Gay Weddings
lareli:
Octoberose, Alex and Extol.. So from you perspective attending a gay wedding would mean that you have made that person your god?
Gina and the way you see it attending a gay wedding so not to offend the person would mean you love that person more than Christ? And this is not your personal feeling but is in fact TRUTH?

As we have said repeatedly here: there is a difference between associating with a gay person and celebrating gay marriage. Why is this so hard to understand?
I don't mind playing tennis with a gay person, or buying food from a gay cashier, but I don't want to celebrate that person's marriage. That doesn't make me two-faced. Maybe it will help you understand if we drop the "gay" part and give you an example from "straight" people:
I visited Alex over the winter and we had a great time together. We had Bible studies, went to the beach, went out for lunch, and so on. Let's say during my visit I fell prey to my youthful lusts, and wanted to go check out a pornography store. If Alex refused to go with me, should I whine and complain and say "you're not accepting me for who I am. You should love me, weaknesses and all"? Give me a break. He would rebuke me, and he would be right to rebuke me. He would still be my friend and brother. He wouldn't be a two-faced hypocrite for going to the beach with me but NOT going to the porn shop with me.

Well, Kat, I'm not disagreeing with you at all. Matter of fact I'm with you 100% on what you said in your last post.
I was trying to point out that whatever the CAUSE of the desire/behavior/defect (ultimately it is of God), nevertheless, it is still called SIN. We cannot re-define an act or a behavior God calls sin, as not sin, merely because we think it is unfair of God to have made us this way.
Mentally defective people sometimes murder. That makes them a murderer. Defect or not, I don't see any loopholes in the Scriptures that excuse anyone from guilt and accountability for their sins when they violate the commandments of God. With the possible exception of persons who sin in ignorance--and no 'Christians'--certainly no one here can claim that waiver.

Sorry. Yes I understand what you're saying. Difference in associating with someone and actually celebrating something. I wasn't asking about that. I was asking if attending the wedding of a gay person makes that person your god.
My original question was would you go to the wedding if it were your sons wedding. Octoberose answered and said something about not making our children our god. You and Alex commented in agreement with Octoberose answer. I am trying to clarify if you three are saying that attending your sons gay wedding would make your son your god?

And they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them out of the land of Egypt, and followed other gods, of the gods of the people that were round about them, and bowed themselves unto them, and provoked the LORD to anger.
--Judges 2:12
The people round about us have many gods, and Tolerance is one of the hottest ones going. The temples are filled with people of all backgrounds who have come together to bow down to Tolerance and Egalitarianism, never mind what their religious or moralistic upbringing has taught them. They've made these gods all the more tempting by saying these are gods of love---It's about loving all people, just like God commands us to do. We must show love for their sinful "different" lifestyle, and praise them for having the courage to admit to their lifestyle in the face of persecution. ::)
