BEING gay is not a sin. Having gay sex is. And if your pastor doesn't believe that, he's not reading his Bible, either.

Does love thy neighbor mean you shouldn't follow them around on a message board taking cheap shots and making nasty comments?

Since he's been a pastor for over 30 years, I'm sticking with his beliefs.

Loving them doesn't mean condoning their sins and taking part in them. That's what you just can't seem to get.

And those are the greatest commandments, not the only ones.

I don't believe homosexuality is a sin.

Well, there's evidence of skipping the bible verses you don't like.

And just because you don't believe it doesn't mean anyone has to agree with you. Especially when you don't believe in God, either.

Wrong again.

I think the Judeo-Christian idea of God is too limiting.

I cannot get over basing an entire belief system on "believing" in same-sex marriage. It's not something that needs "belief". Furthermore, the arrogance of adhering to whatever morality ONE PERSON thinks, like they know everything and better than everyone else, is astounding.

Heck, in Muslim countries, they KILL them. You'd think a little bit of energy would be spent on that, but noooooooo, let's just target Christians who don't want to cater WEDDINGS.

The Old Testament demonstrated God's Holiness and Judgment. That Man is utterly incapable of being Holy before God. Thus the need for animal blood sacrifices. Those sacrifices were are foretelling of Jesus who came as the Ultimate Blood Sacrifice. The reason there are so many rules in the OT is because even one Sin cannot enter the presence of God. And, as human beings, we sin even unknowingly. When Jesus came, he was the Fulfillment of the Messiah foretold be Isaiah, Jeremiah and all the prophets. That is why we no longer have to do animal sacrifices or go into the Holy of Holies with the High Priest, etc. Jesus has fulfilled all of that.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

And, under the New Testament we are under the Grace of God. God's love, mercy and grace are fulfilled and demonstrated by Jesus Christ.

Change your mind about what? That Muslims can refuse but Christians cant? I think Big Gay purposefully targets Christians. So, you want to shut down the Christian bakeries, then shut them down too and kick those hardworking people out of their businesses too.

So, would you support shutting them down and closing their doors and putting them out of business? I mean, they can probably get unemployment and survive.

Notice that NONE of them kicked them out. They simply refused to put on the cake what the person wanted.
