I won't go on. All I see from these gay obsessed Christians, besides closet gay indicators, is : More Cherry pickin'.

Besides whoremongers and menstealers (was Paul jealous) those verses include others, like whisperers. If whisperers can't make The Kingdom we're all in trouble.

My point is : Christians are all up in arms about gays, but don't protest, or speak out loudly (to say the least) against gossipers. Why, cuz if they reject gossipers there won't be in money in their coffers any more, and they won't have enough money to even buy vBulletin. They'd have to use Facebook. But then the only reason anyone would 'Friend' them would be to talk behind their backs. haha.


And that dream of Peter?!? Thanks for pointing it out. I've always loved that story. Why? Because God pulls a switcheroo on Peter, and reveals He has different judgments than Peter got from the OT (if Peter could even read).

The ultimate moral of the story, besides inclusiveness of forbidden food is : We can't use the Bible to determine what God does, or doesn't do, or will do, in the future, or at the judgment seat.

For all we know, for reasons beyond us, God could give some gays a pass ... like He will surely do for the whisperers (unless He wants heaven to be empty -- He could do that too, btw).
Awareness, firstly, good to participate in this side of the discussion, as one who holds alternative views myself, I think I fit right in.

Secondly, on topic - Christians focus on gay marriage because it was gay marriage which was accepted, not gossip-approving laws, or murder-approving laws (actually, abortion could fit in this category).
You should be thankful for all the Christians who are against gay marriage. Basically, a Christian at home standing against gay marriage is doing greater service for their country than a soldier in Afghanistan. You know why? Because God is a bigger threat to America than terrorists will ever be. Just ask Sodom and Gomorrah. Those that try to prevent God's judgement are doing a greater service to their country. If you disagree with me, what's your reason? Don't believe in God? Don't fear God? Don't believe in God's judgement? Believe terrorists are more powerful than God? Am open to hear the real reason you think the issue of gay marriage is not that important.

Perhaps it is the perceived hypocrisy of Christians to obsess about gay marriage over other issues. Unlike gossip, the matter is important from a societal, family and generational viewpoint. There are good reasons for Christians to focus on it over other issues.
