Gay Weddings
arion:
I've avoided wading into this one but for me this would be one of the easiest decisions I'd have to make.
Rom 14:23 .......for whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
1Jn 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
I could not attend a homosexual union [I refuse to call it a wedding. They want the honor that goes with the marriage bed]. Even if it were my own child I could not attend and give my approval. I would love that child unconditionally. The child and even the partner would be invited into my home [separate bedrooms for overnights] and I would be loving to them and not rude in any way. Another believer could come up with many reasons why they could go and can show bible verses for the way they look at it. Fine. That is between them and God. Fact of the matter is if someone has to ask whether or not it is 'ok' to do something then they already know the answer in their heart. Whatever is not of faith.....

Lol............Ricky, gay people are not terrorizing the planet, what your hearing in the news is a deception , what we have are gay activist trying to change the very fabric of society, when gay activist go into a mom and pop bakery or flower shop they are not there to buy cakes or flowers, they want to be told no, in other words they go where they know that particular store will not cater to them.
Let me reiterate, you have two bakeries side by side, one will sell to gay people without and issue the other will not, guess which one the gay activist go into, that’s right you guessed it, the one that won’t , I wonder why.......LOL
Its all about breaking down the power structure and fabric of our society, its just another hole in the wall. Gay marriage, abortions, drug addiction, can’t work because I get panic attacks, but its all in the plan of God.
It only appears the world is upside down but its not, God is in control, always was and always will be. :)

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?

I think in context, I said if I was accepting (truly I don't know what word to use. It's not that I don't accept the fact. Or love him. It's just I don't accept that this is acceptable behavior) of his sexual leanings than that would be substituting what I believe is the teachings of the God of the Universe with the god of this world.
I'm not sure why that's a struggle for you. An idol is a god. Anything not from our God is an idol. I'm afraid I think you are just being argumentative because you don't agree. I've already said in essence that attending a wedding is showing support. I do not want to show support for that which I know is sinful. As Ray would say, "Am I going too fast for anyone?".

;D ;D ;D ;D I just love that Rayism. It's one of my favorites.
I agree with your statements.
Dave in Tenn:
I'm bowing out of this one, though I think a good random number to 'stop' it at would be 7 pages. ;D Doesn't mean another train of thought couldn't be followed in a fresh thread.
I just want to say that I did not intend to 'compare' anybody in this thread with the Westboro Baptist Church folks' doctrine or attitude. It was all about 'demonstrating'. My 'presence' or 'absence' from this hypothetical gathering would not be for purposes of 'making a statement'. That's what I mean, and all I meant.
Truth be told, I would rather be the bride at such a wedding than spend an hour silently 'worshipping' with that crowd. And that's the truth.
Finally...Extol, I DID hypothetically excuse myself from the "honeymoon" as I have done at every other actual wedding I've attended. I'm sure that makes no difference to most of you, but it does to me...so I'm sticking with it.
