Same Sex Marriages

[Stone]

Nice dodge.

You dodged. You skipped my question which came first and were dumb enuff to quote it.

[anatta]

activist pope. they are becoming more so.. Many Catholics are happy about it -many are not.
Catholics I know just kind of ignore Rome, and carry on their religion regardless

What does it say about adultery?

What does it say about forgivness of sins ?
Jesus says "go forth and sin no more".
Homosexuals wanting a "union" have zero intent to sin no more. Blatantly so.

"Were you never taught not to answer a question with a question? Nobody respects that,.... its all about muddying the waters. "


Hilarity in total ignorance continues. Dumb as a stone doesn't appear to realize that no less than Jesus himself is THE principle exponent of this method of debate this side
of Socrates. Seriously? In a Christian thread some Christian tard bemoanes the Socratic method? Seriously? Seriously? Saturday night live skit comedy material, and unintentional to boot.

The pope is a lot of things,...... amazing isnt one of them. What does the Bible say about homosexuals btw?

It says they should be put to death.

"If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall surely be put to death; their blood is upon them." Leviticus 20:13.

Is that what you advocate?

Pope Francis endorses same sex unions!

Will this cause another schism?

This Pope is amazing!

That's been an often stance. Like me, I don't understand why we don't give them a union with the same rights. That's the ticket, rights. Anyone opposed to gays having a certifiable union with all the rights is silly. Call it something else if they must, but it has to have the same family laws and rights. The terminolgy can be kept as it is and still give them a recognized union with all the same rights. I will say this goes both ways though. The ones on the other side that may push that not being good enough can grow up too. Let the religious have their marriage and gays can have their couple and family rights with their own label of union.

Sodom and Gomorrah tells us a lot about Gods view of homosexuals. The pope must not have read the Bible or doesnt believe the words of the Bible. OR...... is out to deceive people. My guess is number three.

^ That is the Jewish Bible, aka Old Testament.

In Christianity there has always been theological debate about how much of the Jewish Law Christians had to follow. According to Paul, salvation is attained by grace alone, not by following the Jewish law.

And yet 20 or especially 50 years ago it wasn't silly at all. It was a hot rail no conservative would come within 90 yards. It was a love that dare not speak its name.

Being conservative ALWAYS means having to look ridiculous in retrospect and to have to say "I'm sorry, I was a fucking idiot" No exceptions.

For geocentric cosmology to same sex marriage and each and every stupidity in between, that is the fertile soil in which the conservative beetle thrives. Dumb as dirt.

Maybe he wants to get married to his bishoprick?

My guess is numbers 2 and 3

It says they should be stoned to death.

Is that what you advocate?

Unfortunately that was considered proper punishment back in that dark age when a lot of that was written. An ounce of understanding of Christ and you know that is not OK. The Old Testament really should be re-translated through the guise of Christ rather than relying on us to do it ourselves. I mean, we are Christians after all, not God fearing barbarians.

Totally agree. But, homosexuality is also mentioned in the new testament as well.

No, that is not the lesson of that myth. Keep searching.

Actually,....yeah,...you are right.

Like most things the Bible says whatever you want it to say
