Nice to see you guys so happy that this country is going against Gods teachings. Mock the moral, make fun of those that try to follow Gods word.
Where exactly do you think that will get you? I thought liberals were non-judgemental, but you seem to take great pleasure in judging people who think different than you.
I will try to pray for you, but it will be hard. You guys are very hateful. Someday when you are standing before the Lord, I hope you can come up with a good reason why you mocked his word, and belittled his followers.
Ha drama queens. I'm glad people can marry whoever and didn't expect anything to change with the aca.
Out of curiosity how many of the SC justices are from the Midwest or have Christian background?
Find it interesting everybody wants separation of church and state unless it comes to healthcare that forces church to cover something they're morally against.

The sex.
A man shall not lay with a man as they lay with a woman.
Seems pretty simple to me.
Picking and choosing what to follow in the Bible isn't very faithful.So the old test doesnt count now? Says you , I guess. Jesus did not say that.
Matthew 5:17
" Do not think that I came to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish them, but to fulfill them"
Do we as a people uphold all that is in the old test ? No. But trying to live according to what the bible teaches is better than not.
Do you really think Jesus looks on homosexuality with favor ?
Don't know. He never said anything about it. He did command you to love your neighbor and to not judge.Do you really think Jesus looks on homosexuality with favor ?
What about my gay neighbor that has his rebel flag flying?Don't know. He never said anything about it. He did command you to love your neighbor and to not judge.
That's Leviticus. Remember that doesn't count now.
Or is it also ok to kill you neighbor when he mows on Sunday? Sell my daughter into slavery? Don't let my cows graze with horses? Don't wear two different kinds of fabric? I can't get a haircut or shave? Don't let the blind or lame enter the church?
You are picking and choosing which parts of the Bible to follow.
You can quote that stuff until you are red in the face, but if you love all of God's creatures you don't condemn them for being different, Winning.
Don't know. He never said anything about it. He did command you to love your neighbor and to not judge.
What my neighbor does in the bedroom is not my business. I'll my judgements about what is right and what is wrong for my own personal life and I'll let my neighbor do the same and love him while he's here on earth. God, and God alone, will judge him when the time come. And yes, what Christians are doing these days is an unloving judgement.Would you love your neighbor if you condoned his sinful behavior?
Romans chapter 1.
18 For
the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. 19 For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 20 For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. 21 For although they knew God, they did not honor him as God or give thanks to him, but they became futile in their thinking, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools, exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore
God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a llie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
26 For this reason
God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.
28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God,
God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.
We aren't to judge??
In Matthew 7:1-5, Jesus did say not to judge. However, a close look at these verses will show that He is referring to unloving and unjust judging. It is wrong to make judgments about a person's motives or thoughts because we don't know their mind. However, in John 7:24, Jesus said, "Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment." In this verse Jesus is talking about making righteous judgments in regard to God's laws. We must make judgments in matters of biblical doctrine and righteous living. The Bible is our foundation and if we don't discern and follow what God says then it will become just another book. Then everyone will be doing whatever they think is right, just like the Israelis did in the time of the Judges. Judges 21:25 says, "In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as he saw fit".
To keep God's commands, we must first judge what is right and what is wrong. For example, 1 Cor. 5:11-13 say, "... you must not associate with anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. 'Expel the wicked man from among you'". In these verses, God tells us to judge church members and expel them if necessary. Then we are told in Rom. 12:9, "Hate what is evil; cling to what is good". How can we do that if we don't first judge what is good and what is evil? So, we must make judgments about what is right and what is wrong so that we can live according to God's commands.
There are plenty of examples of religious groups and people being forced to follow laws and policies which apply evenly to all Americans. Freedom of religion does not mean freedom to do literally whatever you please.Ha drama queens. I'm glad people can marry whoever and didn't expect anything to change with the aca.

Having employers provide health care is a system you'd never pick if you were starting from scratch.I don't want church in government, but I want government in church. As in taxing every church like a business. There is so much abuse out there. Read up on the "church" of Scientology and you might want churches to be taxed also. They have billions in cash and real estate and are the most corrupt organization in the world.
Back on healthcare, If you are going to employ folks in the U.S. then provide healthcare without trying to control everyone's behavior. Universal healthcare will take care of this issue and many more.

All I can say Aggie you should probably think about all the people who are hurt or die because of religious belief. And which religion would you have me believe in because when I look at them they all seem to claim to be correct. Religion is nothing more than a type of politics. Mostly white males running the beauracracy here in the US other religions abuse woman without thought or consideration. The only thing that scares me more is that now that companies are people too and money can be spent without any rules that the new God has become money and the rich are going to push their religion of greed right down our throatsNice to see you guys so happy that this country is going against Gods teachings.

Also, why would employers want this? Why do they want to be in the business of administering health plans?No doubt. A group of citizens with no ties to insurance companies, drug companies or hospitals could come up with a system that would work in six months.

If you believe that homosexuality is up there with murder, you have a poorly functioning brain.
Technically, what I said was it's ok to kill a living creature in a humane way, especially when the end-goal is to use the creature for the benefit of mankind.Why is that Cow,
In a previous post, NM said it was ok to kill a living creature, but not ok to have sex with it. Evidently sex is worse than murder, so the punishment must be greater.

Also, can you point me to where Jesus talked about homosexuality? Please and thanks.
I wonder how many times you've associated with someone that's sexually immoral, greedy, a drunk, or a swindler? What's the verse about removing the the log in your eye before removing the speck in another? If you'd worry more about your flawed Christian life and less about how other people live, everyone would be much better off.
