenationists were all as sure of their bible verses as you are.
Yup, abolitionists also used the bible.
