Gay Weddings
dave:
I have little to say, it has been a good, thoughtful, and a human thread. I am glad for all the offerings, for me as far as my walk I will stay with
Luk 17:3 Take heed to yourselves. Yet if your brother should be sinning, rebuke him, and if he should ever indeed repent, forgive him."
Luk 17:4 And if he should ever be sinning against you seven times a day, and if he should ever be turning about seven times a day to you, saying 'I am repenting,' you shall be forgiving him."
No I do not fully understand the position that confronts me/a believer on this subject, but I know that I am a sinner seeking repair of my weaknesses, IF confronted with the situation of being asked to attend a homosexual gathering of any kind, I don't know. I have no fellowship at this time, but should I have a FRIEND of that persuasion, I would say I would go, simply because a FRIEND asked me. I would be worthless as a FRIEND if I did not go. LOVE is LOVE Mat 11:29 Lift My yoke upon you and be learning from Me, for meek am I and humble in heart, and you shall be finding rest in your souls,
Mat 11:30 for My yoke is kindly and My load is light." But that is just me.

I was invited to a "gay wedding" a couple months ago. Actually, my wife was invited and she asked me to go. The couple that were married are friends of my wife and one of them is a former colleague of hers (my wife works in social services, specifically working with those infected with HIV/Aids). I have met both of these men at several of my wife's work functions and we have gone out to lunch with them a couple of times - nice guys.
With that being said, I declined to go to the wedding. I simply did not want to support or in any way be involved with a celebration of their union. My wife did go. She is not an advocate of the homosexual lifestyle, but in her mind she was there to support her friends, not their "their sinful union".
I told her that attending the wedding would be celebrating and supporting a lifestyle that is clearly condemned by God. She saw it as God knew her heart and knew she was not celebrating their homosexuality, but was supporting her friends who she loves unconditionally. In the end, she went to the wedding alone. I feel I was justified in my decision not to go and she feels justified in her decision to go. For me this was a black and white issue, for her it wasn't an issue at all. Let God be the judge.
