That was amazing.

Thank you for your kind reply.

As a former Atheist, it was my silly attempt to prove scripture bogus that led me to see the truth of God's Spirit having inspired it to be written. 

I too had the occasion to shake my fist at YHWH and demand he prove himself. He graciously put it in my heart to prove him myself. It ended with me truly on my knees before the Cross. There is no other. All the rest are Fallen Ones, pretenders to the Throne.

These gay thread have been beaten to death. Everyone knows each others stance and will not convince others.

My last parting comment..everyone should make one and just let it go.

Go on nearly any conservative site and the anti gay/anti gay marriage threads are about 15 to 1 over adultery and fornication...maybe even higher

For 2% of the population there sure is a lot of hand wringing  among Christians

Adultery and sex out of wedlock has  hurt marriage and this country more than gays or gay marriage ever will just as gluttony(obesity) which is a mortal sin have hurt this country more than Aids ever will. Seen to many anti gay conservatives who are on their 2nd or 3rd marriage.

I'm done  we all know each others views.

Adulterers and fornicators are not suing Christian businesses out of existence because they will not accept their behavior or partake in acknowledging and participating in it.  Adulterers and fornicators are not demanding "equality" and "civil rights" to have their behavior established as a Constitutional right.  Adulterers and fornicators are not engaged in programs to indoctrinate children to accept and practice their behavior.

While fornication and adultery have hurt marriages and families, they have not deconstructed the institution of marriage and made a mockery of it's existence and purpose.  And while fornication and adultery produce their own consequences of misery, pain and brokenness, they do not infringe on the conscience of everyone else or punish their religious beliefs when they reject that behavior as repugnant and unacceptable.

It has to do with the liberty that the homosexual agenda seeks to abolish in the name of equality and rights while forcing acceptance and their behavior upon all, while destroying the very institution of Holy Matrimony itself.

Yes, I was going to point that out.  The fact that we even use the words "gay agenda" says it all.

It wasn't a 'gay' thread until Jazzhead decided to make it one in post #4.  When confronted with the inability to discuss the North Carolina bill on its Constitutional merit, emotion took over.

Well.... actually if you look at the article in the OP - the entire premise of this thread is about homosexuality considering the article the instigated the discussions and arguments is centered around the state of North Carolina introducing a bill to restore the ban on homosexual marriage in their state.

All it did is bring the pro-homosexual and anti-homosexual protagonists into the arena to battle our positions.

Uh, no.  It is a ban on same-sex marriage.  Marriage is not the same as having sex.  Marriage is a restriction placed upon individuals by the state regardless of whom those individuals desire to have sex with.  It is applied equally to all without regard to sexual preference.
