Gay Marriage

As you are in the Religious section, we shall presume that you are aware of the aspects and requirements of those who profess to be Followers of God, to be more specific, Followers of Christ, to that end we continue in this debate. The question: Why deny the right of marriage to two people that love each other?I have reseaarched rather lengthly the scriptures in search of the truths of God. In that search I have discovered the keys to understanding, to rightly dividing the word of truth. I have also been shown the reasons for the failings of the church which has lead to these end times, or more directly put, The apostacy of the church which by all appearances appears to be in full swing. This would indicate a signs of the times, and as such begs believers to begin looking up as ..... well, Believers know why. What does this have to do with your question one might ask? Precisely this.... in my entire search of the scriptures, from cover to cover ... NEVER, please allow me to reinterate .... NEVER, have I come upon any scripture in it's entirety that advises, illudes to or remotely infers that we are to GIVE IN to the flesh .... have you?In point of fact there are multiple illistrations of exactly the opposite is there not? Case in point:Luke 9:23 Then he said to them all: "Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.Matthew 10:38and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.Mark 8:34Then Jesus called the crowd to Him along with His disciples, and He told them, "If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.Luke 14:27And whoever does not carry his cross and follow Me cannot be My disciple.Not one of these requirements and yes their not optional as indicated .... says to give into your pleasures!It does however say:Romans 8:5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.Galatians 5:17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary the flesh. They are opposed to one another, so that you do not do what you want.Galatians 5:19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery;Once again we are in a Religious Section so one supposes that we speak of the right of God or the right of Men? As previous scriptures have already plainly stated, as a Believer you are DEAD to self, and alive in Christ. The persons you speak of are DEAD PERIOD and Hell bound ... aren't they? Why? Easy, they are not of God and all who are not of God are of the Devil ... as plainly stated throughout scripture:John 8:44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.Romans 1:26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.Leviticus 18:22 “‘Do not have sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman; that is detestable.1 Timothy 1:10 for the sexually immoral, for those practicing homosexuality, for slave traders and liars and perjurers--and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrineTell me? Those you speak out for? What part of all the scriptures you've been shown thus far do they honor? What of this:1 Corinthians 6:19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; 20 you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies.1 Corinthians 6:9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to nor perform homosexual acts,1 Timothy 4:6By pointing out these things to the brothers, you will be a good servant of Christ Jesus, nourished by the words of the faith and sound instruction you have followed.So what am I saying? I'm saying 1 Corinthians 6:3 Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!That very much means we shall judge the sin, not the sinner. What IS SIN, is sin, there can be no other verdict. That implies a guilty verdict before the eyes of God .... punishment is in accordance with the word of God, not of ours. We may pray for them, we may plead before a Holy God for His intercession for the offender, but we can NEVER support, infer support, encourage support, nor allow the sinner to BELIEVE we are in support of their choice to sin.As such the wages of sin? Ezekiel 3:18 When I say to a wicked person, 'You will surely die,' and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood. and in conclusion:Ezekiel 18:4"Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine. The soul who sins will die.I am of Gods, that very much infers that I HAVE no opinion whatsoever, I am Gods, to serve at His will and for His pleasure ... I am not my own. I stand in His service ... if God says it, I believe it and that's it! I shall not deviate, because I cannot deviate. Those who do, may profess to be in His service all the way to Hell. That Hell IS where they shall be .... is I think clearly stated, by God Himself!
