For some of them it is important. That’s why some are such admament Trump supporters. Because the Bible is so important and stuff.
That's why so many of us hated the previous admin who were marxist and hated America.

As long as you are man and woman! By your picture, are you man and bacon double cheeseburger?[winking]

Same lame joke twice in one thread? Does the Bible mention anything about not having a sense of humor being a sin? It might be in the section about going to hell if you eat shrimp.

It's not so much commitment as it is that it's part of Christianity. Contract vs. covenant isn't that much of a difference, except that contracts are made to be broken. To the Christian, marriage is supposed to be a model of Christ to the church. Among the many principles, of course one is husband and wife. The husband models Christ, and the wife the church.
Different people believe different things.....Christianity doesn’t have the monopoly on love and commitment and it’s role in family and family’s role in the purpose of life

But why do non-Christians care? They obviously don't believe what Christians do, so why do they care about a label?
I think most wouldn’t. But as I’ve said....there are many homosexual Christians that would probably care as well. For me, it’s about rights being the same. Changing definitions of marriage can just allow for rights to be changed in certain situations as well. For example: some states could vote to not recognize unions only marriages.

So it's not about the label, but about the rights then.

‘Merica! It’s all about about my freedoms as dictated by this 2000 year old archaic text!
That's what this country was based on. From the looks of things, marrying a hyperdermic needle and worshiping at the altar of cocaine and food stamps isn't working out for this country.,

Are you saying there are no gay Christians?
Plenty of gay Christians. I will say this, if a gay couple can find a church to marry them, fine. If you find that church, it doesn't subscribe to the bible's teachings.

So is that church a fake Christian church?

If it were to marry a gay couple then yes. I have no problem with civil unions by JOP. All rights given, just don't try and make a church marry somebody.

That's the wrong question. There may or may not be, that's not up to me to judge. I can tell you that there are no gay Christians that understand the Bible, and are proud of their sin enough to get married after they became Christian.

Yes, I couldn't care less if they marry and they should have all rights afforded all Americans.

So would/should a gay couple expect a Christian church that doesn't accept homosexuality to perform their ceremony in their church?

Has this happened? Genuinely asking. Is this a legit concern or just another Target bathroom pearl clutch?

Is there anything in the Bible that you find questionable?

Christian cake bakers, Jersey church was found to have discriminated against a gay couple for not renting a beachfront gazebo, but that's it so far here.

Why don't gays try this stuff with Islam? I'd love to see them go into a Muslim's bakery and ask for a gay cake.

I don't know that it has or hasn't. Just not sure why a label means so much.

Why would he find anything questionable...it's what he chooses to follow. If you're not going to follow the rules of the religion you proclaim to believe in, do you really believe?

Replace “gay couple” with “minorities” in your examples and tell me what you think.

I’m just wondering if there’s anything from it that he picks and chooses. I bet there is.

If so, then he has to deal with it. Maybe it isn't a choice...maybe he was born that way.

Of course, just this week. I'll one up you. My associate pastor barbecues pork as a side business!

Hint: you don't know Christianity nor the Bible like you think you do.

So you aren’t interpreting the Bible in a literal sense? What am I not understanding about Leviticus 11:10?

Hint: I’m not claiming I do. I’m asking a so called expert. What are the parts that are supposed to be taken literal and what are not?

So you think it’s ok to discriminate based on your personal beliefs and the federal government has to allow it?

Yes. It's ok if you get kicked out of a bar wearing your MAGA hat, or if you happen to be Milo.
