Hold up Leviticus, wait a minute...
So homosexual's are damned to Hell?
They shouldn't attend church or adopt children?
And they can't get married to receive equal benefits?
Their taxes must really suck.
As Christians, we believe in a few things.
But we all sin. Every day.
Sometimes we don't even know we've sinned, because most of us are uneducated about sins.
It's more than the Ten Commandments, people.
Christian ladies, if we appear in public venues, talk to strangers, braid our hair or wear gold or pearls, apparently we need to repent.
And Christian men, don't wear kilts or any kind of clothing that is soft. Say goodbye to that cashmere sweater Mom gave you for Christmas, because every time you wear it you're sinning.
Of course, all of these regulations appear in the Old Testament.
When Christ died on the cross for our sins, He freed us from the Old Testament.
In Hebrews 10:9, God stated that He took away the first law to establish the second, hence the New Testament.
Leviticus is part of the Old Testament. Just sayin'.
How are the sins we commit every day any more sinful than being gay?
Some Christians believe that homosexuals are intentionally disobeying God.
They feel that although the deserve God's love, they shouldn't be allowed in church until they can lead a heterosexual lifestyle.
After all, their gay germs might spread to the rest of the congregation and then we'd all be damned.
WHAT?!
We can say this type of thinking is ignorance, but that would be judgmental.
All of us, Christian or not, disobey God to a certain extent.
We knowingly lie, laugh at someone's expense and judge people by their outfit or car they drive.
It does not matter in the long run what we think about anyone.
The only judgement that matters is the judgement of our Savior, who clearly wants us to love one another.
When we see our fellow man hurting and crying out for help, we should do something about it.
Roughly 16,000 children a day die from starvation.
Still, many Christian conservatives don't think homosexual couples should adopt an impoverished child or any child for that matter.
The main argument is they will turn the kid gayer than Elton and Liberace combined.
Whether people are born gay or choose it as a lifestyle, no parent wants pain for their children.
Any couple, regardless of sexual orientation, that chooses to adopt obviously want children.
They want to protect them and nurture them, not see them get teased or bullied.
The world is cruel for enough reasons.
We shouldn't assume homosexual parents would raise children to be intentionally gay and endure the pain they suffered as young adults.
Teenage moms, single parents and crackheads have kids.
Shouldn't two loving parents, regardless of gender, have the same right as a crackhead?!
Gay couples face a ton of opposition when it comes to marriage.
First it's legalized, then it's not.
We need to just make up our minds and legalize it already.
Gay marriage isn't hurting anyone!
Divorce rates are at an all time high in the United States.
Many homosexual couples find a partner, settle down and spend the rest of their lives together, the same way heterosexual couples do.
They just don't receive any of the benefits straight couples do and aren't legally recognized as married.
People argue that marriage is a sacred institution, a Christian right between a man and woman.
All of that went down the tubes with the first broadcast of "The Bachelor."
We can't hold on to the image of marriage being between a man and woman just because someone once labeled it "sacred."
Sacred is something that is honored, revered, cherished.
Gay couples feel the same love heterosexual couples feel!
They don't have a different strain of love DNA in their genes!
It is 2010.
We need to stop being homophobic and hateful.
God's judgement is the only one that matters and He loves ALL His children.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that WHOSOEVERBELIEVETH IN HIM should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus is the son of God, He died on the cross for our sins and rose from the grave.
The Bible is God's message to us and by reading His word we learn how to be a follower of Christ.
We shouldn't lie, steal, cheat, take the Lord's name in vain or murder.
