................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.
Wife supporting in attending gay marriage;And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples.
Mat 9:10Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.
Luke 15:1Husband not attending gay marriage for some reasons;That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other . And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
Romans 1:26-27Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
2Co 6:14Give honor to marriage, and remain faithful to one another in marriage. God will surely judge people who are
immoral and those who commit adultery.
Heb 13:4We have to make it a point to show love to our friend and also, it is good to show kindness and love to our gay friends and/or gay family. But, such intentions are mistaken when it comes to attending a gay wedding. Followers of Christ have the concern to stand up for righteousness, even if it results in discomfort, hate, division, or rift (Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
Luke 12:51-53; If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
John 15:18).
In my opinion, a follower of Christ should respectfully decline if ever invited to a gay wedding. And in the end, (Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone.
Col 4:6)
but if you are the flower arranger and you have business there, you must attend, you have to do your stuff, that's your obligation...............
