What the world does the world will do. They are blind to the light of the gospel.
We are not here to oppose the system but to the saving of souls out of a dying world.
But we are also children of the light and ought to walk in the light.
It matters to God what we do in Jesus' name as ambassadors of Christ.
Thus regardless of the peripheral issues presented on this thread the core issue arises from the OP posted by RickZ -
should a professed Christian, a person representing our Lord and God, attend a "gay wedding" ?
Would I as a God fearing Christian go into a Buddhist or Hindu temple and participate in their worship so as to keep the lines
of communication open?
So that they can know if they want to talk to me they can because I have accepted their ceremony as valid and equal to
my Christian worship of Jesus.
A homosexual wedding is a profane ceremony and my wisdom is do not go.
Do not bring Jesus into a ceremony that is specifically spiritually offensive to God who ordained the true purpose of heterosexual
marriage.
Calibob has brought up other examples of non-Christian weddings that we should probably also not attend.
My daughter and son-in-law were married before a civil celebrant without any vows to God. Yes they are worldly and need the gospel like anybody else, but their marriage was not designed to bring a terrible profanity from the Adversary before God.
The rainbow movement has an agenda and that is to take Christian marriage and family down, down, down.
So why are some Christians so zealous to help them achieve this?
Yet again you’re comparing apples and oranges.
You can’t bring other religions ceremonies into your dubious well of invalid premises.
To me you come across a person that prefer keeping Jesus in your pocket so that the unworthy sinners you despise should not get to know him.
I got news for you, mon ami, we’re to spread out everywhere people are, regardless of them being Pharisees, righteous, self righteous, heinous sinners, gays, deadbeats, freeloaders, multimillionaires, shady people in general and etc etc.
But you, you’re advocating the complete opposite of what Jesus taught us. He said:
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Matthew 28:19
How you gonna do that from your safe place?
