gay marriage

Hi Nate, I will try to respond to your points as best I can. Point 2: 'It doesn't hurt you to get married. And just because you think it hurts people, doesn't mean that they can't get married. If it hurts people to get married, then why not just take marriage away completely.' I believe you are saying that I have argued that it hurts people to get married. I argued that homosexual marriage falls under a category of hurting self and others. I believe that homosexual relations hurt self and others as much as homosexual marriage would, in the same way that lust and relations based on false love hurt others. I am arguing against the legalization of gay marriage because I do not desire to make a law out of something that is not truly real love, for the sake of the persons involved, and also for the sake of our country, that we may continue to secure God's blessing as much as possible by being in alignment with the laws made known to us and the laws written in our hearts. Which perhaps will bring me to answer point number 1: Not every body is Christian. How this is fair to all of the other religious people? What if my religion disagrees with yours? I speak to these laws of God as someone who has searched for God. I also speak based upon personal vision, and the best way I can describe this is perceiving things to be of God and not of God. I believe the enemy (Satan and one third of the angels who fell from heaven) use many means to sway us from truth, love, and God. Because I have perceived in my dreams that Satan I also know that when I speak what I believe to be God's truth in the best way I can, there is light, healing, and more perception that I sense. So when I speak against homosexuality, I do so through what I sense to be the perception God is giving me(mainly through dreams where I saw the outplaying of this relationship and with it sensed there was evil behind it- evil and confusion.) So to your point number 3, where you ask if I believe that people who are gay are possessed by Satan, I say that I believe that the enemy (and many other fallen angels who aligned themselves to his plans) has ways of entering minds. Can the enemy enter your mind to possess you to desire to kill others (such as high school massacres). Those things have happened. Can he enter your mind and heart to possess you to enter into lust, or homosexual relationship? I believe yes. Can the spirit of God also enter into one, to bring about healing, truth, wisdom, and many other things. I say yes. The devil, however, wants to keep people tied to sin, and away from healing, miracles, and God's vision, by trapping people in sin. Faith, I know, is necessary, and the enemy has penetrated almost everywhere and especially in religious circles so as to confuse people and make them doubt. So, while we, myself included, remain in doubt of God and do not search for his answers, we may make bad choices, including homosexual relationships, but many other things. Still, everyone has a right to his beliefs, but I argue this based upon my beliefs, and for the root of the Christian religion, which comes with healing, visions, the Holy Spirit, and is not just words and judgement.
