I ask again...is a civil ceremony a marriage in the eyes of God?
NO; answered again.

NO IT DOESN'T. It simply means he did not condemn them. Not condemning something does not mean you support it. I hope your logic gets a little better as you move on.
Are you actually saying that... "If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them shall be put to death for their abominable deed; they have forfeited their lives." is where Christians are supposed to be?
."Apostles" is plural...but you only offered quotes from ONE apostle...the late-comer, Paul. And Paul condoned slavery. (1 Timothy 6:1ff; Colossians 3:22; Colossians 4:1; Titus 2:9; 1 Corinthians 7:17ff.) As did Jesus, as you mentioned in Matthew 5:17
NOT ONE WORD SPECIFICALLY CONDEMNING HOMOSEXUALITY. Which is what I said.
Why not just acknowledge that I am...rather than all this bullshit?
In my workplace, we accommodate certain Christians by not forcing them to work on Sundays. Your whiney little theory falls apart there, doesn't it dumbfuck?
I realize it's anathema to you, but try to do the tiniest bit of homework on discrimination laws before you continue to embarrass yourself, cunt.
You won't, however. The best you uninformed little twats can do is rant on about your victimhood. All the while, demonstrating your incredible and willful ignorance on anti-discrimination and civil rights laws. It's nothing less than amazing that there are simpletons as stupid as you that fail to grasp those very simple concepts.
But, Bible study does take precedence in homeschool, doesn't it, Jethro?
Wrong again; a civil ceremony is the Governments attempt to involve themselves in our lives and extract payment for such. A religious ceremony is the only valid form of marriage and that is under the eyes of God and witnesses to that commitment made between a man and a woman. It is a necessary and important component to civilized human endeavors.
Once again you confuse Government with PUBLIC.
He's competing for victim status with blacks, homosexuals, Muslims etc.........
Before marriage was ever a religious sacrament it was a contract ........ Still is in US law.
Ah, so now we're playing the hair-splitting game. Okay, use the word "tolerate" instead of "support." Meaningless distinction for the point you are making, but you want to play kids games, there it is. You arguing that Jesus would TOLERATE homosexuality because he didn't specifically condemn it means he would also TOLERATE pedophilia, bestiality, and rape.
Better, oh petty one? Speaking of poor logic.
First you hyperventilated over Jesus not clearly opposing Christianity, as if that somehow invalidated objecting to religious discrimination. Now that it can be shown that you were wrong about that, you shift gears to hyperventilating about Jesus' anti-homosexuality views being antiquated.
Pssst. Your stupidity is showing.
.
Back to the hair-splitting game. Meaningless distinction. People who legitimately spoke for Jesus on things condemned homosexuality. This changes no part of that. Try again.
Hence all the evidence I posted showing that your argument was incorrect and irrelevant. Try to keep up.
Um, again, because you aren't, as has already been demonstrated. Geez.
NO; answered again.![]()
you better fear death
I'll give ya some details..........if you spend this lifetime hating a minority or multiple minorities, you're reborn into the exact same conditions they suffer
in other words all your hatred for those abused, by human scum just like you, blows right back in your face
good luck
Says the only person supporting the oppression and hatred of one group of people.
No I'm not. If you only want to deal with certain people you can do so, and never open your doors to the public.
That is a lie and an attempted strawman; the PUBLIC is all citizens. How is it not? Explain. Again, you confuse "public" with "government".
The Government will not do business with a company, or allow a company that does business with the Government to discriminate under their rules.
As to operating outside of that "government" environment, where does the Constitution say I have to accommodate EVERYONE regardless of my religious beliefs?
So Chevron's CEO should swear in the POTUS?
you're a bastard?
Wrong you dumb fuck.

I asked a yes or no question. Why do you people have problems answering it? Is a civil ceremony a marriage in the eyes of God? Can one of you gutless little fucks give a yes or no answer to this simple question?
I answered unequivocally; why are you having an argument with yourself or acting like a dumbfuck who can't comprehend the word NO?
Good, let's go with that. If it isn't a marriage then how can any Christian say they are being forced to abandon their beliefs about marriage when it isn't a marriage?
